Objective To determine the content of anthraquinone in Rumex Patientia L.Methods Through colorimetric technique,used 1,8-Dihydroxyanthraquinone for comparison,0.8％ magnesium acetatemethanol solution for coloration,and determined the content of anthraquinone in Rumex Patientia L extract under 510 nm wavelength with colorimetry.Results The content of anthraquinone in Rumex Patientia L extract was 31.07 mg/g,the most of which was bound anthraquinone.Conclusion Colorimetry can be used for the determination of the content of anthraquinone in Rumex Patientia L extract.

This study is to investigate the effect of Euphorbia humifusa effective fraction (EHEF) on the CYP51 enzyme activity, the lanosterol content and the MEP, SUB gene expression of Trichophyton rubrum. Trichophyton rubrum was treated by EHEF for 7 days at 26 degrees C. The activity of CYP51 enzyme of Trichophyton rubrum in the cell membrane was determined by using ELISA kit, and the lanosterol content was investigated by using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the MEP, SUB gene expression of Trichophyton rubrum was detected with the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method. Results showed that EHEF can decrease the membrane CYP51 enzyme activity, and it also can accumulate the fungal lanosterol in a dose-dependent manner, and it also can decrease the gene expression of MEP and SUB. The antifungal mechanism of EHEF may be related to the inhibition on CYP51 enzyme activity, and to the effects on fungal cell membrane ergosterol biosynthesis. It may also play an antifungal effect by inhibiting the MEP, SUB gene expression of fungal proteases.

Objective To explore the progess and toxicity of concocting of Xinjiang datura stramonium L seeds. Methods The concocting of Xinjiang datura stramonium L seeds was preparaed by uighur medicine concocted The mice were selected to carry out acute and subacute toxicity test for the concocting of Xinjiang datura stramonium.L seeds. Results The dose of the concocting of Xinjiang datura stramonium L seeds which mice tolerated was 32 g ( crude drug)/kg. Compared with the control group,the serum AST level of the concocting group increased at 2 d ( P < 0.05 ); At 7 d, 14d the serum ALT level in male mice increased ( P < 0.05, P < 0.01 ); At 2 d,7 d, 14 d the serum BUN level in female mice decreased (P <0.05 ～ P <0.01 ) ;At 2 d,7 d the serum CRE level in female mice decreased ( P < 0.05 ～ P < 0.01 ). Conclusion Uighur medicine concocting could decrease the toxicity of Xinjiang datura stramonium L seeds.

OBJECTIVETo determine the contribution of chemical components represented by characteristic peaks of fingerprint of different eluted parts of Euphorbia humifusa to the antifungal effect to provide theoretical basis and data support for the traditional Chinese medicine quality control mode.

METHODHPLC was introduced to analyze fingerprint of different eluted parts of E. humifusa. The antifungal effect was observed using NCCLS M38-A method. The correlation between fingerprint and antifungal effect of E. humifusa was identified using grey relational analysis.

RESULTThe antifungal effect of different eluted parts of E. humifusa is resulted from the combined action of multiple chemical components. Chemical components representing a contribution to pharmacy dynamics were ordered by representative spectrum 2 > 5 > 3 > 4 > 1 for anti-Trichophyton rubrum and anti-T. mentagrophytes 5 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 1.

CONCLUSIONFingerprint of different eluted parts of E. humifusa is related with their antifungal effect to some extent.

Uyghur medicine has not yet had the clinical research guidelines consistent with Uyghur medicine theory for its new medicine. In this research, retrospective multi-center study on medical records of Uyghur medicine diagnosis and treatment program of stable angina was conducted. Data about demography, diagnostics, therapeutics, efficacy evaluation, and nursing were collated and analyzed. Uyghur medicine syndrome diagnosis indicators and their contribution to stable angina were identified, and Uyghur medicine syndrome differentiation criteria were established. Uyghur medicine established its primary and secondary disease syndrome and its symptoms quantization table entries for the syndrome elements of Uyghur medicine syndrome differentiation criteria. Then combined with symptoms of angina and ECG changes, nitroglycerin stop and decrement rate, evaluation criteria for the efficacy of disease symptom combination were established. On this basis, in accordance with the technical requirements of the national new medicine evaluation, the study developed clinical research guidelines for the treatment of stable angina with new Uyghur medicine.

Retrospective multi-center study on medical records of Uyghur medicine diagnosis and treatment program of eczema was done. Demography, diagnostics, therapeutics, efficacy evaluation and nursing data and other information were collated and analyzed. With analysis and summary of the primary and the secondary symptoms, eczema was divided into four types:blood corruption type (Ofunetlengen Kan Tiplik), blue colored yellow bile type (Zenggereng Sapra Tiplik), abnormal black bile type (Hayri Tabii Savda Hilitlik), and salty phlegm type (Shor Belgem Hilitlik). Uyghur Medicine syndrome differentiation and efficacy evaluation criteria were established. Skin itching, lesion shape, and lesion area integral of patients were scored before and after the treatment, respectively. According to the improvement in symptoms of Uyghur medicine syndrome and life quality of patients, and the internal environment change, evaluation criteria for the efficacy of disease symptom combination were established. On this basis, in accordance with the technical requirements of the national new medicine assessment technology, the study developed clinical research guidelines for the treatment of eczema with new Uyghur medicine.

The multi-central clinical records retrospective survey for psoriasis vulgaris was carried out by collecting related information such as demographic, diagnostics, therapeutics, efficacy evaluation, nursing data, and so on. The Uygur medical differentiation classification standard about psoriasis vulgaris was established and it was divided into four types:abnormal Khan Hilit type, abnormal Sapra Hilit type, abnormal saltness Balgham Hilit type, and abnormal Sawda Hilit type, according to main symptom and secondary symptom feature. The disease efficacy evaluation standard was established based on score of surface area and severity of skin injury combining with the changes of main symptom and secondary symptoms. On the basis, guidelines for clinical research of new drugs of Uygur medicine used in the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris were formulated in accordance with the technical requirements and procedure of national center for drug evaluation.

In this study, retrospective multi-center study on medical records of Uyghur medicine diagnosis and treatment program of osteoporosis was done and demographic, diagnostic, therapeutic, efficacy evaluation and nursing data and other information were collected. The main and secondary disease manifestations of osteoporosis were analyzed inductively. Osteoporosis was divided into 2 types in Uyghur medicine field, which were abnormal Savda type and abnormal Balgham type. Uighur medicine syndrome type standards of osteoporosis were established. Treatment efficacy was evaluated according to bone pain, bone density, life quality, and improvement of clinical symptoms and Uyghur medical symptoms. On this basis, in accordance with the technical requirements of the national drug review, the study developed clinical research guidelines for the treatment of osteoporosis with new Uyghur medicine (draft).
