BACKGROUND:Ligustrazine can effectively prevent and treat peritoneal adhesion and adhesive ileus after surgical treatment. OBJECTIVE:To prepare Ligustrazine nanoparticle spray which is prepared to achieve sustained release and improve clinical efficacy and to explore its optimal dose for preventing experimental peritoneal adhesions in rats. METHODS:Eighty rats were randomly divided into five groups:model group, sodium hyaluronate group, high-, medium-and low-dose Ligustrazine nanoparticle groups, with 16 rats in each group. After peritoneal adhesion model was established with rasp method, model group was immediately subject to abdomen-closing, while sodium hyaluronate group and Ligustrazine nanoparticle groups received sodium hyaluronate smearing and Ligustrazine nanoparticle spray (2.5, 5, 10 mg/kg), respectively. Al rats were kil ed at 1 and 2 weeks after modeling, to observe adhesions. The adhesion score was recorded. The adhesive tissue sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin for pathological changes. The level of transformation growth factor-β1 in peritoneal fluid of rats was detected with ELISA assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Ligustrazine Nanoparticle spray had a sustained release effect, and prolonged the duration of action of drugs, thus achieving a better anti-adhesion effect post-surgery. The medium-and high-dose Ligustrazine nanoparticle sprays exhibited better anti-adhesion effects, and improved the rise of transformation growth factor-β1 level in the peritoneal fluid. As the drug concentration is low, the intraperitoneal administration in a spray manner is preferred. Because the total dose is limited, we define the optimal effective dose as 5 mg/kg.

OBJECTIVE To establish the fingerprints of dried Houttuynia cordata and its decoction pieces ，conduct chemometrics analysis and determine the contents of 5 flavonoids such as neochlorogenic acid. METHODS High performance liquid chromatography （HPLC）method was adopted. Using quercitrin as reference ，HPLC fingerprints of 10 batches of dried H. cordata and its decoction pieces were drawn. The similarity evaluation was conducted by Similarity Evaluation System of TCM Chromatographic Fingerprint （2012 edition），the common peaks were also confirmed. SIMCA-P 14.1 software was applied for principal component analysis （PCA）and partial least square-discriminant analysis （PLS-DA），and the variable importance in projection（VIP）value more than 1 was considered as a standard to screen the differential components affecting the quality of these two products ；meanwhile，the contents of 5 components such as neochlorogenic acid in both products were determined by the same HPLC method. RESULTS There were 20 common peaks in 10 batches of dried H. cordata and 10 batches of its decoction pieces with the similarity values more than 0.960. A total of 5 common peaks were identified ，which were neochlorogenic acid （peak 1）， chlorogenic acid （peak 3），cryptochlorogenic acid （peak 4），rutin（peak 7）and quercitrin （peak 11）. The results of PCA and PLS-DA showed that dried H. cordata could be distinguished from its decoction pieces obviously ；the common peaks with VIP value greater than 1 were as follows ：peak 7（rutin），peak 20，peak 5，peak 13，peak 2，peak 18，peak 3（chlorogenic acid ）， peak 14，peak 17 and peak 19. The linear range of neochlorogenic acid ，chlorogenic acid ，cryptochlorogenic acid ，rutin and quercitrin were 3.77-60.29 μg/mL（r＝0.999 7），1.40-22.42 μg/mL（r＝0.999 5），3.76-60.22 μg/mL（r＝0.999 9），2.19-35.06 μg/mL （r＝0.999 9）and 25.49-407.88 μg/mL（r＝0.999 7），respectively. RSDs of precision ，stability（24 h）and reproducibility E-mail：20190394@njucm.edu.cn tests were all lower than 3％. The average recoveries of the above components in these two products were 98.72％-101.12％ and 98.86％ -100.63％ with RSDs less than 3％（n＝9）. In dried H. cordata ，the average contents of 5 components were 0.87，0.33，0.59，0.61 and 6.17 mg/g，while the average contents were 0.42，0.11，0.26，0.23 and 3.16 mg/g in its decoction pieces ，respectively. CONCLUSIONS HPLC fingerprint and the method of content determination are stable and feasible ，which could be used for the quality control of dried H. cordata and its decoction pieces. Besides ，rutin and other components may be the differential components which could affect the quality of these two products ；the average contents of the 5 flavonoids such as neochlorogenic acid in dried H. cordata all decrease after processing.
