Objective:To determine the equilibrium solubility and n-octanol/water partition coefficients (Papp)of cinnamon acid and cinnamaldehyde. Methods:The equilibrium solubility of cinnamon acid and cinnamaldehyde in different solutions was determined by HPLC,and their n-octanol/water partition coefficients were determined by a shaking flask method combined with HPLC-DAD. Results:When the pH of solution was 7.8,the equilibrium solubility of cinnamon acid was the largest,while that of cinnamaldehyde was the largest in pH 6.8 solution. The scopes of lgPappof cinnamon acid and cinnamaldehyde in different buffer solutions(pH 1.2-7.8) were -1.04-2.27 and 0.29-1.67, respectively, while those in n-octanol/water solvent were 0.85 and 1.26, respectively. Conclusion:The method is simple,accurate and fast to predicate the absorption of chemical components. In gastrointestinal physiological environment,cinnamaldehyde has good absorption, while cinnamon acid is with poor absorption in stomach and with better absorption in intestinal.

In recent years, the contradiction between the construction of backward first aid system and the demand for emergency services in rural areas in China is increasingly serious. In order to further improve the quality and efficiency of first aid, the state has vigorously promoted the construction of the " Five Centers" , namely chest pain centers, stroke centers, trauma centers, critical maternal treatment centers, and critically ill children and neonatal treatment centers in rural areas, in an effort to develop an efficient rural emergency service network. The authors collected relevant policy documents and summarized practices of the " Five Centers" construction. On such basis, they referred to experiences of overseas emergency systems and medical rescue centers, and made focused analysis for on the functionality and mechanism of the " Five Centers" in building an innovative first-aid system, in terms of internal and external environment, institutional function positioning, resource integration, and operation mechanism. In view of the integration among " Five Centers" , pre-hospital emergency and in-hospital first aid in rural areas, information construction, personnel first aid capacity building and interest allocation, policy recommendations are proposed.
