Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine on internal and external treatment of acne.Methods 128 patients in Dermatology Department of Xiyuan Hospital CACMS from May 2012 to March 2013 were collected and randomly divided into Chinese medicine group and western medicine group.The patients of Chinese medicine group were divided into invasion of the Lung by Wind-Heat syndrome and damp-heat oflmg and stomach syndrome,respectively taking acne liquid 1 or 2 orally and using the herb mask once a week.The western medicine group took Roxithromycin Capsules orally and smeared 0.3％ Viaminate and Vitamin E Cream.The treatment period lasted for 6 weeks,and collected the photograph of the target lesion before and after research every 2 week and evaluated the efficacy.Result The total efficacy rate were 90.77％ (59/65) and 74.60％ (47/63) for Chinese medicine group and western medicine group respectively,with significant difference between them(x2=11.83,P＜0.05).The efficacy rates were 87.50％ and 93.94％ for invasion of the Lung by Wind-Heat syndrome and damp-heat of lung and stomach syndrome respectively,with no significant difference between them(x2=0.416,P＞0.05).The TCM symptom scores after treatment [Chinese medicine group (4.36 ± 2.45),western medicine group (8.62± 2.49)] had significant difference in two groups respectively compared with before treatment[Chinese medicine group(15.33±6.08),western medicine group(14.34±5.29),P＜0.05].The difference of TCM symptom scores after treatment between the two groups also had a significant difference (P＜0.05).The TCM symptom scores after treatment of invasion of the Lung by Wind-Heat syndrome group and damp-heat of lung and stomach syndrome group were (4.50±3.01) and (4.24±1.83),which had a significant difference compared with before treatment respectively[(15.37±7.03)and(15.29±5.13),P＜0.05].Conclusion The TCM internal and external treatment on acne could reduce the number of lesions and improve TCM symptom scores.The effect of treating invasion of the Lung by Wind-Heat syndrome and damp-heat of lung and stomach syndrome with TCM was almost equal.

Objective To study the releasing properties and mechanism in vitro of the active ingredients of the gastric floating sustained-release tablet containning Zuojin Pellet extraction(ZJ-GFST).Methods The release rates of berberine,palmatine,evodiamine,and rutaecarpine from ZJ-GFST in vitro within 8 h were measured by using rotating basket method in Chinese Pharmacopeia.The cumulative curve of drug release data was fitted to zero order,first-order and Higuchi equation to ascertain the kinetic modeling of drug release.Release mechanism was ascertained using Peppas equation.Results The similar factors of the cumulative release curve of all the four ingredients mutually compared were more than 80%,indicating that the release of the four ingredients were similar.The cumulative release rate of all the four ingredients fitted Higuchi equation.The value of slopes of Peppas models of all the four ingredients were more than 0.45,indicating that drug released by concurrent action of diffusion and matrix erode(non-fickian diffusion).Conclusion The releasing properties in vitro of the active ingredients of ZJ-GFST is consistent.

