OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for the simultaneous determination of paeoniflorin and paeonol in Dirda pill, and provide reference for improving its quality control standard. METHODS:HPLC was performed on the column of ZORBAX C18 with mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid (gradient elutio) at a flow rate of 0.8 ml/min,detection wavelength was 230 nm(paeoniflorin),274 nm(paeonol),columne temperature was 35 ℃,injection volume was 20 μl. RESULTS:The linear range was 0.514 8-1.544 5μg for paeoniflorin(r=0.999 2)and 0.643 2-1.960 4μg for paeonol(r=0.999 8);the limits of quantifi-cation were 0.135 6,0.126 4 μg,limits of detection were 0.067 8,0.063 2 μg;RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were lower than 2%;recoveries were 95.78%-97.27%(RSD=0.62%,n=6) and 97.38%-98.38%(RSD=0.42%,n=6). CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple with good reprosucibility and high sensibility,and can be used for the simultaneous deter-mination of paeoniflorin and paeonol in Dirda pill.

Objective:To analyze the effect of long-term care insurance on the incidence of falls in old people with disability, and the modification effect of different living arrangements.Methods:Based on the discharge diagnosis records of the hospitalization in urban residents who applied for long-term care insurance in Chengdu from July 2014 to June 2021, those who received long-term care insurance were selected as the intervention group and those who received no long-term care insurance were selected as the control group, the changes in the incidence of falls before and after the long-term care were analyzed using difference-in-differences method, and the modification effects of different living arrangements were explored using stratified analysis.Results:Long-term care insurance significantly reduced the risk for monthly incidence of falls in older adults [average treatment effects on treated (ATT) = -1.21% (95% CI: -1.82%--0.60%)], and the effect increased over time (ATT=-1.26%, 95% CI: -1.93%--0.59%). Long-term care insurance had a significant effect on reducing the incidence of falls in old people living with spouses/family members (ATT=-0.92%, 95% CI: -1.47%--0.37%) and in nursing facilities/hospitals (ATT=-2.10%, 95% CI: -3.81%--0.40%), but it had no significant effect in those living alone. Conclusions:Long-term care insurance can effectively reduce the incidence of falls in old people with disability, showing a positive effect. Living with family members or in nursing facilities/hospitals has a modification effect of the implementation of long-term care insurance policy. It is necessary to pay attention to key populations in the future and expand the coverage of long-term care insurance.
