To establish a GC method to determine the related substances in pharmaceutical excipient benzyl alcohol. Methods:A GC method was used with an Agilent DB-wax eapillary column(0. 32 mm × 30 m,1. 8 μm)and programming temperature. The initial temperature was 50℃, and then raised to 220℃ with a rate of 5℃·min-1 and maintained for 35min. The detector was FID. The temperature of the injection port was 200℃,and the detector temperature was 310℃. The results were confirmed by GC-MS. Results:Within a certain range,the peak area and concentration of every impurity had a good linear relationship (r≥0. 999 9). The recovery was between 96. 1% and 102. 7%. The quantitative limit was between 1. 37-3. 63 ng. Toluene, benzyl chloride, benzalde-hyde and benzyl ether were found out in the samples. Conclusion:The method is accurate and convenient, and suitable for the quanti-tative determination of related substances in pharmaceutical excipient benzyl alcohol.

Abstract: Objective To understand the contamination status, drug resistance, virulence gene carrying status, and molecular typing characteristics of Vibrio parahaemolyticus (VP) in aquatic products sold in Nanchang City. Methods A total of 170 commercial crayfishes, freshwater fish frogs and related smears samples were collected from various farmers' markets in Nanchang from March to September 2021. The strains of V. parahaemolyticus were detected and isolated from the samples. Antibiotic resistance test, virulence gene test, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) molecular typing analysis were carried out. Results Among the collected samples, V.parahaemolyticus was only isolated from crayfish and crayfish smear samples, with a total of 35 strains of VP isolated. No V.parahaemolyticus strain was isolated from other freshwater fish, frogs, and their smear samples. Among the 17 common antibiotics tested, only two trains showed resistance to ampicillin, and one strain to streptomycin, , and all were sensitive to other antibiotics; all 35 strains of V. parahaemolyticus carried the gene, but only one strain carried the heat-resistant related hemolysin gene trh, and no direct heat-resistant hemolysin gene tdh positive strain was found; PFGE pattern clustering showed that there was no strain with the same PFGE pattern, and there was no obvious dominant cluster among these strains, and their genetic relationship was relatively distant. Conclusions The contamination of V. parahaemolyticus in small and medium-sized crayfish sold in the market in Nanchang City is relatively serious. The V. parahaemolyticus isolates in these polluted crayfish generally do not carry key virulence genes such as tdh, are sensitive to common antibiotics, and only have low-level resistance to ampicillin and streptomycin. PFGE pattern clustering showed that V. parahaemolyticus does not have no obvious dominant cluster, and these strains have rich genetic diversity, indicating that they may have different sources.

OBJECTIVEWith functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), cerebral function imaging of acupuncture and sham acupuncture at Taichong (LR 3) in patients with essential hypertension (EH) was observed to analyze central mechanism of Taichong (LR 3) to treat EH.
METHODSEighteen EH patients were divided into a twisting acupuncture group (10 cases) and a sham acupuncture group (8 cases), which were treated with twisting manipulation and sham acu- puncture at right Taichong (LR 3), respectively. The treatments were both given with 30-second manipulation and 30- second interval for totally 5 min. During the acupuncture, fMRI was adopted to scan the cerebral function imaging of EH patients on resting state, and the acquired data were analyzed with SPM2 module in Matlab software.
RESULTSAcupunc- ture at Taichong (LR 3) in EH patients mainly increased opposite-side oxygen consumption, which generally activated left anterior cingulated gyrus (BA 32), left inferior parietal lobule (BA 40), left inferior temporal gyrus (BA 19), left middle temporal gyrus (BA 37) and right anterior central gyrus (BA 6). The activated areas were related to motor, vision and cognition of emotion. Stimulation region of sham acupuncture mainly included right anterior cingulated gyrus (BA 24), left inferior parietal lobule (BA 40) and left inferior frontal gyrus (BA 7).
CONCLUSIONThe central mechanism of Tai- chong (LR 3) on antihypertensive effect and symptom improvement is not in thalamus and medulla that are traditionally believed to control blood pressure. Taichong (LR 3) could activate anterior cingulated gyrus to regulate parasympathetic nerve and lower blood pressure, and through anterior cingulated gyrus, the connection with the surrounding areas is strengthened to improve the cognitive impairment caused by long-term hypertension.

Objective To investigate the hypoglycemic effects of Laminaria japonica (L. japonica) on diabetic model induced by alloxan in rats. Methods Sixty healthy female rats were used to establish diabetic models by injecting alloxan peritoneally, and L.japonica was applied as raw materials for potential marine drugs.The levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG) were detected by automatic blood glucose device. Enzyme linkedimmunoabsorbant assay was applied to determine the insulin level in serum. The shape and structure of isletcells were observed with histopathological staining, and the expression of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in islet cells were detected by immunohistochemical technique. Results After the treatment, the levels of FBG of L.japonica treated group B [(9.37±1.70) mmol/LandC (9.18±1.65 ) mmol/L, F= 32.81, q=6.35~11.72, P<0.05 ] reduced, while the serum levels of insulin in treated group A, Band C (0.0378±0.0026, 0.0378±0.0027, 0.0367±0.0035) increased(F= 11.40, q=4.28~8.47, P<0.05) significantly than those of diabetic model group (0.0456 ±0.0057) . The shape and structure of islet cells improved with the up-expressing SOD(t=4.73~4.76, P<0.05)and down-expressing iNOS (t=4.81~5.30, P<0.05) in L.japonica treated group B and C than those in diabetic model group. Conclusion L.japonica might decrease the serum level of FBG through promoting the islet cell recovery by an anti-oxide effect.
