Abstract:
Objective To investigate the interaction relationship of icariin and curculigoside on the osteoclastic formation, differentiation and bone resorbing. Methods Multinucleated osteoclasts were induced by 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamine D3 and dexamethasone from bone marrow cells with the presence of primary osteoblastic cells, or induced with RANKL and MCSF.The activity of TRAP was measured by p-nitrophenyl sodium phosphate assay.The bone absorption pit area on the bone slices formed by osteoclast was measured by computer image processing.The F-actin ring were stained with Hoechst 33 258 and rhodamine-phalloidin, and then observed under the confocal scanning laser microscopy. The Western-blot was used to analysis the expression of protein which was related to the cytoskeleton of osteoclasts. Results Icariin and curculigoside at the concentration of 1×10-6mol/L synergistically inhibited the osteoclastic formation, decreased the activity of TRAP, and reduced the area of bone resorption pit on bone slices, inhibited the organization of F-actin ring and the expression of FAK and Rho GTPases. Conclusions Icariin and curculigoside synergistically inhibited the osteoclastic bone resorption, which provided scientific basis for the theory of the compatibility of traditional Chinese medicine Epimedii Folium and CurculiginIs Rhizoma.

Methods Endophytic fungi were isolated by tissue-culture method and identified by ITS analysis. Results 1851 strains of endophytic fungi were isolated from the leaves, twigs and barks of C. fortunei which were sampled in spring, summer, autumn and winter. These stains were divided into 77 morphotype according to the cultural characteristics and were identified as 70 taxons by ITS analysis. The results suggested that effects of season and tissue on the colonization rate, isolation rate and species composition of endophytes were apparent, and effects of season were stronger than that of tissue. Conclusion There are abundant and multiple endophytie fungi in Cephalotaxus fortunei. According to the comprehensive analysis combined with richness and biodiversity indexes, spring was the best sampling time for getting most species of endophytes.

2013, 31(4): 273-276. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1006-0111.2013.04.009
Abstract:
Objective To explore the application of Raman spectroscopy in metronidazole injection solution analysis. Methods The variation of metronidazole (MET) injections' Raman spectra was analyzed when the pH varied from 1 to 12, and the related substances (2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole) in MET injection were detected. Two quantitative analysis techniques, multivariate partial least squares (PLS) and principal component regression (PCR) were compared in MET sample quantification. The quantification results of commercial MET injection product were compared with pharmacopoeias suggested UV Spectrometry method. Results The pH differences were reflected in Raman spectra. Because of the low concentration of the related substance in Commercial MET injection (1 mg/L), the related substance could not be detected by Raman spectrum. Conclusion Both PLS and PCR could reach satisfactory prediction, and the concentrations found from Raman and UV spectrometry showed no significant differences according to t-test (α=0.05).

Abstract:
Objective To compare different experts' opinions about pharmaceutical specialists'credentials for military superior technical position. Methods Delphi method was taken to organize two rounds of specialist consultations, the final opinions of specialists with different professional ranks were compared on the index weights. Results In comparison of opinions about six first-level indicators (W=0.906, P=0.107), the specialists agreed that pharmaceutical work and professional knowledge were the most important. For the second-level indicators like professional knowledge, pharmaceutical work and teaching, the opinions were also consistent (W=1, P=0.092; W=1, P=0.157; W=1, P=0.135). For the second-level indicators like ideology and mortality, scientific research and the third-level indicators like quantity of pharmaceutical work, quality of pharmaceutical work and teaching achievements, the opinions were different(W=0.75, P=0.223; W=0.75, P=0.223; W=0.75, P=0.223;W=0.1, P=0.896; W=0, P=1).
