[Objective] To establish a method for the determination of ferulic acid and salvianolic acid B contents in Yixin Tablets. [Methods] High pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) was adopted. The chromatographic conditions were: 100-fold methanol as solvent, Bonification for 30min, gradient elution on C18 comlumn with acetonitrile and phosphoric acid as mobile phase, the detection wavelength being 320nm. [Results] Ferulic acid had a good linearity in the range of 0.024 32 - 0.729 60 ?g and r=0.999 9; salvianolic acid B had a good linearity in the range of 0.416 8-12.504 0?g and r = 0.9999; the average recovery rate was 100.95% in ferulic acid and 99.35% in salvianolic acid B respectively. [Conclusion] This method is simple, accurate and with good reproducibility.

Objective To observe the effects of color retention treatment on the preservation of medicinal plant herbariums, film-cover specimens and resin specimens. Methods Seven kinds of medicinal plants with different characters after color retention treatment were made into herbariums, film-cover specimens and resin specimens, and then the preservation results for the above three kinds of medicinal plant specimens with or without color retention treatment were compared. Results Resin and film-cover specimens without color retention treatment had better preservation results than herbariums. All of the three kinds of specimens with color retention treatment had better preservation results for the original color and shape than the specimens without color retention treatment. Conclusion Color retention treatment for the medicinal plants results into higher preservation quality of the herbariums and longer preservation period.

Objective To investigate the dynamic variation of flavonoids contents in the flowers of Citrus grandis at different flowering periods. Methods The content of total flavonoids in the flowers of Citrus grandis was determined by means of ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy ,and the contents of naringin and rhoifolin were determined by HPLC. Results The content of total flavonoids in the flowers during the flower withering period ,the young fruit period ,the blossom period,and the budding period was 306.90 mg.g-1,277.93 mg.g-1,215.55 mg.g-1 and 162.74 mg.g-1 respectively. The naringin content during the above four different periods was 246.31 mg.g-1,213.93 mg.g-1,175.94 mg.g-1 and 130.90 mg.g-1 respectively. The rhoifolin content during the four periods was unchanged. Conclusion The contents of total flavonoids and naringin in flowers of Citrus grandis during flower withering period are the highest.

Objective To investigate the influence of producing areas and sexual reproduction on the genetic features of Citrus grandis‘Tomentosa’. Methods The genetic distance in different species was counted,and the DNA fingerprint of germplasm resources of Citrus grandis ‘Tomentosa’ was established after random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis of Citrus grandis ‘Tomentosa’ and Citrus grandis (L.) Osbeck of various species from different producing areas. Results The genetic distance index D of Citrus grandis ‘Tomentosa’ and Citrus grandis (L.) Osbeck of various species from different producing areas was in the range of 0.01~0.64. Conclusion Sexual reproduction and the changes of producing areas can result in the genetic diversity of Citrus grandis ‘Tomentosa’.

Objective To establish the optimal extracted method for content dete rmination of naringin in Citrus grandis. Methods RP-HPLC was used to determinat e the content of naringin extracted with the above two methods from different ye ar samples of Citrus grandis. Results The average content extracted with ultraso nic extraction was 13.53 %,and the average content extracted with soxhlet extr action was 11.98 %,there being insignificant difference between the two method s. Conclusion The content of naringin extracted with ultrasonic extraction is mo re than that with the soxhlet extraction,which be receipted in Chinese pharmeco pia.

Objective To explore the genuineness of Exocarpium Citri Grandis(ECG) from Huazhou city of Guangdong province.Methods We used the method of high performance liquid chromatography to detect the naringin content in ECG from different producing areas of Huazhou city.Random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis was used for the examination of genetic distance,and plasma-atomic emission spectrometry for the detection of soil elemental abundance of 8 elements such as aluminium(Al),kalium(K),calcium(Ca),ferrum(Fe),titanium(Ti),boron(B),magnesium(Mg),and manganese(Ma).The correlation of the above three parameters was analyzed by statistical software SPSS 11.5.Results Ca abundance in the surface soil layer had an obvious effect on the content of naringin,and the difference of Al and K abundance in subsoil layer was correlated with the genetic distance of ECG.Conclusion The genuineness of ECG is probably related with the abundance of phlopopitum in the soil of producing areas of Huazhou city.

Purpose:
Fractionated radiotherapy as well as concomitant and adjuvant chemotherapy such astemozolomide for postoperative high-grade glioma (HGG) patients improves progressionfreesurvival and overall survival. Multiple factors such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy,tumor grade, residual tumor volume, and genetic modifications might play a role in the formationof cognitive impairment. The risk factors of cognitive impairment in postoperativepatients with HGG receiving radiotherapy and chemotherapy remains a concern in this population.The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors for cognitive impairment inpatients of postoperative HGG.
Materials and Methods:
A total of 229 patients with HGG who underwent surgery were analyzed. Cognitive impairmentwas defined as a decrease of Cognitive Assessment Montreal (MoCA)’s score in atleast two cognitive domains or any MoCA’s score of less than 26 points at the time of studycompared with baseline level. Multiple potential risk factors including methylated status ofthe O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter, glioma World HealthOrganization (WHO) grade, residual tumor volume, education, and sex were analyzed. Coxunivariate and multivariate regression analysis was used to detect the significant risk factorsfor cognitive impairment.
Results:
At the end of follow-up among the 229 patients, 147 patients (67%) developed cognitiveimpairment. 82 patients (36%) remained in normal cognitive condition. In multivariate analysis,unmethylated MGMT promoter (hazard ratio [HR], 1.679; 95% confidence interval [CI],1.212 to 2.326; p=0.002), glioblastoma (HR, 1.550; 95% CI, 1.117 to 2.149; p=0.009),and residual tumor volume > 5.58 cm3 (HR, 1.454; 95% CI, 1.047 to 2.020; p=0.026) wereindependent risk factors for cognitive impairment.
Conclusion
Methylated status of the MGMT promoter, glioma WHO grade, and residual tumor volumemight be risk factors for the cognitive impairment in postoperative patients with HGG.
