ObjectiveTo establish a new,rapid,and reliable reversed-phase ultra performance liquid chromatography (RP-UPLC) method for the simultaneous determination of six quaternary ammonium alkaloids (QAAs) in Coptidis Rhizoma.MethodsThe effect of different experimental parameters on the analysis of QAAs by RP-UPLC was evaluatcd.ResultsOptimal resolution was achieved with an Acquity UPLC BEH C18 column using a gradient elution profile and a mobile phase consisting of water spiked with 10 mmol/L ammonium bicarbonate (A,pH adjusted to 10.0 by ammonia water) and acetonitrile (B),at a flow rate of 0.30 rnL/min and wavelength of 345 nm.The column temperature was set at 30 ℃.The proposed method was found to be reproducible,precise,and rapid according to the method validation.Conclusion The proposed method,which is compatible with MS analysis and the preparation of QAA,provides some helpful insights into the quality control of Coptidis Rhizoma.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the treatment effect of selective neurotomy of anterior ethmoid nerve and squeezing operation of inferior turbinate in the treatment of perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR).
METHOD:
Seventy cases of perennial allergic rhinitis were selected and subjected to selective neurotomy of anterior ethmoid nerve and squeezing operation of inferior turbinate,and the treatment effect was observed by analysis of the the symptoms and signs score of all cases preoperatively and postoperatively.
RESULT:
The total effective rate were 90.0% at 1 year follow-up.
CONCLUSION
Selective neurotomy of anterior ethmoid nerve and squeezing operation of inferior turbinate were effective for the patients with PAR. It is worthy to be popularized for its convent and rare complications.

OBJECTIVETo set up a novel method for fast analysis of active components in water extracting process of Paeonia lactiflora with near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS).
METHODHPLC was used as the reference method to determine the content of Paeoniflorin and a multivariate calibration model based on PLS algorithm was developed to analyze the correlation between the spectra and the corresponding values determined by the reference method.
RESULTThe correlation coefficient of the calibration model was 0.996 2, and the predicted coefficient was 0.989 5. The RMSEC and RMSEP were 0.109 g x L(-1) and 0.138 g x L(-1), respectively, and the RSEP was 5.6%.
CONCLUSIONThe method mentioned above is proved to be convenient, rapid and nondestructive, accurate and reliable, and is applicable for fast analysis and monitoring of active components in extraction process of traditional Chinese medicine.

OBJECTIVETo study the optimum technical conditions of extracting Hydroxysafflor yellow A (HSYA) from Carthmus tinctorius by multi-stage countercurrent extraction technology.
METHODThe effects of extraction time of each stage, extraction temperature, ethanol concentration and solid-liquid ratio (g x mL(-1)) on extraction yield of HSYA were studied by orthogonal test design and the comparison of other extraction methods were presented.
RESULTExtraction time and solid-liquid ratio had significant influence on the extraction yield, and the optimum parameters were as follows: Extraction time of each stage was 120 min, solid-liquid ratio was 1 : 10 (g x mL(-1)), ethanol concentration was 30%, and extracted at room temperature. Under the optimum conditions, the extraction yield of HSYA was 1.56% and the purity of the extract was 6.06%. Compared with the traditional extraction method and the ultrasonic extraction method of the pharmacopoeia, the extraction yield was increased by 6.12% and 9.09%, the purity of extract was increased by 42.9% and 27.0%, respectively.
CONCLUSIONThe multi-stage countercurrent extraction technology has many advantages such as simple operation, less solvent consumption, higher extraction yield and purity of extract and it has wide industrial application prospect.

For the quality management system of herbal medicines, intermediate and finished products it exists the " short board" effect of methodologies. Based on the concept of process control, new strategies and new methods of the production process quality control had been established with the consideration of the actual production of traditional Chinese medicine an the characteristics of Chinese medicine. Taking Banlangen granule as a practice example, which was effective and widespread application, character identification, determination of index components, chemical fingerprint and biometrics technology were sequentially used respectively to assess the quality of Banlangen herbal medicines, intermediate (water extraction and alcohol precipitation) and finished product. With the transfer rate of chemical information and biological potency as indicators, the effectiveness and transmission of the above different assessments and control methods had been researched. And ultimately, the process quality control methods of Banlangen granule, which were based on chemical composition analysis-biometric analysis, had been set up. It can not only validly solute the current status that there were many manufacturers varying quality of Banlangen granule, but also ensure and enhance its clinical efficacy. Furthermore it provided a foundation for the construction of the quality control of traditional Chinese medicine production process.
