To study the pharmacokinetics of ginsenosides Rg1 and its metabolites after iv and oral administration in Wistar rats, the LC-MS/MS method was selected to determine ginsenosides Rg1 and its metabolites in plasma and their pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated. After oral administration of ginsenosides Rg1 to rats, ginsenosides Rg1, Rh1, F1 and protopanaxatriol (Ppt) could be detected in plasma. Their Tmax were 0.92, 3.64, 5.17, and 7.30 h, respectively; MRT were 2.68, 5.06, 6.65, and 5.33 h, respectively; AUC(o-t), were 2 363.5, 4 185.5, 3 774.3, and 396.2 ng x mL(-1) x h, respectively. After iv administration of ginsenosides Rg1 to rats, ginsenosides Rg1, Rh1 and FI could be detected in plasma. Their T1/2betaS were 3.12, 5.87, and 6.87 h, respectively; MRTs were 1.92, 5.99, and 7.13 h, respectively; AUCo-tS were 1 454.7, 597.5, and 805.6 ng x mL(-1) x h, respectively. So, it can be concluded that after oral administration, the amounts of metabolites were higher than the prototype in vivo, and the distribution and elimination of the metabolites were relatively slow. After iv administration, the amount of prototype were higher than that of the metabolites in vivo, and the distribution and elimination of the metabolites were relatively slow.

The association of serum nesfatin-1 levels with insulin resistance and pancreatic β-cell function in gestational diabetes mellitus was investigated.Oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT) was performed in ninety pregnant women from 24,to 28 gestational weeks.They were divided into three groups according to OGTT:45 nomal controls,27 gestational diabetes mellitus with fasting plasma glucose (FPG) of 5.1 mmol/L to 7.0 mmol/L (GDM1),18 gestational diabetes mellitus with FPG more than 7.0 mmol/L (GDM2).Serum nesfatin-1 levels were significantly higher in patients with GDM1 and GDM2 than in controls (P＜0.01),and in GDM2 group it was also higher than GDM1 group(P＜0.05).Fasting serum nesfatin-1 was positively correlated with FPG,30 min plasma glucose,1 h plasma glucose,2 h plasma glucose,homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance,and PGAUC,but negatively correlated with homeostasis model assessment for β-cell function.Furthermore,multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that FPG was the independent influencing factor of serum nesfatin-1 level.Nesfatin-1 was positively correlated with insulin resistance,while negatively correlated with pancreatic β-cell function.Nesfatin-1 may play a role in the pathogenesis of gestational diabetes mellitus.

Objective To compare the safety and therapeutic effect between laparoscope and open neoplasty of gastroduodenal ulcer perforated.Methods Among 93 patients with gastroduodenal ulcer perforated,54 patients were given laparoscope neoplasty of gastroduodenal ulcer perforated (laparoscope group),39 patients were given open neoplasty of gastroduodenal ulcer perforated (open group).The informations during the period of operation in the 2 groups were compared.Results There was no death in the 2 groups,2 cases in laparoscope group converted to open operation.The operation time of laparoscope group was significantly longer than that of open group [(74.85 ± 15.80) min vs.(62.97 ± 12.14) min],there was statistical difference (P ＜ 0.01).There were no statistical differences in the time of postoperative indwelling gastric tube,hospitalization time and complication rate between the 2 groups (P ＞ 0.05).The rate of postoperative analgesia of laparoscope group was significantly lower than that of open group [20.4％ (11/54) vs.74.4％ (29/39)],there was statistical difference (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Laparoscope neoplasty of gastroduodenal ulcer perforated is effective and safe,and has high application value.

AIM: To compare the components of crude and processed Dryopteris Crassirhizoma Nakai by different kinds of cutting and carbonizing. METHODS: UV-spectrometry was utilized to analyze the yield and extract content. RESULTS: Dryopteris Crassirhizoma Nakai after being curshed has the maximum in the yield, the total phenol of carbonized products, the water extract and alcohol extract. CONCLUSION: There are significant differences in intrinsic quality among various processed products of Dryopteris Crassirhizoma nakai, among them the crushed one has the highest quality, which conforms to China pharmacopeia 2000 VolⅠ.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for the simultaneous content determination of berberine hydrochloride,phello-dendrine hydrochloride and magnoflorine in Phellodendron amurense decoction piece,and to campare the contents of the 3 ingredi-ents in different grades of P. amurense decoction piece. METHODS:HPLC was performed on the column of Phenomenex Luna C18 with mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.05 mol/L KH2PO4 (gradient elution) at a flow rate of 1 ml/min,the detection wavelength was 280 nm,the column temperature was 30 ℃,and injection volume was 5 μl. RESULTS:The linear ranges were 0.387 0-7.740 μg for berberine hydrochloride(r=0.999 9),0.044 4-0.888 0 μg for phellodendrine hydrochloride(r=0.999 8)and 0.048 0-0.960 0 μg for magnoflorine(r=0.999 9);RSDs of precision, stability and reproducibility tests were lower than 3%, recoveries were 95.61%-103.22%(RSD=2.80%,n=6),96.18%-102.80%(RSD=1.84%,n=6) and 97.93%-102.78%(RSD=1.84%,n=6). CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple and accurate,and can be used for the contents determination of berberine hydrochloride, phellodendrine hydrochloride and magnoflonine in P. amurense. The contents of berbenine hydrochloride and phellodendrine hydro-chloride in the first-grade decation piece are higher than those in the second-grade decoction piece,and the content of magnoflorine in both decoction pieces shows no discernible differences.

Objective To assess the differences in nutrient composition by chemical analysis method and weighing method,A corps of armed police forces daily dietary nutrient intakes were investigated in Tianjin,to understand the status of the actual intakes of dietary nutrient.Methods A dietary survey was performed using the weighing method and with ref-erence to China food composition database in 2002.The intake of each nutrient was calculated through chemical analysis;Nutritional analysis was used in the collection of duplicate food portions during the dietary survey.Results For most of the main dietary nutrients(protein,fat and carbohydrates),minerals (Na,K,Mg,Ca,Zn,Cu and Se)and vitamins (β-car-otene,vitamin E,thiamine,riboflavin,vitamin C,niacin,and vitamin A),the calculated values of intakes were found to exceed those obtained via chemical analysis.Conclusion Differences of the two methods of dietary survey were ultimately due to the analysed values were below the calculated ones.So it is necessary to improve methods of food storage and trans-portation in order to obtain adequate nutrition and to improve the health of troops.
