ObjectiveThe type 2C protein phosphatases (PP2C) are involved in numerous plant signal transduction pathways. They mainly participate in plant stress response and regulate second metabolites biosynthesis via negatively regulating MAPK signaling pathway. Herein,we were to identify and analyze PP2C (CsPP2C) gene family from hemp genome,in hope of providing comprehensive insights for studying CsPP2C function during the development of hemp. MethodMolecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis (MAGA)-X was used to construct phylogenetic tree. Expert Protein Analysis System (ExPASy),WoLF PSORT,Multiple EM for Motif Elicitation (MEME),Batch Conserved Domain Search (Batch-CD-Search),PlantCare,and TBtools were used,respectively,to predict CsPP2C physicochemical properties,subcellular localization,conserved motifs,protein structure,cis-element in promoter and collinearity with Arabidopsis PP2C. Cannabis sativa transcriptome and Real-time polymerase chain reaction(Real-time PCR) were used to analyze and verify gene expressions,respectively. ResultFifty-two CsPP2C with conserved domains were identified from the entire genome of hemp,encoding proteins ranging from 244 to 1 089 aa in length and with molecular weights ranging from 26.76 to 122.53 kDa. Those genes were mainly distributed in the nucleus,cytoplasm and chloroplast. The 47 CsPP2C were divided into 10 subfamilies,and the remaining 5 were not clustered. Seven pairs of homologous genes between hemp and Arabidopsis thaliana were identified according to collinear analysis. The light-responsive elements and abscisic acid elements are most abundant in the prediction. The gene expression heat map showed varied expression pattern of CsPP2C in different tissues. Real-time PCR results of three CsPP2C were consistent with transcriptome data. Moreover,alternative splicing analysis showed that some CsPP2C had alternative-splicing genes during evolution. ConclusionWe predicted and analyzed CsPP2C gene family in genomic scale and showed that CsPP2C are involved in many biological processes,whereby provides foundation for CsPP2C functional study.

OBJECTIVE:To i nvestigate the spectrum-effect relationship of analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of ethyl acetate extract from Zhuang medicine Stahlianthus involucratus from different habitats. METHODS :Ten batches of S. involucratus from different habitats were used as samples to investigate the anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities of ethyl acetate extracts by xylene induced ear swelling test and acetic acid induced writhing test in mice. HPLC fingerprints of 10 batches of ethyl acetate extract from S. involucratus were established and their similarity was evaluated by using Similarity Evaluation System of TCM Chromatogram Fingerprint (2012 edition),and the common peaks were identified by comparison with the control. The spectrum-effect relationship of anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of ethyl acetate extract from S. involucratus were analyzed on the basis of Pearson correlation coefficient (auricle swelling degree and writhing times in 15 min as pharmacodynamic indexes )and Grey relational analysis (inhibition rate of ear swelling and analgesic rate as pharmacodynamic indexes ). RESULTS : batches of ethyl acetate extract from S. involucratus had obvious anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects ; inhibition rates of ear swelling in mice were 46.43%-55.16%,and the analgesic rates of mice were 45.56%-52.72%. A total of 18 common peaks were identified in 10 batches of samples ,andthe similarity between them and the control fingerprint was 0.994-0.997. Compared with substance control ,the pea ks 1,2 and 4 were identified as protocatechuic acid , p-hydroxy- 0771-4953513。E-mail:liangjie1101@126.com benzoic acid and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde,respectively. Results of Pearson correlation analysis showed that peak 10 and peak 18 were significantly negative correlated with auricle swelling degree and writhing times in 15 min(r were values -0.853,-0.738,P values were 0.002,0.015,respectively). Results of Gray correlation degree analysis showed that the correlation degree of 18 common peaks with inhibition rate of ear swelling and analgesic rate were all greater than 0.65;among them ,peaks 14,1(protocatechuic acid ),17,9,4(p-hydroxybenzaldehyde),2(p-hydroxybenzoic acid ), 16,7 and 6 showed the relatively high correlation degree (correlation degree >0.7);peak 1(protocatechuic acid ),17,14,9,16,2 (p-hydroxybenzoic acid )and 4(p-hydroxybenzaldehyde)showed the relatively high correlation degree (correlation degree >0.7). CONCLUSIONS:The ethyl acetate extract of S. involucratus show good anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Peak 1 (protocatechuic acid ),2(p-hydroxybenzoic acid ),10,14,17,18 may be its main active ingredients.

