Objective To analyze the dialysis adequacy of the maintenance hemodialysis patients under different dialyzate flow.Methods Forty-eight patients under maintenance hemodialysis were divided into four groups according to dialyzate flow:500 ml/min group,600 ml/min group,700 ml/min group and 800 ml/min group,with 12 patients in each group.Each group was treated 6 weeks.The albumin (Alb),hemoglobin(Hb),hematocrit(Hct),blood urea nitrogen (BUN),serum creatinine(SCr) and parathyroid hormone(iPTH) levels before and after treatment were examined,Kt/V and urea reduction ratio(URR) were calculated separately.Results There was no significant difference in Kt/V between 500 ml/min group and 600 ml/min group.Kt/V was no increased when the dialyzate flow rate increased from 500 ml/min to 600 ml/min,that was to say they could not improve the dialysis adequacy.There was statistically significant difference in Kt/V among 500 ml/min group,600 ml/min group,700 ml/min group and 800 ml/min group,and 800 ml/min group on the dialysis adequacy was better.Different dialyzate flow on the impact of the dialysis adequacy was compared in self-control method.Kt/V increased along with the increase of dialyzate flow,and the dialysis adequacy and dialyzate flow showed positive correlation.Conclusion The high dialyzate flow of dialysis treatment can improve Kt/V and has significant effect in enhancing the dialysis adequacy.

AIM: To establish a HPLC for determination of puerarin and baicalin in Gegen Qinlian Micropill. METHODS: A Kromasil C 18 Column was used. The mobile phase was methanol-0.2% phosphoric acid. Puerarin and baicalin were determined by dual wavelength, ? 1=250nm. ? 2=315nm. RESULTS: The linear range of puerarin was within 32.0 ng—288.0 ng,r=0.9998 and the sample recovery was 100.17 % (RSD=1.00%(n=9)). The linear range of baicalin was within 52.6 ng～447.1 ng, r=0.9999 and the sample recovery was 100.06 % (RSD=1.06% (n=9)). CONCLUSION: This method has good repeatability and flexibility. It can be used for quality control of Gegen Qinlian Micropill.

Objective To explore the mechanism of immunomodulatory activity of triptolide on healthy volunteers peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC)-derived plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). Methods Healthy volunteers-derived pDCs were sorted by flow cytometry, then incubated with triptolide (0, 5, 10, 30 μg/L). After 24 hours, we detected the concentration of IFN-α, IL-6, TNF-α using ELISA. After 5 days, the cultrural cells were collected and analyzed by flow cytometry, light microscope and electron microscope scanning. Results Triptolide-treated pDCs secreted lower level of IFN-α,IL-6 ,TNF-α, triptolide could inhibit pDCs differentiation to DCs which displayed more immature morphology and immunophenotypes than untreated-pDCs. Conclusion Triptolide could decrease the immune function of pDCs, inhibit differentiation and maturation of pDCs.
