China Pharmacist 2017;20(3):562-565
Objective:To study the feasibility of the determination of ephedrine hydrochloride in Tongxuan Lifei pills by acceler-ated solvent extraction ( ASE) combined with QuEChERS purification, and compare the results with those of the extraction method in Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Methods: The extraction efficiency of ephedrine hydrochloride in Tongxuan Lifei pills determined by HPLC was used as the evaluation index, and the operation parameters of ASE were optimized by orthogonal experiments. Results: The opti-mum conditions of ASE for the determination of ephedrine hydrochloride in Tongxuan Lifei pills were as follows:the samples were defat-ted by n-hexane ( the extraction temperature was 80℃, the static extraction time was 5 min for one cycle, and the flush volume was 100%. ) ,and then methanol was used as the extraction solvent for the extraction of ephedrine hydrochloride ( the extraction temperature was 80℃,the static extraction time was 8 min for three cycles) ,in the end, the impurities were purified by PSA purifying agent. Using the optimized ASE method to extract ephedrine hydrochloride in Tongxuan Lifei pills, the extraction time was reduced to 40 minutes with less interference, and compared with that of the method in Chinese Pharmacopoeia, the determination of the relative standard devi-ation was less than 5%. Conclusion:The ASE technique combined with QuEChERS purification is simple, quick and effective,and it can be used as the pretreatment method for the determination of ephedrine hydrochloride in Tongxuan Lifei pills.

Objective To investigate the present mental disability situation in Hubei provinee and the reha- bilitation strategies in use. Methods Provincial data from the Second China Sampling Survey of Disability was ana- lyzed. The 31 districts sampled in the survey were divided into a city group and a countryside group. The incidence of mental disability reported in the two groups was compared. Results Reported mental disability was found to be sig- nifieantly more prevalent in the countryside than in the city. However, the proportion of severe mental disability was significantly lower. Conclusion The need for rehabilitation of mental disability is huge in Hubei province. Society and the government should pay more attention to the rehabilitation of mental disability.

Objective To discuss the efficacy and security of entecavir and interferon sequential combination therapy on chronic hepatitis B.Methods 108 patients with chronic hepatitis B were randomly divided into the sequential combination therapy group,the entecavir group and the interferon group.Each group had 36 cases.The efficacy and security of different therapy were observed.Results The HBV DNA negative rate of the sequential combination therapy group was 77.78%,and the ALT normalization rate was 91.67%,which were both higher than those of the entecavir group and the interferon group(x2 =14.40,22.12,20.07,18.47,all P < 0.05).The total effective rate of the sequential combination therapy group was 91.67%,which was obviously higher than that of entecavir group and the interferon group(x2 =12.09,6.82,all P < 0.05).The entecavir and interferon sequential combination therapy had a good security.Conclusion Entecavir combined with interferon sequential therapy in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B had a significant clinical efficacy and deserved promotion.

[Objective]To study the effects of Caspase-1 specific inhibitor AC-YVAD-CMK on intimal hyperplasia after carotid artery balloon injury in rats and its possible mechanism.[Methods]A total of 33 male adult SD rats were randomly divided into sham group,balloon injury group and balloon injury+AC-YVAD-CMK group. Using the method of balloon injury to establish rat carotid ar?tery intimal hyperplasia animal model,rats were sacrificed and blood vessels were harvested 14 days after operation. Fifteen vascular segments embedded in OCT and the intima to media(I/M)area ratio of neointima was measured by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining;18 vascular segments were harvested and the expression of NLRP3 inflammasome,cleaved-Caspase-1,interleukin(IL)-1βand IL-18 were measured by Western blot.[Results]HE staining showed that AC-YVAD-CMK significantly inhibited the degree of intimal hyperplasia compared with the balloon injury group[(0.78 ± 0.13)vs(1.52 ± 0.14);P=0.000]. The expression of NLRP3 inflamma?some was increased in balloon injury group while the AC-YVAD-CMK attenuates the expression of NLRP3(P=0.009);The expres?sion of cleaved-Caspase-1 was in line with the expression of NLRP3(P=0.000). The levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1βand IL-18 in balloon injury+AC-YVAD-CMK group were significantly lower than those in the balloon injury group(P=0.000).[Conclusion]AC-YVAD-CMK can attenuate intimal hyperplasia after balloon injury of carotid artery in rats,which might be related to its effect on inhibiting the activation of Caspase-1,which could affect the release of pro-inflammatory cytokine of IL-1βand IL-18.
