ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To understand the current situation and existing problems of Blumea balsamifera industry in China ， and to provide reference for its sustainable development . METHODS ：With the keywords of “B. balsamifera ”“Ai Pian ”“Ai Fen ”， etc.，through the patent platform of SooPat and Baiten ，the patent data of B. balsamifera that had been published from Jan. 1989 to Dec. 2019 were collected. The International Patent Classification （IPC）was used to sort out and count the patent information of B. balsamifera，to understand the development status of B. balsamifera industry in technology and research field ，to analyze the existing problems and to explore the development trend of B. balsamifera industry in China so as to put forward corresponding suggestions. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS：A total of 690 patents related to B. balsamifera were collected ，mainly invention patents，of which the authorization rate was 27.39％，the effective rate was 17.97％，and the failure rate was 55.22％. Top 10 applicants with the largest number of applications had a total of 165 applications，accounting for 23.91％ of the total number of applications. Top 10 applicants were 4 enterprises，3 natural persons and 3 colleges and universities. The patents of B. balsamifera were mainly distributed in Guizhou ，Shandong，Anhui，Guangdong，Guangxi and Hainan ，accounting for 81.01％ of the total patent applications of B. balsamifera . The patent technology field of B. balsamifera had expanded from traditional Chinese medicine to daily chemical products ，health care and physiotherapy and other daily consumer good fields. From the perspective of patent intensity，the number and quality of patent applications were not coordinated ，and there were many meaningless patent applications，and the conversion rate was low. It is suggested that China should strengthen the research on B. balsamifera and its more compatible medicinal materials ，promote the innovation ，development，transformation and upgrading of B. balsamifera industry；strengthen the systematic and in-depth research on B. balsamifera，improve the quality and conversion rate of patent xiexiaoli13@126.com technology，and revitalize the development of B. balsamifera industry； expand multi-party cooperation ， strengthen the E-mail：fulai.yu@163.com research on patent core technology ，build the strategic alliance of intellectual property rights of B. balsamifera industry，and realize the high quality development of B. balsamifera industry.
ABSTRACT
Endophytic fungus is an important treasure trove for discovery of structurally unusual and biologically diverse compounds. A phytochemical investigation on a fungus Clonostachys rosea inhabits inner tissue of Blumea balsamifera (L.) DC. was initiatedrecently in our lab. Six pure compounds were isolated through silica gel column chromatography, sephadex LH-20, and semi-preparative HPLC techniques, with bio-guided strategy. Their structures were characterized as verticillin A (1), (S)-(+)-fusarinolic acid (2), 8-hydroxyfusaric acid (3), cerebroside C (4), 3-Maleimide-5-oxime (5), and bionectriol A (6) by analyses of NMR and MS data. All compounds were tested in vitro antibacterial activities against four strains of bacteria, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and results revealed that 1, 4 and 6 display notableinhibition againstthree bacteria, with MIC values ranging from 2 to 16 μg/mL. Our findings provide references for mining novel antibiotics from endophytes originated from Li Minority medicinal plant B. balsamifera (L.) DC.
ABSTRACT
Blumea balsamifera resource is an important material foundation for the breeding,quality identification,genetic research,biotechnology research and agricultural production.It is also the material basis for sustainable development of Blumea balsamifera.In this paper,we reviewed the related research on Blumea balsamifera resources in China,and discussed existing problems of Blumea balsamifera resources,and put forward some suggestions on key research direction in the future,for peer reference and discussion in use and further study promotion of Blumea balsamifera resources.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To investigate the psychological status and mood disorders of the caregivers of patients with Alzheimer disease (AD).Methods Seventy-five caregivers mainly caregiving AD patients and sixty-five caregivers mainly caregiving non-AD patients were asked and assessed with Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA).Results The total scores, average scores, positive items, average scores of positive items, physical symptoms, obsession, interpersonal relation, depression, anxiety and hostility on SCL-90 of the caregivers caregiving AD patients were significantly higher than those caregiving non-AD patients ( P<0.05～0.01). The scores of HAMD and HAMA of caregivers caregiving AD patients were significantly higher than those caregiving non-AD patients ( P<0.01).Conclusion The mental health status of caregivers of AD patients is significantly lower than those of non-AD patients, and depression and anxiety are main mood disorders.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To investigate the causes of death between the old and the no-old inpatients with psychosis.Methods 203 patients died during 2002～2006 in our hospital were divided into the old group(≥60 years old,112 cases) and non-old group(<60 years old,91 case) according to the age of death,and analyzed.Results The old group suffered from organic psychosis mostly,and physical disease and sudden death were the main death of them.Non-old group suffered from schizophrenia and emotion disorder mostly,and physical disease,suicide and sudden death were the main death of them.Conclusion The mortality of old inpatient with psychosis is higher than that of the non-old inpatients.There were some differences between the death of them.
