Objective　To introduce the technique of mitral v alve replacements in beating heart, and review the clinical experience in 234 ca ses of operation. Methods　A total of 234 patients of mitral val ve replacement in beating heart with mild hypothermic extracorporeal circulation (30～32 ℃) were reviewed. Results　 The procedures underwe nt fluently and only 2(0.85%) died early postoperatively. No low cardiac output , arrhythmia and cer ebral embolism complications was found. Conclusion　Results sugg ested that mitral valve replacement in beating heart is a safe and available method and is good in extenuating myocardial and pulmonary i njury from ischemia-reperfusion and deep hypothermia.

Objective　To compare the clinical efficiency of intracardiac procedures on traditional cardioplegic arrested-heart and on-pu mp beating-heart for congenital heart disease (CHD) with severe pulmonary hyper tension. Methods　Among all 153 cases, 95 cases underwent operat ions on cardioplegic arrested-heart, while 58 on-pump beating-heart. In arres ted-heart group, 79 cases with ventricular septal defect (VSD), 13 with atria l septal defect (ASD) and 3 with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) were examined whi le in beating-heart group, 43 cases with VSD, 10 with ASD, and 5 with PDA were examined. Results　There were 12 cases of operative death (12.6%) and 8 of tracheotomy (8.4%) in heart arrested group. No operative death and tracheotomy in beating-heart group. 141 patients were followed up for 3 months to 10 year s with good recovery. There were 2 cases of right heart function failure six yea rs later in arrested-heart group. Conclusion　Results sugges t that on-pump beating-heart technique is superior to traditional cardiopl egic arrested-heart for CHD with severe pulmonary hypertesion. The cause might be t hat on-pump beating-heart intracardiac operation is more effective in cardio pulmon ary protection.

OBJECTIVE:To establish the method for simultaneous determination of the content of berberine hydrochloride, baicalin and osthole in Jinchan zhiyang capsules. METHODS:HPLC method was adopted. The determination was performed in Hypersil BDS C18 column with mobile phase consisted of methanol-acetonitrile-0.1%phosphoric acid-three triethylamine(50∶30∶19∶1, V/V/V/V) at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelengths were set at 265 nm (berberine hydrochloride),280 nm (baicalin)and 322 nm(osthole). The column temperature was set at 30 ℃,and sample size was 10 μL. RESULTS:The linear range of berberine hydrochloride,baicalin and osthole were 80-800 ng(r＝0.999 8),60-600 ng(r＝0.999 9),60-600 ng(r＝0.999 6),respectively. RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were all lower than 2.0%. The limits of quantitation were 80,60,60 ng,respectively,and the limits of detection were 24,20,20 ng,respectively. The recovery rates were 97.4%-98.3%(RSD＝0.33%,n＝6),98.4%-99.6%(RSD＝0.42%,n＝6)and 96.9%-99.0%(RSD＝0.92%,n＝6),respectively. RSDs of durability tests were all lower than 1.2%. CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple, accurate, precise, stable, reproducible and durable. It can be used for simultaneous determination of berberine hydrochloride,baicalin and osthole in Jinchan zhiyang capsules.

OBJECTIVE:To establish the method for simultaneous determination of berberine hydrochloride and baicalin in Jianpi zhixiening granules. METHODS:HPLC switching walvelength method was adopted. The determination was performed on Hypersil BDS C18 column with mobile phase consisted of methanol-0.45％ phosphoric acid solution-triethylamine(50:49:1,V/V/V) at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 265 nm(berberine hydrochloride)and 280 nm(baicalin). The column temperature was set at 30 ℃,and sample size was 10 μL. RESULTS:The linear range of berberine hydrochloride and baicalin were 60.3-312.8 ng(r=0.9997)and 81.5-368.9 ng(r=0.9999). The limits of quantitation were 0.6668,0.7740 ng,andthe limits of detection were 0.2226,0.2580 ng,respectively. RSDs of intermediate precision,stability and repeatability tests were all lower than 1.0％. The recoveries were 96.48％-99.30％(RSD=1.06％,n=6) and 95.20％-99.39％(RSD=1.66％,n=6), respectively. RSDs of durability test were all lower than 2.0％. CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple, precise, stable, reproducible,accurate and durable. It can be used for simultaneous determination of berberine hydrochloride and baicalin in Jianpi zhixiening granules.
