OBJECTIVEAn UPLC method was developed to evaluate the quality of Paeoniae Radix by simultaneously determining four components, paeoniflorin, albiflorin, benzoylpaeoniflorin and paeonol in Paeoniae Radix Alba decoction pieces.
METHODThe UPLC chromatographic column was ACQUITY UPLC® HSS T3. The mobile phase was acetonitrile-0.05% phosphoric acid water with gradient elution. The column temperature was 30 °C and detection wavelength was 230 nm with a flow rate of 0.4 mL · min(-1). A linear model was obtained through principal component analysis (PCA), and PCA scores were used to evaluate the quality of Radix Paeoniae Alba decoction pieces comprehensively.
RESULTPaeoniflorin, albiflorin, benzoylpaeoniflorin and paeonol could be well separated from other components, and the results of specificity, precision, repeatability, linearity, recovery rate and stability reached the standards, respectively. The content of paeoniflorin in 9 batches of Paeoniae Radix Alba decoction pieces was below the standard given by Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2010 edition). Using the comprehensive scoring method with principal component analysis, the results showed that the samples from Zhejiang province have better quality than those from Anhui and Shandong provinces.
CONCLUSIONThe method established in this study can effectively determine the content of paeoniflorin, albiflorin, benzoylpaeoniflorin and paeonol, which could be used for quality control of Paeoniae Radix Alba.

After studying the discipline of chemical components distribution in peony root, it was found that the content distribution of albiflorin, paeoniflorin, benzoylpaeoniflorin and paeonol was inhomogeneous in different parts of peony root, as same as in different roots belonging to a same plant. Therefore, in order to minimize the effects of different qualities of materials on experimental result, the content changing percentages of four chemical components was chosen as indicators to study processing method of Paeoniae Radix Alba. The processing technique of Paeoniae Radix Alba was put peony roots in the boiled water for at most ten minutes, and cut them into 2-3 mm slices after peeling the root bark, finally dry them in a oven under 55 degrees C, which was similar to the traditional processing method used in Bozhou. And the peeling, boiling and drying methods would affect the contents of albiflorin, paeoniflorin, benzoylpaeoniflorin and paeonol on several levels.

To ensure the stability of chemistry components and the convenience of operation, ultrasound method was chosen to study in this investigation. As the total common peaks area in chromatograms was set to be evaluation index, the influence on the technology caused by extraction time, ethanol concentration and liquid-to-solid ratio was studied by using single factor methodology, and the extraction technology of Paeoniae Radix Alba was optimized by using response surface methodology. The results showed that the extracting results were most affected by ethanol concentration; liquid-to-solid ratio came the second and extraction time thirdly. The optimum ultrasonic-assisted extraction conditions were as follow: the ultrasonic extraction time was 20.06 min, the ethanol concentration in solvent was 72.04%, and the liquid-to-solid ratio was 53.38 mL · g(-1), the predicted value of total common peaks area was 2.1608 x 10(8). Under the extraction conditions after optimization, the total common peaks area was 2.1422 x 10(8), and the relative deviation between the measured and predicted value was 0.86%, so the optimized extraction technology for Paeoniae Radix Alba is suitable and feasible. Besides, for the purpose of extracting more sufficiently and completely, the optimized extraction technology had more advantages than the extraction method recorded in the monogragh of Paeoniae Radix Alba in Chinese Pharmacopoeia, which will come true the assessment and utilization comprehensively.

BACKGROUND: Posterior internal fixation is one of the most common methods for thoracolumbar fractures. There is a lack of systematic evaluation about the efficacy of injured vertebra pedicle screw fixation(IVPSF)versus short-segment pedicle instrumentation (SSPI) for thoracolumbar fracture. OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical outcomes of IVPSF and SSPI for single thoracolumbar fracture through a METHODS: A computer-based on-line research of PubMed, Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, and WanFang databases was performed for the studies regarding IVPSF versus SSPI for thoracolumbar fracture from 1990 to 2016. meta-analysis. The randomized controlled trials and cohort studies were collected based on the strict criteria of inclusion and exclusion. A meta-analysis was conducted on Revman5.3 sofeware. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Eleven articles were enrolled, including 5 English and 6 Chinese ones, involving 689 patients (328 cases for IVPSF and 361 cases for SSPI). (2) The meta-analysis indicated that the operation time, blood loss and mean hospital stay showed no significant differences between two groups. IVPSF showed more effective than SSPI in the kyphotic angle correction and anterior vertebral height recovery at postoperation and 1-5 years of follow-up. Moreover, the incidence of postoperative fixation failure in IVPSF was lower than that in SSPI. (3) These findings suggest that IVPSF that reduces the postoperative fixation failure rate for thoracolumbar fractures provides better kyphosis correction and restoration of anterior vertebral height at post-operation and 1-5 years of follow-up.
