AIM: To analyse the variety of the alkaloid and volatile oil from Herba Ephedrae after mix-fring with honey. METHODS: The volatile oil was analysed by GC-MS and the total alkaloids were determined by method of Chp. RESULTS: The volatile oil changed distinctly. The contents of Isolineole、p-Cymene、D-limonene、Evcalyptol、?-Terpinen increased evidently, but the contents of Benzaldehyde、Tetramethylpyrazine、p-Vinylanisole、?-Terpineol、?-Terpineol decreased and the contents of the total alkaloids decrease as well. CONCLUSION: The study provides a new experimental basis for the process theory of Herba Ephedrae.

Objective To investigate the dynamic variation of flavonoids contents in the flowers of Citrus grandis at different flowering periods. Methods The content of total flavonoids in the flowers of Citrus grandis was determined by means of ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy ,and the contents of naringin and rhoifolin were determined by HPLC. Results The content of total flavonoids in the flowers during the flower withering period ,the young fruit period ,the blossom period,and the budding period was 306.90 mg.g-1,277.93 mg.g-1,215.55 mg.g-1 and 162.74 mg.g-1 respectively. The naringin content during the above four different periods was 246.31 mg.g-1,213.93 mg.g-1,175.94 mg.g-1 and 130.90 mg.g-1 respectively. The rhoifolin content during the four periods was unchanged. Conclusion The contents of total flavonoids and naringin in flowers of Citrus grandis during flower withering period are the highest.

To compare the chemical components of supercritical extracts from Herba Ephedrae and honey-prepared Herba Ephedrae. Volatile oils were extracted from Herba Ephedrae and honey-prepared Herba Ephedrae by supercritical CO 2 extraction and then identified by the combination of gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Twenty kinds of components such as diethylsulfate obtained from Herba Ephedrae were not found in honey-prepared Herba Ephedrae and twelve different components such as hydroxymethylfurfural were obtained from honey-prepared Herba Ephedrae. The extraction rate of volatile oils was 2.1% in herba ephedrae and 1.0% in honey-prepared Herba Ephedrae. [ Conclusion]The components of supercritical extractions from Herba Ephedrae differ from those in honey-prepared Herba Ephedrae.

Objective To supply evidence for quality control of Herba Ephedra by determining content limit in different batches of medicinal material of Herba Ephedra.Methods A RP-HPLC method was used for the determination of ephedrine and pseudo-ephedrine. The chromatographic conditions were: Kromasil RP-C18(250?4.6 mm,5 ?m) column, a mixture of 0.3 %phosphoric acid-methanol (10∶90) as mobile phase and 213nm as detected wavelengths.Results The contents of the above two alkaloids showed great difference among the 14 patches of tested samples. The content of ephedrine ranged 0.361 %～1.538 %and that of pseudo-ephedrine 0.332～2.087 %. The suggested content limitation of ephedrine should be 1.082 %, and that of psedoephedrine be 1.008 %in the crude Herba Ephedra.Conclusion The established method has been proven to be simple, stable and repeatable, and can be applied for quality control of the crude crude Herba Ephedra and compound prescriptions containing crude Herba Ephedra.

Objective To investigate the methods of isolation,culture,identification and labeling of mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) in vitro and lay a foundation for further study on intervention of MSCs on immunologic rejection of organ transplantation. Methods MSCs were isolated and cultivated by adherent methods . The expressions of CD90 and CD45 of cells were analyzed by using flow cytometry in order to identify MSCs.The third generation of MSCs were labeled by DAPI,the labeling efficiency was detected.Results Primary cultured MSCs adhered to plastic surface within 48 h and reached 90% confluence within 7-10 d .Flow cytometry showed that the positive rates of CD90 and CD45 of MSCs at third generation were 99.8% and 6.8%. MSCs expressed CD90 but no CD45.All of the MSCs after labeling by DAPI showed blue fluorescence by immunofluoroscope. DAPI labeling was sensitive and highly efficient to MSCs.Conclusion Adherent method is simple and easy to isolate and cultivate MSCs and it can serve as a routine method.DAPI labeling can be used as a efficient method to label MSCs.

Objective To construct the murine allogeneic acute GVHD model.Methods C57BL/6 (H-2b) mice were used as the donors and Balb/c (H-2d) mice as the recipients in allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT).Groups were set as total body radiation (TBI) control group (n =4),GVHD group (n =10),simple BM transplantation group (n =10) and normal control group (n =4).For TBI control group,mice were subjected to TBI but did not receive BMT after radiation.For GVHD group,5 days before TBI,gentamycin (320 mg/L) and erythromycin (250 mg/L) were added into the drinking water,and on the day of transplantation,mice received one total dose of 8.0 Gy 60Coγ TBI,and within 5 h,2 × 106 C57BL/6 BM cells and 1 × 107 C57BL/6 spleen cells were transfused per mouse via the tail vein.For simple BMT group,the pretreatment was the same as GVHD group,and mice received only 2 × 106 C57BL/6 BM cells per mouse via the tail vein.The mental status,activity,posture,fur,weight,and stool were observed after transplantation.Survival time of each mouse was recorded,survival rate was calculated,and survival curve was drawn.Pathological examination was done for the liver,skin,small intestine and BM on the brink of death.Results The median survival time (MST) in TBI control group,GVHD group and BMT group was (9.0 ± 0.7),(32.0 ± 3.2) and ( 17.5 ± 1.6) days respectively,and there was significant difference between every two groups (P ＜ 0.01 ).Pathological examination in TBI control group showedhematopoiesis exhaustion.GVHD group showed acute GVHD symptoms 10-13 days after allo-BMT,and the pathological changes of the skin,liver and small intestine corresponded to those of Ⅰ to Ⅱ degree of GVHD.Simple BMT group also showed acute GVHD symptoms 10-13 days after alloBMT,but their GVHD manifestation and histological changes were less serious and only 0 to Ⅰ degree of GVHD could be seen.ConclusionStable acute GVHD model can be constructed by transfusion of allogeneic BM cells and spleen cells into Balb/c mice after lethal TBI.
