Objective:To determine the content of six main flavonoids in herba epimedii by self contrast with correction factor. Methods:HPLC was carried out with reversed-phase technique on an Agilent ZORBAX Eclipse XDB-C18 (150 mm × 4. 6 mm, 5 μm) column with the mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile-water with gradient elution. The detection wavelength was 268nm and the col-umn temperature was 30℃. The correction factor was established through the increase value of chromatographic peak area for the self internal standard. The relative retention time and spectrum reference method were used to determine the position of impurities. Re-sults:The relative retention time of epimedin A1 , epimedin A, epimedin B, epimedin C and baohuoside I was 0. 750,0. 810,0. 865, 0. 939 and 1. 651, respectively. The correction factor of them was 0. 998 6, 0. 998 7, 0. 998 8, 0. 989 4 and 0. 985 6, respectively. Conclusion:The self contrast with correction factor can be use to quantitatively determine the components with the same kind of chem-istry environment. The method is simple, efficient and accurate in the quantitative analysis of multi components in Chinese medicines.

Objective:To establish a comprehensive quality evaluation pattern for epimedium pieces to provide reference for the quality control. Methods:The overall quality of Epimedium brevicornu Maxim was evaluated through the establishment of a fingerprint identification mode to perform the bifunctional feedback to the fingerprint peaks. The chromatographic separation was carried out on an Agilent ZORBAX Eclipse XDB-C18 (150 mm × 4. 6 mm,5 μm) column with the mobile phase of acetonitrile and water with gradient e-lution. The flow rate was 1. 0 ml·min1 , and the column temperature was maintained at 30℃. Results:The HPLC fingerprint of Epi-medium brevicornu Maxim decoction pieces containing 16 common peaks was obtained. The marketed Epimedium brevicornu Maxim de-coction pieces were divided into two categories and the quality between them showed significant differences. Conclusion:The similarity of 11 batches of epimedium herbs used to establish the fingerprints shows notable different, and the different habitats and sampling time exhibit significant influence on the overall quality. The fingerprint pattern can effectively reflect the overall trend of quality of Chinese herbal pieces, which is suitable for comprehensive quality evaluation of traditional Chinese medicines with multiple components and their relative preparations.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between serum 25 hydroxyvitamin-D3, soluble advanced glycation end product receptor (sRAGE), nucleotide binding oligomerization domain like receptor 3 (NLRP3) mRNA and cognitive impairment in hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH).Methods:143 patients with HICH treated in the Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University from July 2016 to July 2019 were selected as the research objects. Among the 143 patients with HICH, there were 68 patients with cognitive impairment (cognitive impairment group) and 75 patients without cognitive impairment (control group). The age, gender, amount of intracerebral hemorrhage, bleeding site, blood pressure, blood glucose and blood lipid of the two groups were counted, and the mRNA levels of 25 hydroxyvitamin-D3, sRAGE and NLRP3 were detected. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of cognitive impairment in patients with HICH.Results:There were no significant differences in age, gender, smoking, education, bleeding site, diabetes rate, triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) between cognitive dysfunction group and control group ( P>0.05); There were significant differences in bleeding volume and neurological function defect score (NIHSS) score between cognitive impairment group and control group ( P<0.05); The level of 25 hydroxyvitamin-D3 in cognitive impairment group was lower than that in control group ( P<0.05), and the expression level of NLRP3 mRNA was higher than that in control group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in sRAGE between the two groups ( P>0.05); Logistic regression analysis showed that the decrease of 25-hydroxyvitamin-D3 level, the increase of bleeding volume and NIHSS score were independent risk factors for cognitive impairment in HICH patients ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Decreased serum 25 hydroxyvitamin-D3 levels may increase the risk of cognitive impairment in patients with HICH.

【Objective】 To learn the production efficient of platelet components among prefecture-level blood stations in China, to provide supporting data for those blood stations to optimize the production mode of platelet components and continuously improve production efficiency and supply capacity. 【Methods】 The data from 2017 to 2020 was obtained from 24 prefecture-level blood stations who were the members of the practice comparison network for blood institutes in China. The collection units of apheresis platelets, the number of dual-collections of apheresis platelets and plasma, the average apheresis units of one platelet apheresis procedure, the discarded rate of apheresis platelets, the amount of expired apheresis platelets and the amount of apheresis platelets issued were collected. For concentrated platelets, the prepared amount of platelet concentrates and the amount of expired platelet concentrates were collected; both the quantity of qualified and issued concentrated platelets were submitted for statistical analysis.The total output and efficiency of platelet components were calculated based on the collected data. 【Results】 The average annual growth rate of apheresis platelets collection in 24 prefecture-level blood stations was 12.23%, accounting for 99.80% of the total platelet output; the average collection unit of one platelets apheresis procedure was 1.75; from 2019 to 2020, only 5 blood stations performed dual-collection of platelet and plasma during one apheresis procedure; the discarded rate of apheresis platelets was 0.28%, of which 0.007% was due to expiration. A total of 1 621.2 therapeutic units of concentrated platelets were prepared, and 13.03% of them was discarded due to the expiration. The production efficiency of platelet components was 97.56%, of which the production efficiency of apheresis platelets was 97.61% and the production efficiency of concentrated platelets was 74.43%. 【Conclusion】 There are large regional differences in the supply capacity of platelet components in prefecture-level blood stations. Apheresis platelets are the main resource of platelet components product, and the collection capacity is increasing over the years with the characteristics of high production efficiency and low expiration scrapping rate. However, the preparation of concentrated platelets are still limited with relatively low production and high expiration discarded rate.
