Objective:To compare the application of cloning sequencing and third-generation nanopore sequencing technology in the identification of raw materials mixed in Tibetan patent medicine Shiliujianwei powder,and to pro-vide a reference for the establishment of the specific identification method for the formulation of medicinal prepara-tions using the raw powder of medicinal herbs or herbal pieces.Methods:By investigating the different concentra-tions of ExTaq enzyme,genomic DNA,upstream and downstream primers in the PCR amplification system,the suit-able PCR amplification system of genomic DNA universal primers for self-made Tibetan medicine Shiliujianwei powder was determined.The amplified products of Shiliujianwei powder were sequenced by two methods,the first was cloned and sequenced by Sanger sequencing technology,and the second was sequenced by third generation nanopore sequen-cing technology.Results:The addition of ExTaq enzyme,upstream and downstream primers and genomic DNA in 20 μL PCR amplification system of Shiliujianwei powder and single medicinal samples were determined to be 0.4,1.5 and 1 μL,respectively.The amplification products of the DNA from self-made Shiliujianwei powder were cloned and sequenced by Sanger sequencing technology,then only the ITS2 sequence of Carthami flos was obtained.The amplified products of self-made pomegranate Jianwei powder DNA were sequenced by three-generation nanopore se-quencing technology,and the ITS2 sequences of Granati semen,Carthami flos,Piperis longi fructus and Amomi fruc-tus rotundus were finally obtained,but the ITS2 sequence of cinnamomi cortex was not obtained.Conclusion:Both cloning sequencing and the third generation nanopore sequencing could solve the problem of overlapping peaks in the direct sanger sequencing for the universal primer amplification products of patent drugs.The third generation nano-pore sequencing was better than cloning sequencing in the sequencing of the universal primer amplification products of patent drugs,but there were still one raw material medicine that have not been detected.It is of certain reference val-ue for the molecular biological identification and DNA barcoding study of different raw materials in the patent medi-cine to establish the specific identification method of Tibetan patent medicine Shiliujianwei powder.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the accumulation law of saponins during growth in Paris polyphylla Smith var. chinensis (Franch.) Hara, determine the content of the main saponins in different cultivation years, age groups, cultivation modes and provenances. METHODS The content of 5 kinds saponins(I, II, VI, VII, H) was simultaneous determined by HPLC. RESULTS The total saponins in P. polyphylla Smith var. chinensis (Franch.) Hara were mainly composed of saponin VII and H, supplemented by saponin VI, I and II. The content of saponins(I, II, VII) was significantly different among different cultivation years rhizome, while it reached the standard of Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 Edition after 6 years old, 8-year-old rhizome was the highest. The saponins(I, II, VII) content in 4a rhizome and 5a rhizome was significant higher than others, and it ranged from 0.354% to 0.765% in different cultivation modes, from high to low as follows: coniferous forest>bamboo forest>broadleaf forest>greenhouse. In different provenances, it ranged from 0.592% to 0.741%, reached the highest level in Qingyuan Baikan, and was slightly lower than the standard of Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 Edition in Sanming Fujian. CONCLUSION There are remarkable correlations among saponins accumulation amounts and cultivation years, age groups, cultivation modes and provenances, which can provide reference for the artificial culvication of P. polyphylla Smith var. chinensis (Franch.) Hara.

Objective:To explore the effect and mechanism of miRNA sponge on the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of gastric carcinoma cell lines SGC7901. Methods:Synthetic ZEB2 3'UTR plasmid and siRNA targeting ZEB2 were transfected into the SGC7901 cell line by Lipofectamine 2000. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed to evaluate the expres-sion levels of miR-200a/b/c. Finally, the migratory, invasive, and proliferative activities of the gastric carcinoma cells in vitro were ana-lyzed by the scratch test, the Transwell cell invasion, and the cell cloning assay. The expression of the target protein was detected by Western blot. Results:Compared with the control group, the expressions of miR-200a/b/c significantly decreased, and their migration, invasion, and proliferation capabilities were considerably higher after they were transfected with ZEB2 3'UTR. Although the expres-sions of miR-200a/b/c significantly increased, the migratory, invasive, and proliferative activities of SGC7901 cells also degraded after they were transfected with siRNA targeting ZEB2. The expression of ZEB2 increased, and that of E-cadherin decreased at the protein level after they were transfected with ZEB2 3'UTR. The protein expression of Vimentin in SGC7901 cells significantly increased. The indicators show the opposite trend when cells were transfected with siZEB2, and the differences between the control and mutation groups were insignificant. Conclusion:ZEB2 3'UTR can regulate EMT course by regulating the miR-200a/b/c expression in gastric car-cinoma, consequently regulating the invasion and migration of carcinoma cells.

Objective To explore the effects of zinc finger E-box binding protein (ZEB)2 3′UTR gene transfection on proliferation, invasion and migration in human gastric epithelial cell line GES-1. Methods The synthetic ZEB2 3′UTR and miR-200b micmics were transfected into GES-1 cell line by lipofectamine 2000. We set up control grop, the mutation group and ZEB2 3′UTR group. Real-time quantitative PCR was performed to evaluate the expression levels of miR-200a/b/c and ZEB1/ZEB2 mRNAs after transfection.And then we set up control group, ZEB2 3′UTR group, ZEB2 3′UTR+negative control group and ZEB2 3′UTR+miR-200b micmics group. The protein expression levels of ZEB1, ZEB2, matrix metallopro-teinases (MMP) 2/9 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) were detected by Western blot assay. The invasion and mi-gration capability were analyzed by transwell assay and wound healing test. MTT assay was used to detect the proliferation ability. Results Compared with control group and mutation group, the expressions of miR-200a/b/c were significantly de-creased, especially for miR-200b. And the expressions of ZEB1/ZEB2 were significantly increased at both mRNA and pro-tein levels after transfected with the ZEB2 3′UTR, enhancing the capability of migration,invasion,and proliferation (P <0.05). Compared with ZEB2 3′UTR group, the capabilities of proliferation,invasion and migration were significantly lower in combined group. Conclusion ZEB2 3′UTR can increase the ability of cell proliferation, invasion and metastasis through regulating the levels of miR-200a/b/c, and then influence the regulation of transcription of the target gene, which could lead to malignant transformation of GES-1 cells.

Objective To survey the prevalence of greenhouse farmer's lung and related risk factors in part of rural areas of Liaoning Province.Methods Using uniform scheme,procedures and questionnaire,a survey for 5420 farmers(2660 men and 2760 women)with complete data who work inside greenhouses was performed in Shenyang,Xinmin,Chaoyang,and Jinzhou between August 2006 and June 2009.Pulmonary function tests was performed for every active farmer.Results Greenhouse farmer's lung was diagnosed in 308 cases,205 men(66.55%,205/308)and 103 women(33.44%,103/308),a prevalence of 5.7%(308/5420).The prevalence rate of greenhouse farmer's lung in males was significantly higher than that in females(?2=39.93,P0.05).In the 308 cases,the number of patiernts presented with fever chill,cough/sputum,chest tightness/shortness of breath were 180(58.44%),192(62.34%),160(51.95%)respectively,and the number of crepitations,radiological changes,spirometry abnormalities and serum IgE antibodies(+)was 164(53.25%),153(49.68%),147(47.73%)and 136(44.16%)at the time of the study.62.34%(192/308)of patients with greenhouse farmer's lung were mild and 38.66%(116/308)were severe.Conclusion The total prevalence rate of greenhouse farmer's lung in part of rural areas of Liaoning Province was 5.7% and multiple risk factors were associated with the disease.
