Objective To explore molecular mechanism and the curative effect of Yisuishengxue powder and its function of the hepersensitive site 2 (HS2) in ?-globin gene cluster locus control region binding with nucleoprotein.Methods After 3 months treatment of Yisuishengxue powder, nucleoprotein was extracted from the morrow cell before and after treatment. The HS2 DNA probes was combined with nucleoproteins.Electrophoresis gel mobile lag was utilized for observing the mobile velocity of DNA segment.Observe the mobile velocity of DNA probes.Results The mobile velocity of probes combined with nucleoproteins before treatment was different form that of the controls, while it was very close to the controls after treatment.Conclusions It is suggested that this compounding medicine might affect the DNA segment of HS2 site in ?-LCR binding with nucleoprotein GATA-1, which may be one molecular mechanism of Chinese herb therapy.

Objective To investigate the expression of miR-141 and miR-224 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its clinical significance.Methods The levels of serum miR-141,miR-224 and squamous cell carcinoma associated antigen (SCC-Ag) were detected by RT-PCR in 128 patients with NSCLC,60 patients with benign lesions (benign group) and 60 healthy subjects (control group).To analyze the relationship between the expression levels of miR-141 and miR-224 and the clinicopathological features of NSCLC.The sensitivity and specificity of miR-141,miR-224 and SCC-Ag in the diagnosis of NSCLC were evaluated by ROC curve,and the correlation between serum miR-141 and miR-224,SCC-Ag were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis in NSCLC patients.Results The levels of serum miR-141,miR-224 and SCC-Ag in NSCLC group were significantly higher than those in the benign group and the control group[miR-141(2-△△Ct):2.56±0.48 vs 1.08±0.24 and 1.02±0.21,miR-224 (2-△△Ct):3.94±0.82 vs 1.42±0.35 and 1.26±0.30,SCC-Ag (ng/ml):2.75±1.36 vs 0.64±0.47 and 0.52±0.24,all P<0.01].In patients with NSCLC,the levels of serum miR-141 and miR-224 were correlated with pathological stage,pathological grade and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the optimal cut-off values of serum miR-141,miR 224 and SCC Ag (ng/ml) for diagnosis of NSCLC were 1.84,2.85 and 2.03,respectively.The AUC (0.913) of the three combined diagnosis of NSCLC was the largest,and the sensitivity and specificity were better,with 92.5 % and 82.7 %,respectively.Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum miR-141 were positively corre lated with miR-224 and SCC-Ag (r=0.782,0.594,all P<0.01),and serum miR 224 was positively correlated with SCC-Ag (r=0.594,P<0.01).Conclusion Serum miR-141 and miR-224 are up-regulated in patients with NSCLC and are associated with clinicopathological features,and may be a new biomarker for the diagnosis of NSCLC.

In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview on the registration of proprietary Chinese medicines (PCMs) in China over the past century by examining published literature and historical data. We will examine this evolving administrative practice for PCMs registration in China, which is divided to the following five stages: (1) initial measures (1915-1948); (2) early development (1949-1965); (3) provincial approval and trial implementation of the "approval number" system (1966-1984); (4) legislation and cleanup (1985-1999); and (5) centralized national approval (2000 until now), offering a panoramic view on the characteristics of PCMs registration management in China.
