AIM: To study the quality standard for Shuwei Capsule (Resina Ferulae, Rhizoma Corydalis, Radix Aucklandiae, etc.). METHODS: Radix Aucklandiae, Rhizoma Cyperi were identified by TLC, and ferulic acid was determined by HPLC. RESULTS: TLC spots developed were fairly clear, and the blank test showed no interference. Ferulic acid showed a good linear relationship in the concentration range of 0.007～0.056?g and the average recovery was up to 98.51%, RSD was 2.64%. CONCLUSION: The method is simple with strong specificity and good reproducibility, and can be used as the quality control of this preparation.

Objective To establish and evaluate chemotherapeutic phlebitis model rats induced by vinorelbine via the dorsalis pedis vein.Methods Rats were divided randomly into control and 4 different concentration of vinorelbine-induced model groups.Control rats were injected with 0.1 mL normal saline via the dorsalis pedis vein of the hind limb,while other rats were injected with different concentrations of vinorelbine(2,3,4,5 mg/mL),as above.General observations were performed and the hind limb volume was measured daily for 7 consecutive days to calculate the swelling rate.The rats were then killed and histological changes in the dorsalis pedis vein were observed by hematoxylin and eosin staining.Microstructural changes on the surface of the vascular endometrium were observed by scanning electron microscopy.Results Injection of 2,3,4,5 mg/mL vinorelbine via the dorsalis pedis vein significantly induced hind limb swelling in a concentration-dependent manner,peaking on day 3 in each group.The phlebitis rates on day 7 were 50%in the 2 mg/mL group and 83.3%in the 3 mg/mL group.Phlebitis was also induced in the 4 mg/mL and 5 mg/mL groups,including grade Ⅲ in 66.6%and grade Ⅳ in 83.3%.Histopathology showed inflammatory cell infiltration,wall thickening,lumen stenosis,and thrombosis in the tissues surrounding the veins.Scanning electron microscopy showed destruction of tight junctions of venous endothelial cells,and a rough surface of the vascular lining,resultsing in blood cell adhesion.Conclusions Injection of 0.1 mL of 3～5 mg/mL vinorelbine via the dorsalis pedis vein could induce red,swollen,and cord-like veins,as well as infiltration of inflammatory cells around the vein,thickened vein walls,lumen stenosis,and thrombosis.In addition,the surface of the venous intima was rough and adhered to numerous blood cells.All these features are consistent with those of clinical chemotherapeutic phlebitis in terms of the symptoms and pathological structure.

OBJECTIVE：To establish the method for content determination of 6 components in Fuzheng guben granules ，such as 2，3，5，4′-tetrahydroxystilbene glucoside ，baicalin，icariin，scutellarin，baicalein and wogonin. METHODS ：HPLC method was adopted. The determination was performed on Dikma Diamonsil C 18 column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile- 0.1％ phosphoric acid aqueous solution （gradient elution ）at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelengths were set at 275 nm （0-8 min），320 nm（8-9 min）and 275 nm（9-33 min）. The column temperature was set at 25 ℃，and sample size was 10 μL. With baicalin as reference material ，the relative corr ection factors （fk/s） of other five components were calculated by multi-point correction method and slope correction method ；the retention time difference method was used to locate the chromatographic peaks ； the calculation values obtained by above 2 QAMS were compared with measured values of external standard method. RESULTS ： The linear range of 2，3，5，4′-tetrahydroxystilbene glucoside ，baicalin，icariin，scutellarin，baicalein and wogonin were 0.053-2.12， 0.163-6.52，0.059-2.36，0.021 6-0.864，0.03-1.2，0.021-0.84 μg（r＞0.999），respectively. RSDs of precision ，stability（12 h）and reproducibility tests were all lower than 3％. Average recoveries were 98.72％-99.82％（RSDs were 0.89％-1.24％，n＝9）. Using baicalin as reference material ，fk/s of multi-point correction method for 2，3，5，4′-tetrahydroxystilbene glucoside ，icariin，scutellarin， baicalein and wogonin were 1.172，0.528，1.479，1.820 and 2.534，respectively；fk/s of slope correction method were 1.234， 0.550，1.559，1.939，2.664. RSDs of 6 components in 10 batches of Fuzheng guben granules by 3 methods were 0.29％-2.77％ （n＝10），respectively. Pearson correlation coefficient was not lower than 0.999 9（P＜0.001）in measured values between QAMS and external standard method. CONCLUSIONS ：QAMS method is established successfully for simultaneous determination of 6 components in Fuzheng guben granules.

OBJECTIVE：To study the improvement effects of isopimpinelline on p-chlorophenylalanine（PCPA）-induced pineal injury model rats and its effect on expression of biological clock gene. METHODS ：Totally 60 rats were divided into blank control group（2％ polysorbate solution），model control group （2％ polysorbate solution），positive control group （melatonin，10 mg/kg） and isopimpinelline high-dose ，medium-dose and low-dose groups （3，1.5，0.75 mg/kg）. Except for blank control group ，rats in other groups were given PCPA intraperitoneally （450 mg/kg）to establish pineal injury model. After modeling finished ，they were given relevant medicine intragastrically ，once a day ，for consecutive 7 d. On the 6th day of administration ，the sleep latency and sleep duration of rats in each group were investigated by pentobarbital sodium coordination sleep test ；after last administration ， ELISA assay was used to determine the serum level of melatonin in rats. Fluorescence microscope and electron microscope were used to observe the pathological tissue and cell ultrastructure changes of the pineal gland. RT-qPCR was used to detect the mRNA expressions of biological clock gene Clock，Bmal1，Per1，Per2，Per3，Cry1，Cry2 in pineal gland of rats. RESULTS ：Compared with blank control group ，model control group had significantly longer sleep latency （P＜0.05）；serum melatonin ，mRNA expressions of Bmal1 and Per1 in pineal gland were significantly decreased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）while mRNA expression of Per3 was increased significantly （P＜0.05）. The pineal gland cell arrangement disorder ，nuclear pyknosis ，vacuolar degeneration increased and cell number decreased significantly ；mitochondria swollen ，cristae broken and pyknosis were observed. Compared with model control group ，the sleep latency of isopimpinelline high-dose group was shortened significantly （P＜0.05），sleep duration time was prolonged significantly （P＜0.05）；the levels of melatonin in serum ，mRNA expressions of Clock，Bmal1， Per1，Cry1 and Cry2 in pineal gland of rats were increased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. In isopimpinelline medium-dose group，the sleep latency was shortened significantly （P＜0.05）；the levels of melatonin in serum and mRNA expressions of Clock， Bmal1，Per1，Cry1，Cry2 in pineal gland were increased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01），while mRNA expression of Per3 was decreased significantly （P＜0.05）. In isopimpinelline low-dose group ，the levels of mRNA expressions of Clock，Bmal1，Per2 and Cry2 were increased significantly （P＜0.05），while mRNA expression of Per3 was decreased significantly （P＜0.05）. Cell arrangement disorder was improved and nuclear pyknosis vacuole degeneration was decreased to some extent in isopimpinelline groups；mitochondria swelled ，cristae fractured ，and pyknosis decreased to some extent. CONCLUSIONS ：Isopimpinelline can improve PCPA-induced pineal gland injury in rats ；it can up-regulate the expressions of positive regulators Clock，Bmal1 and negative regulators Per1，Per2，Cry1，Cry2，while down-regulate the expression of negative regulator Per3.
