This study aimed to investigate the effects of Shuanglongjiegu pill (SLJGP) on the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and explore its mechanism based on miR-217/RUNX2 axis. Results found that drug-containing serum of SLJGP promoted BMSCs viability with a dose-dependent effect. Under osteogenic differentiation conditions, SLJGP promoted the expression of ALP, OPN, BMP2, RUNX2, and the osteogenic differentiation ability of BMSCs.

Objective: To explore the mechanism in cold-resistant of Cyathula officinalis seedlings,in order to provide a theoretical basis for variety breeding and resistance cultivation of Cyathula officinalis.

Methods: Collected the materials in main producing areas of Cyathula officinalis,and the Cyathula officinalis growing into seedling with five pairs of leaves were used to research. The seeds were deal with low temperature stress,and the seedlings of morphological and physiological indicators of Cyathula officinalis were measured,membership function method and low temperature variation index were used to screen and evaluate the cold-tolerance of the Cyathula officinalis.
