Thirty - six cases were treated with Fufang Xiebai (FX) capsule and compared with control group. There was significant difference (P

AIM: To explore the relationship of the decrease of the catharticizing action and the conjugated anthraquinone after Radix et Rhizoma Rhei was in the process of stirred-fry-with wine by comparing the content of conjugated anthraquinone among different processing Radix et Rhizoma Rhei in the solution decocted by water and extrected by methanol. METHODS: The spectrophotometer was used to assay the content of free anthraquinone and conjugated anthraquinone of different proccssing Rudix et Rhizoma Rhei in the solution decocted by water and extracted by methanol. RESULTS: In the solution decocted by water there was little difference in free anthraquinone between the raw and the processing products, however, the conjugated anthraquinone of the precessing product was much higher than the raw. CONCLUSION: The decrease of the conjugated anthraquinone can’t fully account for the reduction of the catharticizing action of Radix et Rhizoma Rhei in the process of stirred-fry with wine. The real cause needs to be explored in many aspects.

This study was aimed to evaluate the quality ofYuan-Hu Zhi-Tong (YHZT) tablet from different manufacturers by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fingerprint. An HPLC method was developed to establish the fingerprint of 12 batches of YHZT from 10 manufacturers. The common peaks were confirmed by mass spectrometric analysis. Similarity analysis (SA), hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA) were applied to analyze the fingerprint chromatography. The results showed that there were 15 common peaks in which 12 components were from Corydalis Rhizoma and 3 from Radix Angelicae Dahuricae. The similar degrees of 12 batches of YHZT tablet were between 0.498 and 0.999. Based on the values, they could fall into three groups. The result of HCA showed that 12 batches of samples could be divided into 3 classes. The results of PCA indicated that the first three principal components (PCs) could represent the 15 common peaks. According to the scores of 3 PCs, 12 batches of samples could be divided into three categories. The classification result was mainly affected by the components of Corydalis Rhizoma. The classification results of three methods were basically the same. Based on the combination of three methods, 12 samples can be divided into three grades in the aspect of quality. It was concluded that the quality differences of YHZT tablet from different manufacturers were obvious. The combining application of three methods can be used in the evaluation on fingerprint of samples from different sources and influence factor analysis. It can be used as an effective method for quality evaluation.

Clinopodii Herba is a type of traditional folk medicine. Modern research showed that Clinopodii Herba contains triterpenes and its saponins, flavones, volatile oil, phenylpropanoids and other chemical components. It has many pharmacological activities such as hemostasis, antibiosis, hypoglycemic activity, anti-oxidation, and anti-in-flammation. The main clinical application of Clinopodii Herba is for the treatment of various types of bleeding. After searching literatures on Clinopodii Herba for the recent 20 years, this article reviewed the chemical components, pharmacological activities, clinical application and research condition of Clinopodii Herba in order to provide further references for this medicine.

The roots of Corydalis decumbens are used in Chinese folk herbal medicine for treatment of a variety of diseases. In this article, developments of chemical composition, pharmacology, clinical application and recent stud-ies on pharmacokinetics of C. decumbens were reviewed and summarized for its further development and utilization.

Objective: To investigate the clinical value of a micro-array for multi-tumor marker detection (abbreviate C-12 system in the following) in four kinds of tumors (lung, liver, pancreas/colon and stomach cancers). Methods:30 lung cancer?19 liver cancer?24 pancreas/colon?22 stomach cancer and 173 non-tumor patients' serum were detected by C-12 system, and the results were analyzed by ROC curve.Results:There is no difference in the positive rate of single TM between C-12 system and the previously reports; The positive rate and the mean positive value of tumor patients were both obviously higher than that of non-tumor patients (P

0.05).No adverse reactions were found during the clinical trial. Conclusion Yinhua Jiedu Granule is effective and safe in treating wind-heat syndrome of upper respiratory infection and influenza.

This study was aimed to optimize extraction technology of Asperosaponin VI from Dipsaci Radix by re-sponse surface methodology (RSM). A single-factor test and Box-Behnken design (BBD) were employed to optimize three extraction variables, including extraction time (A), ethanol concentration (B), and the ratio of ethanol to materi-al (C). The transfer rate of Asperosaponin VI was used as the evaluation index. The results showed that the optimized conditions were A of 33.13 min, B of 51.58 %, C of 23.39 mL·g-1. Under these conditions, the transfer rate was 88.39 ± 0.212% (n = 3), which was well matched with the predicted transfer rate. It was concluded that RSM can be used for extraction optimization of ultrasonic extraction process for Asperosaponin VI. This method had certain prac-tical values.

OBJECTIVE：To optimize the hot sand processing technology of Alpinia officinarum，and to provide scientific evidence for the standardized processing of A. officinarum. METHODS：The contents of galangin and curcumin in processed A. officinarum were determined by HPLC. Based on single factor test，using processing temperature and processing time as factors，comprehensive score of galangin and curcumin contents as index，central composite design-response surface method was used to optimize hot sand processing technology of A. officinarum，and the processing technology was validated. RESULTS：The optimal processing technology included processing temperature of 200 ℃ and processing time of 5.5 min. In validation tests，average comprehensive score was 94.38 （RSD＝1.02％），relative deviation of which to predicted value 93.74 was 0.68％. CONCLUSIONS：The optimized processing technology is simple and predictable. It can be used for hot sand processing technology of A. officinarum.
