ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the application of mtDNA COI genes in common sarcosaphagous flies species identification. Methods 30 sarcosaphagous fly samples were indentified by morphological method which collected in different regions belonging to 2 families, 4 genera and 6 species. MtDNA was extracted for the PCR amplification reaction in COI gene. The PCR products were purified through agar gel electrophoresis and sequenced. Sequences of 498 bp in COI gene were disposed by multiple-alignment software of DNAMAN. Sequences divergence of 498 bp between and within species of COI gene were processed by software of MEGA. Results It was showed that there is a certain sequence differences between the 30 samples from 6 species. The intraspecific and interspecific divergence of sequence variation ranged from 0.1% to 1.6% and 2.2% to 11.2% respectively. All the species can be identified successfully by this method. Conclusion Species identification of sarcosaphagous flies can be conducted by sequence analysis and phylogenetic tree of COI gene. This method can be effectively used in fast and accurate identification in forensic entomology.
ABSTRACT
This study was aimed to analyze the cold and heat nature of Chinese herbal medicine as well as its relation with the major constituent part in order to illustrate the scientific connotation of the cold and heat nature of Chinese herbal medicine from the level of material basis.There were a total of 334 kinds of Chinese herbal medicine with 280 effective ingredients recorded in the first volume of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia.The molecular descriptors of each ingredient (including one-dimensional,two-dimensional,three-dimensional,and semi-empirical calculated molecular descriptors) were calculated.The generalized rule induction (GRI) algorithm was used to mine molecular descriptors with strong correlation to the cold or heat nature of the screened Chinese herbal medicine.The results showed that molecular descriptors of molecular energy state of main components had close relationship with the nature properties of herbs.Compounds with high-energy condition were most from herbs with heat nature;while compounds with low-energy condition were most from herbs with cold nature.In addition to the energy condition of the molecule,topological molecular water partition coefficient,lipid drug property but also the main component of the polar surface area,carbon,hydrogen,oxygen atoms,the number of hydrogen bond donors and other molecular structure descriptors had certain association relationships.It was concluded that the nature of Chinese herbal medicine had certain association relationships with its main ingredients.Among them,the most important molecular descriptors of molecular energy are three-dimensional molecular descriptors.It suggested that the comprehensive effect of Chinese herbal medicine may be relevant to the energy condition of the molecule in main active components of Chinese herbal medicine and the effect on the energy metabolism of the body.

Using two classification logistic Stepwise regression analysis, establish the regression equation of the index and multiple regression equation of multinomial index, and the test of the equation was carried on blind test. Results Accuracy of 13 equations of the established element is 69.0%~90.4%,accuracy of 4 multiple regression equation is 90.4%~96.7%, blind accuracy rate is 100%. Conclusion 13 feature indicators selected from CT tablets can be used for the same identiifcation, in practice researchers should use multivariate index to get more accurate result.
ABSTRACT
There were many factors that affect the chimerism of donor DNA, such as the type of disease, the treatment of the disease, the severity of the disease, the source of hematopoietic stem cells, HLA, GVHD, and so on. This paper mainly discussed the two factors that affect forensic science, including the posttransplantation intervals and sensitivity of the detection method. Forensic workers in forensic practice and paternity and individual identification of allo HSCT recipients, should pay attention to the time after transplantation and the detection method of sensitivity of chimerism. When female recipients received HSCT in the case of male donors, Y chromosome DNA of the donor can be detected from the recipient's hair follicles. The case of biological specimens from the crime scene can not only detect Y chromosome speciifc genetic markers, so as to avoid wrong identiifcation.
