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.

Abstract: Objective To elucidate the potential mechanism of Jindanjiangan Capsule in the treatment of liver fibrosis by network pharmacology and molecular docking. Methods Active ingredients and targets of Jindanjiangan Capsules were searched by Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP) and HERB databases, and the disease targets were screened by DisGeNET and Therapeutic Target Database (TTD) databases. The targets of the active ingredients of Jindanjiangan Capsule were matched with the disease targets, and the common targets were imported into the String database platform to construct a protein-protein interaction network (PPI) network. CytoNCA tool of Cytoscape 3.9.1 software was used for topological analysis to screen key targets. Traditional Chinese Medicine-Key Active IngredientsKey Target Network was constructed by Cytoscape 3.9.1 Software. KEGG enrichment analysis of key targets was performed through the DAVID platform. The molecular docking of active ingredients and targets was performed to verify the above results using LeDock software. Results By screening, 180 potential active ingredients and 1 340 targets of Jindanjiangan Capsule and 1 060 targets of liver fibrosis, and 273 common targets were obtained. 29 key targets related to liver fibrosis were screened out by PPI network interaction, and verified by KEGG analysis and molecular docking. Jindanjiangan capsule acts on key targets such as EGFR, MMP9, PTGS2, ESR1, PIK3CA, F2, PPARG, and PTPN11 through active components such as isovitexin, quercetin 7-O- β -D-glucoside, (3S, 6S) -3- (benzyl) -6- (4-hydroxybenzyl) piperazine-2, 5-quinone, 6-Osyringoyl-8-O-acetylshanzhiside methyl ester, tanshinone II, nortanshinone, capillaris chromone, and etanone. The specific mechanism may be related to HIF-1 signaling pathway, C-type lectin receptor signaling pathway, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway, relaxin signaling pathway, FoxO signaling pathway and so on. Conclusion Jindanjiangan capsule can effectively treat hepatic fibrosis through multi-component, multi-target and multi-pathway.

Objective To evaluate the vestibular function in patients with cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL). Methods Seventeen CADASIL patients were recruited in the present study and 17 healthy volunteers served as control subjects. Electronystagmogram examinations including gaze nystagmus test, spontaneous nystagmus test, saccade test, pursuit test, optokinetic nystagmus test and caloric test were performed in the subjects. Results Neither patients nor controls had gaze nystagmus or spontaneous nystagmus. There was no difference in the latency and velocity of saccade movement between patients and controls. The accuracy of the saccade movement, the accuracy in leftward saccade, was significantly lower in CADASIL group compared with controls. The pursuit movement gains was also significantly lower in CADASIL group than in control group(G_L:0.79±0.08, G_R:0.76±0.12)(t=-3.739、-2.911,P <0.05) compared with controls(G_L:0.87±0.04, G_R:0.86±0.06).The optokinetic nystagmus gains were significantly decreased in CADASIL group(G_L:0.79±0.17,G_R:0.78±0.18)(t=-2.342、-2.335,P<0.05) compared with controls(G_L:0.90±0.08,G_R:0.89±0.09). The caloric test was performed in one CADASIL patient and the result revealed an incomplete fixing inhibition. CADASIL group was further divided into normal subgroup and abnormal subgroup based on the pursuit curve. The comparison between those two subgroups demonstrated a significant correlation between the pursuit movement and the symptoms of vertigo or dizziness(P<0.05). Conclusions The central vestibular function is impaired in CADASIL patients and the abnormal vestibular function is related to the symptom of vertigo or dizziness in CADASIL patients.
