Objective: To establish an HPLC-MS/MS method for the determination of hypericin in rat plasma. Methods: The sample was analyzed by HPLC-MS/MS after the addition of internal standard and then protein precipitation using acetonitrile. The sepa-ration was carried out on an Ultimate C18 column (150 mm × 2. 1 mm,5. 0 μm). The mobile phase was composed of acetonitrile∶ 5 mmol·L-1 ammoniumacetate (containing 0. 1% formic acid) (90∶10) at a flow rate of 0. 5 ml·min-1 under 35℃. The detection was performed with multiple teactions monitoring ( MRM) using an electrospray ionization ( ESI) . The precursor/product ion transitions were monitored at m/z 503. 2→m/z 405. 1 for hypericin and m/z 355. 0→m/z 41. 9 for the internal standard pioglitazone ( anion mode). Results:The good linearity of hypericin was obtained within the range of 0. 1-13. 2 ng·ml-1. The correlation coefficient was more than 0. 99 and the lower limit of quantification was 0. 1 ng·ml-1. The extraction recovery was within the range of 84. 19%-98. 71%. The precision of intra-and inter-day was below 18. 47%. Conclusion: The method is fast, sensitive and accurate, which provides research basis for the clinical further study of hypericin.

Objective To comprehensively analyze the nursing measures of early thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction. Methods 140 patients with acute myocardial infarction admitted in our hospital from October 2013 to October 2016 were randomly divided into control group (70 cases) and experimental group (apply early thrombolytic care on the basis of routine nursing method, 70 cases) according to different nursing methods. SPSS20.0 statistical software was used to analyze the incidence of complications, mean hospitalization time, average bedridden time and total satisfaction. Results The average hospital stay and the average length of stay in the experimental group were much shorter than those in the control group (P<0.05). The total score of the experimental group was much higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). The complication rate of the experimental group was much lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Nursing measures for early thrombolytic therapy in patients with acute myocardial infarction can significantly reduce the incidence of complications in patients.

In order to provide scientific basics for exploitation and sufficient application of Dendrobium officinale leaves resources, the phenol-sulfuric acid method was applied to determine the polysaccharide content. The monosaccharides were derivated by PMP and the derivatives were identified by HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS(n) and the contents of mannose and glucose were determined simultaneously. Similarity evaluation system for chromatographic fingerprint of traditional Chinese medicine (2004A) was employed to generate the mean chromatogram and similarity analysis of the samples was carried out. The results demonstrated that polysaccharide content, monosaccharide compositions and composition ratio had an obvious difference between stems and leaves. The polysaccharide content of stems was higher than that of leaves. Monosaccharide composition in leaf was significantly different from that in stem. The polysaccharide from stems was composed of mannose and glucose, however the polysaccharide of leaves was acid heteropolysaccharide and was mainly composed of five monosaccharides, including mannose, galacturonic acid, glucose, galactose and arabinose. The similarity value of the 14 batches was above 0.9, indicating that similarity of fingerprints among different samples was high. The study can provide evidence for expanding the medicinal parts of D. officinale.

To study the in vitro anti-angiogenesis effect of three curcumin pigments (curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, bisdemethoxycurcumin). In the study, the inhibitory effect of the three curcumin pigments on proliferation of HUVEC cells induced by OX-LDL and the effect on migration of HUVEC cells were detected. The effect on neovascularization was observed by chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) test. The effect on cell adhesion factors ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 of HUVECs were tested by Real-time RT-PCR. It was found that the three curcumins could inhibit the proliferation of HUVEC cells induced by OX-LDL within the dosage range 4, 8, 16 mg x L(-1), with a dose-dependence. The proliferative effect of curcumins on HUVECs was greater than the other two derivatives (P < 0.01). All of the three curcumin pigments inhibited the migration of HUVEC cells and the angiogenesis of chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM). The migration inhibition rate of curcumins at middle and high concentrations was greater than the other two (P < 0.01). All of the three curcumin could down-regulate the expression of VEGF and ICAM-1, and curcumins showed more obvious effect in down-regulating VEGF than demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin(P < 0.01); Bisdemethoxycurcumin showed the most significant effect in down-regulating ICAM-1 (P < 0.01). All of the three showed no remarkable effect on expression of VCAM-1, and only bisdemethoxycurcumin showed the down-regulating effect (P < 0.05). According to the findings, all of the three curcumin pigments could resist angiogenesis by inhibiting proliferation and migration of endothelial cells and down-regulating the expression of VEGF and adhesion molecules ICAM-1.
