After 5 years of construction , the platform with innovative ability was initially formed; some characteristic pharmaceuticals were exploited, which promoted the clinical service ability of key disease, brought good economic and social influence . This article made a preliminary discussion on the construction achieve-ments , experiences and expectations of this platform .

To establish the quality standard for Zhike Xiaoyan Zhitong lotion. Methods: Phellodendri chinensis Cor-tex, Angelicae sinensis Radix and Astragali Radix in the preparation were identified by TLC. The content of berberine hydrochloride, the effective component in Phellodendri chinensis Cortex, was determined by HPLC with the chromatographic conditions as follows: an Agilent 5 TC-C18 column (250 mm × 4. 6 mm, 5 μm) was used, the mobile phase was acetonitrile-0. 05 mol·L-1 potassium dihydro-gen phosphate (30∶70) with the flow rate of 1. 0 ml·min-1 , the detection wavelength was 265 nm, and the column temperature was at 30 ℃. Results:The spots of Phellodendri chinensis Cortex, Angelicae sinensis Radix and Astragali Radix in Zhike Xiaoyan Zhitong lotion on TLC were clear with strong specificity and without any interference from the negative controls. There was a good linear rela-tionship for berberine hydrochloride within the range of 0. 029-3. 628 μg(r=0. 999 9), and the average recovery was 97. 83% (RSD=2. 05%, n=6). Conclusion:The qualitative and quantitative methods are accurate, reliable and repeatable, which can effectively control the inherent quality of Zhike Xiaoyan Zhitong lotion.

Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effects of compound Kushen Tang and its relevant mechanism in TNBS-in-duced ulcerative colitis ( UC) rats. Methods:UC was induced by TNBS in rats. After compound Kushen Tang was given orally, the levels of MDA, iNOS, and NO and the activity of MPO, SOD, and GSH-Px were measured. The general condition of rats and colon tissue morphology were observed. Results:The levels of MDA (P<0. 05), iNOS (P<0. 01) and NO (P<0. 01) and the activity of MPO (P<0. 01) in tissues of UC rats were significantly higher than the control group. The activity of SOD (P<0. 01) and GSH-Px (P<0. 05) were significantly lower than those in the control group. After the treatment with high doses of compound Kushen Tang, the levels of MPO (P<0. 01), MDA (P<0. 05), iNOS (P<0. 05) and NO (P<0. 01) were significantly decreased, and the activity of SOD (P<0. 01) and GSH-Px (P<0. 05) significantly increased. The therapeutic effect was dose-dependent and the general con-dition of rats and colon tissue morphology were also significantly improved. Conclusion:Compound Kushen Tang is considered as a no-vel therapeutic alternatives for the treatment of UC, which can reduce coloni inflammatory injury and ameliorate the colitis.

OBJECTIVE To establish the characteristic chromatogram of Chaenomeles sinensis， determine the contents of rutin， hyperin and quercitrin， and to identify C. sinensis and C. speciosa. METHODS HPLC method was performed on Agilent 5 TC-C18 column， with acetonitrile-0.2% formic acid solution as the mobile phase for gradient elution， at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The column temperature was 30 ℃ . The detection wavelength was 330 nm in characteristic chromatogram and 350 nm in content determination. The characteristic chromatogram of C. sinensis was established and similarity was evaluated by the Similarity Evaluation System for Chromatographic Fingerprint of TCM （2012 edition）. Hierarchical cluster analysis of 15 batches of C. sinensis （S1-S15） was performed by using SPSS 23.0 software. The contents of 3 flavones in 15 batches of C. sinensis and 7 batches of C. speciosa （S16-S22） were determined， while their characteristic chromatograms were compared. RESULTS The similarities of the characteristic chromatogram for 15 batches of C. sinensis ranged from 0.783 to 0.969， and 11 characteristic peaks were confirmed. Four constituents were identified as chlorogenic acid， rutin， hyperin and quercitrin. The medicinal materials in 15 batches of C. sinensis could be divided into 2 categories： S5-S8 were one category， and the others belonged to one category. The characteristic chromatogram of C. sinensis was obviously different from C. speciosa. The contents of rutin， hyperin and quercitrin in 15 batches of C. sinensis were 48.99-294.45， 3.49-102.55， 31.98-149.49 μg/g， respectively. The content of rutin in C. speciosa was lower than that in C. sinensis. None of hyperin （except for S20） and quercitrin were detected in C. speciosa. CONCLUSIONS The characteristic chromatogram and the method for content determination of 3 flavones in C. sinensis are established successfully and can be used for the quality control of C. sinensis and its identification from C. speciosa.

OBJECTIVE To establish thin-layer chromatography （TLC） identification method and high-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） fingerprint of Inonotus obliquus， and to evaluate the quality of I. obliquus by chemical pattern recognition. METHODS TLC method was used to identify trametenolic acid and inotodiol in I. obliquus qualitatively. HPLC fingerprint of I. obliquus was established； Similarity Evaluation System for Chromatographic Fingerprint of Traditional Chinese Medicine （2012 edition） was used to determine the common peaks and evaluate the similarity； chemical pattern recognition analysis [cluster analysis， principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis （OPLS-DA）] of 22 batches of I. obliquus was performed with SPSS 23.0 software and SIMCA14.1 software. RESULTS In the TLC， the same color spots were found at the same position in the chromatograms of test sample and substance control. A total of 10 common peaks were marked in the HPLC fingerprints of 22 batches of I. obliquus， with similarities of 0.942-0.995. No. 3 peak was identified as trametenolic acid， No.4 peak as inotodiol， No. 9 peak as ergosterol and No. 10 peak as lanosterol. Results of cluster analysis showed that S1-S15， S19， S21 and S22 could be clustered into the first category， and S16-S18 and S20 were clustered into the second category. Results of principal component analysis showed that top 4 samples in the list of comprehensive score were S17， S18， S16 and S20. Results of OPLS-DA showed that three marking components that may affect the quality of I. obliquus were screened according to the standard of VIP＞1， i.e. No. 4 peak （inotodiol， VIP value of 1.86）， No. 3 peak （trametenolic acid， VIP value of 1.62） and No. 7 peak （VIP value of 1.27）. CONCLUSIONS This study establishes TLC method and HPLC fingerprint of I. obliquus successfully， which can provide reference for the quality control of I.obliquus by combining with chemical pattern recognition.
