CONCLUSION: Compounds hentriantane(1) and 3,5-dihydroxy-4,7-dimethoxyflavone(5) were isolated from this plant for the first time.

Objective To preparemicroRNA-34 a loaded liposome and evaluate the targeting efficiency for lung cancer stem cells and effect on the treatment of lung cancer. Method The liposomes were prepared by thin film hydration method. The particle size,Zeta potential and entrapment efficiency were evaluated. Stability of liposome in serum was evaluated. The efficiency of cellular uptake on lung cancer stem cells in vitro was evaluated. The anti-proliferation efficiency of miLPs-34 a was evaluated by MTT assay. Tumor spheroids were used to evaluate anti-tumor ability of miLPs-34 a. Lung cancer stem cells were used to build orthotopictumor model, which were used to evaluate the effect of anti-cancer. Results The particle diameter of the miLPs-34 a was (136.55±11.4) nm with the Zeta potential of (21.45±4.55) mV. The entrapment efficiency of microRNA-34 awas 94.6%.the results demonstrated that the liposomes could keep stable in 50%serum for 24 h. miLPs-34 a uptaken by lung cancer stem cells were 3.1 times higher than that of microRNA-34 a(P<0.01). The MTT assay confirmed strong inhibitory effect of miLPs-34 a than microRNA-34 a(P<0.01). the inhibition of tumor spheroid confirmed strong inhibitory effect of miLPs-34 a than microRNA-34 a(P<0.01). The anti-tumor of miLPs-34 a was much more effectively than microRNA-34 a(P<0.01).Conclusion the microRNA-34 a loaded liposome could target to lung cancer stem cells and inhibit the proliferation of lung cancer stem cell. MiLPs-34 a, as a new nanometer drug, has a special application value for the therapy of lung cancer stem cell.

Diphtheria is an ancient disease.Since the implementation of enhanced program of immunization by WHO in 1978,the global incidence of diphtheria decreased sharply.There were no diphtheria cases reported in recent years in China,but there were still diphtheria cases and outbreak reported in surrounding countries.It is necessary to strengthen the laboratory diagnosis of diphtheria in China to prevent the recurrence and for early detection of emergent and imported diphtheria cases.Here in this review,the laboratory diagnosis of diphtheria and its progress were summarized.

Treatment of senile diseases by Chinese patent medicine should prescribe according to physiological and pathological specialty of the aged. It's necessary for treatment according to syndrome differentiation associating with the disease,reasonable combination of drugs avoiding adverse reactions,gentle medicine character but not fierce,small medicine quantity but not great, the use of Chinese patent medicine mild and tonic used properly but not excessively.

"Yongling"oral liquid composed of Cordyceps miliaris and Ganoderma lucidum was prepared by biochemical means. By comparing three different formulations,it was found that the optimum ratio between C. miliaris and G. lucidum was 7:3,which presented the entire active principles in proper proportion while retaining the original natural color and flavor.The preparation is a high protein,low fat,nontoxic oral liquid with diversified therapeutic actions and devoid of side effects

Objective To study the rule of breaking Ferula fukanensis seed dormancy under low-temperature and content changes of endo-hormone.Methods The seeds were treated with stratification under 4 ℃ and germinated under 20 ℃.The content of endo-hormone,such as Z,GA_3,IAA,and ABA,was mensurated by HPLC.Results The seed germination rate achieved as high as 14% in 20 d and more than 60% in 40 d.Among breaking the seed dormancy,the content of endo-hormone was decreased gradually,while the rate of GA_3 and ABA was increased quickly in 10—20 d under 4 ℃ stratification.ConclusionThe stratification under 4 ℃ could break the seed dormancy.The rate of GA_3 and ABA is a pivotal factor of the seed dormancy.The endo-hormones IAA and Z have the significant effect on seed germination.

Objective To study the risk factors for cognitive impaurment in obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) patients with ischemic stroke.Methods Three hundred and twenty-eight OSAHS patients with ischemic stroke were divided into cognitive impairment group (n=158) and cognitive impairment-free group (n=170) according to their MMSE score.The risk factors for their cognitive impairment were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression analysis and stratification analysis respectively.Results The blood glucose and lipid,AHI,LSaO2,infarction size and site,HIF-1 and Ngb level were significantly different between the two groups (P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that blood glucose and lipid,AHI,infarction site and Ngb level were the independent risk factors for cognitive impairment (OR=3.527,95％CI:1.559-7.983,P=0.002;OR=6.413,95 ％CI:2.766-14.865,P=0.000;OR=4.099,95％CI:1.694-9.918,P=0.002;OR=4.484,95％CI:1.950-10.310,P=0.000;OR=3.891,95 ％CI:1.759-8.606,P=0.001).Stratification analysis showed that high HIF-1 and Ngb levels were positively related with cognitive impairment in patients with AHI＞20 times/h,frontotemporal infarction,hyperglycosemia or hypoglycosemia,and dyslipidemia.Conclusion High HIF-1 and Ngb levels are independently related with cognitive impairment in OSAHS patients with ischemic stroke.

C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute phase reaction protein,which is very sensitive to the inflammatory reaction.Many studies have confirmed that CRP is closely correlated with ischemic stroke and atherosclerosis.However,studies on correlation between CRP and intracerebral hemorrhage are less.This article reviews the relationship between CRP and intracerebral hemorrhage.
