Objective To analyze what will create after oxidation in Shenchang Injection, the oxidated mechanism, and isomerous conversion of ?-asarone and borneol in it. Methods To analyze the sample of Shenchang Injection before and after oxidation by GC-MS and to compare the composition of ?-asarone and borneol before and after sterilization. Results Some of ?-asarone was oxidized and changed to asarylaldehyde (about 0.88%—2.82% of total composition ) and saishinone (about 0.24%—0.46% of total composition), some of the borneol and isoborneol was oxidized and changed to camphor when three samples of Shenchang Injection are oxidized; some of ?-asarone (cis-) change to ?-asarone (trans-, about 1%—2%), (7.85?7.27)% of the isoborneol (cis-) changed to borneol (trans-) when sterilized at 100 ℃ for 30 min. Conclusion ?-Asarone and borneol in Shenchang Injection are involved in the oxidated reaction and have isomerous conversion after high pressure sterilization.

OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for the content determination of calycosin-7-O-?-D-glucoside,prim-o-glucosyl cimifugin and 4′ -O-?-D-glucosyl-5-O-methylvisammin in Yupingfeng decoction and to study the influence of different combination on the content of three compositions.METHODS:HPLC was applied and the determination was performed on Hypersil ODS(250 mm?4.0 mm,5 ?m)column.The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-water(gradient elution)with detection wavelength of 254 nm.RESULTS: The content of the three compositions represented little change or different deceasing tendency in the decoctions of various compatibilities.The biggest deceasing tendency of content was found in the decoctions containing Astragalus membranaceus,Saposhnikovia divaricata,and Atractylodes macrocephala.CONCLUSIONS: The content of the three compositions of different combination shows a dynamic course,which provides a reference for the rules of the compatibility and material basis of Yupingfeng decoction.

OBJECTIVE:To study the chief chemical components of the ethyl acetate part of Angelicae Sinensis Decoction for Supplementing Blood Apozem.METHODS:The HPLC was adopted in which Hypersil ODS was taken as the chromato?graphic column,the Methanol-0.5%glacial acetic acid was taken as the mobile phase(gradient elution),the detective wave?length was280nm,the flow rate was1ml/min and with the column temperature set at room temperature.RESULTS:There were7characteristic peaks in the ethyl acetate part of Angelicae Sinensis Decoction for Supplementing Blood Decoction,6of which come from isoflavone of Radix Astragali and1come from ferulic acid of Angelicae Sinensis.CONCLUSION:The chief characteristic peak of the ethyl acetate part of Angelicae Sinensis Decoction for Supplementing Blood Apozem was the building up of Radix Astragali peak and angelicae sinensis peak,no other significant composition peaks were emerged.

OBJECTIVE: To establish the GC fingerprints for Grassleaf sweetflag rhizome aetherolea and to control its quality .METHODS: The temperature at the mouth of the sample injector was 250℃ and that of the detector was 280℃, the carrier gas was nitrogen gas and the flow rate was 1.3ml/min, the GC of aetherolea in 10 batches of Grassleaf sweetflag rhizome was analyzed by adopting temperature programming.RESULTS:Altogether 6 peaks were marked out,the sum total of the average peak area of which made up(75.4?13.7)% of the total.CONCLUSION: The method is of high degree of precision, reproducibility,stability,the resolving of each component in the aetherolea is good,the established fingerprints can be used as one of the quality control index for Grassleaf sweetflag rhizome.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of intradermal needle therapy in treating chronic pharyngitis.Method Sixty patients with chronic pharyngitis were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by intradermal needle therapy at Lieque (LU 7) and Zhaohai (KI 6), while the control group was by Compound Borax solution plus Cydiodine Buccal tablets. The symptoms were scored before and after treatment, and the clinical efficacies were compared.Result The total effective rate was 93.3% in the treatment group versus 80.0% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The symptom scores were markedly changed after the treatment in both groups (P<0.01). The symptom score of the treatment group was significantly different from that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Intradermal needle therapy is an effective method in treating chronic pharyngitis.

According to the base complementation, the principle antisense technology is the sequence specific binding of complementary antisense nucleic acids or their chemical modification to the nucleic acids in cells, resulting in the suppression or prevention of gene translation. For the treatment of cancer, a lot of antisense drugs have been designed, which target the genes involved in the pathogenesis of cancer. And some of them have been in clinical trials. The author reviewed the progress of the clinical trials of these antisense drugs.
