OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for content determination of bavachin and bakuchiol in Psoralea corylifolia.METHODS:HPLC method was adopted.The determination was performed on Shim-Pack VP-ODS column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-water (gradient elution) at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min.The detection wavelength was set at 246 nm,the column temperature was 30 ℃,and the sample size was 10 μL.RESULTS:The linear ranges of bavachin and bakuchiol were 48.9-489 ng(r=0.999 8),784-7 840 ng(r=0.999 9).RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were all lower than 2.0％.Average recoveries ranged 95.30％-99.63％ (RSD=1.45％,n=9),96.89％-100.82％ (RSD=1.36％,n=9).CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,accurate,stable and reproducible,and can be used for the simultaneous determination of bavachin and bakuchiol in P corylifolia.

6, the number of relative dimensions intends to be stable. So, as few as possible parameter should be selected to reduce counting time, and the accuracy is not affected resultingly.

Objective To develop a system based on wireless communication technology for psychometric questionnaire test.Methods The system was composed of one base station connected to the computer and multiple handsets.Low-power-consumption MSP430F149 and MSP430F123A were used in the base station and the handset respectively as the control unit.LSD-RF1100-A433 based on RF CC1100 was used as wireless data communication unit.By scanning each handset in sequence,the communication between the base station and the handset was realized.Then the base station could receive data which participants selected from the handsets and then sent to computer.The base station was connected to the computer through USB interface.Results Experiments showed that the system was reliable and antijamming.Conclusion The psychometric system,with the decreased weight and volume by wireless technology,can be used for large-scale psychological examination and personnel selection in some special industries.

Objective:To detect the expression of upstream stimulatory factor 1(USF1) and its tempo-spatial distribution during mice teeth development. Methods: Total protein was extracted from P1 and P11 d mice first molar teeth germ, and Western blot for USF1 was undertaken. Paraffin sections of first molar teeth germs from E13, 16, 19, P1, 5, 8, 11, 21 d and 6-month-old adult mice were prepared respectively and immunohistochemical staining was carried out. Results: Western blot analysis identified one Mr 43 000 protein from P11 d mice teeth germs, but none from P1d mice. Immunohistochemically, evidently positive staining for USF1 in mice teeth germs began from P5 d, and extended to P11 d, which was mainly confined to the cytoplasm of secreting ameloblasts and odontoblasts, but no staining in bud, cap and early bell stages of tooth germ. However, after tooth eruption on P21 d, USF1 became negative again, although it was still positive in the adjacent muscles, and the same result was observed in adult mice tooth. Conclusion: USF1 is expressed in tooth germ, which localizes solely in secreting ameloblasts and odontoblasts, and its expression was quite dynamic during mice tooth development.

AIM: To explore the feasibility of using vector-based small interfereing RNA(siRNA) to inhibit the expression of MDR1 mRNA and P-glycoprotein and to reverse the multidrug resistance of drug-resistant ovarian cancer cell line.METHODS: An adriamycin-resistant human ovarian cancer cell subline OVCAR/AR was established by stepwise inducement.Another mutidrug-resistant human ovarian cancer cell subline OVCAR/MDR was established by transfecting multidrug resistant gene 1(MDR1) into ovarian carcinoma cell line OVCAR-3.Transfection of MDR1 mRNA specific siRNA expressing plasmids(pSN/mdr1a and pSN/mdr1b) into OVCAR/AR and OVCAR/MDR cells was performed using liposome transfection reagents.MDR1 mRNA expression level was quantified using real time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(real time RT-PCR).Flow cytometry(FCM) was performed to assess the expression of p-glycoprotein(P-gp).Multidrug resistant to anticancer agents was evaluated by 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide(MTT) assay.RESULTS: Basal MDR1 mRNA expression level in drug-resistant cell line OVCAR/MDR was higher than that in OVCAR/AR cell line,and was both higher than that in its parent cell line OVCAR-3.The expression of MDR1 mRNA and P-gp protein in both OVCAR/AR and OVCAR/MDR cells was inhibited dramatically by transfecting with pSN/mdr1a and pSN/mdr1b.The reversal rate of chemoresistance to adriamycin in OVCAR/AR and OVCAR/MDR transfected with pSN/mdr1a and pSN/mdr1b was 79.5% and 93.9%,compared with control group.CONCLUSION: MDR1 expression in the drug-resistant cell lines is partially inhibited by treatment with vector-based MDR1 specific small interference RNAs at the mRNA and protein level,which increases the chemotherapy sensitivity of these drug resistant ovarian carcinoma cell sublines.

