Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to improved input/output efficiency for online analysis processing in a relational database. An aspect of the invention includes selecting a table from a relational database. The table is split by column into sub-tables, with at least one of the sub-tables including at least two columns. Each sub-table is written into a corresponding table of a row-based storage database.

Abstract: A method for preparing dehydrocavidine, dehydroapocavidine and their respective composition is provided. The composition is first prepared by isolating and purifying the quaternary ammonium alkaloid components from the medicinal plant “Yan Huang Lian” (Corydalis saxicola Bunting) through the processes of solvent extraction, water-phase organic extraction, crystallization and recrystallization, and then drying to obtain said composition containing dehydrocavidine and dehydroapocavine. When necessary, the composition or their crude extracts can be separated by chromatography to obtain dehydrocavidine or dehydroapocavidine. Dehydrocavidine, dehydroapocavidine or their respective composition can be used in manufacturing medicines for treating viral hepatitis, hepatic injury, influenza, AIDS, tumors or arrhythmia.

Abstract: A method for promoting differentiation of clonogenic neural stem cells (NSCs), comprising administering to a patient in the need of such promoting a coumarin compound represented by formula I or by formula II. The representative coumarin compounds include 7-hydroxycoumarin, daphnoretin, scopoletin, edgeworin, aesculetin and esculetin-6-?-D-glucopyranoside. The coumarin compounds showed significant activity of directing the differentiation of NSCs in pharmacological test and thereof could be used to prepare drugs to direct NSCs differentiated to oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) for the treatment of demyelinating diseases or spinal cord injury. The drug could be a pure coumarin compound or a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutical dose of a coumarin compound as active ingredients and a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier. The content of the active ingredients in the pharmaceutical composition is between 0.1% and 99.5% by weight.
