Objective To explore the differential expression genes(DEGs)and related signaling pathways of the Qi deficiency and blood stasis(QDBS)and Yin deficiency and blood stasis(YDBS)syndromes in ischemic stroke(IS)at the molecular level,elucidating the potential mechanisms and biological basis of blood stasis syndrome in IS.Methods The mRNA expression profile dataset GSE100235 of the two syndromes of IS rats was downloaded from the GEO database,and the limma package of R language was used to screen DEGs.Subsequently,GO and KEGG analyses were performed using the DAVID database.The miRDB and miRWalk databases were used to predict the miRNAs of DEGs,and aa miRNA-mRNA regulatory network was constructed.A protein-protein interaction network was built using the STRING database,and the cytoHubba plug-in was utilized to identify the core target genes.The rat model of QDBS in IS was established by exhaustive swimming training combined with modified Longa's thread embolism,and the rat model of YDBS in IS was established by hydrocortisone injection and thread embolism.RT-qPCR was employed to validate the expression levels of core target genes in rat brain tissues of the two groups.Results A total of 47 DEGs were identified.These genes were mainly involved in biological processes such as neuronal apoptosis,inflammatory response,and adaptive immune response,as well as pathways related to lipid metabolism,atherosclerosis,and C-type lectin receptor signaling.The miRNA-mRNA interaction network consisted of 64 nodes and 55 edges.Five core target genes were obtained,including Ccl2,Selp,Timp1,Ccr1l1,and Fpr1.Conclusion There are significantly differentially expressed genes in QDBS and YDBS syndrome of IS rats.These genes are involved in a variety of biological processes and pathways,and are most closely related to lipid metabolism and atherosclerosis signaling pathways.

OBJECTIVE: To study the chemical constituents of ethanol extract from Yao medicine Cissampelopsis spelaeicola. METHODS: The petroleum ether, ethyl acetate and n-butanol fraction from 75% ethanol extract of C. spelaeicola were isolated and purified by silica gel, SephadexLH-20 gel column and AB-8 macroporous resin column, etc. The structures of the compounds were analyzed and identified by physicochemical properties and spectral data (mass spectrometry, hydrogen spectrum, carbon spectrum). RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS: Twelve compounds were isolated and identified from 75% ethanol extract of C. spelaeicola. β-sitosterol(Ⅰ) and Stigmasterol(Ⅱ) were isolated from petroleum ether fraction; p-hydroxybenzoic acid(Ⅲ), β-daucossterol(Ⅳ), protocatechuic acid(Ⅴ), 6β-hydroxyeremophi-7(11)-en-12,8β-olide(Ⅵ), 10β-hydroxyeremophil-7(11)-en-8,12-olide(Ⅶ), 10β-hydroxyeremophi-7(11),8(9)-dien-8,12-olide(Ⅷ), Quercetin(Ⅸ), Hyperin(Ⅹ) and 4α-hydroxy- eudesman-11-ene(Ⅺ) were isolated from ethyl acetate fraction; quercetin-3-O-robinobioside(Ⅻ) was isolated from n-butanol fraction. Compounds Ⅰ-Ⅻ are isolated from C. spelaeicola for the first time. The study can lay material foundation for activity stady of C. spelaeicola.

Objective To evaluate the effect of ditching for drain on the control of the breed of Oncomelania hupensis snails in beaches of Dongting Lake. Methods From November,2009 to November,2012,an O. hupensis snail infested beach of the Yueyang jail and an O. hupensis snail infested beach of Junshan District were selected as research fields in the eastern Dongting Lake area,and the former,as the intervention field,was performed with the ditching for drain by excavators and the latter,as the control field,was not. Results Before the project implemented,the average soil moisture contents on the beaches in dry seasons of the two fields were both about 35.56%. After the project implemented,in the intervention field,the average soil mois?ture content was 26.53%which was significantly lower than that(35.56%)in the control field(F=6.53,P<0.05). The under?ground water levels in different heights in the intervention field were lower than those in the control field (χ2 = 33.33,P <0.05). Before the project implemented,the natural death rates of the snails were 0.98%and 0.89%in the two research fields re?spectively(P>0.05),and after the project implemented(in 2012),no adult and young snails were found in the interventional field,but in the control field,the average densities of living snails and young snails were 29.37 snails/0.1 m2 and 213±108.45 snails/0.1 m2 respectively. Conclusion The intervention of ditching for drain can decrease the soil moisture contents quickly and change the ecological condition,therefore,can control the breed of O. hupensis snails in the beaches of Dongting Lake.