ABSTRACT
Marine Chinese Medicine (MCM) is one of the important part of the traditional Chinese medicine.The exploration of marine organism resources provide a good base for the development of MCM.However,the evaluation for the nature of the new source of MCM becomes one of the key problem of the clinic application of MCM.In this study,613 MCM and their related 1 091 species of marine organisms were screened.Association Rules Mining method and Phylogenetic Tree constructing method were used to find out the association relationship and the distribution regularity of the MCM with different nature in the Phylogenetic Tree.The results showed high collection of the MCM with the same nature on the tree.The MCM from the organisms in the same family might have the same nature.And the association rules for the same nature assembled at the same branch or near branch of the tree.For example,the marine plantae,Chlorophyta,Florideophyceae,and Phaeohpyceae,were related with cold nature,while the marine animalia,including Decapoda,Malacostraca,and Arthropoda,had close relationship with hot nature.Moreover,the neutral nature was related with Squamata.These results implied that there were close relationship between the nature and the affinity relationship.The MCM from the same or close families may have the same or likely nature.This study provided a new index and reference for prediction and evaluation of the nature of new MCM.
ABSTRACT
This study was aimed to analyze the research status of marine medicine in China. The research hot issues and feature rules were summarized in order to discuss development trends for the clinic application and further development of marine medicine in recent 20 years. The CNKI library was used as a source to retrieve literatures on marine medicine. The bibliometric methods and Cytoscape 3.1.1 were used to analyze. The results showed that 582 papers were included. A total of 260 papers were published during 2010 to 2014. And 52 papers were published annually. 266 papers in this field were funded. The papers were mostly published in theChinese Journal of Marine Drugs. A total of 278 research institutes were engaged in the research. And the institute published the most paper was the Ocean University of China. There were 12 researchers who had published more than 5 articles. This study focused on the keywords with highly frequency, which were marine drugs, chemical composition, marine natural products, fingerprints and antitumor. It was concluded that marine medicine had become hot issues. The core of the group has been formed. However, most researches had focused on natural products and pharmacological aspects. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory had not been taken seriously and the infrastructure was weak, which obstructed the clinical application of marine medicine. We should expand the discovery and study of knowledge on ancient herbal literature as well as clinic application of marine medicine in order to build the knowledge database of marine medicine and experience mode of clinic application.

ABSTRACT
Objective To study the compatibility of TCM prescriptions of TCM practitioners of all dynasties of Alzheimer disease (AD). Methods Amnesia, forgetting, dementia, and idiot were set as search words to retrieve relevant literature in Encyclopadia of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Prescription information was screened and standardized to build database. Frequency analysis and association rules were used to mine TCM prescriptions and compatibility rules. Results Totally 449 AD related prescriptions were selected, involving 682 Chinese medicinal herbs. The individual herb with the highest frequency was Ginseng Radix Rhizoma (192);the herbal pair with the highest frequency was Ginseng Radix Rhizoma-Polyhalae Radix (182);the herbal combination with 3 Chinese medicinal herbs with the highest frequency was Poria with Hostwood-Ginseng Radix Rhizoma-Polyhalae Radix (79);the herbal combination with 4 Chinese medicinal herbs with the highest frequency was Polyhalae Radix-Ginseng Radix Rhizoma-Poria with Hostwood-Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (37). The results of association rules showed that Ginseng Radix Rhizoma-Polyhalae Radix, Ginseng Radix Rhizoma-Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, and Ginseng Radix Rhizoma-Poria with Hostwood were commonly used compatibilities in AD related prescriptions. Conclusion Treatment of TCM practitioners in all dynasties for AD mainly chooses Chinese medicinal herbs with the efficacy of tonifying qi and soothing nerves. The compatibilities and combinations are reasonable and with certain representativeness.
ABSTRACT
Experience mode of marine medicine (EMMM) is the summary of experiences on marine medicine con-cluded by ancient doctors for thousands of years. The mining of EMMM is very important for the clinic application and development of marine medicine. However, these experiences are very difficult to discover for they are all scat-tered in the large number of ancient documents. We proposed that the EMMM can be built by the procedure of in-formation of ancient documents, text-mining of ancient documents, and associate network of informatics unit of ma-rine medicine by non-interactive literature-based knowledge discovery methods, and expert evaluation at the end, so as to provide database for the clinic application and further development of marine medicine.
