Objective:To study the molecular composition of bismuth potassium citrate. Methods:The content of bismuth was de-termined using a volumetric method, the content of potassium was determined by atomic absorption spectrometry, and the content of cit-rate root was determined by ion chromatography. The structure was predicted using 1 HNMR and the crystal structure was studied using X-diffraction test and scanning electron microscopy. The changes in the percentage ratio of the three components were investigated by accelerated stability tests. Results:On the dried basis, the percentage of the three molecular components was bismuth of 35%-38%, potassium of 7%-11% and root citrate of 49%-52%. The NMR spectra and the data indicated that the product had three isomers with the molecular structure of bismuth∶potassium∶root citrate=2∶2∶2. The X-diffraction test and SEM showed that the three forms of amor-phous, monocrystalline and polycrystalline might exist. The percentage ratio of the three elements before and after the stability test was basically stable. Conclusion:Bismuth potassium citrate may have three crystal forms with the percentage of the three structure parts within a certain range, and the structure is relatively stable.

Objective To explore the correlation between glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c) level and hemoglobin(Hb),fasting blood glucose (FBG),two-hour postmeal blood glucose (PBG2h) levels in type 2 diabetic patients on plateau.To evaluate influencing factors of HbA1c and effects of Hb level on HbA1c and blood glucose levels.Methods A total of 101 type 2 diabetic patients with no change antidiabetic treatment above 3 months and living in Lijiang city(at altitude 2420 m) above 5 years were investigated.The mean value of FBG,PBG2h,HbA1c and Hb were determined.The correlation between HbA1c and Hb,FBG,PBG2h were studied by scatter diagram,Pearson correlation analysis and the regression analysis.HbA1c,FBG,PBG2h levels were compared between high hemoglobin group and normal hemoglobin group.Results The HbA1c level was positively correlated with the FBG (r =0.82,P ＜ 0.001) and the PBG2h (r =0.29,P =0.003) levels.The regression equation between HbA1c and FBG,PBG2h was Y =2.674 + 0.52X1 + 0.018X2.There was no correlation in HbA1c and Hb level(r =-0.06,P =0.551).There was no difference on HbA1c,FBG,PBG2h levels between high hemoglobin group and normal hemoglobin group (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The major influencing factors of HbAlc are FBG and PBG2h.The hemoglobin level has no obvious effects on HbA1c and blood glucose levels.

Objective To explore the efficacy of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods The literature about HRT in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis were searched.Eleven papers were subjected to a Meta-analysis and a heterogeneity test was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of HRT.Results HRT reduced the level of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) in RA patients (P=0.016),the SMD was-0.22(-0.40,-0.04); improved bone mineral density (BMD) in RA patients (P=0.022),the WMD was 2.83(0.41,5.26); decreased clinical parameters for disease activity evaluations of RA patients (P=0.048),the SMD was-0.19 (-0.38,0.00); decreased the level of C-reactive protein (CRP) in RA patients,the SMD was-0.08 (-0.37,0.21),but the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.591).Conclusion The findings from this Meta-analysis indicate that HRT can reduce the ESR level,improve clinical indexes and improve BMD level of RA patients.HRT may suppress disease activity and osteoporosis of RA patients,so it may be used as an auxiliary therapy in the treatment of RA.

The efectienes of acpuncture for smoking cessation was systematically evaluated in this paper. By using computer retrieval in Chinese national knowledge infrastructure (CNKI), WANFANG database, VIP database, PubMed, ScienceDirect and Springer, the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) regarding acupuncture for smoking cessation from January of 1983 to December of 2013 were collected; by using Table of Standardized Report Factors for Acupuncture RCTs, each inclusive RCT was evaluated; and by using RevMan 5. 2 software, the Meta-analysis was performed. Totally 24 RCTs were included, involving 3084 cases of smoking. The result of literature quality assessment showed that the average score was 25. 71 points without low-quality RCT which had a score of less than 16 points. The Meta-analysis showed that acupuncture could significantly increase the short-time abstinence rate [RR=1. 48, 95% CI (1. 18,1. 84), Z=3. 47, P<0. 0005] and number of cigarettes smoked daily [RR=4. 35, 95% CI (2. 03, 6. 66), Z=3. 68, P<0. 001] and FTND [RR=2. 37, 95% CI (1. 88, 2. 86), Z= 9. 44, P<0. 00001], however, it could not increase the long-time abstinence rate [RR=1. 40, 95% Cl (0. 90, 2.17), Z=1. 49, P>0. 05]. Compared with other treatment, acupuncture has positive advantages on short-time abstinence rate, however, its effect on long-time abstinence rate needs to be verified by high-quality, large-sample and multi-center RCT in the future.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of HP-β-CD on solubility of 1,8-oxido-p-menthane in volatile oil of magnoliae flos,and optimize the extraction technology of Xinzhi nasal drops. METHODS:Steam distillation method was adopted to extract the volatile oil in magnoliae flos. Using the content of 1,8-oxido-p-menthane in volatile oil of magnoliae flos as index,HPLC was adopted to determine the effects of HP-β-CD with different concentration on solubility of 1,8-oxido-p-menthane in volatile oil of magnoliae flos. Using the comprehensive scores of imperatorin and extract yield as indexes,orthogonal test was used to optimize the amount of ethanol,volume fraction and extraction time in extraction technology of Xinzhi nasal drops. Verification test was car-ried out. RESULTS:50% HP-β-CD aqueous solution can improve the solubility of 1,8-oxido-p-menthane to 7.6 times. The optimal extraction technology of Xinzhi nasal drops was as follow as 10-fold 80% ethanol,extracting twice,1 h every time. In verification test,the average content of imperatorin was 0.078%(RSD=2.01%,n=3),and extract yield was 10.80%(RSD=1.85%,n=3). CONCLUSIONS:HP-β-CD shows good solubilization effect on the 1,8-oxido-p-menthane in volatile oil of magnoliae flos,and the optimized extration technology for Xinzhi nasal drops is feasible.
