OBJECTIVE:To determinate the contents of quercetin and kaempferol in Platycladus orientalis carbonisatus by RP - HPLC.METHODS:The determination was performed on Lichrospher C_(18)(250 mm?4.6 mm,5?m) with mobile phase consisted of methanol-0.2%phosphoric acid solution(55:45) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL?min~(-1).The column temperature was set at 25℃and the detection wavelength was set at 368 nm.RESULTS:The linear ranges of quercetin and kaempferol were 0.24~1.68?g(r =0.999 9) and 0.052~0.624?g(r = 0.999 8),respectively.The average recovery rates of quercetin and kaempferol were 100.91%(RSD = 0.80%,n = 6)and 99.59%(RSD = 1.07%,n = 6),respectively.CONCLUSION:The method is simple,accurate,reproducible,and applicable for the quality control of Platycladus orientalis carbonisatus.

Objective To evaluate the biological effect of a kind of protective cover against inhalation of depleted uranium (DU) dust particles. Methods At 1 and 3 d after inhalation of DU dust particles, uranium concentrations in the blood, lung, bronchia, kidney, and liver of the rats in the protected group and non protected group were measured and the efficiency of protection was calculated. Results Uranium levels in all tissues and fluids of the rats in the protected group decreased significantly to 71.2%-96.1% as compared with those in non protected group. Conclusion The protective cover is effective to reduce the harm due to inhalation of DU dust particles.
