Objective To establish the HPLC fingerprint of amino acids compounds from Buzhong Yiqi Pill.Methods A pre-column derivatization HPLC method was adopted with praline as a reference.Separation was performed on a AccQ? TagTM C18(3.9? 150 mm)analytical column with mobile phase consisting of 0.15 mol/L sodium acetate buffer solution and 60 % acetonitrile,gradient elution with the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min.The column temperature was at 37 ℃.The Fluorescence detecting wavelength was set at 250 nm(excitation wavelength)and 395 nm(emission wavelength),the analysis time was 35 min.Results Twelve common peaks on the HPLC fingerprints of Buzhong Yiqi Pill were presented.The similarity was determined by the correlation coefficient,included angle cosine coefficient and evaluation software of chromatogram fingerprint similarity.The results showed the similarity for 10 bathes of samples was in 0.97～ 1.00.Conclusion Good fingerprints were obtained,which can be used for the quality control of Buzhong Yiqi Pill.

Objective To evaluate prognostic significance of c-kit and PDGFR-α gene mutation in extragastrointestinal stromal tumors(EGIST). Methods Paraffin embedded tissue specimens from 23 EGISTs were tested for CD117,CD34 and Ki-67 expression by immunohistochemical method.EGIST cases were also tested for the presence of c-kit exons 9,11,13,17 mutations and PDGFR-α exons 12,18 mutations.Kaplan-meier survival rate was used to evaluate the prognostic factors. Results Of 23 cases of EGIST,23(100%)were positive for CD117,17(74%)were positive for CD34.For Ki-67 labeling index(Ki-67 LI):30%were＜1%,44%were between 1%-5%,26%were＞5%.C-kit mutations were detected in 44% of EGIST patients and all were of exon 11 mutations.PDGFR-α mutations were found in 13%of all the 23 cases and all were of exon 18 mutations(The commonest type of mutation D842V).Survival analysis indicated that mitotic count and Ki-67 index were significant predictors for survival.Conclusion The pattern of c-kit and PDGFR-α mutation in EGIST was essentially similar to that in GIST.But the mutation frequency of PDGFR-α was slightly higher in EGIST than in GIST.EGIST could be a special subtype of GIST.The results of this study also show combination of mitotic counts and Ki-67 labeling index may be useful for predicting the prognosis of EGIST.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect and safety of Yinao Capsul es for neurasthenia with the syndrome of liver-kidney deficiency and Qi-yin de ficiency. Methods A multi-center,randomized,single-blind and positive drug p arallel controlled trial was adopted. Three hundred and forty-two cases in the treatment group were treated with Yinao Capsules,and 111 cases in the control g roup were treated with Naolinsu Capsules. Results Yinao Capsules had a total eff ective rate of 93.6 %and the markedly effective rate of 52.1 %. Compared with Naolinsu Capsules,Yinao Capsules showed a better clinical effect (P

In order to protect the trial subjects' rights and benefits in drug clinical trials,we must pay special attention to the risk and benefit of the trial subjects(striving to minimize the risk and maximize the benefit),ensure the trial subjects' complete realization of the clinical trials and the successive informed consent,pay special attention to the protection of the specific trial subjects,and avoid the conflict of interests.

