Objective:To improve the quality standard for Qingyuantiaozhi capsules. Methods:The main components of the prep-aration, such as Chrysanthemum, Anthraquinones, Hawthorn and Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, were identified by TLC qualitatively. The content of chlorogenic acid in chrysanthemum was determined by HPLC. A DIKMA Spursil C18(250 ×4.6 mm,5 μm)column was used with methanol-0. 2% phosphoric acid solution(9 ∶91) as the mobile phase. The flow rate was 1. 0 ml·min-1, the detection wavelength was set at 327 mn and the sample size was 20 μl. Results:The spots in TLC were clear without any interference. The cali-bration curve was linear within the range of 4. 425 2-30. 976 4μg·ml-1(r=0. 999 9) for chlorogenic acid. The average recovery was 101. 18% (RSD=1. 88%, n=6). Conclusion:The improved quality standard is specific, accurate and reproducible, which can be used for the quality control of Qingyuantiaozhi capsules.

Objective To investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine pre-treatment on pneumonocyte apoptosis and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) in acute lung injury (ALI) induced by ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) during orthotopic liver transplantation in rats.Methods Forty adult male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into four groups by random number table method: sham operation group, I/R model group, dexmedetomidine low dose group and dexmedetomidine high dose group, 10 rats per group. Hepatic artery was ligated and cut off by two cuff method, and the portal vein was completely opened after donor liver transplanted into the recipient, thus, a hepatic I/R model was established. The perihepatic ligaments of rats were just separated after laparotomy in sham operation group and no other special treatment was performed. One hour prior to I/R, dexmedetomidine at a dose of 2.5μg·kg-1·h-1 and 5.0μg·kg-1·h-1, respectively, were pumped intravenously and finished within 1 hour in the rats of low dose group and high dose group. After experiment, the lung tissue was taken, and the lung wet/dry weight (W/D) ratio was determined. Pathological changes of lung tissue were observed and alveolar damage index of quantitative assessment (IQA) was tested by light microscope, and changes of ultrastructure of lung tissue were observed by transmission electron microscope. The mRNA and protein expressions of CHOP were detected respectively by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western Blot. The apoptosis in lung tissue was determined by terminal-deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL) method and apoptosis index (AI) was calculated.Results Compared to sham operation group, the lung W/D ratio (4.94±0.84 vs. 2.29±0.54), IQA [(40.52±5.15)% vs. (4.55±1.85)%] and AI [(36.57±5.85)% vs. (2.85±0.95)%] in I/R model group were significantly higher (allP < 0.01); remarkable injury of lung tissue was confirmed by light microscope and transmission electron microscope in the I/R model group. Compared to I/R model group, the W/D ratio (3.29±0.85, 2.68±0.78 vs. 4.94±0.84), IQA [(23.69±2.62)%, (15.86±3.61)% vs. (40.52±5.15)%] and AI [(25.73±3.71)%, (14.66±2.61)% vs. (36.57±5.85)%] in dexmedetomidine low and high dose groups were markedly lower (allP < 0.01); under light and transmission electron microscopes, the injury of lung tissue in these two dose groups was notably alleviated. There was a large amount of apoptotic cells of pulmonary vascular endothelium and alveolar epithelium in I/R model group, while the cell apoptosis was distinctly decreased in dexmedetomidine low and high dose groups compared to that in model group. Compared to sham operation group, the expressions of CHOP mRNA [absorbance (A) value: 0.96±0.18 vs. 0.43±0.08] and protein (gray scale: 2.79±0.74 vs. 1.02±0.27) were significantly higher in I/R model group (bothP < 0.01). Compared to I/R model group, the expressions of CHOP mRNA (A value: 0.69±0.13, 0.56±0.12 vs. 0.96±0.18) and protein (gray scale: 1.96±0.58, 1.34±0.49 vs. 2.79±0.74) were significantly lower in dexmedetomidine low and high dose groups, the decrease in dexmedetomidine high dose group being more marked (allP < 0.01).Conclusion The pretreatment of dexmedetomidine can protect lung tissue against I/R injury during liver transplantation in rats, and the mechanism may be related to the suppression of CHOP activation and alleviation of lung tissue cell apoptosis.

Objective:In the background of the national promotion of DIP insurance payment reform,using empirical data to evaluate the initial effects of payment reforms in typical traditional Chinese medicine hospitals.Methods:It collected inpatient case data from a Chinese medicine hospital in S city,encompassing a total of 207 500 cases from 2016 to 2022,and the differences between before and after the reform were analyzed using key indicators such as medical costs.Interrupted time series was applied to analyze the initial effects of the reform based on three intervention time points:reform implementation,epidemic development and static management.Logistic regression was applied to explore the main influencing factors,and recommendations for refinement were made based on the results of the key informant interviews.Results:It was found that the percentage of the high hospitalization cost group,high self-pay cost group and high bed-day cost group increased after the reform.There was an overall increasing trend in bed-day costs after the reform.Age,being married,operation times and average grade of operations,and death were the common influences.Conclusion:The initial stage of the DIP insurance payment reform was not effective in regulating medical costs.Demographic changes,strong intervention in epidemics,and the tendency of Chinese medicine hospitals to perform surgeries all tend to lead to an increase in hospitalization costs.At the same time,factors such as the shortage of policy interpretation and the lack of incentives for medical staff have affected the effectiveness of the reform.It was suggested that the DIP insurance payment reform of the Chinese medicine hospitals should be further promoted by strengthening the interpretation of policies and changing the solidification model,establishing positive incentives for medical staff,and adding indicators of traditional Chinese medicine characteristics.This will further fully leverage the advantages of Chinese medicine characteristics and enhance the substance and quality of Chinese medicine services.
