OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of Salvionolic acids dialyzate on anaphylatoxin,C-reactive protein(CRP),interleukin-6(IL-6)and tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?)in peripheral blood of patients with maintenance hemodialysis(MHD)and to discuss whether the Salvionolic acids dialyzate could improve the blood-membrane biocompatibility.METHODS:Thirty-six patients undergoing MHD for at least half a year were randomly divided into 3 groups:control group(conventional hemodialysis,n=12),low-dose group(dialysate with salvionolic acids 40 mg?L-1,n=12)and high-dose group(dialysate with Salvionolic acids 80 mg?L-1,n=12).Dialyzer of the polysulfone membranes was firstly used in all patients.Patients' blood sampling was scheduled before dialysis,30 minutes after dialysis and at the end of dialysis(5 minutes before withdrawal of dialyzer)for measurement of serum levels of complement(C3a,C5a),CRP,IL-6 and TNF-? using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).RESULTS:As compared with before dialysis,the levels of C3a and C5a in both control group and low-dose group were evidently increased at 30 minutes,while the difference in high-dose group was nonsignificant.No significant differences of IL-6 and TNF-? were found between pre-dialysis and post-dialysis in three groups.As compared with before dialysis,the concentration of CRP in control and low-dose groups obviously increased but decreased obviously in high-dose group after dialysis.CONCLUSION:The production of C3a,C5a and CRP in the process of hemodialysis could be inhibited by a certain dose of Salvionolic acids dialyzate,which can improve the biocompatibility of the dialysis-membrane to some degree,but can't improve the levels of IL-6 and TNF-? after single-time dialysis.

Rhynchophylla is a Chinese herb commonly used in clinical practice. It's also the primary herb of some famous Chinese herbal compound such as Tianma Gouteng decoction, and Lingyang Gouteng decoction. According the record from many previous materia medica literatures, rhynchophylla should be added later during decoction. Pharmaceutical research showed that rhynchophylla alkaloids were not stable. Which has resulted in many problems in the research and its application. For example, there was not a quantitative determination method in "Chinese Pharmacopoeia" of past and present versions, which seriously impacted its quality control and product application. Firstly, records from previous materia medica literatures and "Chinese Pharmacopoeia" were systematically sorted based on the chemical stability of rhynchophylla. Secondly, pharmaceutical research including chemical compositions and their stability, pharmacological effects, extraction process and quality analysis, was reviewed after reference of literatures published at home and abroad in recent decades. Positive reference and evidence for further research and development of rhynchophylla will be provided in the article.
