Application and Development of Non-psychoactive Medicinal Cannabis / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Non-psychoactive medicinal cannabis is the cannabis that contain less than 0.3% of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and high content of cannabidiol (CBD) (more than 2.0% is reasonable), and mainly used for medicinal purpose. Cannabis have a long medical history, in this review, we retrospected the medicinal history of cannabis in China and the world. We summarized the cannabinoid especially CBD application of medicine in epilepsy, mental disease, tumor, analgesic and inflammatory, also the widely application in food, healthy products, cosmetics and other fields. Based on the problems like shortage of high CBD cultivars, weakness of fundamental research existed in non-psychoactive medicinal cannabis industry. We should fully utilize the genetic information of medicinal cannabis, establish the comprehensive identification system of non-psychoactive medicinal cannabis varieties, accelerate the breeding process of non-psychoactive medicinal cannabis cultivars, to ensure the safety and effectiveness of non-psychoactive medicinal cannabis. Strengthen the basic research on CBD and other cannabinoids to promote the application of non-psychoactive medicinal cannabis products and sustainable development of medical cannabis industry.

MicroRNAs with the Regeneration and Differentiation of Islet β cells and the Targeted Therapy of Traditional Chinese Medicine / 世界科学技术-中医药现代化

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs about 18-25 nucleotides in length,involved in post-transcriptional genes regulation process.Previous studies showed that miRNAs played an important regulatory role in pancreatic development,gene expression,and synthesis and secretion of insulin.A variety of miRNAs which expressed in islet β cells may affect the proliferation and differentiation of islet β cells.Since miRNAs showed tissue specificity,their expression changes were closely related to some diseases.Thus,integrative studies with miRNAs over the essence of syndromes of traditional Chinese medicine could provide new ideas for the treatment of diabetes.
