Objective To optimize the technological parameters of separation and purification of vinblastine and vincristine from Gatharanthus Roseus. Methods Different types of macroporous adsorption resin were used to separate and purify vinblastine and vincristine from Gatharanthus Roseus, eluting with different concentration of alcohol aqueous and velocities, combined with silica gel column chromatography, the process was monitored by HPLC. Results AB-8 type resin showed better comprehensive adsorption property, 90% alcohol aqueous and 1.5 BV/h velocities were used to elute. Ratio adsorption quantity was achieved to 74.5 mg/g. Through silica gel column chromatography, the purity of vincristine was achieved to 97.26% and the purity of vinblastine was achieved to 94.18%. Conclusions The process is simple and reasonable with good reproducibility. It is effective to enrich highly purified vinblastine and vincristine.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of Weifuchun tablet combined with chemotherapy on patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods Sixty-eight patients with advanced NSCLC was randomly divided into control group (n =34) treated with cisplatin + gemcitabine and treatment group (n =34) treated with Weifuchun tablet (1.436g × 2/d) and cisplatin + gemcitabine.After two treatment cycles,the clinical effect in both groups were evaluated.Results The clinical efficacy in the treatment group was 52.94％ (18/34),which in the control group was 41.18％ (14/34),there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups(x2 =0.94,P ＞ 0.05).The quality of life and the level of T lymphocytes were markedly improved,and the reduction of hemoglobin,leucocyte,and platelet,and nausea reaction were all significantly inhibited in treatment group compared with that in control group after two treatment cycles (x2 =4.12,4.66,5.96,4.12,5.90,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Weifuchun tablet combined with chemotherapy effectively ameliorates the clinical symptoms of the patient with advanced NSCLC,reduces the toxic and side effects caused by chemotherapy,and improves the quality of life,which is worthy in the clinic.

Objective The paclitaxel loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (PTX-SLNs) were prepared by an ultrasonic-dispersion emulsification technique. The stability of PTX-SLNs was investigated in this study. Methods The technology was preferenced by stability, Zeta potential, particle diameter, and entrapment efficiency as indexes. The doses of lipid materials and coemulsifier, the ultrasonic time, and the ultrasonic power were investigated in detail. Results The optimum prescriptions were definited by one-factor and orthogonal test. The adjuvant: glyceryl monostearate (100/150 mg), Fabaceous Lecithin (100 mg), coemulsifier Pluronic F68∶Tween 80 (2∶1). The samples were sonicated with an energy output of 300 W in 20 min after emulsified at (75?5) ℃. Conclusion The PTX-SLNs are successfully prepared and PTX-SLNs with high stability are fairly dispersed in colloidal solution. This technology has a nice prospect with safety and reliability.

OBJECTIVE:To improve hydroscopicity and fluidity of traditional Chinese drug extractum by spray drying and to improve affixes to the wall of the drier during drying for providing reasonable relative humidity of production.METHODS:The compounding of adjuvant and the technology were optimized by orthogonal experiment,and the hydroscopicity and fluidity of powdered extract were investigated.RESULTS:The hydroscopicity of traditional Chinese drug extractum can be greatly decreased by adding 3% gum arabic and 7% ?-CD.The optimum technological conditions were as follows:extractum density of 1.10g? mL-1,temperature of intake airflow of 170℃,atomization pressure of 0.5Mpa,and feed material speed of 400mL? h-1 by orthogonal experiment.The critical relative humidity of the optimum formula was 64%.CONCLUTION:The problems of time consuming and moisture absorption of traditional Chinese drug extractum existed in the traditional old technology can be improved in this new technology.
