艾菊属

Pappus, which help disperse seeds by the wind.Vegetables of the Aster family that commonly consumed by local people are garland chrysanthemum, lettuce, mugwort, burdock, and chrysanthemum teaetc.

在台湾属於菊科的蔬菜有茼蒿、莴苣、角菜、牛蒡、艾草及红凤菜等；另外，可食用的有制作草仔粿的鼠麴草和泡菊花茶的杭菊。

Parthenolide is extract from feverfew, it's main component is sesquiterpene, it is commanly used in west country and is mainly used to therapy skin infection, rheumatic disorder, migraine. But recent research indicate that parthenolide can regulate many pathway of signal in the cell, inhibit the cyclooxygenase, TNF-α, interleukin-1 expression induced by lipopolysaccharide in macrophage, inhibit the iNOS expression in human monocyt, inhibit the activity of NF-κB in Hela cell, inhibit the growth of tumor cell and can relieve the myocardial ischemical reperfusion injury and so on. But the invention research about the effection of parthenolide on the VSMC is very rare in the world, so we do some research about the effection of inhibition of parthenpolide on the proliferation of VSMC and the signal transduction mechanism.

小白菊内酯(parthenolide，又名Sesquiterpene lactone)是艾叶菊属黑叶母菊的提取物，主要成分是倍半萜烯内酯，西方国家较为常用，主要用于治疗皮肤感染、风湿病和偏头痛，但近年来发现小白菊内酯能调控细胞内多种信号途径，如抑制巨噬细胞中脂多糖诱导的Cox，肿瘤坏死因子α和白细胞介素-1的表达，能抑制人单核细胞中iNOS的表达，能抑制Hela细胞中NF-κB的活性，抑制肿瘤细胞的生长，同时能减轻心肌缺血再灌注损伤等，但小白菊内酯在VSMC中的干预研究目前国内外非常罕见，为了确切评价小白菊内酯对血管平滑肌细胞增殖的抑制作用及相关的信号转导机制，我们进行了一些研究。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
