Chinese Pharmaceutical Journal 2012;47(4):300-302
OBJECTIVE: To identify the structure of illegal additive D- (-) -isoascorbic acid in vitamin C Yinqiao tablets and to screen for it in different samples. METHODS: The separation of D- (-) - isoascorbic acid in vitamin C Yinqiao tablets was performed on a CAPCELL PAK NH2 column (4.6 mm × 250 mm, 5 μm) with mobile phase consisting acetonitrile -20 mmol · L-1 ammonium acetate (adjusted to pH 2.5 with formic acid) (60:40), the flow rate was 1.0 mL · min-1. D-(-)-isoascorbic acid was detected by diode array detector at 246 nm. Electrospray ionization (ESI) source in positive ion mode was applied for the identification with following parameters; nebulizer pressure of 220 kPa, drying gas temperature of 350°C, flow rate of 12 L · min-1, and capillary voltage of 3.5 kV. The additive D-(-)- isoascorbic acid in vitamin C Yinqiao tablets was separated and prepared by HPLC for further structure confirmation by 13C-NMR. RESULTS: The structure of the additive was elucidated by analyzing the fragment of [M + H]+ of the additive and comparing with that the reference substance. The additive was further confirmed as D-(-)- isoascorbic acid by 13C-NMR. D-(-) - isoascorbic acid was detected in 64 of 366 batch samples. CONCLUSION: The LC-MS method is accurate and sensitive, which can be used for rapid screening and identification of the illegal additive D- (-) - isoascorbic acid in vitamin C Yinqiao tablets.

The way of "extracting-salting-chromatography" was used to purify the phycoerythrin and phycocyanin from Porphyra yezoensis in process scale-up.First,by comprehensive comparison of efficiency,the Sephadex G-25 was selected from four resins (Sephadex G-25、G-100、S-300 and CL-6B) as the best choice used in crude extract desalting of phycobiliprotein.Then the preparation process of phycobiliprotein was scaled-up with raw material(Porphyra yezoensis) increased from 1g to 20g,and finally to 400g.The results indicated that the yields of purified phycoerythrin and phycocyanin (absorption spectra purity above 3.2) increased during according to process scale-up,with 0.323% phycoerythrin and 0.148% phycocyanin obtained from 400g frozen Porphyra yezoensis blades respectively.It is no doubt that the process involved in the experiment is a potential way for large scale preparation of phycobiliproteins of high purity.

Objective To develop a real-time polymerase chain reaction(PCR)system to determine transcriptional level of MexAB-OprM multidrug efflux pump gene and to investigate the impact of androgra- pholide on MexAB-OprM gene transcription in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.Methods The fragments of mexB gene of mexAB-oprM operon and 30S rRNA gene rpsL were amplified and cloned into two plas- mids respectively.These plasmids were used as external standards for real-time PCR.Real-time PCR was applied to measure the mRNA transcripition of mexB and rpsL gene in Pseudomonas aeruginosa growing in medium with different concentrations of andrographolide.Results The plasmids for standard curve were constructed successfully.The relative mexB mRNA expressions in 50,100,150 and 200?g/mL andrographolide were 0.04?0.03,0.06?0.07,0.09?0.03 and 0.04?0.03 respectively, which were significantly lower than that in the control(0.24?0.04,P0.05).Conclusion Andrographolide can reduce the transcriptional level of MexAB-OprM,which may he one mechanism for its anti-infection effect.

0.05)and the TNM staging (P=0.55).A mild elevated compared other pathological classification was found in small cell lung cancer (0.191?0.275).Conclusions The results showed that RFQ-PCR was suitable for measurement of the mRNA level of PLKI in bronchoscopic bioptic specimens.This study suggest elevated expression of PLK1 might play a important role in development of lung cancer,so that PLK1 might be a potential tumor marker for Lung cancers.Advanced studies will be needed to clarify that PLKI mRNA level do not relate to TNM staging and pathological classification.

Objective To explore the value of real-time tissue elastography (RTE) with tissue dispersion quantitative analysis technique for assessment of liver fibrosis stage.Methods 51 rats were injected 6% thioacetamide to induce liver fibrosis model,and 9 rats were injected saline as control group.In modeling 4 weeks,8 weeks,12 weeks respectively,14 rats in group of liver fibrosis model and 3 rats in control group were randomly selected to RTE.All the rats underwent tissue dispersion quantitative analysis,to obtain 12 quantitative parameters of elasticity,which included average relative strain value (MEAN),standard deviation of relative strain value (SD),area ratio of low-strain region (% AREA),complexity (COMP),kurtosis (KURT),skewness (SKEW),contrast (CONT),entropy (ENT),inverse difference moment (IDM),angular second moment (ASM),correlation (CORR) and liver elasticity index (LF index).Subsequently,rats were sacrificed and their livers were taken for pathology analysis.Liver fibrosis model group was divided into S0,S1,S2,S3,S4 group.The 12 quantitative parameters of elasticity were compared with each group.Results 49 rats were successfully modeled,and 42 rats were analyzed.Except COMP,KURT,CORR,the other quantitative parameters had statistically differences (P < 0.05).The other 9 parameters were correlated with liver fibrosis stage.Among these parameters,MEAN,% AREA and LF index had higher related coefficient(r =-0.831,0.882,0.866).The ROC curve was made by MEAN,LF index and %AREA to estimate the fibrosis stage,when S≥S1,S≥S2,S≥S3,S =S4,the areas under the ROCcurve were 0.884,0.925,0.934,0.962 (MEAN);0.917,0.958,0.984,0.962 (%AREA);0.917,0.948,0.966,0.967 (LF index),respectively.Conclusions As a non-invasive examination,RTE dispersion quantitative analysis technology can be used to quantitatively assess liver fibrosis.

Objective To understand the human resource status of the community rehabilitation management in Shanghai and provide evidence for the construction of this human resource. Methods Census institutions of community rehabilitation management in Shanghai were investigated with self-questionnaire. Results Shanghai has initially established personnel of community rehabilitation management,which contains rehabilitation coordinators and street community administrator. However, the structure and number of the personnel has yet to be improved. Conclusion Personnel building must focused on optimizing the personnel structure of rehabilitation coordinator, moderately expanding the street community administrators, filling the community rehabilitation service gap between city and urban in next stage.

As a part of the project for the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2015 edition), the quality standard of Sophora flavescens root extract was investigated and established. According to the methods described in the Appendix of Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2010 edition), the water and ash inspections were carried out. The marker components trifolirhizin, sophoraflavanone G, oxymatrine and oxysophocarpine in the samples were identified by qualitative TLC. The determination of oxymatrine, matrine, oxysophocarpine and sophocarpine was conducted by HPLC and the total flavonoids were measured by ultraviolet spectrophotometry, using sophoraflavanone G as reference substance. The results indicated the spots on the plate were clear with good resolution and the contents of oxymatrine, matrine, oxysophocarpine and sophocarpine in the 13 batches of the samples were 3.87% - 11.1%, 0.970% - 4.33%, 1.30% - 2.59% and 0.260% - 1.14%, respectively. The total flavoids in the 13 batches of the samples were 3.88% - 7.93%. In the study, the validated methods were reproducible and the established quality standard was feasible, which could be used for the quality control of S. flavescens root extract and related preparations.
