OBJECTIVE:To study in vitro bacteriostatic activity of the extracts from Miao medicine Polygonum runcinatum. METHODS:Using chloramphenicol and fluconazole as positive control,the inhibitory effects of water extract,95% ethanol extract and its ethyl acetate and n-butanol fraction on 9 kinds of strains were determined by cup plate method, such as Staphylococcus aureus,Escherichia coli,Shigella flexneri,Salmonella typhi,Bacillus subtilis,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,type B Hemolytic streptococcus,Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans. The parts with bacteriostatic activity and trial strains sensitive to drug were screened. Micro-broth dilution method and agar culture medium plate method were used to determine MIC and MBC of 95% ethanol extract and its fractions of P. runcinatum to sensitive strains. RESULTS:The water extract of P. runcinatum almost had no inhibitory effect. 95% ethanol extract showed different degrees of bacteriostatic activity to strains;bacteriostatic effects of it to 6 kinds of bacteria as S. typhi was better than that of type B H. streptococcus and 2 kinds of fungus. The ethyl acetate and n-butanol fraction of 95% ethanol extracts showed good bacteriostatic effect and the ethyl acetate fraction had stronger effect,while all the fractions of 95% ethanol extracts showed no inhibitory effect on fungus. MIC and MBC of 95%ethanol extract to above 6 kinds of bacteria were 6.25-12.5 and 12.5-25 mg/mL,respectively;MIC and MBC of ethyl acetate fraction were 3.13-6.25, 6.25-12.5 mg/mL; MIC and MBC of n-butanol fraction were 6.25-12.5, 12.5-25 mg/mL. CONCLUSIONS:95% ethanol extract,ethyl acetate and n-butanol fractions of Miao medicine P. runcinatum have obvious in vitro bacteriostatic activity to 6 common bacterias as S. typhi.

Cancer is a heterogeneous disease with complex mechanisms that requires targeted precision medicine strategies. The growth of precision medicine is indispensable from the rapid development of genomics. However, genomics has certain limitations in molecular phenotype analysis, proteogenomics thus arose at the right time. Proteogenomics is the merging of proteomics and genomics. This review describes the limitations of genomic analysis and highlights the importance of proteogenomics to re-understand precision oncology from a proteogenomic perspective. In addition, the application of proteogenomics in precision oncology is briefly introduced, the related public data projects are described, and finally, the challenges that need to be addressed at this stage are proposed.

Phyllanthi Fructus is a highly unique medicine and food homologous item, which exhibits distinctive flavor, notable nutritional value, and abundant pharmacological activity. It has enormous potential in the creation of health products and pharmaceuticals. However, due to the unique laws of quality formation and transfer of Phyllanthi Fructus, its appearance, shape, chemical compositions, nutrients, and sensory flavors are frequently greatly influenced by botanical resources, the processing and storage conditions. As a result, the current quality evaluation model is difficult to meet the needs of Phyllanthi Fructus as a medicine and food homologous item in the development of diversified products. This paper constructs the hierarchical utilization mode of Phyllanthi Fructus based on its unique quality formation and transmission laws, explores the quality evaluation model for food-oriented use and medicinal-oriented use, respectively, and systematically describes the quality evaluation idea under diversified application scenarios. This paper aims to serve as a reference for the construction of a quality evaluation model suitable for the medicine and food homologous item of Phyllanthi Fructus.
