ABSTRACT
The use of animal medicine has a long history in China, it has the characteristics of high curative effect,strong activity, wide application and great potential. However,the circulation of animal medicine in current market mixed counterfeit variety and complex. Molecular identification technology of DNA barcoding is an emerging molecular biotechnology in recent years, it is a powerful supplement to traditional identification methods. This method can well identify animal species at the molecular level and has high accuracy, it can identify animal medicines quickly and monitor the medicine market effectively. This article summarizes the research process of molecular identification of DNA barcoding, the application of DNA barcoding in medicinal animals identification in recent years, and the limitations of DNA barcoding technology.

Medicinal animal breeding standards is regarded as the law to normalize relevant production that can guarantee the quality of traditional Chinese medicine of animal category. The article summarized the medicinal animal resources in our country and the present condition of medicinal animal breeding standards. It considered the current animal breeding standards system was in adequate, not only the quantity of breeding standards, the standard content and index were also uncomprehensive, which is not conducive to the scientific and orderly development and utilization of medicinal animal resources. The article pointed out that the development of the basic standards, environmental control, feed quality, raising management, inspection and quarantine should be included into the medicinal animal breeding standards, and the medicinal animal breeding standards content framework was introduced. Meanwhile, animal welfare, biological safety and file management should be concerned during the process of research. Hope the article has good reference value to medicinal animal breeding standards establishment and production management.
ABSTRACT
The feasibility to breed gecko, scorpion, centipede,leech and ground beetle together in abreeding shed of our own design with constant temperature was tried for a period of 2 years. Resultsshowed that the animals lead their normal dietetic and living habit satisfactorily, without hibernation andreproduce their offsprings the whole year round. It could be concluded that such breeding scheme is worth-while to advocate for the benefit of those who are engaged in the business of medicinal animal breeding.
ABSTRACT
This paper reports the effects of common marine medicinal animals and their clinical applications in gynecological diseases for the fist time in Nanji Archipelago National Marine Nature Reserve of Zhejiang Province. The results show that pharmacological effects of 93 species, which belong to 5 phyla, of marine medicinal animals are obvious in clinical applications of gynecological diseases. According to pharmacological effects, marine medicinal animals in clinical applications can be divided into twelve groups: 1. drugs for leukorrha-gia; 2. drugs for anemia and uterine bleeding; 3. drugs for intermenstrual flow or metror-rhagia; 4. oxytocic drug; 5. lactogenic drugs,- 6. drugs for menoxenia; 7. drugs for pregnancy hypertension; 8. drugs for postpartum hemorrhage; 9. drugs for postpartum constipation; 10. drugs for mastitis; 11. drugs for amenorrhoea; 12. emmenagogue;
ABSTRACT
We compare the contents of trace elements and amino acids in different parts of Cambarus clarkii Girard and Penaeus orientalis Kishinouye and reveal that the contents of the two compositions in some parts of Cambarus clarkii Girard are higher than those in Penaeus orientalis Kishinouye. Therefore the results suggest similar medicinal value of Cambarus clarkii Girard with Penaeus orientalis Kishinouye.
