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.

This paper was aimed to study the genetic diversity and genetic relationship of germplasm resource of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos in order to provide references for its breeding. A total of 36 samples from 18 farm varieties and wild species, as well as related species of Lonicera japonica Thunb. from the main production areas were studied by ISSR-PCR markers. The Jaccard coefficient was worked out by NTSYS-pc software. And a cluster dendrogram of different samples was established based on unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA). The re-sults showed that 12 ISSR primers generated 129 loci of which 114 loci were polymorphic. The average percentage of polymorphic bands (PPB) is 88.37%. In the cluster dendrogram, different samples of Lonicera japonica are in the same group, which showed that it is a natural species; the wild sample is separated from the cultivated samples; the traditional type-Maohua is relative stable, but the type of Jizhuahua includes complicated varieties, and it has obvi-ous genetic variation; the new variety Jiufeng 1 has already distinct into one stable type. It was concluded that the ISSR method was suitable for germplasm identification, genetic diversity analysis of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos, thus providing a theoretical foundation for its cultivation and breeding.

Objective To evaluate the role of C-Jun N-Terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway in dexmedetomidine-induced reduction of spinal neurotoxicity induced by lidocaine in rats.Methods Seventy-two adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 280-320 g, in which intrathecal catheters were successfully implanted without complications, were randomly divided into 6 groups (n =12 each) using a random number table: control group (group C);SP600125 (JNK signaling pathway blocker) group (group SP);dexmedetomidine group (group D);lidocaine group (group L);dexmedetomidine + lidocaine group (group DL);SP600125+lidocaine group (group SPL).Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) 20 μl was injected intrathecally in group C.SP600125 30 μg and 10% lidocaine 20 μl were injected intrathecally in SP and L groups, respectively.At 20 min after intrathecal injection of 10% lidocaine, dexmedetomidine 75 μg/kg was injected intraperitoneally in group DL, and SP600125 30 μg was injected intrathecally in group SPL.Dexmedetomidine 75 μg/kg was injected intraperitoneally in group D.The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal paw withdrawal latency (TWL) were measured before intrathecal catheters were implanted (T0), before intrathecal administration (T1), and at 4, 8 and 12 h and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 days after intrathecal administration (T2-10).At 24 h after intrathecal administration, 6 rats randomly selected from each group were sacrificed.The lumbar segment (L4-5) of the spinal cord was removed for detection of cell apoptosis (by TUNEL) and phosphorylated JNK (p-JNK) expression (by Western blot).The apoptotic index was calculated.Results Compared with group C, no significant change was found in the MWT, TWL, apoptotic index and expression of p-JNK in SP and D groups (P>0.05), the MWT at T2-8 in group L, at T2-6 in group DL and at T2-5 in group SPL were significantly increased, the TWL at T2-8 in group L, at T2-5 in group DL and at T2-4 in group SPL were prolonged, and the apoptotic index and expression of p-JNK were increased in DL, SPL and L groups (P<0.05).Compared with group L, the MWT was significantly decreased, and the TWL was shortened at T2-8, and the apoptotic index and expression of p-JNK were decreased in DL and SPL groups (P<0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which dexmedetomidine mitigates spinal neurotoxicity induced by lidocaine is related to inhibited activation of JNK signaling pathway in rats.

Aim To investigate the effects of Sanjie Zhentong capsule on cultured mouse myometrial cell contraction induced by prostaglandin F2α( PGF2α) , and to elucidate the mechanism of Sanjie Zhentong capsule in treating dysmenorrheal. Methods Primary mouse myometrial cells were cultured and identified. Intracel-lular calcium ( [ Ca2+] i ) was monitored under a Flex-Station 3 Benchtop Multi-Modo Microplate Reader u-sing Calcium 6-QF. Myometrial cells were labeled to observe the changes of contraction. The expressions of calmodulin ( CaM ) , myosin light chain kinase ( ML-CK) , myosin light chain phosphorylation( p-MLC20 ) in mouse uterine smooth muscle cells ( USMCs ) were determined by immunofluorescence. Results Sanjie Zhentong capsule suppressed the intracellular[Ca2 + ]i inflow and reduced the areas of myometrial cells induced by PGF2α. Then it significantly decreased CaM and p-MLC20 levels. Conclusion Our results indicate that Sanjie Zhentong capsule has inhibitory effect on dysmenorrheal induced by PGF2α. Furthermore,its major mechanism may be related with the regulation of intracellular[ Ca2 + ]i inflow and the levels of CaM and p- MLC20.
