Objective To study the refining of Radix Sophorae Flavescentis (RSF) decoction by microfiltration combined with ultrafiltration method,and to compare the refining effect with that refined by alcohol sedimentation method.Methods HPLC was applied to analyze the content of oxymatrine,ultroviolet (UV) spectrophotometry was used to determine the content of total flavonoids in RSF decoction,and suitable concentration of NaOH solution for the detergent were chosen in order to wash the membrane.Results The refining effect is better and the recovery ratio of efficient components is higher in RSF decoction refined by microfiltration combined with ultrafiltration method than in those refined by alcohol sedimentation method.Microfiltration combined with ultrafiltration method is of simple operation and short period,and ultrafiltration membranes can be easily washed.Conclusion The microfiltration combined with ultrafiltration method can be used as the alternative for the traditional alcohol sedimentation method in refining of RSF decoction.

Objective: To study the refinement of general flavone of sophora flavescens decoction by macroporous resins combined with ceramic microfiltration membranes (MR-CM), and compare it with macroporous resin combined with alcohol-sedimentation (MR-AS). Methods: UV-spectrophotometry method was applied to analyze the content of general flavone of sophora flavescens. Results: The porous ratio and effect of eliminating impurity of general flavone of sophora flavescens decoction by MR-CM method was higher than those by MR-AS method, but the MR-CM method is of simple operation and short period.Conclusion: MR-CM method is better than alcohol-sedimentation-macroporous resin method in refining of general flavone of sophora flavescens decoction.

To characterize the ultra-fine particles of Atractylodes lancea (Thunb.) DC., Phellodendron chinense Schneid and the ERMIAO PILL*, a compounded preparation of the above two drugs, for the purpose to observe a deeper view on their physico-chemical properties. Methods By comparing their particle size, porosity and specific surface area with light and scanning electron microscope. Results The size of the ultra-fine particles were more uniform in size, 90% of which were under 20 μm, their specific area were increased by 60% ~ 190% and bulk density were around 0.42 g/cm3, and the great majority of the plant cells were broken as compared with the conventional coarse powder. Conclusion Both A. lancea and P. chinense together with their combined preparation became smaller in particle size, more uniformly distributed with increased specific surface area and broken cell wall.

Object To investigate the effects of ultra-fine powder technique and granularity of pellets on dissolution rate in vitro. Methods The dissolution rate of ultra-fine ERMIAO PILL with different granule diameters in vitro was measured and compared with the index of berberine by UV spectro-photometry. Results The dissolution parameters T 50 and T d of four kinds of ultra-fine ERMIAO PILL are 61.60, 19.48, 17.84, 8.97 min and 102.3, 33.29, 26.98, 14.77 min, respectively. Those of general powder ERMIAO PILL with granule diameter of 2.4 mm are 89.61 and 155.68 min. Conclusion The dissolution rate of ultra-fine powder is quicker than that of general powder, and the rate increases with the granularity of PILL decreasing.
