Objective: To develop a new determination method of astrogaloside in s erum by spectrophotofluorimetry. Methods: The fluorescence char acteristics of astragaloside anisic reaction product were used to determine astragaloside in serum. Re sults: The reaction product of astrogaloside and anisic acid had excitatio n and emission maxima were at 320 and 387 nm, respectively. The linear range of determ inati on was between 0.2 and 40.0 mg*L -1. The detection limit was 0.02 mg*L -1. The recovery of measurement was between 98.8% and 102.4%. Conclusion: The propos ed method has advantages of high sensitivity, low detection limit and no interference. It has been used to determine astragaloside in serum successfully.

Objective: To develop new kinds of stationary phases suitable for applications in capillary electrochromatography (CEC), as well as in LC, which can be tailored to realize selective separations of solutes difficult to separate with conventional stationary phases. Methods:Purchased spherical silica particles (5 ?m) were refluxed in anhydrous toluene with vinyl triethoxysilane for 18 h, to modify the surface with vinylsilyl groups. The silylated silica particles were subsequently stirred in an n henanol acetonitril mixture (1∶4, volume fraction) for 18 h. Styrene and divinylbenzene in the mixture co polymerized to form a crosslinked encapsulation layer on the silica surface, and bonded on the surface vinyl groups at the same time, both reactions were initiated by azo iso butyronitrile. The poly(Styrene divinylbenzene) encapsulated silica(PS DES) produced can be used as a non conventional stationary phase for CEC itself. By sulphonation of the PS DES phase with chlorosulphonic acid, strong cation exchange stationary phase of sulphonic type was obtained. Results: The manufactured PS DES as well as the sulphonated phases were respectively packed into capillaries,and the columns thus prepared were tested for their chromatographic characteristics. It was found that the PS DES phase showed reversed phase characteristics. Due to the phenyl groups in the encapsulated polymer, it introduced ?-? electronic interaction between the solutes molecules and stationary phase during the chromatographic separation process, therefore it showed unique selectivity on separating aromatic compounds, also polar as well as some alkaline drugs was analyzed on the column packed with the phase. It was demonstrated that the sulphonated phase could be used to prepare columns for the separation of alkaline drugs, symmetric peaks were obtained for them and base line separation was realized. Conclusion: It is possible that these stationary phases prepared can be used for solving the analytical problems in which non conventional selectivity are needed ( the analyses of alkaline drugs are examples) In some cases, the analysts can realize the anticipated separation results based on the different separation mechanism from that of the conventional stationary phases.

Objective To optimize a C57BL/6J mouse liver fibrosis model induced by different doses of carbon tetrachloride through imaging,molecular biology,and pathology method.Methods Thirty-six healthy C57BL/6J male mice were randomly divided into a control group,2 weeks,3 weeks,4 weeks,6 weeks,and 8 weeks groups(n=6)after adaptive feeding for 1 week.The control group was intraperitoneally injected with 0.2 mL olive oil three times a week,and the positive-control groups were intraperitoneally injected with 0.2 mL 20%CCl4-olive oil solution three times a week.Changes in the body weights of mice in each group were recorded.Liver stiffness was measured on days 15,22,29,43 and 57,and blood samples were collected,and cereal third alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),hyaluronic acid(HA),laminin(LN),pro-typeⅢcollagen(PC-Ⅲ),and typeⅣcollagen(Ⅳ-C)content was measured.The liver tissues were stained with hematoxylin and eosin(HE),Masson,and Sirius red.The Metavir scoring system was used to evaluate the degree of liver fibrosis.Results Compared with the control group,mice in the positive-control groups were listless and tended to huddle together.In terms of body weight,the 4 weeks,6 weeks,and 8 weeks groups were significantly lighter than the control group,while the 2 weeks group mice were significantly heavier than the control group mice.Liver elastography showed a progressive increase in stiffness with increased administration time.The biochemical tests showed that,compared with the control group,the other groups'ALT and AST levels were significantly higher.With an increase in drug delivery time,the positive-control group's HA,LN,PC-Ⅲ and Ⅳ-C levels showed increasing trends.Pathological examination revealed that liver fibrosis was progressively aggravated with an increase in administration time.At 4 weeks,the pathological diagnosis was consistent with that of liver fibrosis,and there were signs of pseudolobule formation at 6 weeks.Pseudolobules were formed at 8 weeks,suggesting early cirrhosis.Conclusions A liver fibrosis model can be successfully established in C57BL/6J mice by intraperitoneal injection of 20%CCl4-olive oil solution three times a week for 4 consecutive weeks.The model has good stability,and the modeling method is rapid and can be used as an optimized scheme for the establishment of liver fibrosis models.
