Abstract:
Heavy metals in soil will affect the growth,development,multiplication of plants.Meanwhile,the plants that grow under heavy metal press can produce heavy metal tolerance and hyperaccumulation.This paper reviewed the impacts of heavy metal stress on the growth of medicinal plants and its machanism of tolerance and hyperaccumulation.The impacts of heavy metal tolerance and hyperaccumulation on the safety of traditional Chinese medicine were also reviewed.

Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the differential proteomics of the peritoneal macrophages in experimental endometriosis rats treated by EsA. Methods Experimental endometriosis was induced by auto-transplantation of endometrium.Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(2D-PAGE) combined with MALDI-TOF/TOF identification were used to investigate the effects of EsA on the proteome of macrophages of experimental endometriosis rats. Results Compared with normal controls,pyruvate kinase3(PKM2).phosphatidylinositol transfer protein(PITPN),and heat shock protein 8(HSP8) had higher expression in peritoneal macrophages of experimental endometriosis,but glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase(GAPDH) expressed lower.However,these aberrant expression could be inhibited by EsA. Conclusion It was revealed a potential mechanism of the pathogenesis of endometriosis,which gave a new sight to understand the anti-inflammatory effects of EsA and its underlying immunoregulation mechanisms.

Abstract:
Objective To study the protective effects and mechanism of aqueous extract of Erzhi pill on hepatocytes injured by CCL4 or H2O2. Methods The L-O2 hepatocytes were incubated and then injured by CCl4.The levels of AST,ALT,MDA and SOD in cultural supernatant were detected by general Methods.Cell viability was assayed by MTT method. Results The elevation of MDA content of hepatocytes and AST,ALT level in supernatant of hepatocytes,and the loss of SOD activit y induced by CCl4 were restored remarkably by AEEP(0.32~40 μg/ml).The elevation of ALT,AST level in the supernatant of hepatocytes and MDA content of hepatocytes,and the loss of SOD activity induced by H2O2 were improved significantly by AEEP(0.32~40 μg/ml)treatment. Conclusion The Results suggest that AEEP possess direct protective action on hepatocytes in vitro injured by CCl4 or H2O2.These might be associated with its anti-oxidative activity.
