The results showed that total flavonoids of I. latifolia Thunb.(TFILT) showed maximum absorb peak at 325 nm between UVB and UVA by wavelength scanning spectrum. TFILT could inhibit the decrease of cell viability induced by UVB irradiation by CCK-8 method, and 0.25 mg/ml of TFILT showed the most significant protective activity on cells. The dermal thickness and collagen fiber density as skin structural characteristic were analyzed by Histological staining. The results showed that TFILT protected mice skin by significantly attenuating the dermal thickness and inhibiting collagen fiber degradation. The mechanism in vivo needs to be further confirmed in future.展开更多

The genetic similarity coefficients （GS） ranged from 0.1522 to 0.8322 with an average of 0.5466. There was a significant genetic difference among germplasm materials of Kudingcha species in Oleaceae, and UPGMA cluster based on the GS of RAPD could distinguish all test germplasm materials clearly and indicated the relationship of the 8 species mentioned above, all of which indicated that RAPD markers could be used for the studies of genetic diversity and relationship and classification of germplasm resources of Kudingcha species in Oleaceae. Analysis results of RAPD showed that L. japonicum Thunb. var. pubscens Koidz has closer genetic relationship with L. pedunculare Rehd and further genetic relationship with L. japonicum Thunb. among all tested species. The authors suggest that further research is needed to study whether L. japonicum Thunb. var. pubscens Koidz should be classified into a variata of L. japonicum Thunb, or should be considered as an independent species. The analysis results supported that L. pururascens Y. C. Yang should be combined into L. robustum （Roxb.） Blume.展开更多
