The geo-herbalism of Cangzhu, Atractylodes lancea (Thunb.) DC. , was studied for itsstrict quality control. Samples of typical and representative populations of geo-herbal and non-geo herbalorigin were collected, examined and cultivated through field work. Volatile oils from samples of varioushabitats were determined by GC/MS, and their respective bacteriostatic minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC)determined. Results of the study showed that both the size of capitulum and cleft on the leaves var-ied greatly even in species of the same population. The main components in their volatile oil also variedgreatly with Maocangzhu (MCZ) contains atractylone (29.54%) and atractylodin (17.82%); that of Nan-cangzhu (NCZ) contains hinesol (61.86%) and β-eudesmol (19.79%), and Baicangzhu (BCZ) cantains βeudesmol or mixture of β-eudesmol and atractylone (over 30%). Volatile oils of speciaes from Luotina,Taibai, and Huanglong showed potent bacteriostatic activity against Streptococcus hemolyticus (SH), com-parable to penicillin or streptomycin. In conclusion, A. lancea is a polymorphic complex greatly influencedby geographic environment and a reasonable proposal is to name them by geo-herbal names such as: MCZas A. lancea var. maoshanensis Hu et Feng; NCZ as A. lancea subsp. luotianensis Hu et Feng; and BCZ asA. lancea var. chinensis (Bunge) Kitam other than independent species as A. chinensis Bunge. It was in-correct to say that MCZ has no atractylone in its volatile oil and therefore differs from A. macrocephalaKoidz. (Baizhu). Inhibitory activity of the volatile oils against SH and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) arealso quite different due to the habitats and imply that the rhizome from Luotian may be used to cure infec-tion diseases caused by SH and PA besides their traditional uses.

Objective To explore the application of low-dose prospective ECG-triggering dualsource CT (DSCT) angiography in infants and children with Kawasaki disease (KD).MethodsNineteen children diagnosed of Kawasaki disease underwent low-dose prospective ECG- triggering DSCT angiography (DSCTA) with free breathing and transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE).The overall imaging quality was graded on a five-point scale. Interobserver agreement in subjective image quality grading was assessed by Kappa statistics.The location,number and size of the aneurysms and dilations were recorded and compared with those of TTE.Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the agreement on measurements between DSCTA and TTE.The average effective dose of DSCTA in all 19 children was calculated.ResultsDSCTA was performed successfully in all 19 children.A total of 91.5 % (226/247) segments permitted visualization with diagnostic image quality. Fifteen patients were diagnosed with coronary artery lesions. A total of 28 aneurysms and 15 arterial aneurysmal dilations were detected by DSCTA,while 19 aneurysms and 13 arterial aneurysmal dilations were found by TTE.TTE failed to detect 9 aneurysms (2 in the distal right coronary artery,2 in the posterior descending artery,1 in the middle of left anterior descending artery,1 in the middle of left circumflex artery,2 in the distal of LCX and 1 in the obtuse marginal branch)and 2 arterial aneurysmal dilations (1 at the diagonal branch and 1 at obtuse marginal branch). The concordance of DSCTA and TTE in measurement of diameter and length of these aneurysms and aneurysmal dilatations are good (0.63 ± 0.20) and (0.58 ± 0.20) cm vs ( 1.49 ± 0.83 ) and ( 1.22 ± 0.66) cm ( r =0.989 and 0.965,P < 0.05 ).There was a good agreement on overall image quality ( Kappa =0.87 ). The mean effective dose was(0.24 ± 0.08) mSv.ConclusionProspective ECG-triggering DSCTA with very low effective radiation dose is safe,reliable and more sensitive than TTE on diagnosing of coronary artery lesions,especially in the distal lesions,in infants and children with KD.
