The effects of ultrafine grinding on the dissolution rates of the effective components in Sanjie Zhentong capsule (SZC) were studied in this experiment. Fine and ultrafine powder of SZC intermediates were made by ordinary grinding and ultrafine grinding technology, and then granulated by wet granulation. SZC were prepared by fine powder, ultrafine powder and ultrafine granules, respectively. With resveratrol and loureirin B as investigated indexes, dissolution rates of the four intermediates in SZC were determined by cup method and HPLC. The dissolution rates of resveratrol in SZC prepared by fine powder, ultrafine powder and ultrafine granules were 26.11%, 63.27%, 67.49%, respectively; and the dissolution rates of loureirin B were 7.160%, 20.29%, 23.05%, respectively. The dissolution rate of resveratrol and loureirin B in SZC prepared by ultrafine granules was the best. D90 size of ultrafine grinding was 13.221 μm and could improve the dissolution rates of resveratrol and loureirin B in SZC.

OBJECTIVETo study the clinicopathologic characteristics of cellular fibrous histiocytoma (CFH) with emphasis on diagnosis and differential diagnosis.

METHODSClinical and pathologic features were reviewed in 27 cases of CFH (encountered during the period from 2008 to 2012) along with outcome analysis. Immunophenotyping was performed with EnVision method.

RESULTSThe patients included 13 males and 14 females. The age at presentation ranged from 15 to 61 years (mean, 34 years; median, 32 years). The tumor occurred in the extremities (n = 14), head and neck (n = 7), and trunk (n = 6). Histologically, the tumors were located in the dermis. Some cases showed wedge like extension into the subcutaneous adipose tissue. On high power, they consisted of dense fibroblasts and myofibroblasts. Other cell components such as psammoma-like histiocytes, hemosiderin-containing macrophages or touton-type giant cells were rare. The spindled tumor cells were arranged mostly in intersecting fascicles. Focal storiform architecture was not uncommon. In addition, a few cases showed prominent hemangiopericytoma-like pattern. There was no prominent cellular atypia but increased mitotic figures were not difficult to find. Two cases exhibited necrosis. By immunohistochemistry, the tumor cells showed variable expression of alpha smooth muscle actin. CD34 positive cells were present in some cases, but were distributed mostly in the periphery or bottom of the lesions. They were all negative for desmin, h-caldesmon, S-100 protein and cytokeratin. Follow-up in 19 cases revealed local recurrences in 5 cases and bilateral pulmonary metastases in 1 case after repeated recurrences.

CONCLUSIONSCFH is a cellular form of benign fibrous histiocytoma which has a risk for local recurrence after incomplete excision. Distant metastasis can occur in rare examples. However, there were no morphological parameters predicting the risk of recurrence or metastasis. Increased awareness of the clinocopathological features and immunophenotypes of CFH is helpful in avoiding misdiagnosing the disease as malignant tumors, especially dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.

OBJECTIVETo study the origin pre-treating and processing integration techniques of Paeonia Radix Alba.

METHODDifferent processing integration techniques were adopted and compared with traditional processing techniques to determine drying rate, aqueous extracts and peoniflori content.

RESULTHalf-dry slices baked at 100 degrees C for 20 min and steamed at 100 degrees C for 10 min had the highest peoniflori contents. Half-dry slices baked at 100 degrees C for 20 min had the highest content of aqueous extracts. Products processed with conventional method and sulfur-fumigation had the lowest content of aqueous extracts.

CONCLUSIONThe origin processing integration techniques of Paeonia Radix Alba lose less active ingredients than conventional processing methods.
