OBJECTIVE:To establish the quality standards for Shenshuaikang granule. METHODS:TLC was used for the quali-tative identification of Astragali Radix and Rhei Radix et Rhizoma in the preparation. HPLC was used for the contents determina-tion of emodin and chrysophanol ,the column was Agilent HC-C18 with mobile phase of methanol-0.1% phosphoric acid (85:15 , V/V)at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min,the detection wavelength was 254 nm,the column temperature was 30 ℃ and the injection vol-ume was 10 μl. RESULTS:TLC showed clear spots and good separation. The linear range was 1.9-60.8 μg/ml for emodin(r=0.999 9, n=6) and 1.6-51.2 μg/ml for chrysophanol (r=0.999 9),RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were lower than 3%,recoveries were 95.76%-103.66%(RSD=2.83%,n=9)and 97.24%-104.34%(RSD=2.65%,n=9),respectively. CONCLU-SIONS:The standard can be used for the quality control of Shenshuaikang granule.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a simple and rapid preparation technique of Rifampicin eye drops.METHODS:The calculating quantity of hydrochloric acid was used to dissolve Rifampicin,then the equimol quantity of potassium hydroxide was added to neutralize the acid and yield potassium chloride,whose quantity was designed according to the prescrip?tion.RESULTS:Neutralization reaction not only overcame the difficulty of Rifampicin's dissolution in water,but also avoided the irritation to eyes caused by using ethanol as solvent.CONCLUSION:The method is well-versed in design,simple in preparation and controllable in quality.

Objective To investigate the association of interleukin-6 (IL-6) with depression using meta analysis. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted to examine depression and interleukin-6 in Chinese patients us-ing“depression”and“interleukin-6”in Databases including PubMed, CBM, VIP, CNKI and WanFang Data. A me-ta-analysis was performed to analyze correlation between depression and interleukin-6 using RevMan 5.2.8 software. Results A total of 9 studies were recruited, involving 432 depression patients and 277 healthy controls. The results of meta-analysis showed that concentration of IL-6 was higher in depression patients than in healthy controls(SMD=1.48, 95%CI:0.78~2.18,P<0.05). Subgroup analysis in the first-episode subgroup and the non first-episode subgroup showed that concentration of interleukin-6 was higher in depression patients than that in controls [the first-episode subgroup (SMD=1.94,95%CI:0.07~3.81,P<0.05), the non first-episode subgroup (SMD=1.26,95%CI:0.60~1.93,P<0.05)]. Conclusion There is a good correlation between depression and the serum IL-6 concentration. Due to the small number of studies and heterogeneity in different studies, the present meta-analysis has not yet confirmed the quantitative correla-tion between IL-6 and depression.

To obtain large quantity of human leukocyte antigen F (HLA-F) and cluster of differentiation 8alpha homodimers (CD8alphaalpha) proteins and to study their relationship, HLA-F and CD8alpha genes with rare codon in Escherichia coli were cloned using an N-terminal synonymous mutation method. High-efficiency expression protein inclusion bodies were acquired. The proteins were refolded using the dilution method and purified with gel-filtration and anion exchange chromatography. The results of gel-filtration and native-PAGE indicate that HLA-F interacts with CD8alphaalpha. This interaction may affect the binding between CD8alphaalpha and other MHC molecules to regulate immune responses. These results provide a basis for further research of HLA-F.

Objective To establish a quality standard for Ganmao granules of hospital preparations .Methods Radix Scutellariae ,cortex phellodendri and radix bupleuri were identified by thin layer chromatography (TLC) qualitatively .High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used for the content of baicalin .The determination was performed on Agilent HC-C18 column (250 mm × 4 .6 mm ,5 μm) at 30 ℃ with mobile phase composed of methanol-0 .2% phosphoric acid (43∶57) at the flow rate of 1 .0 ml/min .The detection wavelength was set at 280 nm .Results In TLC chromatograms ,the spectra of different test products had spots of the same color at corresponding sites ,with no interference from negative control .A good linearity range of baicalin was 1 .81~72 .40 μg/ml (r=0 .999 9) .The average recovery rate was 98 .55% (RSD=1 .91% ,n=9) .Conclusion The quality standard was established and the method of identification has good reproducibility .The method of determination of baicalin content improved the controllability of formulated quality of Ganmao granules .

Objective To improve quality standard of Fufang Shenghua granules.Methods TLC was used to identify chief components in the preparation, Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae and Salvia Miltiorrhiza.HPLC was applied to identify Amarogentin and to determine the content of Salvianolic acid B.Salvianolic acid B assay was performed on Agilent HC-C18(4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm) column with Acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid (23∶77)as mobile phase.The flow rate was 1.0 ml/min.The column temperature was 30 ℃.The detection wavelength was set at 286 nm.Results The spots on TLC were fairly clear with good separation.There was no interference from the negative control samples.However, HPLC was a more accurate, reliable and objective method for qualitative identification.Salvianolic acid B showed a good linear correlation in the range of 1.56~49.92 μg/ml (r=0.999 9).The average recovery was 100.07%, RSD 1.61% (n=9).Conclusion A simple, accurate and reliable method was developed for the quality control of Fufang Shenghua granules.
