Objective To study the chemical constituents of Phlomis medicinalis.Methods The constituents were isolated and purified by various modern chromatography techniques and the structures were elucidated by physicochemical properties and spectral analyses.Results Ten compounds were obtained and elucidated as 1-dehydroxyshanzhigenin methyl ester(Ⅰ),notohamosin A(Ⅱ),verbascoside(Ⅲ),3,4-dihydroxyphenyl ethanol(Ⅳ),succinic acid(Ⅴ),sucrose(Ⅵ),2,6-difructose(Ⅶ),butyl-?-D-fructopyanoside(Ⅷ),D-glucose(Ⅸ),and D-fructose(Ⅹ).Conclusion All the compounds are isolated from this plant for the first time,compound Ⅱ is obtained from the plants of Phlomis Linn.for the first time,and compound Ⅰ is a new one.

AIM: To study Cordyceps sinesis and its cultured mycelia by HPLC.METHODS: An HPLC established for the fingerprints of cordyceps sinensis and its cultured mycelia was performed on an Agilent C18(4.6 mm ? 25 mm,5 ?m)as column and acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid solution in gradient as mobile phase.The flow rate was 0.5 mL/min,and the detection wavelength was set at 260 nm.RESULTS: There were 6 common peaks in HPLC fingerprint of Cordyceps corensis and its cultured mycelia,three of which were determined as uracil,adenosine,cordycepin.CONCLUSION: The method can be used for the study of fingerprints of cultured mycelia.

Objective To investigate the chemical constituents of Balanophora simaoensis. Methods Chromatography and spectra were used to isolate the constituents and elucidate their structures. Results Four compounds were isolated from whole plant of B. simaoensis and elucidated as methylconiferin (Ⅰ), butylconiferin (Ⅱ), 4-O-?-D-glucopyranosyl confieryl aldehyde (Ⅲ), and brevifolin (Ⅳ), respectively. Conclusion Butylconiferin is a new compound.

Nephrocalcinosis is often accompanied by kidney stone disease. In recent years, more and more nephrocalcinosis has been found to be caused by a monogenic disease, and its pathogenesis has not been fully elucidated. With the development of molecular genetics, more than 30 genes have been found to be the causative genes of nephrocalcinosis. At the same time, with the widespread development of genetic testing technology, more patients have received early diagnosis and timely intervention. This article reviews the clinical and basic research progress of monogenic nephrocalcinosis.

Objective: To determine the contents of cinobufagin and resibufogenin in Qianglijiuxin Dripping Pills. Methods: The HPLC method was used at Kromasil C 18 column of 250mm?4.6mm, 5?m, 0.5% Dipotassium Hydrogen Phosphate Acetonitrile (50∶50) as the mobile phase, 1.0mL/min as the flow rate at detection wavelength of 296nm. Results: For cinobufagin, the linear range was 0.67?g～4.7?g and the average recovery rate was 97.78% with RSD=1.2%. For resibufogenin, the linear range was 0.33?g～2.3?g and the average recovery was rate 99.61% with RSD=2.0%.Conclusion: The method can be applied to content determination of cinobafagin and Resibufogenin in Qianglijiuxin Dripping pills.

AIM: To affirm marker peaks for the fingerprint chromatography of Shengmai Injection. METHODS: LC-MS/MS method was used, with a Waters symmetryshield TM RP_ 18 column(4.6 mm?250 mm; 5.0 ?m), acetonitrile-water as a mobile phase, The detection wavelength was at 203 nm. Ion trap mass spectrum. RESULTS: Affirming marker peaks for fingerprint chromatography of Shengmai Injection and 10 marker peaks were affirmed. CONCLUSION: The method can affirm marker peaks for the fingerprint chromatography of Shengmai Injection. It is simple, accurate, and has practicality.

Objective: To establish a method for indentification of the podophyllum emodi species, Radix Clematis and Radix Gentiana species. Methods: HPLC/UV fingerprint analysis method of toxic ingredient podophyllotoxin and its derivatives were developed, and the method had been evaluated. Results: The methodological evaluation showed that this method had a good repeatability and reproducibility, and different samples had different HPLC fingerprints. Conclusion: This method can be used to differentiate podophyllum emodi from two commonly used medicinal herbs of a different genus but having similar appearance, Radix Clematis and Radix Gentiana.

Objective: To study the distribution of flavonoids among the plants for medicinal use of Selaginella . Methods: HPCE analysis was carried out on the ethyl acetate extracts of 18 Selaginella plants (from 11 species), using MECC separation model. Results: HPCE fingerprints of 18 Selaginella plants were established with quercetin as interanl standard and relative migration time and relative peak area as parameters. Conclusion: The contributions of flavonoids has not only generity, but also difference among the tested samples.
