Objective: To establish a quantitative analysis of multi-components with a single-marker (QAMS) method for the determination of the nine components in Reduning Injection (RI), comparing with the external standard method, and to evaluate the adaptation and application of QAMS method in the quality control of RI. Methods: Chlorogenic acid, isochlorogenic acid A, and gardenoside were used as the internal reference substances. The relative correlation factors (f) of neochlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, and caffeic acid to chlorogenic acid, isochlorogenic acid B and isochlorogenic acid C to isochlorogenic acid A, and secoxyloganin to gardenoside were calculated and established. The results were compared with those obtained by the external standard method. Results: Within the linear ranges, the f values of chlorogenic acid to neochlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, and caffeic acid were 0.965, 0.991, and 0.555, respectively; isochlorogenic acid A to isochlorogenic acid B and isochlorogenic acid C were 1.283 and 1.129, respectively; jasminoidin to secoxyloganin was 1.030. The two methods did not show the significant difference in assay results. Conclusion: The QAMS method is feasible and credible, and could be used to determine the multiple components in RI.

According to teaching practice of "microbial engineering", teaching reforms, such as conformity and optimization of the curriculum system, improvement of teaching methods and the construction of multilevels experimental teaching system, are investigated in this paper, in order to improve the teaching quality and enhance the overall quality and the abilities of operation and innovation of students.

The expressing cassette, LoxP-CMV-gpt-IRES-LoxP( about 2.9kb), was amplified by PCR from a plasmid, pIRES-gpt, by use of the primers , which contained the loxP sites in 5' terminals, respectively. The loxP sites were designed into primers by the software of Primer primer 5.0. Then the cassette was cloned into the site of BalI in pBUS10 to obtain pUS-gptIRES(L). The sequencing analysis for pUS-gptIRES(L) indicated that two loxP sites with the same direction were correctly inserted into pUS-gptIRES(L).The gpt gene in pUS-gptIRES(L) was replaced by a fragment including the full length GFP gene as well as SV40 poly A sequence to get pUS-GFPIRES(L). pUS-GFPIRES(L) was transiently transfected into CHO cell lines, and then the green fluorescence could be seen, the results showed that GFP gene could be expressed correctly. Moreover, pUS-GFPIRES(L) was transfected into the CEF infected MDV CVI988 strain and recombinant virus was selected by the green fluorescence. The growth curve of virus showed the characteristic of recombinant virus was the same as that of CVI988 in vitro. These results give the basis for further studying the characteristic of MDV in vivo and the application of the Cre/LoxP system to MDV genome.

A total of 152 strains of endophytic fungi were isolated from the barks of Eucommia ulmoides in three regions (Lueyang country, Zunyi country, Cili country). Based on morphological characteristics and analysis of ITS sequences, these strains were identified into 8 genera. Thereinto Phomopsis, Diaporthe and Alternaria were common genera to Eucommia barks from different sites. But the dominant genus was different: Alternaria was the dominant genus in the barks from Cili country, and Phomopsis was the dominant genus from Zunyi country, then Diaporthe was the one from Lueyang country. According to the similarity coefficient, the composition of the endophytic fungi was distinctly different between the barks from three sites. The diversity and species richness in Lueyang country and Cili country were found higher than those in Zunyi country. The evenness of endophytic fungi was 0.936 5 in Lueyang county, which was higher than 0.737 1 or 0.641 0 in Cili county or Zunyi county, respectively. After phylogenic analysis and calculating the genetic distances of typical strains belong to Phomopsis and its perfect stage--Diaporthe, there was very high genetic diversity in the two genera from our study. In conclusion, the community structure and diversity of endophytic fungi were significant different in Eucommia barks from the three habitats.

Anoikis is a form of apoptosis induced upon cell detachment from extracellular matrix.It has been determined that acquisition of resistance to anoikis is a critical step for tumor cell metastasis.MiR-21,the most prominent oncomiR,plays an important role in tumor progression.In this study,we revealed that up-regulation of miR-21 in human esophageal adenocarcinoma (EA) is associated with lymph node metastasis and poor survival rate.Because of the established anti-apoptosis effect of miR-21,it is tempting to speculate that miR-21 might contribute to tumor metastasis by regulating anoikis,qRT-PCR analysis demonstrated that miR-21 expression in OE33/AR cells (subpopulation of human EA OE33 cells that acquired resistance to anoikis) was significantly increased.Also,transfection of miR-21 mimics provided OE33 cells resisting to anoikis.By luciferase assays,we verified that PDCD4 and PTEN were the functional targets of miR-21.In mouse model,via tail vein injection experiment,we showed that the metastasis formation of OE33 cells in vivo could be mediated by changing the miR-21 expression pattern.Taken together,our findings suggested that miR-21 was involved in the regulation of anoikis in human EA cells.Targeting miR-21 may provide a novel strategy to prevent metastasis.

The purpose of this study is to prepare galactosyl modified lipid bilayer-coated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (GPEM) to enhance the antitumor efficacy against hepatocellular carcinoma cells. The irinotecan (CPT-11) loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) was coated with the Gal-P123 modified functional lipid bilayer by thin-film dispersion method. Nanoparticles were characterized with particle size, zeta potential, morphology and drug release in vitro. Afterwards, the cell uptake, intracellular concentration of CPT-11, cell apoptosis rate and cytotoxicity were evaluated on human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line Huh-7. The results showed that MSNs were coated with intact lipid bilayers and the nanoparticles had clear core-shell structure. GPEM is stable with the mean particle size of (78.01 +/- 2.04) nm. The low leakage rate in normal physiological conditions in vitro is contributed to the protection of stable lipid bilayer, and the fast drug release in acid environment due to the destruction of the lipid bilayer. On the cell level, the vector could improve the intracellular CPT-11 concentration by 4 times because of the functional lipid bilayer. The high CPT-11 concentration led to the increasement of apoptosis rate by 48.6%, and the reduction of half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of CPT-11 by 2 times, indicating stronger cell cytotoxicity.
