AIM: To establish a specific method for identifying Bailing Capsule(Synnematum sinense,Yin et shen sp.now).METHODS: Using fermented cordyceps powder(C_S-C-Q80),adenosine and uridine as reference standards,a HPLC fingerprint at 260 nm has been established for identification of Bailing Capsule,using Alltima C_(18)(250 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m) column and acetonitrile-0.04 mol/L KH_2PO_4 in gradient elution as a mobile phase.The flow rate was 0.8 ml/min. RESULTS: The relative standard deviations of stability,precision and reproducibility was less than 3% respectively.The relative standard deviation of relative retention time was less than 5% compared with other HPLC apparatuses and different colunms. CONCLUSION: The method established in this paper has the exclusivity and can be used to identify the Bailing Capsule.

Philosophy has exerted greatly influences on both western medicine and Chinese medicine,both medicines have quite distinctive and interesting recognitions on illness and human being which reflect their own cosmology and its evolutionary progress.A renown scholar ZHU Xi in the Song dynasty of China has reached the peak of neo-Confucianism and elaborated a lot of theories on Chinese cosmology by summarizing scientific achievements at that time;while Immanuel Kant has done very similar to the western world of cosmology.However,their theories make obvious different.As far as the evolution of humankind is concerned,Karl Popper has contributed his distinguished idea that the brain is the center for evolution.To this point,the theory of Chinese medicine,regarding the human-brain as the Ni Wan,ocean of the marrow.Furthermore,the system that the Ren Meridian and the Du Meridian corresponding to human upright vertebrae column in traditional Chinese medicine,makes an in-depth sense,too.

Objective To establish and verify the animal model of sclerotic skin induced by bleomycin(Blm).Methods To establish a mouse model for scleroderma in C3H/He mice by repeated local injection of100?L of Blm(200?g/mL)everyday for3weeks.Then,the specimens of skin,lung and serum were examined.Results After3week local Blm injections,an intense dermal sclerosis was shown in C3H/He mice.Compared with the control skin,increased dermal thickness and increased collagen histo-chemical index were found(P

Objectives To study the effects of traditional Chinese herbs, Wen Yang Huo Xue Decoction (herbs of removing blood-stasis and warming the kidney-yang) and Salvia miltiorrhiza, on the animal model of sclerotic skin. Methods A mouse model for sclerotic skin was established in C3H/He mice by repeated local injections of bleomycin for 3 weeks. Wen Yang Huo Xue Decoction was given orally, and Salvia miltiorrhiza orally or intravenously, to the mouse model. The administrations started either simultaneously or after 3 weeks' injections of bleomycin. Mouse skins and lungs were examined histopathogically, and sera were tested for autoantibodies. Results The administrations of herbs, started either at the beginning or at the time sclerosis was induced, caused no significant alleviation of dermal sclerosis by the end of 5 weeks' treatment. After 8 weeks' administrations of herbs, the dermal thickness reduced and collagen histochemical index decreased significantly, especially in group Wen Yang Huo Xue Decoction was given orally and in group Salvia miltiorrhiza was given intravenously at early stage (P

Human peripheral blood lymphocytes and sheep red blood cells(SRBC)were incubated together in Hanks solution containing Ca~(2+) and Mg~(2+) ion, causing SRBC destruction and release of hemoglobin, 500%hemolysis value was found to 6.1921?0.06. The destruction of SRBC by lymphocytes was inhibited by trypsinase, its 50% hemolysis value became 0.0348?0.03 (P
