Four natures are cold, hot, warm and cool natures of drug, it is the one of main theoretical bases for explaining the effects of traditional Chinese drugs. According to the natures of traditional Chinese drugs, the compatible modality of traditional Chinese drugs can be classified into two types: the compatibility of drugs with same natures and the compatibility of drugs with different natures. Both of them can play the actions of strengthening potency of drugs, enlarging the treated scope, preventing adverse reactions and bringing about new functions.

To study the in situ intestinal absorption kinetics and compatibility influence of peimine and peiminine in rats, the absorption of peimine and peiminine in small intestine (duodenum, jejunum and ileum) and colon of rats was investigated using in situ single-pass perfusion method and the drug content was measured by HPLC-ELSD. Perfusion rate, pH, concentration of drug, gender and bile duct ligation can significantly affect the absorption of peimine and peiminine, the Ka, and Papp values in the condition of pH 6.8 and pH 7.4 had significant difference (P<0.01), as drug concentration irlcreased, the absorption parameters of peimine and peiminine decreased, Ka and Papp between low concentrations and middle concentrations was significant difference (P<0.01). Verapamil can not affect Ka and Papp of peimine and peiminine which are in the extract (P> 0.05). Bitter almonds and licorice can significantly reduce the absorption of peimine and peiminine with the usual dose (P<0.01), extracted separately and together had no significant difference on Ka and Papp (P> 0.05). Experimental results show that the absorption features of peimine and peiminine are basically the same, both of them could be absorbed at all segments of the intestine in rats and had no special absorption window, and with significant differences between male and female individuals. The absorption of peimine and peiminine complies with the active transport and facilitated diffusion in the general intestinal segments. Bitter almond and licorice can reduce the intestinal absorption rate ofpeimine and peiminine.

To establish an LC-MS/MS method for simultaneous determination of peimine and peiminine in rat plasma after oral and intravenous administration of Fritillaria thunbergii Miq. extract, the pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated as well. Peimine, peiminine and internal standard carbamazepine were extracted from plasma with liquid-liquid extraction by ethyl acetate, then separated on a Luna C18 column by using acetonitrile-water containing 10 mmol x L(-1) ammonium formate (35:65), as mobile phase. The electrospray ionization (ESI) source was applied and operated in positive ion mode. Peimine was detected at m/z 432.4 --> 414.4, peiminine at m/z 430.4 --> 412.4 and carbamazepine (IS) at 237.1 --> 194.2. The linear calibration curves were obtained at the concentration range of 0.8-800 ng x mL(-1) for peimine and peiminine. The extraction recoveries were 94.1%-105.3% and 85.8%-98.6%, respectively. The precisions, accuracy and stability of the analytes meet the requirements. The method was shown to be effective, convenient, and suitable for simultaneous pharmacokinetic study of peimine and peiminine in rat.

Objective To evaluate the effect of two different venous drainage patterns on the prognosis of fetal pulmonary sequestration( PS) . Methods Sixty cases of fetal PS with confirmed venous drainage diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound were retrospectively analyzed . Changes of the volumes of PS lesions and the clinical outcomes were compared between two different venous drainage patterns . Results Among the total 64 cases ,34 cases were pulmonary venous drainage and 30 cases were systemic venous drainage . There was no case combined with any abnormality in pulmonary venous drainage group;whereas , 6 cases combined with other abnormalities in systemic venous drainage group ,between which significant difference was noted( P =0 .02) . In pulmonary venous drainage group ,there was no significant difference in the volumes of PS lesions between at 20-24 weeks′gestational age(WGA) and at 24+1 -30 WGA( P >0 .05) ;but not between at 24+1 -30 WGA or at 20 -24 WGA and at 30+1 -39 WGA ( P < 0 .05) . However ,in the systemic venous drainage group ,the volumes of PS lesions were stable at these three stages ( P > 0 .05) . Postnatal respiratory symptoms and postnatal surgery rates were similar between the two groups( P > 0 .05) . Conclusions PS with systemic venous drainage is more likely combined with other abnormalities than PS with pulmonary venous drainage . The lesion volumes of PS with pulmonary venous drainage decreas remarkably during the middle‐late pregnancy . Nevertheless ,the clinical postnatal outcomes are both favorable in the two groups .

Objective To investigate antenatal sonographic findings of the fetal isolated callosal hypoplasia and partial agenesis. Methods A retrospective study was performed on the cases of hypoplasia and partial agenesis of the corpus callosum suspected at antenatal sonographic basic examination from 2006 to 2014, all the cases were confirmed by pathology or magnetic resonance imaging(MRI). For the surviving infants, clinical follow-up had been performed to assess the developmental outcome. Results Thirteen fetuses suspected with callosal underdevelopment were identified at a median gestational age of 31 (range, 18~39) weeks. Ten cases were confirmed by autopsy and MRI, including 9 with partial agenesis and 1 with hypoplasia. Among the 10 fetuses confirmed with isolated partial agenesis or with hypoplasia, incidence of the absent cavum septum pellucidum was 20%, the ‘Tear-drop’ lateral ventricles was 40%, the upward displacement of the third ventricle was 80%. Pregnancy was terminated electively in 8 of the cases with partial agenesis or with hypoplasia. Among the 2 surviving infants, apparent normal development was observed in only one case, but we lost the follow-up of this case at two-year-old. Six fetuses received the chromosome identification, almost all of them were normal. Conclusion The basic ultrasonic examination is feasible for the antenatal diagnosis of isolated callosal underdevelopment the. The indirect classical signs of callosal partial agenesis and hypoplasia are different with those of complete agenesis of the corpus callosum. The incidences of the‘Tear-drop’ lateral ventricles and the upward displacement of the third ventricle are higher than the absence of CSP. The chromosome of isolated callosal partial agenesis or hypoplasia is normal, however, the prognosis is uncertain.
