Based on the findings of the past five decades, the seasonal regularity of respiratory disease was summed leading to respiratory tract diseases were summed up.

This study was aimed to quickly and accurately identify different origins and categories of commodity edible bird’s nest (EBN) using DNA barcoding technique, in order to reveal its genetic differences. The total genomic DNA was isolated from the EBN samples. And Cytb gene sequences were amplified and sequenced by PCR. Then, 32 sequences were aligned and analyzed with DNAStar and MEGA 6.0 software. NJ phylogenetic tree was constructed. The nearest distance was calculated. The results showed that the original species of 32 samples of EBN were identified.Aerodramus fuciphagus was the genetic origin of 23 white nest samples. AndAerodramus fuciphagus germaniwas the genetic origin of the other 8 samples. The origin of black nest sample wasAerodramus maximusorAerodramus maximus lowi. It was concluded that the genetic origin of different EBN categories was variant. The identification of EBN’s origin species with Cytb sequence was quick and accurate.

Object To study the volatile constituents in the TCM preparation "Pao Chai Pill" made in Yangcheng (Guangzhou) (YPCP) in comparison with that made in Hongkong (HPCP) to gain some insight for the renewal of YPCP to a new dosage form Methods The volatile constituents were extracted with the aid of ultrasonic wave in organic solvent, and identified by GC-MS and elucidated on the standard MS data Their relative contents in percentage were calculated by area normalization Results 24 and 20 volatile constituents were identified in YPCP and HPCP respectively Conclusion YPCP showed more rich in sesquiterpene lactones but less sesquiterpenes and sesquiterpene alcohols than HPCP

Objective To optimize the soaking treatment method for increasing the germination of Amomum villosum Lour.(AVL) seeds.Methods Nine groups were set up: the control group(without soaking treatment),treatment group 1(soaking AVL seeds with naphthylacetic acid 15 mg/mL for 8 hours),treatment group 2(soaking with gibberellin 100 mg/L for 30 hours) and treatment groups 3~8(soaking with clean water for 8,20,30,40,45 and 50 hours respectively).The sowing amount was 100 grains in each group for each time,and the seeds were planted in the outdoor pot at a planting space of 4cm?4cm.Results Naphthylacetic acid had an obvious inhibition on the germination of AVL seeds and delayed the shooting.Gibberellin promoted the germination and shooting of the seeds.Soaking with clean water for 8 hours had no obvious effect on the seed germination,but soaking for 20~50 hours increased the seed germination to various degrees,in particular soaking for 30~50 hours.Conclusion Soaking with gibberellin or clean water can increase the germination of AVL seeds.This method is simple and practical and economic,and is worth of extensively applying in the sowing and breeding of AVL seeds.

Objective To study the effect of different treatment methods on seed germination of wild Morinda officinalis How(MOH),which will provide evidence for breeding new cultivars of MOH.Methods We observed the morphological feature,thousand-seed weight and hygroscopicity of wild MOH,and studied the effect of different treatment methods on the germination rate,germination vigor,and germination index of the seeds.Results The thousand-seed weight was 38.03 g and the seed coat had good hygroscopicity.Stripping seed coat,acid etching with sulfuric acid,and the combined treatment of stripping seed coat with exogenous hormones of gibberellin(GA) and 6-benzyladenine(6-BA) had an effect on increasing germination rate,and the germination rate arrived 88.89% after the combined treatment of stripping seed coat with 4 mg/L 6-BA.Conclusion The germination inhibitors containing in the seed coat mainly contribute to the difficulty of the germination of MOH,and the germination inhibitors containing in the seed also have some influences on the germination.

Objective To evaluate the pharmacokinetic parameters and bioavailability of puerarin in Yufeng Ningxin tablets in mice by determining dose-time curve and by comparing with the pharmacokinetics of puerarin injection.Methods NIH mice were randomized into different groups. 6 %HClO4 was used to precipitate plasma protein and the plasma concentration of puerarin in mice was determined by HPLC.The PK solutions 2.0 program,a non-compartmental model software,was applied to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters and bioavailability.Results The main pharmacokinetic parameters of puerarin injection by i.v.in mice were:t1/2=98.359 min,CL=35.548 mL?min-1,AUC(0-∞)=281.3 ?g?min?mL-1;the main pharmacokinetic parameters of puerarin in Yufeng Ningxin tablets by o.p.were:t1/2 =35.562 min,CL=898.685 mL?min-1,Cmax=9.3 ?g?mL-1,Tmax=30 min,AUC(0-∞)=222.5 ?g?min?mL-1 ,F(bioavailability value)=3.95 %comparing to puerarin injection.Conclusion As compared with puerarin injection,the absorptive content of puerarin in Yufeng Ningxin tablets is very poor and the bioavailability is also low,indicating that enhancement of bioavailability of Yufeng Ningxin tablets will be beneficial to the clinical application.

Objective To develop a quality standard for Dongfengju oral liq ui d (DOL). Methods Atalantia buxjfolia, Radix Scrophulariae, Fructus Aurantii in DOL was identified by TLC. Results The obtained TLC spots of Atalantia buxj folia, Radix Scrophulariae, Fructus Aurantii in DOL occurred at the correspond ing positions compared to the controls. Conclusion The method is proved to be simple, sensitive, precise and reproducible and can be used for the quality con trol of DOL.

Objective The rational medication route of puerarin was explore d by studying the concentration- time curve and by comparing the histological and organic distribution difference of puerarin administered by intravenous injecti on or gastric gavage in mice, so as to supply a referential data for its rationa l application. Methods The NIH mice were used as experimental subject. The pu erarin concentrations in the plasma, tissue and organs at different time points were determined by HPLC. The PK solutions 2.0 program, a noncompartmental model software, was applied to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters of puerarin an d to construct its plasma concentration- time curve. Results (1)The pharmacok inetic parameters of puerarin in mice were shown that the T1/2E of puerarin susp ension (0.2 mg? g- 1) by oral administration is 38.061min, CL =991.534 mL? mi n- 1, Cmax =3.6? g? mL- 1, Tmax =30 min, and AUC(0- ∞ ) =201.7? g? min? mL- 1, the bioavailability of puerarin suspension is 3.77 % compared to i.v puerarin injection. (2) Administered by intravenous injection (i.v), the puerari n distributed in the liver, kidney, plasma, spleen, muscle, lung, uterus and tes ticle rapidly, and the concentration of puerarin was the highest in the liver an d kidney and lower in the heart and brain. Distribution of puerarin suspension b y oral administration is similar to puerarin injection by i.v. However, the conc entration of puerarin in the tissues and organs by oral administration was lower than by i.v; the liver/heart, liver/brain, kidney/heart and kidney/brain concen tration ratios of puerarin by gavage administration were lower than those by i.v . Conclusion The bioavailability of puerarin by oral administration was poor, but the histological distribution characteristics of puerarin shows that the tox ic and side effects of puerarin are lesser by oral use than by intravenous injec tion.
