AIM: To establish an analytical method for detecting 14 kinds of amino acid in Wuling Capsule(xylaria) by HPLC-FLD. METHODS: After being derivated in precolumn with o-phthalaldehyde and ?-mercaptoethanol,the amino acids were eluted by gradient elution and were detected with a fluorescence detector (Ex = 340 nm,Em = 450 nm). The mobile phase consisted of 0. 1 mol/L NaH2PO4 ( adjusted to pH 6. 8 by phosphoric acid) and methanol with a flow rate of 1. 0 mL/min,column temperature was set at 30 ℃. RESULTS: The deriva-tives of 14 amino acids with o-phthalaldehyde could be separated with a stable base line within 40 min. The linear range of the detection was 5-200 nmol/mL and correlation coefficients were over 0. 999 0. CONCLUSION: The method is simple,accurate and well reproduced for the determination of amino acids in Wuling Capsule.

Objective To determine the optimum process of ZTC1+1Ⅱnatural clarifying agents edulcorated mulberry leaf extracts. Methods The remaining rate of mulberry leaf alkaloid,flavone,polysaccharide and the solids removal rate were used as indexes,optimized by single factor experiment to study the effect of some factors,such as the order and dosage of clarifying agents,the concentration and the temperature of the extracting solution,whisking time,whisking speed and holding time,response surface methodology was selected to decide the best clarfication process. Results The optimal process:the order of the ZTC1+1Ⅱ natural clarifying agents was part B after part A,the dosage of clarifiers B and A were 10% and 5%volume of the extract,the extract solution was 0.17 g·mL-1 ,the temperature was 76 ℃,the whisking speed was 120 r·min-1 , the whisking time was 10 min,80 ℃ holding 30 min,and standing time was 12 h,the remaining rate of mulberry leaf alkaloid, flavone and polysaccharide were 92.5%,90.2% and 91.1%,the solids removal rate was 26.5%. Conclusion ZTC1+1Ⅱnatural clarifying agents could effectively purify the extracts of mulbery leaf,optimized by the response surface method,the method is simple and feasible,and clarity is good.

Objective To investigate the reversal effect and molecular mechanisms of NF-κB inhibitor parthenolide (PTL) on insulin resistance ( IR). Methods HepG2 cells were treated with insulin at different concentrations and time points, the glucose consumption of HepG2 cells was measured via glucose oxidase method to determine the best concentrations and time for establishing insulin-induced insulin resistance on HepG2 cells. After modeling, different concentrations of PTL were added in cells for 24 h for determining cell activity and glucose-consumption. Q-PCR was used to detect the expression of NF-κB and IκBα mRNA in cells, and western blot was used to detect the expression of protein IκBα. Results The best reaction time and concentration for insulin inducing resistance of HepG2 cells were 24 h and at 10 μg·mL-1 . The optimum acting dose of PTL was 20 μmol·L-1 . NF-κB activity was significantly reduced (P<0. 05), IκBα degradation was significantly inhibited (P<0. 05) compared to HepG2 cells with insulin resistance upon intervention on insulin resistance HepG2 cells by PTL. Conclusion PTL can inhibit IκBα degradation and disassociation of it from NF-κB, which in turn improves insulin resistance, providing theo-retical basis for preventing and treating diabetes with PTL.

OBJECTIVE:To understand the current situation and problems of the human resources of herbalists in Chongqing, and to provide reference for the relevant departments in formulating development plan for herbalists and promoting the healthy and sustainable development of Chinese medicine industry. METHODS:Chongqing municipal health and family planning commission is-sued the questionnaires to investigate the post distribution,educational background,job title and advanced study of medicine staff in Chongqing medical institutions. RESULTS:Questionnaires were gathered and reported by county health bureaus with effective re-covery rate of 100%. There were totally 19 713 Chinese medicine practitioners in Chongqing,including 1 739 herbalists,account-ing for 8.8%. Only 1.7%of the herbalists were graduate degrees,and the proportion of highly educated herbalists was low. The pri-mary professional position of the herbalists accounted only 59.5% and senior professional position was only 4.7%,the professional titles of herbalists were generally on the low side. The proportion of further education for herbalists was only 3.2%. There were sig-nificant differences in the ages,working time,highest education,professional positions and post properties and further studies among different economic areas(P<0.05). Herbalists of one-hour economic circle had higher educational level and higher profes-sional position than other two areas. CONCLUSIONS:Chongqing is lack of herbalists,and lack of the senior professional posi-tions,their education level is low and further education rate is low. In order to promote the development of Chinese medicine,it is necessary to strengthen the training and introduction of outstanding and young talents,strengthen the continuing education and regu-lar standardized training,improve the salary and welfare treatment for authorized strength and positions and balance the training for herbalists in different economic areas.

METHODS:Based on the single factor experiment,response surface method was adopted to investigate the effects of ultrasonic extraction time, ultrasonic power,ethanol volume fraction,solid-liquid ratio and pH of solvent on the extraction rate of total alkaloids from mulber-ry leaves,then test data were analyzed by Design Expert 8.0.5 software,and the optimized process was confirmed and verified. RE-SULTS:The multiple correlation coefficient of established binomial equation fitting model was 0.969 9;the optimized condition for extracting alkaloid from mulberry leaf was ultrasonic extraction time of 48 min,ultrasonic extraction power of 800 W,ethanol vol-ume fraction of 70%,material-liquid ratio of 1∶25,pH 5. Under these conditions,the extraction rate of total alkaloids was 0.422%, with the bias ratio was less than 2% compared with the model predictions. CONCLUSIONS:The established model has good fit-ting performance,the extraction process is stable and reliable,and can be used for the extraction of alkaloids from mulberry leaves.
