Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of treating active ankylosing spondylitis with total panax notoginseng saponins (PNS). Methods sixty-two patients were randomly recruited into a control group and a treatment group, with thirty-one patients in each group. All patients were treated with the routine therapy of NSAIDs and DMARDs. The treatment group was given PNS additionally, with 400mg PNS joined with 200ml normal saline being intravenously dripped daily. The therapeutic course was 14 days for both groups. The observation items for evaluation included symptoms, signs, and side effects. Results Compared with previous state before treatment, the lumbosacral portion pain and the count of joint pain was reduce, the time of morning stiffness was shortening, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and C-reaction protein (CRP) were all significantly reduced (P<0.05) ; There were significant differences in the total effectiveness rates between the two groups (P<0.05) ; while no notable difference was found in adverse drug reaction between the groups (P>0.05). Conclusion It is effective that treating active ankylosing spondylitis with PNS plus NSAIDs.

Progress in Cocaine toxicology research,especially in i ts toxicological mechanisms on the central nervous and cardiac-cerebral vascular systems, was reviewed in the last 5 years.The main problems with the current resear ch work and the future research direction were pointed out.

To assay the quantity of the brucine ingredient in gastric content and hepatic tissues from the patient died of Semen Strychni hainanensi accumulative posioning.With standard brucine and the crude powder of the Semen Strychni hainanensi as control,the brucine ingredients in the above tissues were quantitatively scanned by the capillary elecrophoretic apparatus within the wave length ranging 190～600nm.The contents of the brucine ingredients in the gastric,hepatic tissues and the crude powder of the Semen Strychni sainanensi were 5 83mg/100ml,4 92mg/100g,and 3 07%(w/w)respectively.The high level of the brucine ingredients in the gastric content and the hepatic tissue is the cause of death.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD） is one of the most common complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM）. Cell death caused by iron-lipid disorder is a new mode of regulating programmed cell death， which is characterized by lipid peroxidation induced by the accumulation of lipid reactive oxygen species and excessive accumulation of iron ions induced by iron metabolism disorders. Among them， iron homeostasis disorder and metabolic pathway disorder are the main causes of iron-lipid disorder， which play an important role in a variety of pathological processes related to cell death. Because the liver is an important organ for iron storage and lipid metabolism， iron-lipid disorder is an ideal target for liver disease， and inhibition of iron-lipid disorder may become a new strategy for the treatment of NAFLD. However， the pathogenic relationship and mechanism between NAFLD and iron-lipid disorder have not been fully elucidated. Based on the complex molecular regulation mechanism of iron-lipid disorder， by expounding the role of iron-lipid disorder in NAFLD and its related mechanism， this paper summarizes the research status of traditional Chinese medicine on the target treatment of NAFLD in recent years， so as to provide a new perspective and point out a new direction for the treatment of NAFLD in the future.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of different drying methods on the index components in wine-processed Cornus officinalis so as to optimize drying method.METHODS After processed with wine， C. officinalis decoction pieces were dried with different drying methods （blast drying， far infrared drying， microwave drying， freeze drying， sun drying， shade drying and combined drying）. The contents of 5 components such as gallic acid in wine-processed C. officinalis were determined by high- performance liquid chromatography. The contents of total flavonoids in wine-processed C. officinalis were determined by chromogenic method. Analytic hierarchy process was used to evaluate the effects of different drying methods on the contents of components in C. officinalis.RESULTS The contents of gallic acid， 5-hydroxymethylfurfural， monoside， loganin， cornuside and total flavonoids in 22 batches of wine-processed C. officinalis were 1.043 8-1.563 8， 0.648 5-2.358 8， 5.031 0-10.305 7， 6.681 2- 7.534 2， 0.986 5-1.148 8 and 33.657 2-50.741 5 mg/g， respectively. The comprehensive scoring results of analytic hierarchy process showed that the comprehensive score of each component in C. officinalis dried by microwave at 75 ℃ was higher ， followed by blast drying at 60 ℃ and far infrared drying at 60 ℃ .CONCLUSIONS The wine-processed C. officinalis could be dried by microwave drying at 75 ℃， blast drying at 60 ℃ or far infrared drying at 60 ℃.
