OBJECTIVE: To analyze the chemical compositions of the essential oils of Eupatorium fortunei extracted by CO2-supercritical-fluid-extraction(SFE-CO2) vs.steam distillation extraction(SD).METHODS: The essential oils of the E.fortunei were extracted by SD vs.SFE-CO2.The chemical components were separated and analyzed by GC-MS.RESULTS: 31 compounds were identified in the essential oils of E.fortunei extracted by SFE-CO2,accounting for 75.97% of the peak area of the total ion-current chromatogram,with 2-propenoic acid-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-ethyl ester showing the highest proportion(40.50%).21 compounds were identified in the essential oils of E.fortunei extracted by SD,accounting for 51.70% of the peak area of the total ion-current chromatogram,with caryophyllene showing the highest proportion(10.35%).13 components were mutual in both extraction methods.The contents of the components varied greatly.CONCLUSION: SFE-CO2 is more stable and reliable and reproducible than SD,and it is more applicable for the extraction of the essential oils from Chinese herbal medicine.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and safety of Compound sabal berry tablet combined with tamsulosin in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia complicated with urinary obstruction. METHODS:86 patients with benign prostatic hyper-plasia complicated with urinary obstruction were randomly divided into control group(43 cases)and observation group(43 cases). Control group orally received 0.2 mg Tamsulosin hydrochloride orally disintegrating sustained-release tablet,once every evening. Observation group additionally received 500 mg Compound sabal berry tablet before a meal,3 times a day. 4-week was regarded as 1 treatment course,and it lasted 3 courses. During the treatment,all patients in the two groups ate light food,avoiding spicy and bland food. The clinical efficacy,TCM symptom scores,interleukin-8 (IL-8),interleukin-10 (IL-10),tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),maximum flow rate(Qmax),post-void residual(PVR),the International Prostate Symptom Score(IPSS)scores before and after treatment and the incidence of adverse reactions in the 2 groups were observed. RESULTS:The total effective rate in ob-servation group was significantly higher than control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Before treatment, there were no significant differences in the TCM symptom scores,Qmax,PVR,IPSS scores,IL-8,IL-10 and TNF-α between 2 groups (P>0.05). After treatment,TCM symptom scores,IPSS scores,IL-8,IL-10,TNF-α and PVR in 2 groups were signifi-cantly lower than before,and observation group was lower than control group,Qmax was significantly higher than before,and obser-vation group was higher than control group,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). And there were no severe ad-verse reactions during treatment. CONCLUSIONS:The efficacy of Compound sabal berry tablet combined with tamsulosin is superi-or to tamsulosin alone in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia complicated with urinary obstruction,it can reduce the in-flammatory reactions and residual urine,with good safety.

Objective To explore the relationship between methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene polymorphism and homocysteine (Hcy),and further to investigate their correlation to coronary heart disease (CHD) in females.Methods This study involved 29 premenopausal women with CHD,57 postmenopausal women with CHD,50 men with CHD and 46 postmenopausal women with non-CHD.All patients underwent coronary angiography.The patients' gender,age,history of hypertension,diabetes and smoking were recorded.The plasma Hcy level,blood lipids and MTHFR gene polymorphism were examined.Results The level of Hcy in postmenopausal women with CHD was (18.11±7.21)μmol/L,which was significantly higher than (15.01±6.53)μmol/L in premenopausal women with CHD,(12.98±5.46)μmol/L in postmenopausal women with non-CHD group and (14.32±6.01)μmol/L in men with CHD group (t=5.23,3.65,5.08,all P<0.05).The frequency of the MTHFR TT genotype in postmenopausal women with CHD was 28.1% which was significantly higher than postmenopausal women with non-CHD(17.4%)(χ2=5.13,P<0.05),but there was no statistically significant difference with the other two groups.The plasma Hcy level in patients with TT genotype was significantly higher than that with CT or CC genotype in all groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed a significant positive correlation in Hcy and TT genotype.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that smoking,Hcy,hypertension and diabetes were independent risk factors for CHD.The odds ratios(OR) of Hcy for CHD was 2.601 (95% confidence interval,1.326 to 5.745).Conclusion Hcy may be an independent risk factor for CHD in females.MTHFR C677T genotype is significantly associated with hyperhomocysteinemia,and its mutation frequency increases significantly in patients with CHD,but MTHFR mutation is not related with the incidence of CHD.
