Objective To investigate the effect of arbutin(Arb)on osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells(hPDLSCs)under inflammatory conditions and the mechanism of NF-κB signaling pathway in this process.Methods The effects of Arb on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs were analyzed by CCK-8,alkaline phosphatase staining,Alizarin Red staining,and Western blot.After establishing an inflammatory model using lipopolysaccharide(LPS),the effect of Arb on the ex-pression levels of inflammatory factors in hPDLSCs was analyzed by RT-qPCR.The effect of Arb on osteogenic differentiation of hP-DLSCs was analyzed,and the effect of Arb on the NF-κB pathway was analyzed by Western blot.After adding the NF-κB signaling pathway activator PMA to the culture system,whether the effect of Arb on hPDLSCs changed was analyzed.Results 100 nmol/L Arb did not affect the proliferation of hPDLSCs,but significantly promoted cell osteogenic differentiation and inhibited the expression of in-flammatory factors under LPS stimulation.Arb reduced the activation effect of LPS on the NF-κB signaling pathway and the inhibitory effect on cell osteogenic differentiation,while the efficacy of Arb was partially eliminated by PMA.Conclusion Arb alleviates the in-hibitory effect of LPS on osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs by inhibiting NF-κB signaling.

ObjectiveTo analyze and predict the potential quality markers （Q-Marker） in the Genuine medicinal materials Jiangxi Aurantii Fructus based on fingerprints and network pharmacology. MethodUltra-high performance liquid chromatography （UPLC） and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry （GC-MS） fingerprints were established for 18 batches of Jiangxi Aurantii Fructus ，combined with chemometric methods to screen out candidate Q-Marker components.Use network pharmacology to construct a "core component-target-pathway" network to predict the Q-Marker and core targets of Jiangxi Aurantii Fructus，and then verify the biological activity of Jiangxi Aurantii Fructus Q-Marker by molecular docking method. ResultThe 18 batches of Jiangxi Aurantii Fructus use UPLC，GC-MS fingerprints combined with chemometric analysis，a total of 9 Q-Marker candidate components were screened out.Through network pharmacological analysis，it is predicted that nobiletin，neohesperidin，meranzin，naringin and D-limonene are the Q-Marker of Jiangxi Aurantii Fructus，acting on the core targets transforming protein p21/H-Ras-1（HRAS），cellular tumor antigen p53 （TP53），mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 （MAPK8），transcription factor AP-1（JUN），glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta（GSK3B），tumor necrosis factor（TNF），cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1（CDKN1A），cAMP-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit alpha（PRKACA），cysteine aspartate-specific protease-9（Caspase-9），cyclic AMP-responsive element-binding protein 1（CREB1），exerting gastrointestinal motility and antidepressant，anti-inflammatory，anti-tumor，etc.； molecular docking shows that nobiletin，neohesperidin，meranzin，naringin and D-limonene and the selected 10 core targets have good binding ability，reflecting the better biological activity of the Q-Marker of Jiangxi Aurantii Fructus. ConclusionThe Q-Marker of Jiangxi Aurantii Fructus can be comprehensively predicted from the two aspects of volatile and non-volatile components，providing a reference for the quality control of Jiangxi Aurantii Fructus and the further study of its pharmacodynamic mechanism.

Objective: To investigate the distribution patterns of arboviruses in Yunnan province near the China-Laos-Myanmar border, China, and to provide evidence for prevention and control of arboviruses diseases. Methods: Mosquito samples were collected in Daluo county of Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture and Zhengdong county of Pu’er city in Yunnan province, 2012. Viruses were isolated from the samples by tissue culture, positive isolates were identified by RT-PCR with arbovirus species-specific primers, for further sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. Results: A total of 17 species of mosquitoes from 6 genera were collected. A total of 24 strains of viruses were isolated from the mosquito pools and identified as Tembusu virus (TMUV) (2 strains), Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) (3 strains), Getah virus (GETV) (2 strains), Banna virus (BAV) (4 strains), Densovirus (DNV) (9 strains) and Nam Dinh virus (NDiV) (3 strains). Conclusions The China-Laos-Myanmar border of Yunnan province is rich in species of mosquitoes and arboviruses.
