Object To establish a high efficient and reliable method for extraction and analysis of the diterpenoids in Pteris semipinnata L. Methods Supercritical CO 2 fluid modified with alcohol was used to extract the diterpenoids in P. semipinnata, the extracting conditions were optimized by orthogonal design method, and the modifying solvent was investigated through total ions chromatograghy normalization. A quadrupole mass spectrometer coupled with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization interface was employed as a detector for HPLC, the -1 ion was used as selective ion for the detecting of ent 11 ? hydroxy 15 oxo kaur 16 en 19 olic acid (5F) in selective ion monitoring (SIM) mode. The peak area of SIM and tolal ion chromatogram (TIC) were used for quantitative determination. As an example of its application, this method was used to determinate the content of 5F as antitumor diterpenoids in P. semipinnata. Results The optimized conditions for supercritical CO 2 fluid extraction are 25 MPa, 60 ℃, 15% methanol, flow rate 3 0 mL/min; analytical column was Diamonsil ODS (150 mm?4 6 mm, 5 ?m); the mobile phase of HPLC was CH 3CN 2 mmol/L NH 4AC (35∶65), flow rate 1 0 mL/min, injection volume 5 ?L; the standard curve showed good linearity over the range of 0 05-2 5 ?g; the limit of detection is 0 4 ng; the recovery is 97 8% (n=3). Conclusion This method is highly efficient, sensitive, and selective, which can be applied to study the antitumor drug of diterpenoids in P. semipinnata and to establish the drug standard.

BACKGROUND: There are plenty of studies of estrogen effects on mammalian osteoblast, but the studies of estrogen effects on bird osteoblast cannot be found. There are many reports about the side effects of letrozole on bone metabolism, but there are no reports about the effect of letrozole on osteoblast.OBJECTIVE: The effects of estrogen and letrozole on the proliferation, cell cycle, estrogen receptor mRNA expression and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of chicken osteoblast in vitro were studied in order to illustrate the mechanism of medullary bone osteogenesis.METHODS: The osteoblasts were harvested from the frontal bone of 15-day SPF chicken embryos by the enzyme digestion, and treated with various mass concentrations of estrogen (0, 5, 10, 20, 100. 200, 400,800, 2 000, 20 000 ng/L) and letrozole (0, 5.10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1 000, 5 000 μg/L). The proliferation rates of the osteoblast treated with estrogen or letrozole were measured through the MTT method, The ALP activities of osteoblast were measured by the pNPP method. The cell cycle was measured by flow cytometry. The expression of estrogen receptor mRNA was detected using real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR).RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The estrogen could promote proliferation of osteoblast in concentration- and time-dependent fashion. Estrogen could increase the expression of estrogen receptor mRNA, impulse cell cycle, and elevate ALP activities.Letrozole could increase the cell population, impulse cell cycle, inhibit estrogen receptor mRNA expression, but letrozole has no effects on ALP synthesis and secretion.

The legitimate rights of mental health workers don't get expected protection,which has caused negative influence on the development of mental health work.By introducing the Gantt v.Arnie Sethcase,we an-alyzed the law applicable disputes of doctors who are hurt by the patients with mental disorders,and made legal e-valuation on the views of relevant responsibility identification at home and abroad,and attempted to come up with some suggestions on construction of legitimate interest safeguard mechanism for mental-health workers from the as-pects of legislation and administrative policy.

AIM To find a new method for purifying the active compound 5F isolated from Pteris semipinnata L.(PsL ) and observe its enhanced cytotoxicity when combined with other antitumor agents. METHODS Silica gel combined with AgNO 3 was made to purify 5F. Cytotoxicity was detected with trypan blue dye exclusion assay. RESULTS After purification, the concentration of compound 5F in purified products was higher than 99%. The inhibitory rates of 5F combined with 5 Fu or CDDP or VCR were higher than that of these drugs used alone. CONCLUSIONS Compound 5F could be purified effectively using silica gel combined with AgNO 3. 5F could enhance the cytotoxicity on HL 60 and K562 cells of the drugs mentioned above. The different effect of these agents on the various phases of cell cycle kinetics may explain the enhanced effect of 5F.
