Objective To study the chemical components of Anemarrhenae Rhizoma;To establish a method to determine the content of vitexin;To compare the content difference of vitexin from Anemarrhenae Rhizoma before and after salt processing. Methods 70% ethanol extract of Anemarrhenae Rhizoma was separated and purified by silica gel column chromatography technique, and compound was identified by physicochemical properties and spectral data. HPLC was used with Ecosil column (4.6 mm×150 mm, 5μm), mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.2%acetic acid solution (14.5∶85.5), velocity of 1.0 mL/min, and determine wavelength of 340 nm. Results The compound was vitexin, a good linearity (r=0.999 8) in the range of 0.039 8-1.99μg. The average recovery rate was 98.02%, RSD=0.21%. Vitexin content was 0.008 5% in crude Anemarrhenae Rhizoma, 0.008 1% in processed products. Conclusion This is the first time separation of vitexin from Anemarrhenae Rhizoma. The method for content determination of vitexin is accurate, specific, and highly sensitive in the present experiment. Content of vitexin decreases slightly in processed products of Anemarrhenae Rhizoma compared with crude Anemarrhenae Rhizoma.

Objective To observe the pathology in temporal lobe cortexes and hippocampus in protopathic intractable temporal lobe epileptics.Methods The cortexes of spike foci in temporal lobe and hippocampus were obtained from 9 cases with protopathic intractable temporal lobe epilepsy who accepted operation.The samples were observed under the transmission electron microscope.Results The ultrastructure changes in spike focus of temporal lobe cortexes are similar to those in hippocampus.It is common that neurons were pycnotic and decreased.Astrocytes were hydropic and degenerative.Gliosis were found in some cases.The number of synapses increased or decreased in different cases and positions.Blood-brain barriers were destroyed because foot processes of astrocytes around capillaries were edematous.Conclusion Neuronal loss,gliosis and synaptic reorganization which occur in epileptic hippocampus and maybe also in epileptic temporal lobe cortexes destroy the balance between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission.The abnormalities probably associate with protopathic intractable temporal lobe epileptic seizures.
