This study was aimed to establish a HPLC method for the content determination of liposoluble components, such as dihydrotanshione I, croptotanshinone, tanshinone I and tanshinone IIA, as well as the content determination of water-soluble components, such as danshensu, protocatechuic aldehyde, rosmarinc acid, salvianolic acid B, and salvianolic acid A in Danshen capsule simultaneously. For liposoluble components, the determination was performed on a Welch ultimate XB-C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) by gradient elution using acetonitrile-water as the mobile phase. The flow rate was 1 mL·min-1. And the detection wavelength was set at 270 nm. For water-soluble components, the determination was performed on a Thermo Syncronis C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5μm) by gradient elution using methanol-acetonitrile-0.02%phosphoric acid as the mobile phase. The flow rate was 1 mL·min-1. And the detection wavelength was set at 286 nm. The results showed that there were good linear relationships between components of peak areas and the ranges were 0.472-9.44 μg (r = 0.999 8) for danshensu, 0.352-7.04 μg (r = 0.999 9) for protocatechuic aldehyde, 0.244-4.88 μg (r = 1.000 0) for rosmarinc acid, 2.268-45.36 μg (r = 0.999 9) for salvianolic acid B, 0.168-3.36 μg (r = 0.999 9) for salvianolic acid A, 0.088-1.76 g(r=0.999 9) for dihydrotanshione I, 0.18-3.6μg (r=0.999 9) for croptotanshinone, 0.208-4.16μg (r=0.999 9) for tanshinone I, and 0.17-3.4μg (r=0.999 9) for tanshinone IIA. Average recoveries of the method were between 97.48%and 98.59%. It was concluded that the analysis was stable and reproducible, which can be used as a method for the analysis of Danshen capsule.

Objective To evaluate the importance of clinical screening and follow up by direct colonoscopy for colorectal cancer at an early and curable stage. Methods There were 2 196 elderly people aged between 60 to 89 years. The clinical screening by direct colonoscopy was performed according to the protocol. 1 740 of 2 196(79.2%) patients were followed up every year. Results Fifty two elderly persons were found to be colorectal cancer patients by colonoscopy, with the detectable rate being 2.4%. Nineteen were diagnosed early stage colorectal cancer, accounting for 36.5% of the detected colorectal cancer. Nine among the followed up cases were detected early colorectal cancer, accounting for 45 0% of the detected colorectal cancer. The resectable rate and the 5 year survival rate was 97 7% and 80 9% for colorectal cancer, respectively. 98 9% of the cecum intubation cases was successful. The incidence of complication for colonoscopy was 0 05%. Conclusions By clincal colonscopy screening and follow up study for colorectal cancer and precancerous changes in the elderly, the patients with adenomatoid polyps were early diagnosed and treated, so it raised the detectable rate of early colorectal cancer and the level of grade prevention of colorectal cancer.

Objective:To study the effect of Liuwei Dihuang decoction (LW) on secretion of testosterone in the testis leydig cells of senescence accelerated mouse (SAM). Methods:The level of testosterone in the testis leydig cells of SAM with aging and the effect of LW on the secretion of testosterone were observed using cultured testis leydig cells in vitro.Results:The level of testosterone in the testis leydig cells of SAMP8 with aging was significantly decreased and showed a significant difference compared with age-matched SAMR1. Chronic administration of LW (2.5 and 5.0 g/kg) for 5 months significantly ameliorated the secretion of testosterone in SAMP8 compared with control group. Conclusions:The secretory function of testis leydig cells was reduced in SAMP8 with aging. LW ameliorated the secretion of testosterone in the testis leydig cells,indicating that LW could antagonize or delay the deterioration of the testis leydig cells in SAMP8.
