Object To separate and characterize the chemical constituents of a plateau plant Halenia elliptica D Don Methods Elemental analysis (EA), 1HNMR and 13 CNMR, MS, FTIR and UV spectrometry, as well as DSC were employed Results Two needle shaped crystal chemical constituents obtained from H elliptica were confirmed to be 1 hydroxy 3, 7, 8 trimethoxyxanthone and 1, 7 dihydroxy 3, 8 dimethoxyxanthone, respectively Conclusion This is the first time for these two chemical constituents to be separated from this Tibetan medicinal plant

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect and cost of Multidimensional iron oral liquid and Polysaccharide iron com-plex capsules in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy. METHODS:By retrospective study,80 cases of iron de-ficiency anemia during pregnancy were divided into control group and trial group in accordance to different therapy plans,with 40 cases in each group. Control group was given Multidimensional iron oral liquid orally,10 ml each time,bid,after breakfast and supper,for consecutive 4 weeks;trial group was given Polysaccharide iron complex capsules orally,0.30 g each time,qd,for con-secutive 4 weeks. Clinical efficacy,erythrocyte related lab indexes,satisfactory rate and ADR were compared between 2 groups, and cost-effectiveness analysis was adopted for economic evaluation. RESULTS:The total effective rate of experimental group was 95.0%,which was higher than 85.0% of control group,but without statistical significance(P>0.05);hemoglobin level,erythro-cyte count and average volume of erythrocyte of trial group were significantly higher or more than control group,and satisfactory rate(95.0% vs. 65.0%)were significantly higher than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05);no obvious ADR was found in 2 groups. Total cost of trial group and control group were 243.60 and 166.32 yuan,and cost-effective ratio was 2.56 and 1.96;incremental cost-effective ratio was 7.73. Results of sensitivity analysis were same to the result. CONCLUSIONS:Both Multi-dimensional iron oral liquid and Polysaccharide iron complex capsules can improve anemia in patients with iron deficiency anemia during pregnancy. Polysaccharide iron complex capsules show better therapeutic efficacy and satisfactory rate,but it is relatively ex-pensive. Drugs should be selected according to economic situation.

Brucellosis is a common global zoonotic disease caused by Brucella, which has a variety of clinical manifestations. Fever, sweating and musculoskeletal pains appear in partial brucellosis patients. The most common complication of brucellosis is osteoarthritis, including spondylitis, sacroiliitis, and peripheral arthritis such as osteomyelitis, bursitis, and tenosynovitis. The spine and sacroiliac are the most frequent affected sites of brucellosis osteoarthritis; however, the reports of peripheral arthritis such as osteomyelitis, bursitis, and tenosynovitis are low. Early and proper treatment is vital for patients with brucellosis osteoarthritis. The therapy of drugs and surgery are two current options for treatment of brucellosis osteoarthritis. In this review, clinical manifestations and treatments of brucellosis osteoarthritis are discussed in detail, which are helpful to deepen clinicians' knowledge in brucellosis.
