Objective To develop an assay method for quantitative analysis of cocaine in rat's serum by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Method Serum samples (30?l) were extracted with 2% isoamyl alcohol and hexane. The organic phase was extracted with 0.1 mol/L HC1. The quantitative analysis was achieved by using a 5?m reversed-phase Kromasil CIS column with mobile phase of 0.04mol/ L phosphate buffer solution (containing 0.26 mmol/L tetrabutylammonium chloride , pH3.2) - acetonitrile (83:17). The wave length of the ultraviolet detection was performed at 235nm. Results The lowest limit of the detection limit was 25ng/ml. The recovery of the cocaine was 71 %. Conclusion The method is sensitive, simple and easy to perform.

Object To determine the variety of aconitine and tetrandrin in decocting Radix Aconiti and Radix Stephaniae Tetrandrae separately and compatibly, and explore the mechanism of synergy between above two decocted herbs. Methods TLCS was used to determine the contents of aconitine and tetrandrin in separate decoctions and compatible decoction, respectively. Results The contents of both aconitine and tetrandrin were less in compatible decoction than in separate ones. Conclusion A scientific basis is provided by the compatible decoction of the two herbs for more effective and attenuate use.

The mature seeds and excised embryos of Dalbergia odorifera were used as materials to study the effect of moisture content on their survival, as well as the effect of rapid freezing and vitrification freezing method on seeds and in vitro embryos cryopreservation. The results showed that the germination rate and vigor decreased from 82.67%, 85% to 18.35%, 25% respectively, when the seed moisture content decreased from 15.04% to 8.14%; and the germination rate decreased from 82.67% to 37.50%, 25.37% respectively by vitrification freezing method and rapid freezing method, when the seed moisture content decreased from 15.04% to 9.37%. Among all the moisture content gradient, 12.35% moisture reached the maximal germination rate, which were 63.58% and 50.45% respectively by vitrification freezing and rapid freezing; and when the embryo moisture content was 26.32%, the germination rate decreased from 95.67% to 58.31% and 33.82% respectively by vitrification freezing and rapid freezing. And when the moisture content was in the range of 14.17% -21.34%, the germination rate was a bit of decrease. The experiment results showed that the optimum conditions of seed cryopreservation were: moisture content 12.35%, vitrification freezing; and the optimum conditions of in vitro embryo cryopreservation were: moisture 15.04%, vitrification freezing. In conclusion, the effects of moisture content on germination rate after cryopreservation in D. odorifera seeds and embryo were significant, and vitrification freezing method is much better than rapid freezing method.
