Objective: To ascertain the process conditions for extracting the volatile oil from kangchi Capsules. Methods: The effects of water adding amount and extraction time on the yield of volatile oil were studied. The extraction condition of percolation was established with the extract yield and extraction transfer rate of tanshinone Ⅱ A as markers and the optimum condition for reflux method also was selected with the orthogonal test. Results: The volatile oil of Rhizome Acori Graminei could be basically extracted when it was extracted for 5 hours with 12 times of water. Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae and Radix Polygalae could be effectively extracted with the peocolation and reflux methods in 90% alcohol as a solvent. But the percolation method used less energy consumption and solvent than refluex method. So the production cost was lowered. Conclusion: The experimental results provide the basis for the ascertainment of extraction process of kangchi Capsules.

Objective To evaluate content validity and construct validity of International Classification of Functioning,Disability and Health(ICF)Core Set for patients with organ transplantation.Methods Patients with kidney,liver,heart,or lung transplantation were assessed with ICF Core Set questionnaire,Functional Independence Measure(FIM)and Barthel Index(BI).Content validity was evaluated with frequency and percentage of patients with a problem for each ICF category,while construct validity was evaluated with Spearman correlation between ICF categories with FIM and BI.Results A consecutive sample of 102 patients completed this study.In body functions,10 categories were reported as a problem by more than 30% of the patients,of which 22 categories correlated significantly with FIM or BI.In body structures,structure areas of skin(s810)were reported as a problem by 30% of the patients,of which 3 categories correlated significantly with FIM or BI.In activities and participation,3 categories were reported as a problem by 30% of the patients,of which 15 categories correlated significantly with FIM and BI.In environmental factors,8 categories were reported as a facilitator by 30% of the patients,of which 8 categories correlated significantly with FIM or BI.Conclusion The content validity and construct validity of ICF Core Set for patients early after organ transplantation were good.

Objective To explore the moisture absorption and related components of aqueous extract of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma. Methods The hygroscopicity of aqueous extract of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and its water and alcohol elution parts separated by macroporous resin was measured, and the contained low molecular sugars (monosaccharides, oligosaccharide), polysaccharide, protein, amino acid, tannins and salvianolic acid B, etc. were analyzed. Results D101 macroporous resin was used for separation and purification of aqueous extract of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma. The hygroscopicity of water elution parts was enhanced;carbohydrate, protein and other hydrophilic substances content increased; the content of salvianolic acid B was reduced to 1.76 mg/g.
