AIM: To determine the content of(+)-catechin and (-)-epicatechin and berberine hydrochloride in Wangying Capsule(Rhizoma Picrorhizae,Rhizoma Coptidis,Catechu,etc.). METHODS: A RP-HPLC method was established.The chromatographic column was Diamonsil-C_(18).The mobile phase was 0.04 mol/L citric acid-N,N-dimethylformamide-tetrahydrofuran(40∶8∶2) for determining(+)-catechin and(-)-epicatechin with the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min,and the detection wavelength of 280 nm.The mobile phase was acetonitrile-water(52∶48)(including 0.34% potassium dihydrogen phosphate and 0.17% sodium dodecyl sulfate) for determining berberine hydrochloride with the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min,and the detection wavelength of 265 nm. RESULTS: The average recoveries for(+)-catechin and(-)-epicatechin and berberine hydrochloride were 100.9% and 99.9% and 97.0%,precision of the method were 2.52% and 2.53% and 2.70%(RSD,n=6),respectively. CONCLUSION: The method can be used for quantitative determination of the preparation.

Objective To determine the content of quercetin in Semen Hoveniae.Methods A RP-HPLC method was established.The chromatographic column was Synergi 4u Fusion-RP 80.The mobile phase was acetonitrile-0.5 %phosphoric acid(33 ∶67).The flow rate was 1.0 mL?min-1,the detection wavelength was at 360 nm,and the column temperature was 30 ℃.Results The average recovery of quercetin was 98.6 %,and RSD was 2.39 %(n=6).Conclusion The method is effective,simple and accurate,and can be used to determine the content of quercetin in Semen Hoveniae.

AIM To establish an HPLC method for the simultaneous content determination of narirutin,naringin,hesperidin,neohesperidin,honokiol and magnolol in Liuhe Dingzhong Pills (Aurantii Fructus,Citri reticulatae Pericarpium,Magnoliae officinalis Cortex,etc.).METHODS The analysis of 75％ methanol extract of this drug was performed on a 30 ℃ thermostatic Dikma Spursil C18 column (4.6 mm ×250 mm,5 μm),with the mobile phase comprising of acetonitrile-water flowing at 1.0 mL/min in a gradient elution manner,and the detection wavelengths were set at 283 nm and 294 nm.RESULTS Six constituents showed good liner relationships within their own ranges (r≥0.999 3),whose average recoveries were 92.6％-103.7％ with the RSDs of 0.89％-2.87％.The contents of naringin and neohesperidin in three batches of samples showed obvious differences.CONCLUSION We should pay attention to the unstable quality of Liuhe Dingzhong Pills due to Aurantii Fructus.

In this paper is proposed a new method for functional connectivity detection using regression analysis. First, the resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data from each voxel is passed through a bandpass filter to obtain frequencies between 0.01 Hz and 0.1 Hz. Then, the region of interest (ROI) is defined and the mean time course of all voxels in ROI is used as a regressor. Finally, the linear relationship between the time course of other voxels and the regressor in the resting brain is estimated. By the application of this new method in simulation data and fMRI data, the relevant validity and reliability are demonstrated.
