It has been showed that there were obvious obstacle effects of Panax notoginseng replanting. Crop rotation was the main effective technique to overcome the obstacle. To find a reasonable crop rotation system for P. notoginseng, aqueous extracts from root, stem and leaf of P. notoginseng were analyzed for allelopathic effect on three maize varieties (which are often grown in regions where P. notoginseng grown). The main results were as follows: (1) Allelopathic effect of P. notoginseng stem and leaf extracts on the three other tested plants was stronger than that of root extracts; (2) Corn was more vulnerable to the effects of allelochemicals at seedling stage than at germination stage, and the corn root was more sensitive than aerial part to allelochemicals; (3) Lusan No. 3 and Yunrui No. 1 showed resistance to P. notoginseng allelopathy, with respective comprehensive sensitivity indexes (M3) of - 0.089 3 and -0.159 2, while Bainuo No. 1 is sensitive at M3 = -0.261 0. It then can be concluded that Lusan No. 3 and Yunrui No. 1 may be an alternative rotation plants for overcoming P. notoginseng continuous cropping obstacle.

Objective:To confirm the novel allele HLA-A*01∶130 and analyzed the nucleotide sequence of the abnormal reaction pattern.Methods: The HLA typing of sample DNA was performed by PCR-SBT.The ambiguous novel HLA allele was confirmed with single stranded SBT method,then DNA sequencing was performed to identify the difference between the novel allele and HLA-A?01:66 allele.Finally, it was modeled by Swiss-Model to three-dimensional structure of HLA Molecule.Results: The novel allele was not the same with all known HLA-A allele sequence.After analysis,there was one nucleotide differed from the A?01:66 at position 368 where A→G( codon 99 TAT→TGT) resulting in a coding change,99 Tyr was changed to Cys.The amino acid substitution at residue 99 the HLA polypeptide was located in a beta-sheet of antigenic peptide-binding region.Conclusion: The allele is a novel allele that has now been officially named as HLA-A*01∶130 by the World Health Organization( WHO) HLA Nomenclature Committee.

Objective To investigate status of macrolide resistance and determine molecular mechanisms in Mycoplasma pneumoniae.Nethods All of 370 throat swab specimens were cultured to isolate Mycoplasma pneumoniae.Mycoplasma pneumoniae isolates were identified by nested PCR for specific 16SrRNA gene.Antibiotic susceptibility test was done to identify acrolide resistant strains.23SrRNA gene wag amplified by nested PCR followed by direct automatic sequencing method.The DNA sequences were compared to the sequence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae M129(accession no.X68422)to find molecular mechanisms of drug resistance.Results Fifty clinical strains were isolated from 370 specimens.Of 50 strains.4 strains were susceptible to macrulide,46 strains were macrolide resistant with the percentage of 92%.MICs of resistant strains to erythromycin.Azithromycin and josamycin were elevated.The sequence of 23SrRNA gene in 4 Susceptible strains and the reference strain FH was identical to Mycoplagma pneumoniae gene in GenBank.46 resistant strains arbored a point mutation respectively,among them,40 strains had all A to G transition at position 2063.1 strain had an A to C transition at position 2063,the other five strains showed an A to G transition at position 2064.Conclusions Macrolide resistance in Mycoplasma pneumoniae iS very serious health conceru.The point mutation in 23SrRNA.Xpecailly predominant position 2063 mutation contributed to the macrolide resistance in Mycoplagma pneumoniae.The MICs of resistant strains to erythromycin,azithromycin and iosamycin are much higher than Mycoplasma pneumoniae reference strain FH.

OBJECTIVETo explore the regulatory mechanism of Xiaoyin Recipe () on the T helper 1/T helper 2 (Th1/Th2) immune balance.

METHODSThirty-six experimental animals were divided into three groups, 12 rats in each group: blank control group (B group), negative control group (N group), and Xiaoyin Recipe treatment group (T group). The latter two groups received immunization of experimental autoimmune thyroiditis (EAT), and T group were treated with Xiaoyin Recipe for a month. Then, the expression of Th1-Th2-related genes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were screened with Oligo GEArray Rat Th1-Th2-Th3 Microarray. The expressions of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-10 (IL-10), T-box expressed in T-cells (T-bet), and GATA-binding protein-3 (GATA-3) were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

RESULTSGene array screening showed that compared to N group, in T group after Xiaoyin Recipe treatment, 3 genes were upregulated in EAT rats, including interleukin-27 receptor alpha (IL-27rα), glomulin (Glmn), and GATA-3, while 38 genes were downregulated, such as CD28, IL-18, signal transducer, and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1), T-bet, TNF receptor superfamily member 4 (TNFRSF4), TNF ligand superfamily member 5 (TNFSF5), and TNF receptor superfamily member 5 (TNFRSF5). While RT-PCR showed that there was an increased level of TNF-α mRNA (P<0.01), an elevated ratio of T-bet/GATA-3, and a decreased level of IL-10 mRNA in PBMC of N and T group compared to B group (P <0.01); and after treatment with Xiaoyin Recipe, IL-10 mRNA level increased (P <0.01), while TNF-α mRNA level and T-bet/GATA-3 ratio decreased in T group compared to N group (P <0.01).

CONCLUSIONXiaoyin Recipe for psoriasis could induce a Th1/Th2 balance drift toward Th2 in PBMC of EAT rats and thus improve the conditions.
