ABSTRACT
Objective To determine the optimum harvest time of Scutellaria barbata D.Don with flavonoids contents as the index. Methods The content of total flavonoids in Scutellaria barbata D. Don was determined by ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry with scutellarin as standard control, and scutellarin and cosmosiin in Scutellaria barbata D. Don were determined by HPLC. Results The contents of total flavonoids and scutellarin in Scutellaria barbata D.Don of different harvest time were complied with the quality standards in the China Pharma Copoeia, and reached the peakin blossom . The contents of total flavonoids, scutellarin and cosmosiin were (45.74±0.95) ,(5.58±0.16 ) and (17.39±0.42) mg?g-1 , respectively. Conclusion The Scutellaria Barbata D.Don may be collected at the flowering time with luxuriant foliage.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the relationship between the molecular characteristics and phylogenetic evolution of rabies N gene.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Saliva samples were collected from rabies cases, and RT-PCR was used to amplify the N gene of rabies virus with the specific primers. The amplifying product of RT-PCR was cloned to pUCm-T vector and transformed into E.coli XL1-Blue and then the blue-white selection, PCR screening and gene sequencing were carried out to identify the positive clones. Finally, ExPASy and other bioinformatics software were used to analyze and predict the structure and biological characteristics of the N genome.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The amplification product of RT-PCR was 1 353 bp, the recombinant plasmid pUCm-T/N was constructed, the whole length of the N gene open reading frame was composed of 1 353 nucleotide residues to code 450 amino acids (20 kinds), the accession number submitted to the Genbank was HM756692, its sequence homology of nucleotides and amino acids compared with the vaccine strain CTN-1-V was 90% and 99% respectively. The evolutionary analysis showed that the isolated strain belonged to genotype I with certain geographic regionality.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The characteristics investigation and bioinformatics analysis of Hunan0806 N gene will provide fundamental data to reveal the significance of the N gene characteristics for rabies epidemiology and its prevention & control.</p>

Objective To provide reference for CT performance/quality test. Methods Researches were made in Chinese documentations on CT performance/quality test issued from 1998-aug 2002.Results Approximately a quarter of CTs among the documents assembly released public were tested unqualified . Qualification rate of new CTs was higher Than second-handed ones. Part of items and data in the documentations were insufficient. Conclusion CT performance/quality test is a crucial part of system Engineering of QC(quality control),therefore it must be implemented seriously and relevant regulations should be optimized in order to benefit both patients and health-care communities.
