Morphological and microscopic characterization of five commonly-used testacean traditional Chinese medicines

Testacean traditional Chinese medicine (TTCM), derived from the outer shell of sea or freshwater mollusks, is a special and important category of Chinese medicinal materials. To ensure the effective use of TTCM, a comparative identification study was performed on five commonly-used testacean drugs, including Haliotidis Concha, Arcae Concha, Meretricis Concha, Ostreae Concha and Margaritifera Concha (Shijueming, Walengzi, Geqiao, Muli and Zhenzhumu in Chinese, respectively). Typical morphological photographs of the crude drugs were acquired, and the key microscopic characteristics of the derived powders under normal light microscope and polarized light microscope were summarized. The major results can be concluded as follows: (1) the original species involved in the five TTCMs could be distinguished by their respective interspecies morphological characteristics; (2) the key identification characteristics of the five powdered crude drugs were mainly crystal fragments, with the fragment features under both normal light and polarized light microscope providing powerful points for differentiating the five commonly-used testacean drugs. This study demonstrated that it is feasible to provide authentication for these five kinds of TTCMs by the combination of morphology with microscopy.

Increase of leukemia cell apoptosis through the down-regulation of silencer of death domains by Paclitaxel / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

Objective To explore the signaling pathway of apoptosis induced by Paclitaxel (PTX) in leukemia cells and the chemosensitizing effect of adding short hairpin RNA(shRNA) on PTX,which targets the silencer of death domains(SODD).Methods After being treated with PTX,the expressions of SODD,B-cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 (Bcl-2),nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and Caspase-3 proteins in Jurkat cells were determined by Western blot ;the shRNA-SODD vectors were constructed and transfected into Jurkat cells by electroporation,and then G418 was used to select the stable tranfected cell line expressing the shRNA-SODD recombinant plasmids.The incidence of cell apoptosis induced by PTX was determined by flow cytometry labeled with propidium iodide.Results During the process of inducing apoptosis of Jurkat cells,PTX could significantly down-regulate the expressions of SODD and Bcl-2 proteins,degrade Caspase-3 and activate NF-κB.The apoptotic sensibility of Jurkat cells transfected with shRNA-SODD to PTX was significantly increased compared with the control group,and the difference was statistically significant (F =10.35,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions PTX can effectively induce apoptosis of Jurkat cells.Perhaps,SODD/Bcl-2 represents a specific apoptotic signaling pathway of PTX in leukemia cells and this apoptotic signaling pathway is Caspase-3-dependent,in which the function of NF-κB is to modulate the correlative apoptotic factors.Inhibiting the expression of SODD through transfecting shRNA-SODD vectors can significantly increase the apoptotic sensibility of leukemia cells to PTX.

A fast iterative reconstruction algorithm of sparse angular CT based on the selective total variation / 生物医学工程学杂志

Aiming at the problem of high-quality image reconstruction from projection data at sparse angular views, we proposed an improved fast iterative reconstruction algorithm based on the minimization of selective image total variation (TV). The new reconstruction scheme consists of two components. Firstly, the algebraic reconstruction technique (ART) algorithm was adopted to reconstruct image that met the identity and non-negativity of projection data, and then, secondly, the selective TV minimization was used to modify the above image. Two phases were alternated until it met the convergence criteria. In order to further speed up the convergence of the algorithm, we applied a fast convergence technology in the iterative process. Experiments on simulated Shepp-Logan phantom were carried out. The results demonstrated that the new method not only improved image reconstruction quality and protected the edge of the image characteristics, but also improved the convergence speed of the iterative reconstruction significantly.
