The effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) against various diseases urges more low cost,speed and sensitive analytical methods for investigating the phamacology of TCM and providing a theoretical basis for clinical use.The potential of second-order calibration method was validated for the quantification of two effective ingredients of Schisandra chinensis in human plasma using spectrofluorimetry.The results obtained in the present study demonstrate the advantages of this strategy for multi-target determination in complex matrices.Although the spectra of the analytes are similar and a large number of interferences also exist,second-order calibration method could predict the accurate concentrations together with reasonable resolution of spectral profiles for analytes of interest owing to its ‘second-order advantage'.Moreover,the method presented in this work allows one to simply experimental procedure as well as reduces the use of harmful chemical solvents.

Objective To understand the epidemic characteristics and regularity of influenza B virus in Guizhou Province, and provide scientific evidence for the control and prevention of influenza.Methods Results of reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(PT-PCR) of influenza B virus in Guizhou Province from April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2016 were statistically analyzed.Results A total of 1 904 samples were detected influenza B virus by RT-PCR, B/Yamagata (By) lineage and B/Victoria (Bv) lineage were 1 215 and 642 respectively.In April 2013-March 2014 and April 2014-March 2015, the predominant strains of influenza B were both By lineage, in April 2015-March 2016, the predominant strains of influenza B were Bv and By lineages, the epidemic peaks were in winter and spring;there's a higher positive percentage of influenza B in male, accounting for 56.83%;the highest detection rate of influenza B virus was found in population aged <15 years(70.80%),Bv and By lineages were the highest in the 0~ (42.37%) and 5~ age groups (35.56%) respectively;the main pathogen causing mixed infection was By+Bv (67.65%),mixed infection with influenza B virus accounted for 95.59%.Conclusion There are two lineages By and Bv epidemic in Guizhou Province, the epidemic peaks of influenza B are in winter and spring, male cases are higher than female, people under 15 years old are the high-risk group for influenza B, it is of great significance to strengthen the vaccination and surveillance of influenza in low age population.

Objective To understand the genetic variations of neuraminidase (NA) genes of avian influenza virus H9N2 in Weining,Guizhou Province,and to provide the scientific evidence for the prevention and control of avian influenza virus.Methods Ribonucleic acids (RNA) were extracted and NA genes were amplified and sequenced from 13 randomly selected H9N2 positive samples from the live poultry market (LPM)environments in north of Weining Yi and Hui and Miao autonomous county (Weining),Guizhou Province during 2015 to 2017.Then the homology,genetic evolution,and sites of stalk deletion areas,potential N-glycosylation,receptor binding regions and drug resistance of H9N2 subtype avian influenza viruses were analyzed by a series of bioinformation software.Results Homology analysis revealed that there were 93.0%-100.0% and 92.1%-100.0% similarity among 13 strains H9N2 avian influenza viruses in nucleotide and amino acid of the NA gene,respectively.All strains belonged to DK/HK/Y280/97 sub-lineage,but their genetic sources were complex and diverse.Thirteen strains had a stalk deletion of 3 amino acid residues TEI at positions 63-65 and 3 isolates had mutation QN to QK at positions 39-40.The potential N-glycosylation sites at amino acid residues 86,146,200,and 234 of the NA protein of all strains were highly conserved,while other N-glycosylation sites had quantity and site mutations.There were different mutation types at the three sialic acid binding site areas,especially at 399-404 area.All NA protease activity sites and key sites of the 13 strains had no mutations associated with resistance to the neuraminidase inhibitor drugs.Conclusions All 13 strains H9N2 viruses belongs to DK/HK/Y280/97 sub-lineage in Weining,Guizhou Province during 2015-2017,and their genetic sources are complex and diverse.The mutations on sites of stalk areas,potential N-glycosylation and sialic acid binding site areas are presented at different degrees.Hence,enhancing surveillance and controlling H9N2 avian influenza virus is necessary.

OBJECTIVE: To establish the quality standard of Tricyrtis maculata. METHODS: The character and microstructure of T. maculata were identified according to the method stated in 2015 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia. The contents of moisture, ash and extract were determined. TLC was used for qualitative identification of quercetin and nicotifiorin in samples. The contents of puerarin, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, nicotiflorin, ferulic acid, quercetin and kaempferol were determined by HPLC. RESULTS: The characters and microscopic identification had specificity. TLC spots of quercetin and nicotifiorin were clear and well-separated without interference from negative control. The water content, total ash content, acid insoluble ash content, alcohol soluble extract and water soluble extract for 10 batches of samples were 0.61%-1.89%,6.28%-8.88%,0.76%-1.79%,1.31%-2.00% and 9.39%-14.27%, respectively. The linear range of puerarin, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, nicotiflorin, ferulic acid, quercetin and kaeniphenol were 0.031 92-0.111 7 μg (r=0.999 6), 0.085 3-0.298 5 μg (r=0.999 5), 0.010 76-0.037 66 μg (r=0.999 8), 0.070 08- 0.245 3 μg (r=0.999 8),0.058 56-0.205 0 μg (r=0.999 4),0.009 860-0.033 88 μg (r=0.999 4), respectively. The quantitation limits were 1.06, 0.47, 0.75, 1.40, 1.20, 0.74 ng, and the detection limits were 0.36, 0.12, 0.30, 0.53, 0.60, 0.31 ng, respectively. RSDs of precision, stability and repeatability tests were all less than 2%. The average recoveries were 101.54%, 102.10%, 101.46%, 103.35%, 99.36% and 96.85%, respectively; RSDs were 1.76%, 1.68%, 1.56%, 1.26%, 0.91% and 1.96%, respectively (n=6); the results of the content were 0.017-0.047, 0.042-0.140, 0.003 8-0.015 0, 0.049-0.180, 0.024- 0.091, 0.003 9-0.011 0 mg/g.
