This study was aimed to establish a method for the determination of octylacetate in Jing-Fu-Kang (JFK) granules. The content was determined by GC with Agilent HP-5 (30 m × 0.32 mm × 0.25μm) capillary column, with hydrogen flame ionization (FID) as detector. The injector temperature was 220℃. The detector temperature was 260℃. The split ratio was 20:1. At first, the temperature should be maintained to 80℃for 2 min, and then heating up to 200℃with the speed of 10℃·min-1. This temperature was maintained for 10 min. The results showed that the good linear relationship of octylacetate was within the range of 0.156 5-7.824 2 mg·mL-1, r=0.999 9. The average recovery rate was 100.00%, and RSD was 1.91%(n=9). The lowest detection limit of octylacetate was 1.633 6 ng. It was concluded that the established method was simple and reproducible with no interference. It can be applied to the quality control of JFK granules.

AIM: To observe the changes of glutamate and calcium within the hippocampal microenvironment in mitochondrial stress.METHODS: A lateral hippocampus was microperfused with glutamate and calcium chloride solution by a kind of single-pumped push-pull perfusion system in Tree Shrews.At 24 h,the expression of cytochrome C(Cyt C)was observed by immunochemistry.Also,the hippocampus was removed,then mitochondria and cytoplasmic fragment were divided by low temperature centrifugation and the distribution of cytochrome C was assessed through Western blotting.The relative amounts of caspase-3 and caspase-9 mRNA were evaluated by real time fluorescence polymerase chain reaction.In the treated group,cyclosporin A(CsA,40 mg/kg) was intravascularly injected at 6 h after perfusion of glutamate-calcium chloride solutions into the hippocampus and inspected the above-mentioned items at 24 h.RESULTS: In the glutamate-calcium group,compared with the control group,cytochrome C immunoreactivity increased and the content of hippocampal mitochondrial cytochrome C decreased.Also,the cytochrome C was detected in cytosol.Cyclosporin A treatment at 6 h after microperfusion,the cytochrome C expression weakened and no Cyt C in cytosol fraction was observed.By real time PCR,in relation to the control group,the caspase-3 and caspase-9 mRNA was higher in the glutamate-calcium group.Cyclosporin A treatment cut down both caspase-3 and caspase-9 mRNA contents.CONCLUSION: The accumulation of glutamate and calcium may promote Cyt C release,caspase cascade activation and the mitochondrial stress.The neuroprotection of CsA may results from uniquely inhibiting the mitochondrial permeability transition pore,and preventing Cyt C release and caspase activation.