Objective:To investigate the improvement and clinical effect of lip depilation with 810 nm semiconductor laser.Methods:Retrospective analysis was performed on female labial hair removal patients admitted to Bethune Hospital in Shanxi from January 2017 to October 2018. The patients who visited the clinic from January 2018 to October 2018 were taken as the experimental group, and those who visited the clinic from January 2017 to December 2017 were taken as the control group. A combination model of super hair removal(SHR) + hair removal(HR) was adopted to perform the treatment with 810 nm YfTON semiconductor freezing point laser hair removal. The experimental group was treated with surface anesthetic and SHR mode dumbbell sliding mode 8 J/cm 2+ HR mode with high energy (starting from the upper limit of reference energy value), and the patients were treated with local drum and chin coordination. In the control group, no surface anesthetic was applied, and SHR mode was used for linear round-trip sliding + HR mode for reference energy treatment. After the third and fifth treatment, the patients in the two groups were treated with a hair size of 1 cm×1 cm on one side of the mouth corner with heavy hair. A hair analyzer was used to count the number of similar hairs visible to the naked eye at a social distance of about 1 meter. The final hair removal rate was calculated as excellent (70%-90%, including 70%), as improvement (40%-70%, including 40%), as invalid (<40%). The depilation rate after 3 and 5 treatments was compared between the 2 groups, the number of treatments was analyzed, and the recurrence rate and comfort level of the patients were followed up 6 months after treatment. Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to compare the measurement data. Comparison of counting data was tested, and P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:A total of 200 patients were included in this study, including 100 in the experimental group, with an age of (28.58±6.01) years. The control group included 100 patients (28.57±6.07) years old. The skin type of patients was performed according to Fitzpatrick and Chinese characteristics Ⅱ-Ⅳ. After statistical test, there were no statistically significant differences in age and skin type between the two groups. After half a year of follow-up, the average number of treatment times in the experimental group was 5(5, 6) times, lower than that in the control group 7(6, 8) times( T=-9.279, P<0.001). The three and five depilation rates of the experimental group were[70.0%(68.0%, 74.8%), 86.0%(83.0%, 88.0%)], and the final depilation rates of the experimental group were 89.0%(86.7%, 90.0%), all higher than those in the control group[40.0%(37.0%, 42.0%), 72.0%(70.0%, 74.0%), 86.5%(85.0%, 88.0%)]. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( T3=43.986, T5=25.151, Tfinal=5.547, all P< 0.001). The intermittent times of single sliding treatment in the experimental group ≤2 times, compared with the control group > 2 times, the comfort level was improved. No blisters or coloration occurred in any of the patients. Patients in the 2 groups were followed up for half a year after the last hair removal. In the 2 groups, there were sparse new fine hairs and soft hair growth that were not included in the hair count, and the included hairs were thinner than those before the treatment. Conclusions:Compared with the control group, the treatment cycle is shorter, the efficiency is higher and the comfort level of the patients is higher in the experimental group.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the long-term clinical outcomes of fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided versus intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for intermediate coronary lesions.
METHODSA total of 226 patients with 293 intermediate coronary artery lesions (stenosis of 40%-70%) confirmed by coronary angiography were randomized into 3 groups to undergo PCI for a minimal lumen cross sectional area (MLA)<4 mm(2) (IVUS group, 98 lesions) or for a FFR<0.80 (FFR group, 101 lesions), or to receive standard medical treatment (medication group, 94 lesions). The primary outcome was major adverse cardiac events including death, myocardial infarction, and ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization at 1 year after the index procedure.
RESULTSThe baseline percent diameter stenosis and lesion length were similar between the 3 groups, but more patients in IVUS group than in FFR group received PCI (P<0.001). No significant difference was found in the incidence of major adverse cardiac events between the 3 groups (P=0.182).
CONCLUSIONBoth FFR- and IVUS-guided PCI strategy for intermediate coronary artery disease are associated with favorable outcomes, but IVUS-guided PCI based on the single index of MLA can increase the rate of revascularization therapy.
