This study was aimed to develop an ICP-MS method to determine contents of six types of heavy metals, which include Cr, Pb, Cd, As, Hg and Cu, in Pian-Zai-Huang Gan-Bao (PZHGB) tablets. The samples were pro-cessed by microwave digestion. And then, they were determined by ICP-MS. The results showed that the working curves of Cr, Cu, As, Cd, Hg and Pb had good linear relationships with the correlation coefficient which was more than 0.9993. The average recovery rate of Cr was 101.2%. The relative standard deviation (RSD) was 7.6%. The av-erage recovery rate of Cu was 96.4%, with the RSD of 3.5%. The average recovery rate of As was 101.3%, with the RSD of 1.8%. The average recovery rate of Cd was 100.2%, with the RSD of 0.3%. The average recovery rate of Hg was 100.5%, with the RSD of 4.2%. The average recovery rate of Pb was 104.2%, with the RSD of 5.6%. It was concluded that the method was stable and reliable, with high sensitivity and repeatability. This method can be used in the content determination of six types of heavy metals, which include Cr, Pb, Cd, As, Hg and Cu in PZHGB tablets.

Aim To observe the analgesic effect of oxymatrine(OMT)and its mechanism.Methods A peripheral mononeuropathy was produced in adult mice by placing loosely constrictive ligatures around the common sciatic nerve.The antinociceptive effects of the OMT were assessed in mechanical allodynia and cold allodynia tests.The CAMKII inhibitor KN-93 and AIP were adopted to investigate the influence of OMT on the analgesic effect and analyze its analgesic mecha-nisms.Western blot was used to evaluate the expres-sions of tCaMKII and pCaMKII protein.Results The intraperitoneal administration of OMT (1 60,80 mg· kg -1 )increased the paw withdrawal threshold in the
mechanical allodynia test (P <0.05 ),OMT (1 60, 80,40 mg·kg -1 ,ip)remarkably decreased the paw lifts in the cold allodynia test (P <0.05).Ith KN-93 (1 .25 μg/site),AIP (0.02 μg/site)significantly en-hanced the analgesic effect of OMT (35 mg·kg -1 ) (P <0.01 ).Protein expression of pCaMKII was de-creased by OMT(1 60 mg·kg -1 ).Conclusion OMT has significant protective effects on chronic constriction injury(CCI)in mice,and the effective mechanism of OMT inhibits the expression of CaMKII receptor.
