Ecotope and distribution of Gynostemma BI. in Guizhou Province was surveyed. Four species of G. BI. including one new and one newly recorded speccies were found in this Province.

Objective:To analyze the characteristics of infectious diseases from neurology ward and provide reference for the treat-ment. Methods:The consultation record of the neurological patients who suffered infection diseases were retrospectively summarized from January 2011 to December 2013. All the consultation were performed by clinical pharmacists. SPSS 19. 0 software was used to an-alyze the adoption and prognosis of the outcomes. Results:In 439 consultation cases,256 patients(58. 31%)were older than 65 years. Most of the cases were respiratory infection(294 cases,65. 33%),urinary tract infection(40 cases,8. 89%)and intracranial infection(37 cases,8. 22%). There were 510 strains of bacteria isolated by culturing,in which 362 strains were gram-negative bacte-ria(70. 98%),127 strains were gram-positive bacteria(24. 90%)and 21 strains were fungi(4. 12%). The top five of pathogenic bac-teria were Pseudomonas aeruginosa(125 stains,24. 51%),Acinetobacter baumannii(93 stains,18. 24%),Staphylococcus aureus(88 stains,17. 25%),Staphylococcus aureus(68 stains,13. 33%)and Escherichia coli. (32 stains,6. 27%). The detection rates of ESBLs of K. pneumonia and E. coli were 61. 36% and 75. 00%,respectively. Among 125 strains of P. aeruginosa,the sensitive rate to meropenem and inipenem was 65. 8% and 70. 6%,respectively. A. baumannii was highly multidrug resistant,and 21 strains (22. 58%)with pan-drug resistance were isolated. Gram-positive bacteria were highly sensitive to vancomycin and teicoplanin. Totally 35 strains(52. 24%)of MRSA were isolated. The complete adoption rate of consultation opinion was 84. 74%(372 cases),the partial adoption rate was 7. 28%(32 cases),and 35 cases(7. 97%)were declined. In all the adopted cases(319 cases,78. 96%)showed effectiveness. In the linear correlation analysis,the consultation adoption and therapy outcomes had significant correlation(P<0. 01). Conclusion:Clinical pharmacists can improve the efficiency in anti-infection therapy and play important roles in the treatment of infec-tious diseases in neurology ward,especially in the treatment of drug-resistant bacterial infections.

Objective To analyze the relationship between biochemical level and severity levels and clinical,duration of disease in patients with Parkinson Disease (PD).Methods 69 patients with PD and 69 healthy persons of similar sex and age were selected in the research.Serum uric acid and lipids levels were examined and compared.Results The serum uric acid,triglycerides,total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were (322.48 ± 66.18) μmol/L,(1.22 ± 0.86) mmol/L,(4.70 ± 0.92) mmol/L and (3.00 ± 0.85) mmol/L in control group,and (384.23 ± 88.28) μmol/L、(1.64 ± 0.94) mmol/L、(5.37 ± 1.31) mmol/L、(3.53 ± 1.03) mmol/L in control group.The differences are significant (t =-4.68,P =0.000;t =-2.74,P =0.007;t =-2.74,P =0.007;t =-3.49,P =0.001;t =-3.27,P =0.001).Serum UA concentration and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C),LDL-C were lower in patients with Parkinson's disease in duration of disease more than 3 years than those in duration of disease less than 3 years (t =3.373,P =0.001;t =2.440,P =0.017).The serum UA levels of any stages of PD patients were lower than the control group (P ＜ 0.05) according to Hoehn-Yahr staging.All lipid levels in early and middle stage PD disease patients were lower than those in control group (P ＜ 0.05).Serum UA,total cholesterol and HDL-C in female PD patients were (305.69 ± 54.25) μmol/L,(4.99 ± 0.95) mmol/L,(1.25 ± 0.27) mmol/L,and (339.76 ± 73.40) μmol/L,(4.41 ± 0.81) mmol/L,(1.06 ± 0.19) mmol/L in male patients.The difference is significant (t =2.198,P =0.031;t =-2.721,P =0.008;t =-3.266,P =0.002).Multivariate logistic regression models assessed lower uric acid concentrations is the risk of PD (OR =1.01,95％ CI 1.004 ～ 1.015,P =0.001).Conclusion Biochemical level changed differently in Parkinson disease and uric acid reduction could be a risk factor for PD.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the origin of medicinal plants in Guizhou province, revise the incorrectly recorded species, and correct the erroneous and incomplete Latin names.

METHODExamination was implemented on species, Latin name and geographical distribution of medicinal plants recorded in 'Medicinal Material Resources of Guizhou'.

RESULTIt was found that 98 species and 4 varieties were absent in Guizhou province or their Latin names were incorrect in 17 families.

CONCLUSIONThe origin of medicinal plants in Guizhou province was studied and the incorrect Latin names were revised. It provides a basis for standardization of medicinal plants in Guizhou province.

OBJECTIVETo determine quercetin and kaempferol in the plant of genus Dysosma that come from different species, different plant parts or different growing areas, which provide the basis of rational utilization of Dysosma plants.

METHODThe analysis was performed on a Diamonsil C18 column (4.6 mm x 150 mm, 5 microm) eluted with the mobile phase of methanol-water containing 0.1% phosphoric acid (60:40). The flow rate was 1 mL x min(-1), the detection wavelength was 360 nm; and the column temperature was set at 25 degrees C.

RESULTThe linear ranges of quercetin and kaempferol are 0.22-1.1 microg and 0.42-2.1 microg. The average recoveries of quercetin and kaempferol are 97.1% (RSD 1.4%) and 99.6% (RSD 2.4%); respectively.

CONCLUSIONThe contents of flavones in different species of Dysosma are significantly different.
