AIM: To select proper hydrolysis time to determine Ginkgo biloba flavonoids content. METHODS: Sample dissolved in 25mL MeOH-25%∶HCl(4∶1) mixture and was heated to hydrolyze for various time, then diluted. Flavonoids'content was determined by HPLC. The conditions were developed by Shimpack CLC-ODS(150mm?6mm) column using 0.4% phosphoric acid solution-Methanol(50∶50), the detective wavelength was at 360nm with quercetin、kaempferol and isorhamnetin as standards, temperature being 30℃. RESULTS: Contents of flavonoids of Ginkgo biloba leaves,Ginkgo biloba crude extracts and Ginkgo biloba refined extracts were highest in the hydrolysis time of 2.0h. Ginkgo biloba flavonoids can be completely hydrolyzed in 2.0h. CONCLUSION: The hydrolysis time of 2.0h is best.

Objective To explore the solid gastric emptying characteristics of awake gastroparesis Beagle. Methods A Beagle model of gastroparesis was established by truncal vagotomy combined injection glucagon. Solid gastric emptying of the Beagle under normal and gastroparesis were evaluated with ultrasound imaging,and compared with the results of radionuclide SPECT scintigraphy. Results The solid gastric emptying process of the Beagle was in accordance with modified power exponential models: Y =1-(1-e-kt)β, half time of the gastric emptying of gastroparesis Beagle was obviously longer than normal, there was a significant difference between the two situation ( P ＜ 0.05). Conclusions The solid gastric emptying characteristics of the gastroparesis Beagle has a stable mathematical expression.
