Objective To establish a method for the chiral separation and determination of S-isomer in epinephrine hydrochloride injection by HPLC with chiral mobile phase additives. Methods Column of Purospher? STAR RP-18 (4. 6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm) was used. The mobile phase was acetonitrile-10 mmol·L-1 sodium dihydrogen phosphate buffer containing 10 mmol·L-1 sulfobutylether-b-cyclodextrin (pH adjusted to 3. 0 with phosphoric acid) (98. 5:1. 5), detection wavelength was 280 nm, the flow rate was 0. 8 mL·min-1 , and the column temperature was 30 ℃ . Results Good linear relationship was established between the peak area and the concentration of S-isomer over the range of 5. 02-1501. 50 μg·mL-1 (R2 =0. 999 7). The detection limit was 0. 05 μg·mL-1 . Conclusion The proposed method shows high repeatability and durability. It can be employed for the quality control of S-isomer in epinephrine hydrochloride injection.

Objective To explore the effects of dendritic cells(DCs) pulsed by hepatitis B surface antigen(HbsAg) on the proliferation and function of cytokine-induced killer(CIK) cells.Methods The peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs) were isolated by the conventional method,pulsed by HbsAg,and added into the CIK cells.The ~3H-TdR incorporation was used to determine the proliferation of CIK cells and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) release was used to measure the specific killer activity of CIK cells induced by HBsAg-pulsed DCs.Results The HBsAg-pulsed DCs could induce the proliferation of CIK cells and strengthen the killer activity of CIK cells induced by HBsAg-pulsed DCs(P

Objective:To establish a method for the simultaneous determination of chlorphenamine maleate and ephedrine hydro-chloride in chlorphenamine maleate and ephedrine nasal drops by HPLC. Methods:An HPLC method was performed on a column of Purospher STAR RP18(150 mm × 4. 6 mm,5 μm)with the mobile phase of acetonitrile -potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer(pH 3. 0 ± 0. 1)(18:82 v/v)at the detection wavelength of 210 nm(adjusting the flow rate and column temperature to 1. 0 ml·min-1 and 35℃,respectively). The injection volume was 20 μl. Results:A good linear relationship was established between the peak response and the concentration of ephedrine hydrochloride and chlorphenamine maleate over the range of 19. 81-118. 85μg·ml-1(r=0. 999 6) and 6. 21-37. 25 μg·ml-1(r=0. 999 8),respectively. The mean recovery of ephedrine hydrochloride and chlorphenamine maleate was 100. 39%(RSD=0. 69%,n=9)and 100. 11%(RSD=0. 60%,n=9),respectively. Conclusion:The proposed method shows high repeatability,good durability and promising accuracy. It can be employed for the determination of two components in chlorphena-mine maleate and ephedrine nasal drops.
