OBJECTIVE:To develop an RP-HPLC method to determine the camphor in Bohenao zhangnao nose drops. METHODS:The HPLC separation was carried out on a Supelcosil C18(150 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m) column.The mobile phase consisted of methanol-water(70∶30) at a flow rate of 1 mL?min-1.The column temperature was 25 ℃ and the detective wa-velength was set at 289 nm. The content was computed using external standard method. RESULTS:The linear range of cam-phor was 0.1~1 mg?mL-1(r=0.999 8) with recovery rate ranged from 100% to 103%(RSD

Objective To establish the HPLC fingerprint of Xuanbo Shuangsheng Granule for its quality control.Methods The components were separated on an Agilent TC-C18 column (150 mm ×4.6 mm,5 μm) at 25 ℃,with a gradient elution in 0-60 min at the flow rate of 1 mL/min using 0.2% acetic acid aqueous solution and methanol as the mobile phase.The detection wavelength was 278 nm.By detecting 11 batches of Xuanbo Shuangsheng Granule,the HPLC fingerprint was established using Similarity Evaluation System for Chromatographic Fingerprint of TCMs (Version 2004A)and the common peaks were analyzed and identified in raw herbal material.Results The HPLC fingerprint of Xuanbo Shuangsheng Granule was obtained with similarity all over 0.9.Totally 27 common peaks were confirmed,and each common peak could be found in raw herbal medicines.Based on the reference substances,5 common peaks were identified,including phellodendrine (peak 11),liquiritin (peak 22),angoroside C (peak 25),cinnamic acid (peak 26) and harpagoside (peak 27).Conclusions This method is simple,accurate,repeatable and reliable,which could be applied in the quality control of Xuanbo Shuangsheng Granule.

Objective:To investigate the clinical settings, antibiotic susceptibilities, management and outcomes of streptococcal endophthalmitis.Methods:A retrospective observational case series study. Fifty six eyes of 56 patients diagnosed with streptococcal endophthalmitis in Eye & ENT Hospital, Fudan University from 2012 to 2022 were collected. The treatment followed the general principles of relevant guidelines, including pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), vitreous injection of antibiotics (IVI), vitreous injection of glucocorticoids and systemic application of antibiotics. The follow-up time was (11.9±17.0) months. Patients' clinical characteristics, pathogenic distribution and antibiotic susceptibilities, treatment and outcomes in their medical records were retrospectively collected and analyzed.Results:All 56 patients had monocular onset, including 39 (69.6%, 39/56) males and 17 (30.4%, 17/56) females, 26 (46.4%, 26/56) with left eyes involved and 30 (53.6%, 30/56) with right eyes involved. Their average age was (25.0±24.4) years. Ocular trauma was the leading cause of streptococcal endophthalmitis (73.2%, 41/56), followed by ophthalmic surgery (23.2%, 13/56) and endogenous infection (3.6%, 2/56). The streptococcal species included Streptococcus viridans (50.0%, 28/56), Streptococcus pneumoniae (18/56, 32.1%) and β-hemolytic Streptococcus (17.9%, 10/56). The susceptibility rates of Streptococcus to penicillin, cefatriaxone, vancomycin and levofloxacin were 66.0%, 57.1%, 94.1% and 92.4%, respectively. Patients received PPV+IVI and IVI as initial treatment were 49 eyes (87.5%, 49/56) and 7 eyes (12.5%, 7/56), respectively. Vitreous injection of glucocorticoids were performed in 17 eyes (30.4%, 17/56); and systemic antibiotics were applied in 52 cases (92.9%, 52/56). At the final follow-up, 47 eyes were recorded with visual acuity. Twenty (35.7%, 20/56) had best corrected visual acuity (BCVA)≥0.05 and 27 (48.2%, 27/56) had BCVA <0.05, of which 1 (1.8%, 1/56) had an eyeball enucleation. The etiology of endophthalmitis, streptococcal species, initial treatment with PPV, vitreous injection of glucocorticoids, and systemic antibiotics did not significantly affect patients' visual outcomes ( P>0.05). Timely visit to the hospital after the onset of symptoms (≤3 days) was significantly associated with achieving a final BCVA above 0.05 ( P=0.025). Conclusions:Ocular trauma was the primary cause of streptococcal endophthalmitis. Streptococcus viridans is the most common pathogenic bacterium. Streptococci had high susceptibility to vancomycin, but patients' visual outcomes were poor.