AIM: To preparate brucine liposome. METHODS: Brucine liposomes were preparated by a combination of ammonium sulfate transmembrane gradients method and extrusion through microfiltration membranes.The methods were evaluated by particle morphology,the size range,and encapsulation efficiency. RESULTS: The optimal preparating process parameters of brucine nanometer liposome were lecithin-to-cholesterin ratio of 100∶15,the volume of 0.1 mol/L of water solution of ammonium sulfate being 66.7 times as large as lecithin,the volume of brucine being 0.0167 times than lecithin,the temperature and the time of incubating being 40 ℃ and 20 min,respectively.The encapsulation efficiency of this method was over 90%. CONCLUSION: Preparation of brucine liposomes by a combination of ammonium sulfate transmembrane gradients method and extrusion through microfiltration membranes is feasible.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical curative effect and security by performing the clinical study ofYinggencao formula in treatment of psoriasis vulgaris with blood-heat TCM syndrome.MethodsA total of 75 patients, diagnosed with Psoriasis Vulgaris Blood-heat RCM syndrome, were randomizedly divided into the treatmeat group with 39 patients and the control group with 36. The treatment group tookYinggencao formula twice daily, while the control group tookQingdai capsules three times daily. All the patients were treated 12 weeks. PASI scores were used as the main outcome and to estimate the curative effect rates.ResultsThe PASI scores of patients in the treatment group (6.97 ± 2.02vs. 16.88 ± 2.91;t=14.380,P=0.009) and the control group (13.14 ± 3.18vs. 17.49 ± 2.32;t=7.780,P=0.013) after treatment showed significantly lower than the scores before. The PASI scores showed significant difference between the two groups after the treatment (P=0.027). The total effective rate of treatment group was significantly higher than the control group (76.9%vs. 61.1%;χ2=5.120, P<0.05).Conclusions TheYinggencao formula therapy showed better effect thanQingdai capsules therapy in treatment of psoriasis vulgaris with blood-heat TCM syndrome.

hairless mouse. Conclusion The cellulose nitrate filter can be regarded as a good model for the study of percutanous permeability of lipophilic magnolin.

AIM:To study the influence of material and configuration of microfiltration membranes on preparation of mono-ammonium glycyrrhizinate liposome(MGL) by membrane extrusion. METHODS: MGL were preparated by conventional rotary-evaporated film dispersion method and sonication,and MGL were extruding through 9 kinds of microfiltration membranes with 3 kinds of aperture specs of 0.1,0.2,0.45 ?m.The methods were evaluated by the filtration efficiency and the leakage rate of drug from liposomes. RESULTS: MGL were easily extruding through microfiltration membranes of NY6,PTFE,PVDF,PP and PC.MGL could not extruding through microfiltration membranes of PES,CN,CA and CA-CN.MGL become hardly to extrude through microfiltration membranes when increasing in the concentration of liposomes or the content of cholesterol.The leakage rate of drug from MGL was small when extruding through microfiltration membranes. CONCLUSION: The material and configuration of microfiltration membranes can remarkably influence the preparation of MGL by membrane extrusion method,and PC microfiltration membrane was selected.

AIM: To study preparation of strychnine solid liposome. METHODS: Sorbitol carrier aggradation method and freeze drying method were used to prepare strychnine solid liposomes. They were evaluated by particle morphology, the size range, resolvable peculiarity in the water, encapsulation efficiency. RESULTS: The particles of liposome by sorbitol carrier aggradation method were less than that by freeze drying method, and its encapsulation efficiency was higher than that by freeze drying method. CONCLUSION: Sorbitol carrier aggradation method is better than freeze drying method.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of manual decocting and machine decocting on the chemical constituents in Bazhentang based on non-targeted metabolomics, and to find the differential chemical constituents of these two decocting methods. Method: Bazhentang was boiled by standardized manual decocting and machine decocting methods,respectively. Orthogonal partial least square-discriminate analysis(OPLS-DA) and other multivariate statistical methods, combined with variable importance in the projection(VIP) value and t-test, were employed to analyze the effect of two decocting methods on the chemical constituents in Bazhentang. The differential chemical constituents were analyzed by UPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap MS under positive and negative ion modes,mobile phase was acetonitrile-0.1%formic acid aqueous solution for gradient elution,the scanning range was m/z 50-1 500. Result: Under the positive and negative ion modes of high-resolution mass spectrometry, a total of 87 differential components were found,40 of them were identified according to the mass spectrometry data and literature reports, including senkyunolide A, glycyrrhizin, ferulic acid, etc. Conclusion: Based on the analysis of color and chemical compositions of Bazhentang, there are obvious differences between the standardized manual decocting and machine decocting. If the advantages of these two methods are combined,a standardized decoction process can be established on the basis of maintaining the advantages of manual decocting, the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine decoction will be maximized and it will be convenient for patients to take it.
