Objective To prepare Zanthoxylum alkaloid thermosensitive hydrogel, optimize the preparation process and conduct related performance studies. Methods Zanthoxylum alkaloids were obtained by reflux extraction, followed by enrichment and purification using macroporous adsorption resin. Poloxamer 407 and Poloxamer 188 were used as substrates to prepare the thermosensitive hydrogel of Zanthoxylum alkaloids, and the preparation process was optimized by orthogonal design. The quality of the hydrogel was systematically evaluated based on its gelation temperature, gelation time, Fourier transform infrared （FTIR） spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） images, mechanical properties, and in vitro release profile. Results The optimal preparation conditions for the Zanthoxylum alkaloid thermosensitive hydrogel were: 20% （g/ml） poloxamer 407, 2% （g/ml） poloxamer 188 and 100 μg/ml Zanthoxylum alkaloid. The gelation temperature was 32.6℃, and the average gelling time was 143.3 s. The hydrogel appeared as a transparent liquid at room temperature and was transformed into a semi-solid gel state when the temperature exceeded 33℃. Experimental results confirmed the successful preparation of poloxamer 407 and poloxamer 188 thermosensitive hydrogel loaded with Zanthoxylum alkaloids, which exhibited good bio adhesion, self-healing properties, and tensile strength. Conclusion The Zanthoxylum alkaloid thermosensitive hydrogel demonstrated favorable mechanical properties and a sustained-release effect, showing promising potential for further development and application.

Objective To optimize the process conditions and analyze the components of alkaloids from Zanthoxylum bungeanum Maxim（Z. bungeanum）using macroporous resin. Methods Combining single factor tests and orthogonal tests, the content of hydroxy-α-sanshool（HAS）and hydroxy-β-sanshool（HBS）were considered as indexes to determine the best process parameters. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-TOF-MS^E）was used to identify the structures of alkaloids. Results The optimal conditions were Mitsubishi HP-20 macroporous resin, the loading solution concentration was 0.2 g crude drug/ml, the ratio of crude drug to resin volume was 1 g∶2.5 ml, the diameter/height ratio of resin column was 1∶7, the dynamic adsorption flow rate was 4 times of bed volume（BV）per hour, and the adsorption time was 1 h. Impurities were removed by using 2 BV of 20% ethanol, 5 BV of 80% ethanol was used to elution, and the content of HAS and HBS was 4.71% and 1.02%, respectively. A total of 20 alkaloids were identified from Z. bungeanum. Conclusion This method was stable and feasible, obtaining high purity and various kinds of alkaloids, which could be used for the enrichment and purification of alkaloids from Z. bungeanum.

A set of comprehensive chemical experiments was designed for the second-year undergraduate majoring in pharmacy which contained synthesis,refinement,structural identification and appraisal analysis and assaying in phenobarbital.The purpose of the experiment was to improve the comprehensive strength,the ability of investigation and operation.The paper mainly discusses the design and application of the comprehensive experiment in the phenobarbital for pharmacy and Chinese medicine majors from the following aspects including design idea,teaching plan,effectiveness and popularization.

OBJECTIVETo detect mosaic trisomy 9 missed by conventional cytogenetics.

METHODSPeripheral blood genomic DNA from a girl with mental retardation was analyzed using Affymetrix CytoScan (TM) HD array. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was also performed on samples from two patients.

RESULTSThe SNP-array analysis has revealed multiple duplications along chromosome 9. FISH analysis showed that, for the peripheral blood sample from one patient, 40 of 100 interphase cells and 15 of 100 metaphase cells carried trisomy 9. For the cord blood sample from another patient, 35 of 100 interphase cells and 10 of 100 cultured cells carried trisomy 9.

CONCLUSIONSNP-array is useful for detecting low-level mosaicism which may be missed by conventional cytogenetics. Combined with karyotype and microarray analyses, FISH is a focused and targeted approach for diagnosing mosaic trisomy. They may provide a useful tool for differentiating pseudomosaicisms from true mosaicisms.