Objective To investigate the effect of Buzhong Yiqi Decoction for allergic rhinitis(AR)with spleen -qi de-ficiency in guinea pigs.Methods AR guinea -pig model was established by intraperitoneal injection of ovalbumin for general sensitization and then by nasal drip of ovalbumin for local sensitization.Spleen -qi deficiency mod el was induced by gastric infusion of cold -maceration extract of Radix et Rhizoma Rhei.Fifty -four guinea pigs were randoml y allocated to four groups:AR group(Group A),AR model with spleen -qi deficiency group(Group B),AR model with spleen -qi deficiency treated by Buzhong Yiqi group(Group C)and blank control group(Group D).Nasal symptoms were observed.The number of eosinophils(EOS )in nasal secretion was detected by sm ear cytologic examination and the number of EOS and mastocyte in nasal mucosa was exa mined by pathological section.Results Before local sensitization,nasal s ymp-toms such as nose scratching,sneezing and nasal discharge in Group A,Gro up B and Group C were severer than those in Group D and were improved in Group C in the late stage.Positive rate of EOS i n nasal secretion and nasal mucosa of Group C and Group D was lower than that in Group A and Group B and the differen ce was insignificant between Group C and Group D.The number of mastocyte i n Group C was lower than that in Group A and Group B.Conclusion Buzhong Yiqi Decoction can relieve nasal symptom s in AR Guinea pigs with spleen -qi deficiency by counteracting the infiltration of EOS and the increase of nastocytes in nasal mucosa.

Based on the orthogonal design of L9(34),three factors including the water amount,decocting duration and extracting times were evaluated. Results:The best extraction process was as follows:adding 12-fold amount of water and extracting 3 times with 30 min for each time. Conclusion:The extraction technology opti-mized by the components evaluation is reasonable and practicable.

Objective:To test the practical effect of the research projects outpatient strategy for application of the National Natural Science Foundation (NSFC) in a hospital of Chinese medicine.Methods:We compared the number and success rate of the National Natural Science Foundation of China grant awards before and after the implementation of the research projects outpatient strategy, and further analyzed the promotional effect of the research projects outpatient strategy on general programs and youth scientists funds through univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression.Results:Since the implementation of the research projects outpatient strategy, both the number of NSFC grant awards and the success rate continuously increased, indicating that the strategy played a positive role in improving the overall success rate of the hospital. However, this effect was primarily reflected in the assistance provided to applications for youth scientists funds. The main favorable factor for winning general programs was the applicant′s preliminary foundation. Applicants who have previously received NSFC funding had a higher success rate.Conclusions:The strategy of research projects outpatient can promote the winning of NSFC youth scientists funds.

Objective To explore the lipid-lowering effect of Qige Decoction before and after compatibility through the combination of pharmacodynamics and liver metabolomics,and to provide new research strategies for exploring the scientific notation of traditional Chinese medicine compatibility.Methods According to the pharmacodynamic strategy,three groups of drug administration were set up as Qige Decoction group,Astragali Radix-Puerariae Radix group,and Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae group.Four indices of blood lipids,serum biochemical indicators,and liver morphology and pathology were used to evaluate the intervention effect of Qige Decoction on hyperlipidemic rats.Liver metabolomics technology was used to analyze the effects of Qige Decoction on metabolites before and after compatibility,and multivariate statistical analysis was used to evaluate the differences between groups in terms of differential metabolites and metabolic pathways.Results Compared with the model group,the callback abilities of four indices of blood lipid in the Qige Decoction group were higher than those in Astragali Radix-Puerariae Radix group and Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae group,among which the total cholesterol(TC)and triglyceride(TG)levels in the Qige Decoction group decreased(P＜0.05).A total of 86 potential biomarkers were identified by liver metabolomics,with 23,13,and 7 metabolites being significantly different in the Qige Decoction group,Astragali Radix-Puerariae Radix group,and Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae group,respectively(P＜0.05).Metabolic pathway analysis of 29 specific biomarkers with significant callback effects showed that they were related to glycerophospholipid metabolism,linoleic acid metabolism,α-linolenic acid metabolism,sphingolipid metabolism,arachidonic acid metabolism,and unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis.Qige Decoction mainly regulates glycerophospholipid and linoleic acid metabolism,and uniquely acts on sphingolipid metabolism.Conclusion Qige Decoction has more lipid-lowering targets after compatibility,with better lipid-lowering effects than the Astragali Radix-Puerariae Radix group and Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae group.This study provides experimental evidence and research strategies for further revealing the scientific notation of traditional Chinese medicine compatibility.
