AIM:To investigate pharmacokinetics of cinnamon acid and paeonol in Jinkui Shenqi Pill(Radix Rehmanniae Praeparata,Cortex Cinnamomi,Radix Aconiti Lateralis praeparata,Rhizoma Alismatis,etc.)in rabbit.METHODS:RP-HPLC was used to examine blood concentration of cinnamon acid and paeonol in rabbit which was administred Jinkui Shenqi Pill.Chromatographic condition consisted of Symmetry C_ 18(5?m,3.9 mm ?150 mm)chromato graphic column,mobile phase(methanol-1%glacial acetic acid water-solution(45∶55)),flow rate(0.8 mL/min),column temperature(35 ℃),detection wavelength of cinnamon acid(285 nm),detection wave length of paeonol(274 nm).The serum pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated with 3p87 program.RESULTS:Linear range of cinnamon acid ranged from 0.06 ?g/mL to 15 ?g/mL(r=0.999 7),the lowest detectability was 0.054 ?g/mL.Pharmacokinetic process of paeonol in rabbit could be fitted to two-compartment model;Linear range of paeonol ranged from 0.2 ?g/mL to 10 ?g/mL(r=0.999 9),the lowest detectability was 0.02 ?g/mL.Pharmacokinetic process of cinnamon acid in rabbit could be fitted to one-compartment model.CONCLUSION:HPLC detection of serum concentration of cinnamon acid and paeonol is simple,rapid,highly accurate and sensitive.Pharmacokinetic parameters can reveal pharmacokinetics of cinnamon acid and paeonol of Jinkui Shenqi Pill in rabbit.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) with gamma knife on stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ non-small-cell lung cancer(NSCLC)and the quality of life of the patients undergoing this therapy.Methods Twenty NSCLC patients with the median age of 76,10 at stage Ⅰ and 10 at stage Ⅱ who were unable or unwilling to undergo surgery were given SBRT with gamma knife at the doses of 3-6 Gy in 8-15 fractions,finished within 2 to 3 weeks.The prescription isodose line was 50％,the marginal dose was 39-56 Gy,the central dose was 78-112 Gy,and the total biologically effective dose was 51-83 Gy.The patients were observed after admission and followed up by chest CT 1,3,6,and 12 months after treatment until progressive disease or death.EORTC QLQ-LC43 questionnaire was used to investigate the changes in quality of life.Results The 20 patients were followed up for 24 (12-46) months.At six months after the treatment,the overall response rate was 80％,and the complete response rate was 35％.The 1,2 and 3-year local control rates were 100％,95％ and 95％,respectively.The 1,2 and 3-year overall survival rates were 95％,80％ and 50％ respectively; The 1,2,and 3-year progression free survival rates were 85％,64％ and 33％,respectively.The failure rate was 20％ and the rate of progress within the planning target volume was 5％.No acute toxicity at grade 3 and over occurred in any patient during the treatment.15％ of the patients developed grade 1-2 radiation pneumonia.Age,gender,pathologic index or not were weakly correlated with the overall survival.The emotional function was improved significantly after treatment (P ＜ 0.05),dyspnea and cough were improved at different degrees,however,not significantly.There were no significant changes in the physical function and symptoms,such as fatigue,lack of appetite,insomnia,etc.Conclusions Significantly improving the motional function and maintaining the quality of life,SBRT with gamma knife is effective for elderly NSCLC patients with high local control rate fair overall survival rate and few side effects.
