| 1 | A complete sequence and comparative analysis of a SARS-associated virus(Isolate BJ01)显示文摘The genome sequence of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)-associated virus provides essential information for the identification of pathogen(s), exploration of etiology and evolution, interpretation of transmission and pathogenesis, development of diagnostics, prevention by future vaccination, and treatment by developing new drugs. We report the complete genome sequence and comparative analysis of an isolate (BJ01) of the coronavirus that has been recognized as a pathogen for SARS. The genome is 29725 nt in size and has 11 ORFs (Open Reading Frames). It is composed of a stable region encoding an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (composed of 2 ORFs) and a variable region representing 4 CDSs (coding sequences) for viral structural genes (the S, E, M, N proteins) and 5 PUPs (putative uncharacterized proteins). Its gene order is identical to that of other known coronaviruses. The sequence alignment with all known RNA viruses places this virus as a member in the family of Coronaviridae. Thirty putative substitutions have been identified by comparative analysis of the 5 SARS- associated virus genome sequences in GenBank. Fifteen of them lead to possible amino acid changes (non-synonymous mutations) in the proteins. Three amino acid changes, with predicted alteration of physical and chemical features, have been detected in the S protein that is postulated to beinvolved in the immunoreactions between the virus and its host. Two amino acid changes have been detected in the Mprotein, which could be related to viral envelope formation. Phylogenetic analysis suggests the possibility of non-human origin of the SARS-associated viruses but provides noevidence that they are man-made. Further efforts should focus on identifying the etiology of the SARS-associated virus and ruling out conclusively the existence of otherpossible SARS-related pathogen(s). | QIN E'de ZHU Qingyu YU Man FAN Baochang CHANG Guohui SI Bingyin YANG Bao PENG Wenming JIANG Tao LIU Bohua DENG Yongqiang LIU Hong ZHANG Yu WANG Cui LI Yuquan GAN Yonghua LI Xiaoyu L Fushuang TAN Gang CAO Wuchun, YANG Ruifu Institute of Microbiology and Epidemiology, Chinese Academy of Military Medical Sciences, Beijing 100071, China WANG Jian, LI Wei, XU Zuyuan, LI Yan, WU Qingfa, LIN Wei, CHEN Weijun, TANG Lin, DENG Yajun, HAN Yujun, LI Changfeng, LEI Meng, LI Guoqing, LI Wenjie, L Hong, SHI Jianping, TONG Zongzhong, ZHANG Feng, LI Songgang, LIU Bin, LIU Siqi, DONG Wei, WANG Jun, Gane K-S Wong, YU Jun & YANG Huanming* Beijing Genomics Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 101300 National Center for Genome Information, Beijing 101300, China | 2003 | Chinese Science Bulletin2003，48，10： | 121 |
| 3 | Molecular basis and mechanism of action of Albizia julibrissin in depression treatment and clinical application of its formulae显示文摘Albizzia julibrissin is empirically used as an antidepressant in clinical practice.Preclinical studies have indicated that its total extracts or bioactive constituents exerted antidepressant-like responses in animal models,providing the molecular basis to reveal its underlying mechanism of action.While attempts have been made to understand the antidepressant effect of A.julibrissin,many fundamental questions regarding its mechanism of action remain to be addressed at the molecular and systems levels.In this review,we conclusively discussed the mechanism of action of A.julibrissin and A.julibrissin formulae by reviewing recent preclinical and clinical studies conducted by using depressive animal models and depressive patients.Several representative bioactive constituents and formulae were highlighted as examples,and their mechanisms of action were discussed.In addition,some representative A.julibrissin formulae that have been shown to be compatible with conventional antidepressants in clinical practice were also reviewed.Furthermore,we discussed the future research directions to reveal the underlying mechanism of A.julibrissin at the molecular and systems levels in depression treatment.The integrated study using both the molecular and systematic approaches is required not only for improving our understanding of its molecular basis and mechanisms of action,but also for providing a way to discover novel agents or approaches for the effective and systematic treatment of depression. | Bishan Huang Yingyao Wu Chan Li Qingfa Tang Yuanwei Zhang | 2023 | Chinese Herbal Medicines2023，15，2： | 0 |
