Objective:To investigate the effects of various deco cting times,and frequencies on the main active components of Radix et Rhizoma Rh ei and Rhizoma Coptidis decocting together so as to determine the best extractin g technology.Methods:Orthogonal method was used to screen the extracting techno logy and TLC scanning to determine the content of main active components. Conclu sion: Proper decocting frequency and adding water volume will increase the yield of the main active components.

The technology,of extracting Semen Cassiae from Jueming Jiangzhi Powder was investigated.The perceutages of extra ction and preservation of anthraquinone were used to select the methods of extra ction, concentration and drying of Semen Cassiae. The optimal procedure was set as follows:the large-size powder of Semen Cassiae was extracted with 50% alcohol for three times, then the extracted liquid was concentrated by vacuum evaporati on and finally dried by spraying.

Objective:To establish a feasible method for extracti ng polysaccharide from the discarded fibrous roots of Radix Panacis Quingueforli i afterpanaquilon had been extracted, and determine the polysaccharide content. Methods:Enzymolysis technique and alcohol was applied for decolorization, and ph enol-sulfuric-acid method was used to determine the active polysaccharide conte nt.The content of trace element and heavy mental was measured by element-analyze r and atomic fluorescence photometer respectively. Results: The yield of polysac charide from the fibrous roots was close (about 11.7%) to the main root.And the content of heavy metal can match the national standard.Conclusion:I t is valuable to extract the polysaccharide from the discarded fibrous root of R adix Panacis Quingueforlii.

To control the quality of Yixue caps ule,its main comp onents were identified by TLC and the content of tanshinone ⅡA was determined b y TLC scanner.A good linearity was shown at the concentration of 0.5 to 2. 5 μg of tanshinone ⅡA.The average recovery rate was 97.90% and RSD was 1.16%.This method is specific and sensitive with good reproducibility and can be used for the quality control of the preparation.

Objective: To study the anti-inflammatory, analgesic and immunosuppressive action of Niuhuang Qianjin San (NQS). M ethods: The anti-inflammatory action of NQS was studied by the methods of rat pa w swelling and mouse ear swelling and the analgesic action by mouse body torsion method and K+ subcutaneous penetration method in rats.Immunosuppressive effec t was evaluated by peripheral T lymphocyte percentage, splenic lymphocyte transfor mation ratio, phagocytic function of intraperitoneal magocytes, the activity of delayed hypersensitivity, serum hemolysin level and the function of antibody-yie lding cells in mice. Results: NQS could obviously alleviate inflammation, increa se codeine's analgesic action and suppress immunity. The difference were signif icant (P<0.01) as compared with normal saline contr ol group.Conclusion:NQS exerts certain anti-inflammatory,analagisic and immunosu ppressive action.

The preliminary pharmacodynamic studies of the prepar ation of artificial Fel Serpentis and Bulbus Fritiliariae Cirrhosae and Shedan Chuanbei San (composed of natural Fel Serpentis and Bulbus Fri tiliariae Cirrhosae) were reported.The results showed that both of the above pre parations could prolong the cough latency and decrease cough frequeucies induced by ammonia within 3 min,promote the excretion of respiratory tract,increase the excretion of phenol red and inhibit auricular edema induced by xylol in mice. M eanwhile, the above two preparations could also inhibit Ach-induced tracheospasm in vitro.Therefore,the replacement of natural Fel Serpentis with the artificial in the preparation of Shedan Chuanbei San is reasonable.

Objective: To assess the effect and safety of Qilong Capsule (QLC) in treating apoplexy involving the meridians (Qi-deficiency and blood-stasis syndrome ). Methods: A randomized , do uble-blinded double-dummy controlled trial was adopted. One hundred and two pati ents were treated with QLC, 101 with Xiaoshuan oral liquid (XOL ) and 200 served as the open treatment group. Results: The total effective rate in QLC group was 89.22% and symptomatic relieved rate 44.12%,showing t hat QLC was more effective than XOL（P＜0.01）.Conc lusion: QLC is effective for apoplexy involving the meridians and has no side an d toxic effects.

To determine the content of astragaloside IV in Xiao' er Weijining Mixt ure, TCL conditions were optimized by comparing various refined methods. And the y were as follows: the underlayer of CHCl3-CH3OH-H2O(65∶35∶10) below 10 ℃was developed at 15～18℃ and sprayed with 10%H2SO4-C2H5OH,the heating tempe rature was 105℃ for 3～5 min,and λS=400 nm, λR =700 nm.

To investigate the mechanism of Herba Epimedii alcoho l extract for imp otence, Giess reagent was used to observe the effect of the alcohol extract of H erba Epimedii in mice and its effect on release of NO fro m human umbilical vein endothelial cells in vitro was also studied. The results showed that alcoh ol extract of Herba Epimdii had no effect on the release of NO. But the serum co llected from the mice after the medication of alcohol extract of Herba Epimedii for 120min and 180min promoted the production of NO, and the reaction reached th e peak at 120 min. It is indicated that the promotion of NO release from endothe lial cells may be one of the mechanisms of Herba Epimedii for impotence.

Effects of Jinma Tongluo capsule (JT C) on the incidence of micronucleu s of marrow cells in mice with Kunming species were reported. JTC intragastric d osages of 100 mg/kg, 400 mg/kg, 1600 mg/kg (equivalent to 3, 12 and 48 times of the clinical dosage respectively) were given to the mice.Twenty-four hours later th e mice were e xecuted and the marrow cells were examined. The incidence of micronucleus was 2 .00‰, 1.83‰, 2.17‰ respectively. In the group of dosage of 1600 mg/kg, the inci dence was maintained in the normal limits within 12～72h. And the differences we r e not significant as compared with the negative group and the solvent control gr oup. It's indicated that ig total alkalin of Flos Daturae under 0.86 mg/kg has no effect on micronucleus of mice marrow cells.
