Objective To establish the standard for the quality control of Compound Huangqin Tablets. Methods The identification of Radix Scutellariae,Rhizoma Polygoni Cuspidati and Caulis Mahoniae in compound Huangqin tablets were carried out by TLC.The content of baicalin in the preparation was determined by HPLC.Chromatocolumn was adopted,methanol-0.4 %H3PO4(50 ∶50) used as the mobile phase,flowrate 1.4mL/min,column temperature at 40 ℃and detection wavelength 278 nm . Results The TLC spots were highly clear without the interference of negative control and were reproductive. The calibration curve for baicalin was linear (r=0.9996) in the range of 0.12～0.72 ?g and the mean recovery was 97.17 %and RSD=1.78 %(n=5). Conclusion This method can be used for the quality control of Compound Huangqin Tablets.

Objective To establish a HPLC method for the determination of psoralen and bergapten in Ficus hirta Vahl.Methods A Merck-lichrospher C18(4 mm?250 mm,5 ?m)column was adopted.The mobile phase was acetonitrile-water(35∶65) with the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min.The column temperature was 35 ℃,and the detection wavelength was set at 222 nm.Results Psoralen's linearity was obtained in the range of 0.12 ?g～1.20 ?g(r=0.999 7),and bergapten's linearity in the range of 0.03 ?g～0.30 ?g(r=0.999 5).Psoralen's average recovery was 100.9 %with RSD 2.9 %,and that of bergapten was 99.6 %with RSD 1.9 %.Conclusion This is the first report of simultaneous determination of psoralen and bergapten in Ficus hirta Vahl.by HPLC,and the results showed the method is accurate,reproducible,and can serve as quality evaluation method for Ficus hirta Vahl.

Objective To establish the HPLC determination method of chlorogenic acid for developing the quality standard of Yinqiao Jiedu Oral Liquid.Methods HPLC method was performed on an E.Merck LiChrospher 100RP-18 column(250 mm? 4 mm,5 ? m).The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrle and o.4 % phosphoric acid(10:100).The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min,column temperature was 30 ℃,and the detection wavelength was 327 nm.Results Chlorogenic acid was linear at the range of 0.12～ 0.63 ? g(r=0.999 6),the average recovery was 96.68 %,and RSD was 1.56 % .Conclusion This method is accurate,reliable,reproducible,and can provide evidence for the quality control of Yinqiao Jiedu Oral Liquid.

Objective To investigate the effect of serum-deprivation on the changes of [ Ca2+ ] i and the protein release of S100A13 and fibroblast growth factor 1 ( FGF-1 ) in thyroid cancer TT cell,and to reveal the role of Ca2+in the protein release of S100Al3 and FGF-1.Methods The protein expressions of FGF-1 and S100A13 in TT cells under serum-deprivation were detected by Western blot.The released FGF-1 protein from TT cells in the supernatant fluid was detected by ELISA.Realtime dynamic examinations on the change of 1 h [ Ca2+ ] i in TT cells under serum-deprivation were detected by confocal laser scanning microscopy.Then,the effect of EGTA( 2.5 mmol/ L),BAPTA-AM (2.5 μmol/L)on distributions of the fluorescence of S100AI 3 and FGF-1 in TT cells under serumdeprivation for6 h were detected by indirect immunofluorescence.Results The expressions of FGF-1 and S100A13 in TT cells after serum-deprivation for4 h and 6 h were reduced( P＜0.05 or P＜0.01 ),but the released FGF-1 protein from TT cells in the supernatant fluid was elevated ( P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Confocal laser scanning of Ca2+ imaging indicated that [ Ca2+ ] i of serum-deprivation TT cells maintained the relative stabilization within 23 win,but the rapid rise of [ Ca2+ ] i achieved peak value 1.6 μmol/L after 30 min,and remained stable for about 17 win,and thereafter 40 win slowly dropped to a low level From 40 win to 60 win the [ Ca2+ ] i was about 0.3-0.6 μ mol/L.The average [ Ca2+ ] i was higher than that in normal group,EGTA group,and BAPTA-AM group within 1 h.The protein expressions of S100A13 and FGF-1 did not drop obviously in EGTA group and BAPTA-AM group.Conlusion The release of S100A13 and FGF-1 from TT cell under serum-deprivation is possibly related with the change of [ Ca2+ ]i.Both Ca2+-chelating agents EGTA and BA PTA-AM are able to inhibit the rise of [ Ca2+ ] i and release of S100A 13 and FGF-1 from TT cells under serum-deprivation.

Objective To establish the quality standard for Tiaojing Pills. Methods Radix Angelicae Sinensis and Rhizoma Chuanxiong in Tiaojing Pills were identified by TLC and the content of paeoniflorin was determined by HPLC. Results Radix Angelicae Sinensis and Rhizoma Chuanxiong could be identified by TLC. Paeoniflorin showed a good linearity in the range of 0.086 88～0.868 8 ?g,r=0.999 6.The average recovery was 101.28 %,and RSD was 1.31 %. Conclusion The established methods are simple,convenient and reproducible,and can be used for the quality control of Tiaojing Pills.