Objective:To investigate the protective effect of isorhamnetin on oxidative stress injury of HaCaT cells induced by H 2O 2. Methods:HaCaT cells were cultured in vitro and treated with different concentrations of H 2O 2 (300, 600, 900, 1 200 μmol/L) for 12 h. Cell proliferation activity was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay; SOD activity was detected by superoxide dismutase (SOD) kit and malondialdehyde (MDA) content was detected by MDA assay. The oxidative stress model was established by the selection of suitable H 2O 2 concentration. HaCaT cells were pretreated with isorhamnetin at different concentrations for 12 h, and cell survival rate was detected by CCK-8 method to determine the safe concentration of isorhamnetin for subsequent experiments. HaCaT cells were pretreated with safe concentration of isorhamnetin for 12 h, and H 2O 2 was used to interfere with HaCaT cells for 12 h. Cell proliferation activity, SOD activity and MDA content were detected. Results:With the increase of H 2O 2 concentration, the cell survival rate decreased gradually, the SOD activity decreased gradually and MDA content increased gradually. Compared with the control group, the survival rate of 600, 900 and 1 200 μmol/L H 2O 2 groups was statistically significant ( P<0.05); The SOD activity and MDA content of H 2O 2 groups (300, 600, 900, 1 200 μmol/L) were significantly different from those of the control group ( P<0.05). The oxidative stress model of HaCaT cells was established by 600 μmol/L H 2O 2. HaCaT cells treated with 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 μmol/L isorhamnetin for 12 h showed no cytotoxic effect. 20, 40 and 60 μmol/L isorhamnetin was selected for subsequent experiments. Compared with H 2O 2 groups, the cell proliferation activity in 40 and 60 μmol/L isornetin groups was significantly increased [(72.21±5.11)%, (76.08±4.91)%, P<0.05], SOD activity increased (19.81±0.38, 20.52±0.52, 15.45±3.13, P<0.05) and MDA content decreased (35.94±0.31, 22.04±0.26, 19.26±1.36, P<0.05). Conclusions:The flavonoid isorhamnetin has a protective effect on oxidative stress injury induced by H 2O 2 in HaCaT cells, suggesting that isorhamnetin may be a potential drug component in the treatment of vitiligo.

Objective To isolate enterovirus 71 from a death children,and analyze whether the neurovirulence was related to the variation of nucleotide and amino acid. Methods Enterovirus 71 was isolated from throat swabs which were colleted from Shandong Linyi People's Hospital. The full length genome was sequenced by amplification with RT-PCR and sequencing of 9 overlapped gene fragments covering full length of the genomes. The nucleotide and amino acid sequenced was aligned by BLAST, Bioedit and MEGA 4. Results A strain of enterovirus 71 was isolated and named as SDLY107. The full length was 7405 bp. The results of homology analysis of overall nucleotide sequence showed that strain Fuyang. Anhui. P. R. C/17.08/2 had highest homology (98.6%)with strain SDLY107, and the homology was 80.0% between strain SDLY107 with prototype strain BrCr/70,and 86. 5% between strain SDLY107 with nerve strain MS/87. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the phylogeny was close between SDLY107 with some isolated strains from Chinese Mainland, such as Beijing, Henan, Guangxi, Sbenzhen, Lanzhou, Fuyang, Chongqing and Zhejiang strains, which was clustered for C4 subtype. The results of amino acid sequence analysis showed that there were 2 mutations, E947D and K1873R, for strain SDLY107. Conclusion SDLY107 belonged to C4 subtype, amino acid mutations E947D and K1873R of which may be relevant to the pathogenicity of EV71.
