Separation of complex mixtures needs more resolving power. In two dimensional liquid chromatography (2D LC), the sample is subjected to two different separation conditions or mechanisms, which significantly increases the peak capacity,resolving power and reduces peak overlap. Meanwhile, 2D separation is more reliable for peak i-dentification from run to run than single-dimension chromatography, because two independent elution times are ob-tained for each peak. Among different 2D liquid chromatographic combinations/configurations, online comprehensive 2D-LC has appeared to be very attractive due to its high peak capacity, minimal sample loss, good reproducibility, and easy to automation, especially for separation of very complex samples. The present review discusses the theoreti-cal aspects and hardware configuration of online 2D-LC, particularly online comprehensive 2D-LC. It highlights its concept, features, advantages, applications and prospective in TCM quality Control analysis.

Aim To examine the protective effects of allopregnanolone against seizure on different animal models.Methods　The protective effects of allopregnanolone against maximal electrical seizure (MES) and picrotoxin-induced seizure were studied in C57 mice 15 minutes after vehicle or drug intraperitoneal administration.Results　In the MES test, we found that pretreatment with the phenobarbital or allopregnanolone produced a dose-dependent protective effect against seizure. The potency (ED50 value) of phenobarbital in the MES test was 2.40 mg·kg-1, with 95% confidence interval range from 1.22 to 4.72 mg·kg-1. The potency (ED50 value) of allopregnanolone in the MES test was 0.086 mg·kg-1, with 95%confidence interval range from 0.037 to 0.201 mg·kg-1, which was significantly higher than that of phenobarbital (P<0.01). The combination study of half ED50 values of phenobarbital and allopregnanolone resulted in a 80% of protective effect in MES test, which was higher than 50% produced by either phenobarbital or allopregnanolone at their ED50 values respectively. This result indicated that there was a synergism between phenobarbital and allopregnanolone in their anticonvulsant activities. In the picrotoxin test, we found that pretreatment with the allopregnanolone also produced a dose-dependent protective effect against picrotoxin-induced seizure. The potency of allopregnanolone in the picrotoxin seizure test was 0.123 mg·kg-1, with 95% confidence interval range from 0.058 to 0.263 mg·kg-1.Conclusion　Allopregnanolone(ip) could protect different seizures in a dose-dependent manner,had a higher potency than phenobarbital,and had synergism with phenobarbital in the MES test.

Medulloblastoma was a common malignant, invasive neoplasm of the central nervous system occurring in children. This disease had the characteristics of easy recurrence and the prognosis remained relatively poor, which heavily influenced healthy and quality of life of children. In recent years, advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques such as diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)and 1H- magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H- MRS) were the new noninvasive technique of diagnostic imaging to be used in the diagnosis and prognosis of medulloblastoma, which showed very significant clinical value and made some new progress. In this study, we talked about the DWI, DTI and 1H-MRS used in medulloblastoma.

Coix seed has anti-tumor effect and the anti-tumor activity composition is coix seed oil. Researches show that inducing cancer cell apoptosis and angiogenesis inhibition and regulation of the immune and analgesic function are the major roles of coix seed oil. Clinical researches prove that the effect can be increased and the life quality of lung cancer patients can be improved and the survival time can be prolonged when coix seed oil is used to treating lung cancer combined with Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy. So it is widely used in the treatment of lung cancer.
