Objective To study the optimum conditions of extraction and ? - cyclodextrin inclusion for the volatile oil from Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Rhizoma Chuanxiong and Cortex Cinnamomi in Shaofu Zhuyu Tablets. Methods The extraction conditions were evaluated by the ultimate oil extract ratio with single- factor analysis, and the inclusion technology were optimized by the inclusion output ratio and oil- bearing ratio in the inclusion with orthogonal test. Results The optimum conditions for extraction were as follows: smashing the medicinal material into coarse powder (through 10- mesh screen), adding 8 times of the water (mwater ∶ mpander=8 ∶ 1), extracting oil for 4 hours. The best conditions for inclusion were as: the ratio of Oil and ? - cyclodextrin being 1 mL ∶ 8g, and stirring for 2 hours at 50 ℃ . Conclusion The extraction and inclusion conditions in this study are optimal with high oil extract rate, reasonable inclusion process, and minimum cost.

Objective To investigate the changes of the shear wave velocities on thyroid tissues in patients with Graves disease(GD) and its correlation with thyrotropin (TSH).Methods Forty GD patients and 30 health adults who underwent an ultrasound-based acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) technique,the shear wave velocity of thyroid tissues was obtained using virtual touch tissue quantification (VTQ) of ARFI technique,and the changes of the shear wave velocities on thyroid tissues with GD patients and its correlation with the serum TSH level were analyzed.Results The shear wave velocities of thyroid tissues in patients with GD was lower than that of normal,thas were significant difference( P ＜0.05),but there were no significant differences among different locations in GD patients( P ＞0.05).The shear wave velocities of thyroid tissues were correlated with the serum TSH level in patients with GD,the correlation coefficient was 0.707.Conclusions The shear wave velocity may be considered as a helpful index in diagnosing GD and indirectly reflect the serum TSH level,provide some reference for therapy of the GD.
