ABSTRACT
Ginsenoside Rg1 is one of the most important active components of the "king of herbs" Panax ginseng, which is an important angiogenic protective agent. The research results have shown that Rg1 has a wide range of cardiovascular pharmacological effects in vivo and in vitro, mainly through promoting the proliferation of smooth muscle cells, inhibiting endothelial cell aging, antioxidant stress, inhibiting inflammatory response, activating key factors of angiogenesis, improving vasodilation and other ways. Many miRNAs participate in the process of Rg1 promoting angiogenesis, mediate the regulation of the specific expression of downstream related targets to promote angiogenesis and vascular remodeling, and have the potential to become new clinical biomarkers and therapeutic targets. New preparation technologies and materials are used to make up for the weakness of Rg1's blood-brain barrier permeability, and further promote and enrich the clinical application of Rg1.
ABSTRACT
The quality control of Chinese materia medica (CMM) is the basis for ensuring the safety and effectiveness of clinical medication of traditional Chinese medicine. The whole process of Chinese medicine processing has a great impact on the final quality. The research and determination of the Q-marker of CMM are of great significance to the substance basis research on CMM, the identification of Chinese medicinal materials, the processing of CMM, and the processing of CMM pharmaceutics. The total quantum statistical moment (TQSM) can fully reflect the chromatographic fingerprints information of CMM, with additive, coupling and strong anti-interference. It can be used for qualitative and quantitative analysis of the whole process of CMM, and can also be used to explore the pharmaceutic rule of Chinese medicine compound and its pharmacokinetic process, which can achieve a comprehensive reflection of the quality of CMM and its compound. Through systematic analysis of the research progress of Chinese medicine Q-marker and the principle and application of TQSM, this paper attempts to provide ideas for the research and determination of Chinese medicine quality markers based on TQSM.
ABSTRACT
Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is a member of the genus Pestivirus, which is a widespread problem for beef and dairy herds, and has given rise to a significant loss in the livestock industry all over the world. The BVDV strain JZ05-1 isolated from cattle in Jilin, China generated cytopathic effect (CPE) in MDBK cells. Eight overlapped gene fragments were amplified by RT-PCR and sequenced, the complete genom sequence of BVDV strain JZ05-1 was assembled. According to the results, the JZ05-1 genome was composed of 12285 nucleotides in length (GenBank accession No. GQ888686), which could be divided into three regions: a 387 nt 5'-untranslated region (UTR), a 11694 nt single large open reading frame encoding a polyprotein, and a 204 nt 3'-UTR. The 5'-UTR and genome sequences were analyzed by sequence alignment and construction of phylogenetic trees. The strain JZ05-1 was classified as BVDV type 2a. The BVDV-2 strain JZ05-1 genome showed high similarity to the p11Q isolated in Canada and the XJ-04 isolated in China, with 90% and 91% identity in nucleotide sequence, respectively. Compared with the similarity within the BVDV-2 genotype (96%), the JZ05-1 had low sequence similarity to other BVDV-2 strains.
