ABSTRACT
The plants of genus osmunda have abundant germplasm resource, which are widely distributed in the world. They have long been used for the treatment of viral, fugal and inflammation diseases. These plants have broad bioactivities and contain various chemical constituents such as flavonoids, esters and steroids. They also have high nutrition value, food value and ornamental value with composition of protein, lipids, carbohydrates, cellulose and trace elements (K, Ca, Mg, P, Fe, etc). The world wide research progresses of the genus osmunda on plant resources, chemical constituents, bioactivities in the past few decades were collected and summarized. This paper provided the evidences and references for further research and exploitment.

ABSTRACT
To study the lead excretion effect of the chelator Zn-DTPA on the lead intoxication mice, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was applied to detect the lead content of biological samples. The acute lead intoxication mice model was established by injecting lead acetate intraperitoneally with the dose of 1 mg. Zn-DTPA was administered intraperitoneally to mice once daily for five consecutive days 4 h after intoxication. Control group, model group, combination of Zn-DTPA and Ca-DTPA group were evaluated at the same time. The urine was collected every day. The mice were sacrificed in batches in the 2rd, 4th, 6th day. Biological samples including urine, whole blood, femur and brain were prepared and nitrated. Lead concentration was detected by ICP-MS. The result showed that Zn-DTPA could increase lead content in urine markedly and reduce lead content in blood, femur and brain.
