OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for the simultaneous contents determination of chlorogenic acid,rutin and iso-quercitrin in Morus alba,fried M. alba and honeyed M. alba. METHODS:HPLC was performed on the column of Agilent Zorbax SB-C18 with mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.2% phosphoric acid(gradient elution)at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min,detection wavelen-gth was 350 nm ,the column temperature was 30 ℃,and injection volume was 10 μl. RESULTS:The linear range was 8.20-82.01μg/ml for chlorogenic acid (r=0.999 9),2.76-27.60 μg/ml for rutin (r=0.999 9) and 4.74-47.39 μg/ml for isoquercitrin (r=0.999 9);RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were lower than 2%;recoveries were 98.58%-100.91%(RSD=1.02%,n=6),99.19%-101.00%(RSD=0.82%,n=6) and 98.41%-101.51%(RSD=1.08%,n=6),respectively. CONCLU-SIONS:The method is simple with good stability and reproducibility,and can be used for the simultaneous determination of chloro-genic acid,rutin and isoquercitrin in different processed drugs of M. alba.

OBJECTIVE:To study the flavonoids in She medicine Eupatorium chinense. METHODS:Silica gel,ODS and Sep-hadex LH-20 column chromatography were conducted to isolate and purify the flavonoids in She medicine E. chinense,and com-pound structures were analyzed and identified based on the physicochemical properties and spectral data. RESULTS:From the ethyl acetate extract of E. chinense,10 flavonoids were isolated as tricin (1),quercetin(2),kaempferol(3),luteolin(4),luteo-lin-7-O-β-D-glucoside (5),4-methoxyctricin (6),quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucoside(7),kaempferol-3-O-β-D-glucoside(8),kaempfer-ol-3-O-rutinoside(9)and rutin(10). CONCLUSIONS:Compound 1-10 are isolated from E. chinense for the first time. The study provides certain basis for the quality evaluation of E. chinense.

Objective To investigate the expressions of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), bcl-2, and c-myc protein, and to explore diagnostic value of DNA ploidy in benign and malignant thyroid neoplasms. Methods The expressions of PCNA, bcl-2 and c-myc proteins in 36 cases of thyroid adenomas and 37 cases of thyroid carcinomas were examined by immunohistochemistry technique. DNA ploidy was measured by imaging analysis technique in 8 cases of thyroid adenomas and 17 cases of thyroid carcinomas. Results Among thyroid carcinomas, the positive rates of PCNA (43.02?31.16)% and c-myc protein 89.2% were significantly higher than those of thyroid adenomas (16.15?9.28)% and 50.0% respectively (both P
