Objective:To optimize the extraction technology of radix scutellariae. Methods: The extraction of radix scutellariae was scanned by ultraviolet spectrophotometry from 200 to 400nm. The content of baicalin was determined by HPLC. The ultraviolet ab-sorption, baicalin content and extraction rate were used as the indices, and the optimal extraction conditions were investigated by single factor experiments and orthogonal design tests. Results: The optimal extraction conditions were as follows: the ethanol concentration was 60%, the solid-liquid ratio was 1∶40, ultrasound extraction time and temperature was 40 min and 60℃, respectively. Conclusion:The extraction of radix scutellariae has good sunscreen with promising ultraviolet absorption in UVB. Ultrasound extraction has high ex-traction yield with short time, which can be used to extract sun-screening constituents from radix scutellariae.

To establish the quality standard for Pingyou granules. Methods: Paeoniae radix, Carthamus tinctorius, Coicis semen and Nutgrass galingale rhizome were qualitatively identified by TLC. The content of peoniflorin was determined by HPLC. The separation was performed on a Lichrospher-C18 (250 mm × 4. 6 mm, 5 μm) column with the mobile phase of methanol-acetic acid (24∶76). The detection wavelength was 232nm. Results:Paeoniae radix, Carthamus tinctorius, Coicis semen and Nutgrass galingale rhizome could be identified by TLC without any interference from the negative control. The linear range of peoniflorin was 6. 560-104. 920 μg·ml-1(r=0. 999 9) with the average recovery of 98. 77%(RSD=2. 73%,n=9). Conclusion:The qualitative identifi-cation is specific and reproducible, and the quantitative method is simple, accurate and reliable, which can be used in the quality con-trol of Pingyou granules.

AIM: To study the current density of transient outward potassium current (I_(to)) in cells from the epicardial zone of the 1-week and 2-month infarcted rabbit heart. METHODS: Rabbits were infarcted by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery, 1 week as well as 2 months later, the single ventricular myocytes were isolated enzymatically from the infracted area of 1-week infracted rabbit heart (PMI-1 week) and 2-month infracted heart (PMI-2 months), region remote from the infracted zone of 2-month infracted heart (REM-2 months) and free wall of left ventricule from noninfarcted heart (CON). I_(to) was recorded using whole cell patch-clamp techniques. (RESULTS:) Membrane capacitance of myocytes in REM-2 months group was signifitantly larger than that in CON. I_(to)current density (at +60 mV) was significantly reduced in PMI-1 week [(7.5?2.4) pA/pF, n=12] and PMI-2 months [(10.6?4.1) pA/pF, n=18] compared with CON [(17.4?5.2) pA/pF, n=16], P

AIM: To study the effect of experimental acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) on sodium and L-type calcium current in rat cardiomyocytes. METHODS: I Na and I Ca-L were recorded using whole cell patch-clamp techniques from left ventricular myocytes in ANP model established by retrograde injection of 3 5% sodium taurocholate 2 5 mL/kg into pancreatic duct. RESULTS: Peak I Na current density (at -30 mV) was significantly reduced in ANP [(12 45?2 26) pA/pF, n =16] compared with sham [(25 32?3 31) pA/pF, n= 14], P
