Objective To establish an HPLC fingerprint ofJinjing solid beverage,and provide experimental evidence of evaluating its quality.Methods Ten batches ofJinjing solid beverage were analyzed by HPLC under the gradient elution condition. A Kromasil C18 column(4.6 mm×250 mm, 5μm) was used, and the flow phase was acetonitrile-H2O(acidified to 0.1% with phosphoric acid) with gradient elution, and the detection wavelength was 327 nm, and the flow rate was 1.0 ml/min, and the column temperature was 35℃. The data were evaluated by the similarity evaluation software for TCM fingerprint.Results The HPLC fingerprint ofJinjing solid beverage were established. Twelve common peaks including chlorogenic acid were identified with similarity of more than 0.9.Conclusion HPLC method is a reliable, available and quick method, that provides a means for controlling and evaluating the quality ofJinjing solid beverage.

To extract sub-signal of heart period signal (HPS), a new statistical signal processing approach, namely independent component analysis (ICA) was addressed. Electrocardiosignal (ECS) was acquired from ten volunteers. ECS was sampled 8 minutes when the volunteer was in supine position, and then when the same volunteer was in erect position. HPS was extracted from ECS. According to time-delay, HPS was divided into five groups as mixed signals. Five signals were reconstructed into two groups by ICA. The rebuilt signals were transformed by Fourier transformation. One centralized in low frequency (called IC1); the other did in high frequency (called IC2). The power of IC1 was significantly increased (P<0.01) while that of IC2 showed no significant change (P>0.05), and the ratio of IC1 to total power also significantly increased with the change from supine position to erect position. Comparsion between the two postural results reveals that IC1 may express sympathetic activity, and IC2 represents parasympathetic activity. Sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous functions can be evaluated respectively and quantitatively by use of data and graphs from the two decomposed components.

Objective Using hybridoma technique and screened hybridoma cell strains stably, efficiently secreted anti glycosylated hemoglobin monoclonal antibody to provide specific material for the development of glycosylated hemoglobin ELISA kit. Methods The immune antigen was prepared by maleimide method, multi-level immune mice by BALB/c,through cell culture fusion, screening of hybridoma cell culture medium HAT, ammonium sulfate salting out method and G protein chromatography. Monoclonal antibody subclasses were identified by monoclonal antibody subtype identi-fication Kit operation. Results Through cell fusion, screening and cloning culture, etc., the final selection screened 1 strain stably secreting specific antibody hybridoma cell line, named N5B4; cell culture supernatant liquid was 1:5000, ascites titer was 1:100 million; a standard curve to calculate the concentration in the sample human glycat ed hemoglobin was 99.2%. Conclusion After KET monoclonal antibody cell line to obtain a high specificity and high sen-sitivity of screening.

ObjectiveTo explore the possible mechanisms of Modified Shoutai Pill (寿胎丸加味方, MSP) in treating polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance, and miscarriage, focusing on inflammatory response and endometrial receptivity. MethodsThirty female SPF-grade SD rats with regular estrous cycles and in proestrus, and 15 male SPF-grade SD rats were housed together in a 2∶1 ratio at 18:00. At 8:00 next morning, rats showing abundant sperm and vaginal plugs were considered pregnant on the day 0.5. The 30 pregnant rats were randomly divided into three groups, normal group, model group, and MSP group, with 10 rats in each group. From day 0.5 to day 13.5 of pregnancy, the MSP group was given 26.6 g/(kg·d) of the MSP via gavage twice a day for 14 consecutive days. The normal group and the model group received 4 ml of normal saline daily. From day 7.5 to day 13.5 of pregnancy, the rats in the model group and MSP group were intraperitoneally injected with dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and insulin (INS) for 7 consecutive days to establish a PCOS model with hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance, and miscarriage. On day 13.5 of pregnancy, an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed to measure blood glucose levels at 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes. On day 14.5, serum level of progesterone (P4), estradiol (E2), fasting insulin (FINS), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) were measured by ELISA. The insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) was calculated. Embryo implantation, miscarriage rate, and average number of live fetuses were observed. Uterine tissue pathology was examined by HE staining, and mRNA expression of Il-6, Tnf-α, leukemia inhibitory factor (Lif), homeobox gene 10 (Hoxa10), prolactin family 8 subfamily A member 2 (Prl8a2), and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 1 (Igfbp1) in the uterine tissue was detected by qRT-PCR. ResultsCompared with the normal group, the model group had significantly higher blood glucose level at 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes, increased miscarriage rate, elevated HOMA-IR, decreased average number of live fetuses, lower level of P4 and E2, higher level of IL-6, TNF-α, and FINS, and higher mRNA expression of Il-6 and Tnf-α in the uterine tissue. The mRNA expression of Lif, Hoxa10, and Prl8a2 was reduced (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The uterus had a dark red color, visible areas of bleeding, fewer embryos with developmental abnormalities, and increased placental necrosis. Pathological examination revealed thrombus in the decidual layer, unclear decidual cell morphology, loose arrangement, scattered distribution, edema degeneration in the cytoplasm, and nuclear shrinkage or disappearance, with extensive infiltration of inflammatory cells. In contrast, compared with the model group, the MSP group showed significantly lower blood glucose level at 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 min, reduced miscarriage rate, lower HOMA-IR, increased number of live fetuses, higher level of P4 and E2, and lower level of IL-6, TNF-α, and FINS. The mRNA expression of Il-6 and Tnf-α in the uterine tissue was lower, while the expression of Lif, Hoxa10, and Prl8a2 mRNA was higher (P<0.05 or P<0.01). There was significant improvement in uterine and embryo conditions, as well as in uterine tissue pathology. ConclusionThe MSP can reduce the miscarriage rate in a PCOS model with hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance, and miscarriage. Its mechanism may involve inhibiting inflammation, improving endometrial receptivity, and restoring the defects in endometrial decidualization.
