Objective To optimize the volatile oil extraction and inclusion process of Wenweiyang capsules. Methods An orthogonal test was adopted in this study. The extraction technology was optimized for the yield of volatile oil regarding the amount of water loaded, grain size of medicinal material, and decoction time as factors. The inclusion technology was optimized for the inclusion yield and volatile oil inclusion rate using the ratio ofβ-CD:oil, amount of water and grinding time as factors. Results The optimized extraction parameters were as follows:breaking medicinal material through 10 mesh screen, adding 6 fold volume of water and extracting for 5 h. The optimized inclusion progress was grinding at theβ-CD:oil ratio of 81, loading equivalent amount of water and grinding for 30 minutes. The average yield of volatile oil is 1. 72%, the average inclusion rate is 93. 01% and the average volatile oil inclusion rate is 74. 82%. Conclusion The extraction and inclusion technology is simple, reliable, which can effectively retain the volatile oil and provide evidence for the preparation of Wenweiyang capsules.

Objective: To study the anti-gout effect of active ingredients in Poecilobdella manillensis. Methods: Hypoxanthine was used to replicate mouse model of hyperuricemia, and xylene was used to induce mouse auricle swelling model. The hot plate method and writhing method were used to screen the active site of Poecilobdella manillensis, and then the active ingredients were screened. The material basis of anti-gout effect of Poecilobdella manillensis was observed. Results: The water-soluble fraction of Poecilobdella manillensis was the active site against gout, which could reduce the level of serum uric acid in hypoxanthine-induced hyperuricemic mice and inhibit xylene-induced auricular swelling in mice, deduce acetic acid-induced writhing reaction in mice and increase the hot plate pain threshold in mice; Hirudin was the main active ingredient in water-soluble parts. Poecilobdella manillensis active ingredient 0.8 g/kg and 0.4 g/kg and Poecilobdella manillensis residue 2.0 g/kg could significantly reduce serum uric acid levels. The serum uric acid levels decreased from232.73 ± 50.93 umol/L in model group to 140.70 ± 25.97 umol/L, 149.07 ± 39.28 umol/L, 176.45 ± 44.33 umol/L, respectively (P ＜ 0.01) . Poecilobdella manillensis active ingredients 0.8 g/kg, 0.4 g/kg and 0.2 g/kg and Poecilobdella manillensis residue 2.0 g/kg could significantly inhibit xylene-induced ear auricle swelling in mice. The swelling degree was inhibited from 22.80 ± 2.86 mg to 20.10 ± 2.18 mg, 19.80 ± 2.57 mg, 20.10 ± 1.66 mg and 20.85 ± 1.60 mg respectively (P ＜ 0.05) . Poecilobdella manillensis 0.8 g/kg active ingredient could significantly reduce the number of writhing mice caused by acetic acid. The number of times was reduced from 22.80 ± 2.86 times to 20.10 ± 2.18 times (P ＜0.05) . Conclusion: Poecilobdella manillensis anti-gout activity is in water-soluble parts, and Hirudin is the main active ingredient.
