Objective: To study the optimum extracting factors of Bushenjiangu Capsule. Methods: Uniform Design was used to arrange experiments, Ursolic acid content was used to evaluate the factor levels, and the optimum extracting factors were determined according experiments and realities. The orthogonal design was used to study three factors including crude drug size extracting time and amount of water. water extracted rate and alcohol extracted substance were used to evaluate the result. Results: The optimum alcohol-extracting factors were 8 times of 70% alcohol, percatating 48 hours. The optimum water-extracting factors were 1cm or smaller the crude drug size, boiling 3 times: 3h,2h,1h, each time, the amount of water was 10,8,6 times. Conclusion: According the optimum extracting factors, the effective substance can be extracted abundantly.

Objective To establish a HPLC method for the determination of geniposide in Mengning Tablets and to investigate the thermal stability of geniposide. Methods The content of geniposide in Mengning Tablets was determined on a E- clipse XDB-C_(18) column with a mobile phase consisting of 0.2% triethylamine (containing 0.1% phosphate) and acetonitrile (85: 15) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL?min~(-1) and detected at a wavelength of 240 nm. The thermal stability of geniposide was investigated by hyperthermal accelerated test. Results A linearity was obtained from 0. 10 ?g to 0.52 ?g of geniposide (r=0.9997, n=5) and the recovery was 98.92%(n=5). The variation of geniposide in Mengning Tablets was in first-order reaction and the expiry date of the medicine at normal temperature was 2.83 years when geniposide content was used as criteria. Conclusion This is a fast method for the determination of the expiry date of a Chinese patent medicine and this method is useful infor the development of a new medicine.

This study was aimed to investigate the mechanism of Jian-Pi Sheng-Xue (JPSX) granules on iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) rats.Low iron diet was given to establish IDA rat model.Rats were randomly divided into the model control group,normal control group,JPSX granules group,JPSX extract group and the ferrous sulfate group.The hematological indexes and serum ferritin were measured 10 days and 20 day after medication.The results showed that with iron supplements,the levels of hemoglobin (HGB),red blood cell (RBC),hematocrit (HCT) and serum ferritin of the JPSX granules group,JPSX extract group and the ferrous sulfate group were higher than those of the control group.The level of serum ferritin of the JPSX granules group was obviously higher than that of the JPSX extract group and the ferrous sulfate group (P < 0.01).It was concluded that compared with the control group,JPSX granules,JPSX extract and ferrous sulfate can improve symptoms of IDA in rats.And JPSX granules had the best effect.
