Chinese Traditional Patent Medicine 1992;0(06):-
AIM: To establish a RP-HPLC method for simultaneous determination of the dl-tetrahydropalmatine and imperatorin in Yuanhu Zhitong Prescription (Rhizoma Corydalis, Radix Angelicae Dahuricae). METHODS: dl- tetrahydropalmatine and imperatorin were extracted with ether and determined by HPLC using a BDS C 18 column(5?m,4.6?250mm),phosphate buffer(pH6.6)-methanol(39∶61) as a mobile phase. The mobile rate was at 1mL?min -1 and detection wavelength was at 280nm. RESULTS: The relationship between the concentration and the peak area of dl-tetrahydropamaltine and imperatorin were good linear relation, respectively. Either of correlation coefficient approached 0.999. CONCLUSION: This method can be used to determine the concentration of dl-tetrahydropalmatine and imperatorin in the preparation of Yuanhu Zhitong Prescription.

The Lazarus phenomenon is defined as delayed ROSC,or ROSC after failure of CPR and cessation of all the emergency medical care,including the cessation of chest compression,mechanical ventilation,and venous fluid resuscitation.It was first reported in 1982 and 53 cases of Lazarus phenomenon have been reported in the medical literature so far.Even though Lazarus phenomenon is rare and the pathophysiological mechanisms are poorly understood,several possible mechanisms are still proposed,which could be rational to explain this phenomenon,such as auto-PEEP,hyperkalemia,alkalosis,delayed action of drugs,etc.In most cases,it was reported that ROSC occurred within 10 minutes after cessation of medical effort.Therefore,before the announcement of death of patient,it is mandatory to monitor those patients for at least 10 minutes after the cessation of CPR.However,more explicit studies seem to be necessary to gain a better understanding of this phenomenon.

Heparin and low molecular weight heparin have been widely used in clinical therapy as anticoagulants in cardiovascular disease and in hemodialysis. Crude heparin is usually prepared from porcine intestinal mucosa. Purified heparin is a mixture of polysaccharides consisting mainly of repeating GlcNS(6S)-IdoA2S disaccharides and other disaccharides with different GlcNAc/GlcNS±3S±6S-GlcA/IdoA±2S residues. Heparin injections are drugs prepared from heparin active pharmaceutical ingredient ( API ) that is prepared from crude heparin. Low molecular weight heparins are dominant heparin-based drugs used clinically, which are prepared by degrading heparin into smaller sizes. As a result, low molecular weight heparins are sharing the same major disaccharides but have different reducing and non-reducing ends. In current study, we focused on the disaccharide compositional analysis of clinically used heparin and heparin-based drugs. HeparinaseⅠ,II, and Ⅲ were used to degrade all heparin and heparin-based drugs including heparin sodium injection, Enoxaparin sodium injection, Nadroparin calcium injection, Dalteparin sodium injection, Fondaparinux sodium into disaccharides. All the degraded products were analyzed by strong anion high perforance liquid chromatography ( SAX-HPLC) coupled with an UV-detector. Commercially available unsaturated disaccharide standards were then used for structral identification. Furthermore, unusual disaccharides present in Nadroparin, Dalteparin, and Fondaparinux were confirmed by reversed-phase ion pair HPLC coupled with mass spectrometry. The developed method produced detailed structural information, which should be useful for quality control of heparin and heparin-based drugs.

Mortality is a key index for assessing technical level and treatment quality of hospital. We filtered and analyzed the literatures about the influence of nurse factors on patient mortality out of China in recent years to guide the study within China. We found the nurse factors impacting mortality included workload, configuration of nursing staff, education status and working environment. Those findings point out the direction of the research on relationship between nurse factors and patient mortality in China, which has great significance.

Objective To study the benchmark dose (BMD) of fluoride concentration in saliva,and to evaluate the significance of saliva fluoride on control and prevention of endemic fluorosis.Methods In September 2014,middle school students in endemic fluorosis areas and non-endemic fluorosis areas in North China Petoleum were selected as objects.The contents of fluoride in water,urine and saliva were determined.The correlation of fluoride content in water,urine fluoride and fluoride concentration in saliva was analyzed.According to the levels of the saliva fluoride concentration,the children were divided into 11 groups,< 1.00,1.00-,2.00-,3.00-,4.00-,5.00-,6.00-,7.00-,8.00-,9.00-and ≥ 10.00 mg/L.The prevalence of dental fluorosis and defected dental fluorosis were investigated and the saliva fluoride concentration was calculated by Banch-Mark Dose Software.Results Compared with non endemic areas,the fluoride contents in water,urine and saliva [(2.13 ± 0.13),(1.29 ±0.73),(4.01 ± 3.61) mg/L] were higher than that in endemic areas [(0.67 ± 0.13),(0.38 ± 0.08),(0.75 ± 0.12) mg/L,t =158.730,24.780,18.114,all P < 0.01].The fluoride concentration in saliva was positively correlated with the fluoride content in water and urine in endemic areas (r =0.626,0.945,all P < 0.01).The (BMDs and benchmark dose lower bound (BMDLs) were 0.91,0.54,3.72,3.32 mg/L respectively,calculated by Banch-Mark Dose Software.With the increase of fluoride concentration in saliva,the prevalence of dental fluorosis and defect dental fluorosis had increased too,especially when the fluoride content in saliva was more than 4 mg/L.There were significant doseresponse relationships between the urine fluoride and the prevalence of dental fluorosis and defected dental fluorosis.Conclusion The fluoride concentration in saliva could be used as one of the evaluation indexes of fluorosis,and the BMD of saliva fluoride concentration in endemic fluorosis areas is suggested as 0.91 mg/L.

Semen Ziziphi spinosae ( SZS) , as a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine in clinic for insomnia therapy, is rich in pharmacological active ingredients such as saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids, oil and the other chemical compounds. The recent stud-ies indicated that some active ingredients in SZS exhibited a variety of activities including sedative hypnotics, antianxiety and anti-de-pression by regulating particular neurotransmitters such as 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA), norepi-nephrine, dopamine and glutamate. In accordance with the previous studies on pharmacological activities of SZS, this paper summa-rized and reviewed the applications of SZS in the treatment of central nervous system diseases, myocardial diseases and hepatic disea-ses, which might provide solid evidence for the application development of SZS.
