This study was aimed to quickly and accurately identify different origins and categories of commodity edible bird’s nest (EBN) using DNA barcoding technique, in order to reveal its genetic differences. The total genomic DNA was isolated from the EBN samples. And Cytb gene sequences were amplified and sequenced by PCR. Then, 32 sequences were aligned and analyzed with DNAStar and MEGA 6.0 software. NJ phylogenetic tree was constructed. The nearest distance was calculated. The results showed that the original species of 32 samples of EBN were identified.Aerodramus fuciphagus was the genetic origin of 23 white nest samples. AndAerodramus fuciphagus germaniwas the genetic origin of the other 8 samples. The origin of black nest sample wasAerodramus maximusorAerodramus maximus lowi. It was concluded that the genetic origin of different EBN categories was variant. The identification of EBN’s origin species with Cytb sequence was quick and accurate.

AIM: The plasma concentration-time curve,pharmacokinetic parameters and bioavilability of puerarin,the main active constituent of Yufeng Ningxin Tablets(total flavone of Radix Puerariae Lobatae) in dog by(oral) administration was determined,and the pharmacokinetics was compared with puerarin injection by intravenous injection individually. METHODS: A single dose(the puerarin amount to 10.49 mg/kg) of Yufeng Ningxin Tablets by oral administration and puerarin injection by intravenous injection(9 mg/kg) were given to dogs in a auto-control way. The concentration of puerarin in plasma was determined by HPLC.The PK solutions 2.0 program,a non-compartmental model software,was applied to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters. RESULTS: 1.The pharmacokinetic parameters of puerarin in dog showed that the t_(1/2E) f puerarin injection(9 mg/kg) by i.v was(72.11)?3.69 min,CL was 4.19?0.25 mL/min,AUC_((0-∞)) was 2172.42?123.02 ?g/min/mL,and the t_(1/2E) of puerarin in Yufeng Ningxin Tablets(10.49 mg/kg) by oral administration was 271.80?7.94 min, CL was 48.52?(2.20) mL/min,C_(max) was 0.43?0.06 ?g/mL, T_(max) was 150 min, AUC_((0-∞)) was 185.77?8.20 ?g/min/mL,and bioavailability was 7.03% compared to puerarin injection by intravenous injection. CONCLUSION: The absorption of puerarin in Yufeng Ningxin Tablets by oral administration comparing with puerarin injection by intravenous injection in dog is very poor,and the bioavailabilites is also low.

[Objective] To make a microscopic identification of medicinal material of Herba Rabdosiae Serrae (HRS) from different plant resources. [Methods] The dry leaves of the whole, the middle part and the upper-middle part from the plants of Isodon serra (Maxim.) Kudo, Isodon striatus (Benth.) Kudo, Isodon lophanthoides var. geradianus (Benth.) Hara, and Isodon lophanthoides Hara var. graciliflorus (Benth.) Hara were sliced by different methods. Structure of leaf epidermis, the transverse section of leaf and structure of leaf powder were observed under light microscope. [Results] There existed differences in epidermal cells, stomata distribution, nonglandular hair, glandular hair, small glandular hair and glandular scale of leaf epidermis from four kinds of medicinal plants of Herba Rabdosiae Serrae . And there also existed differences in epidermal cells, anticlinal wall and external-section wall of epidermal cells, nonglandular hair, glandular hair, glandular scale, stomata distribution, mesophyll, main vessels, and vascular bundle of leaf transverse section, as well as in epidermal cells, stomata distribution, glandular scale, nonglandular hair, glandular hair and ducts of leaf powder from four kinds of medicinal plants of Herba Rabdosiae Serrae. [Conclusion] Medicinal plants of different kinds of Herba Rabdosiae Serrae have different microscopic identification structure in leaf epidermis, leaf transverse section and leaf powder.

Objective To screen the optimal medium formula for obtaining high proliferation rate and differentiation rate of protocorm-like body ( PLB) of Dendrobium officinale Kimura et Migo ( D.officinale) . Methods We observed the effect of different concentrations of phytohormones such as 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA) , 1-naphthaleneacetic acid ( NAA) , 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid ( 2,4-D) and kinetin ( KT) , or their combinations together with organic additives such as potato extractive ( PE) , banana extractive ( BE) , apple extractive ( AE) and coconut milk ( CM) on the proliferation and differentiation of PLB of Dendrobium officinale Kimura et Migo. Results 6-BA, NAA and KT at certain concentrations were beneficial to the proliferation and growth of PLB, and when the concentration of KT was 1.0 mg/L, 50-d PLB proliferation times reached to 7.20. 2,4-D had obvious inhibitory effect on PLB proliferation and growth. The combination of 6-BA, NAA and KT showed stronger effect on PLB proliferation than the phytohormones used alone, and the combination of 0.5 mg/L 6-BA, 1.0 mg/L KT and 1.0 mg/L NAA had the best effect on PLB proliferation, 50-d PLB proliferation times reaching to 9.52. Certain concentrations of PE and AE could promote PLB differentiation, and 100 g/L PE brought well-grown seedling in test tube and the highest differentiation rate, being up to 92.6% . Conclusion The optimal hormone matching and additives concentration on proliferation and differentiation of PLB of Dendrobium officinale Kimura et Migo have been obtained, which can lay a foundation for its rapid propagation and artificial seed preparation.

On the basis of thermal stability of andrographolide and dehydroandrographolide,the influences of medicinal material factors(habitats,collecting time,storage time),thermal stability,production technology(solvent,temperature,heating time and storage condition)on the content of andrographolide and dehydroandrographolide in Andrographis Tablet(AT)were explored so as to increase the quality of AT.The results showed that the excellent medicinal material of Herba Andrographis,optimized production technology,shorter heating time and lower temperature are the effective measures for increasing the quality of AT.

AIM: To establish a quantitative method of determining thymol and carvacrol in Shushi Ganmao Ling(dripping pill)(Herba Moslae,Herba Artemisiae Annuae,Radix Scutellariae,etc.). METHODS: The GC method was used with HP-17 quartz capillary column(HP 50% PhMe Silicone,10 m?0.25 mm?0.25 ?m).The initial temperature of chromatographic column was at 130 ℃ for 14 min,then elevated to 220 ℃ with the rate of 20 ℃/min,and retention for 36 min. RESULTS: The linearities of thymol and carvacrol were respective in the range of 12.51 ?g/mL-125.1 ?g/mL(r=0.999 8) and 21.52 ?g/mL~215.2 ?g/mL(r=0.999 7).The average recoveries were 97.9%(RSD was 1.69%) and 100.6%(RSD was 2.27%).RSD of repeatability were 1.88% and 1.60%,respectively. CONCLUSION: The method is reliable,accurate and specific.It can be used for quality control of Shushi Ganmao Ling(dripping Pill).
