ABSTRACT
Terpine-4-ol is abundant in nature. As a cyclic monoterpenoid compound， terpine-4-ol is distributed in a variety of natural plants. It is the main component and the key active substance in many traditional Chinese essential oils， such as Melaleuca alba essential oil and coral ginger essential oil. Terpine-4-ol has anti-microbial， anti-tumor， insecticidal， anti-inflammatory， and other effects. It can treat cancer， as well as oral and cardiovascular diseases with great safety. In terms of antibacterial activity， terpine-4-ol can destroy bacterial cell walls， improve membrane permeability， and regulate bacterial migration， reproduction， and other related genes to inhibit bacterial activity. In terms of antifungal activity， terpine-4-ol can bind with ergosterol in fungal cell walls to cause fungal death. In terms of insecticidal activity， terpine-4-ol can inhibit Na+ and K+-ATPase activity and cause the death of the insect. In terms of anticancer activity， terpine-4-ol can regulate the expression of apoptosis-related proteins in cancer cells， so as to control the apoptosis of cancer cells. In this paper， the pharmacological activity and action mechanism of terpine-4-ol were reviewed to provide a reference for further research and utilization of terpine-4-ol.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the knowledge,attitude and practice(KAP)related with AIDS of local floating population.Methods A total of 1 942 floating persons were sampled by multistage cluster sampling and interviewed with questionnaire in the agricultural markets,construction sites,and their habitats within 3 communities in Hongkou District.Results 82.9% of the interviewees were 20 ～49 years old.The average score was 34.77 ±3.52 (maximum score is 44)for knowledge,12.11 ±2.32(maximum score is 19)for attitude,5.50 ±0.95(maximum score is 7)for practice,respectively.The scores increased with educational level significantly.The scores of knowledge were 33.26 ±3.54,34.63 ±3.23,36.56 ±3.39 among the subjects with educational levels of primary school and below,junior high school,senior high school and above.The scores of attitude were 13.77 ±2.27,14.79 ±2.39,15.62 ±2.38,respectively.And the score of practice was 5.40 ±0.90,5.51 ±0.93,5.58 ±1.03,respectively.Conclusion In the present,the KAP relating AIDS of local floating population is poor in Hongkou District.A variety of intervention methods and operational patterns should be developed for the floating population with different educational levels and jobs.
