Micromonospora distributes extensively in environment. But most of them have not been known because the limitation of isolation and taxonomic approach. The phenotypic information such as morphological, cultural and physiological characteristics have been applied widely in the taxonomy of Micromonospora. The functions of molecular methods become more and more important in the taxonomy of Micromonospra accompanying with the development of the polyphasic taxonomy. Micromonospora is one of the most important sources in finding new bioactive compounds, some of them can yield antibiotics, such as gentamicins, rafomicins and newmicins, some of them can degrade natural rubber and fibrin. It indicated in recent years’ study that some bioactive compounds with particular chemical construction could be found from Micromonospora. These compounds can identify cancer cells and kill them effectively.

Abstract? AIM: Through the establishment of penetrating keratoplasty model of rats, to detect the role and its mechanism of immature dendritic cells with IL-10 gene modified.? METHODS: Allogeneic penetrating corneal transplantation in rat model was performed. SD rats were randomly divided into positive control group, GFP-DC group, 8-DC and IL-10-GFP-DC group.At 3d before keratoplasty, the rats were given tail intravenous injection with the same amount of PBS, bone marrow 8-DC ( DC had cultured for 8d ) from donor Wistar rats, GFP-DC after 48h transfection and IL-10-GFP-DC.Rats were observed under slit-lamp for corneal graft cases every day, and recorded rejection index and corneal graft survival time.At 14d after keratoplasty, pathologic and immunohistochemical examinations were performed.?RESULTS:Compared with GFP-DC group and 8-DC group, corneal graft survival time of IL-10-GFP-DC group was significantly longer ( P<0.01 ); at 14d after keratoplasty, corneal opacity, edema, neovascularization and rejection index of IL-10 -GFP-DC group were significantly lower (P<0.01).Pathological examination showed that in the three experimental groups corneal inflammation was lighter than the positive control group without significant central graft neovascularization. Immunohistochemistry showed: compared to the positive control group, GFP-DC group and 8-DC group, CD4+, CD8+, CD25+, IL-2+, NK+and NF-κB+positive cells in IL-10-GFP-DC group were lower(P<0.01).? CONCLUSION: After donor -derived immature dendritic cells pretreated, corneal graft survival was significantly prolonged, successfully induced corneal transplantation tolerance. CD4+, CD8+, CD25+, IL-2+, NK+and NF-κB+positive cells are involved in corneal allograft rejection regulation, IL-10-GFP-DC may reduce CD4+, CD8+, CD25+, IL-2+, NK+and NF-κB+positive cell infiltration, inhibit corneal transplant rejection.

This study was aimed to explore recognition models and to establish statistical pattern recognition methods of cold-hot property markers based on lipid components GC-MS chromatogram of Chinese materia medica (CMM). GC-MS fingerprints of lipid components contained in 60 kinds of cold or hot property of CMM were used as the research object. The database was established. Five types of model establishment strategies were compared. Optimal modeling patterns were screened for the identification of herbal property markers of lipid components GC-MS chromatogram. The results showed that support vector machine (SVM) was the best model to discriminate cold or hot property among 60 types of CMM, which were able to effectively mark the characteristic area. The strongest markers tending to cold property was at the retention time of 61.550 min, while the strongest markers tending to hot property was at the retention time of 31.395 min. It was concluded that cold or hot property of CMM had close relationship with lipid components. The lipid component was one of the material bases of CMM. The mathematical statistical model based on material base and herbal property can be used to identify and predict the cold and hot property of CMM.
