OBJECTIVE:To establish the quality standard of Fufang jinqin tablet. METHODS:TLC was conducted for the qual-itative identification of Cortex phellodendri and Lonicera japonica in the preparation. And HPLC was conducted for the content de-termination of baicalin;the column was Zorbax Eclipse XDB-C18 with mobile phase of methanol-0.2% phosphoric acid water(40:60,V/V)at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min,the detection wavelength was 280 nm,column temperature was 35 ℃,and the injection vol-ume of 10 μl. RESULTS:C. phellodendri and L. japonica of TLC showed clear spots and good separation. The linear range of ba-icalin was 0.533-4.264 μg(r=0.999 9);RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were lower than 2%;recovery was 96.95%-99.70%(RSD=1.18%,n=6). CONCLUSIONS:The standard can be used for the quality control of Fufang jinqin tablet.

Based on the superior optical properties and the advantage of surface-modifiable capacity,the novel fluorescent nanoparticle quantum dots can conjugate with many kinds of biomolecules or chemical materials to form target quantum dots,which play an important role in biomedicine.The target ability this probe possesses offers a more accurate tumor localization,and minimizes the side effect to normal cells while strengthens the curative effect.At present,the probe makes a great progress in many areas,such as cell and molecule recognition,imaging in vivo,biosensing and diseases treating.

AIM: To investigate the role of K + channels in the decreased hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction(HPV) in chronic hypoxic rats. METHODS: Blockers of three kinds of K + channels, 4-AP(voltage dependent K + channel blocker), TEA(Ca 2+ activated K + channel blocker)\, GLIB(ATP sensitive K + channel blocker) were used in isolated perfused rat lungs to detect the role of K + channels in HPV. RESULTS: In normal rats, 4-AP and TEA, but not GLIB, both elicited a significant increase in pulmonary artery baseline pressure, and also potentiated the acute hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. In chronic hypoxic rats, the HPV is significantly decreased, while 4-AP, TEA, GLIB all elicited a significant but smaller increase in pulmonary artery baseline pressure. Additionally, all these three blockers potentiated the HPV stronger in chronic hypoxic rats than in control rats. CONCLUSION: The opening of Kv, K Ca , K ATP might modulate the hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction in isolated rat lungs, and the increase in this modulation by potassium channel in chronic hypoxic rats might play a role in its decrease in HPV.

Objective:To simultaneously determine the contents of asarinin, prim-O-glucosylcimifugin and 5-O-methylvisammio-side in Xinqin granules. Methods:An HPLC method was used. The determination was performed on a ZORBAX Eclipse XDB-C18 col-umn(150 mm ×4.6mm,5 μm) with the mobile phase consisting of menthol (A)-water (B) with gradient elution. The flow rate was 1. 0 ml·min-1 . The column temperature was 30℃. The detection wavelength was set at 254 nm from 0 to 30 min and 287nm from 30 to 55 min. The injection volume was 10μl. Results:The linear range of prim-O-glucosylcimifugin, asarinin and 5-O-methylvisammio-side was 10.210-163.400 μg·ml-1(r=0.999 7),10.160-162.600 μg·ml-1(r=0.999 8) and 5.015-80.240 μg·ml-1(r=0. 999 8), respectively. The average recovery was 100. 30%(RSD=1. 6%, n=6),101. 53%(RSD=1. 1%,n=6) and 101. 12%(RSD=1. 2%, n=6), respectively. Conclusion: The method is simple and accurate, which can be used in the quality control of Xinqin granules.

Objective To investigate the effects of different concentrations of crocin on receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclastogenesis using the monocyte-macrophage cell line RAW264.7. Methods The monocyte-macrophage cell line RAW264.7 was cultured routinely.After treatment with 0,6.25,12.5,25, 50,100,200 and 400 μmol/L crocin,cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)assay was used to analyze the viability of RAW264.7 cells to screen out the appropriate experimental concentration. RAW264.7 cells were induced by RANKL (100 ng/L) to form osteoclasts. After treated with 0, 12.5, 50 and 100 μmol/L crocin respectively, the number of osteolasts was counted by tatrate resistant acid phosphatasec (TRAP) staining. Real-time PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of calcitonin receptor(CTR),nuclear factor of active T cells 1(NFATC1),C-fos and TRAP.Results No significant effects of crocin (within 0-100 μmol/L) were found on the viability of RAW264.7 cells (P>0.05). However, When crocin concentration was over 100 μmol/L,the cell proliferation was decreased,and which showed a significant inhibitory effect on proliferation (P<0.05). Thus, 0-100 μmol/L crocin was selected as the experiment concentration. The amount of differentiated osteolasts and the expression levels of CTR,NFATC1,C-fos and TRAP mRNA were decreased significantly with the increased concentrations of crocin(P<0.05).Conclusion At a certain concentration(0-100 μmol/L),the higher levels of crocin could inhibit RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis.

Objective To investigate the concentration of homocysteine (Hcy) and related factors of hyperhomocyste-inemia (hHcy,Hcy≥15μmol/L) among non-hypertensive people aged between 40-70 in Tianjin. Methods Non-hyperten-sive community residents aged 40-70 years were enrolled randomly from May 2011 to December 2012 in six districts in Tian-jin. Plasma Hcy was assessed by enzyme cycling method. Factors related to hHcy were analyzed in multivariate logistic re-gression models. Results Our study included 874 participants (mean age is 57 ± 6 years, 25.5%of all are males) and the con-centration of Hcy was 12.0 μmol/L. The OR (odds ratio)(95%CI; P)for hHcy were 1.048(1.015,1.083; P=0.004), 4.191 (2.359,7.448;P<0.001), 1.280(0.896,1.829;P=0.175), 0.460(0.259,0.816;P=0.008)respectively for age, male, smoking, exercise, and the odd ratio for hHcy were 0.290(0.179, 0.469;P<0.001), 0.168(0.092,0.309;P<0.001)for consumption of vegetable and fruits 250-500 g/d and>500g/d, compared with<250 g/d. Conclusion Male and age were adverse factors for hHcy, consumption of vegetable and fruits, and exercise were positive factors.
