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 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 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.

Objectives To explore the role of PKCβ/p66Shc oxidative stress signaling pathway in hyperoxia-induced apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells A549. Methods A549 cells were cultured in vitro and divided randomly into control (incubated with 5%CO2), hyperoxia group (exposed to a mixture of 900 ml/L O2 and 50 ml/L CO2 at speed of 3 L/min for 10 mins, then cultured in a closed environment) and LY333531 group (treated with 10μmol/L of PKCβinhibitor LY333531 for 24h then induced with hyperoxia for 10 mins). The cellular morphology was observed under inverted microscope at 12, 24 and 48 h of treatment. The cell apoptosis was detected by lfow cytometry. Expression of PKCβ/Pin1/p66Shc/p66Shc-Ser36 were detected by immunohistochemistry after 24 h of treatment. Results Comparing to the control group, the cellular morphology of A549 in the hyperoxia group changed to spherical shapes and space between cells increased, the living cell count decreased and suspension cell increased. The living cell count in LY333531 group increased and suspension cell decreased than those in hyperoxia group but not reach the levels of the control group. The apoptosis rate of A549 cells and the expression of PKCβ/Pin1/p66Shc/p66Shc-Ser36 at 24 h were signiifcantly increased in the hyperoxia group than those in the control group, while the apoptosis rate and the expression of PKCβ/Pin1/p66Shc/p66Shc-Ser36 were greatly decreased in the LY333531 group than those in the hyperoxia group (all P<0.01). Conclusions The expression of PKCβin A549 cells can be increased by the hyper-oxia induction but reduced by LY333531, and then the expressions of Pin1, p66Shc and p66Shc-Ser36 are reduced. Thus the re-duced apoptosis of A549 cells relieve the cell injury induced by hyperoxia.
