OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of different drying aids on the hygroscopic property of extract powder of modified Liujunzi decoction (MLJZD), and screen the best drying aid. METHODS MLJZD extract was mixed with β-cyclodextrin, microcrystalline cellulose, lactose, arabic gum, maltodextrin, corn starch, mannitol, dextrin, soluble starch and pre-gelatinized starch at the mass ratio of 1∶0.3 and 1∶0.5, respectively. The extract powder was prepared after vacuum drying. Physical fingerprints were established with 8 physical indexes, including moisture content, bulk density, vibrating-solid density, gap rate, Carr index, Hausner ratio, angle of rest and hygroscopicity, and then similarity evaluation was performed. The matrix hotspot map was drawn to analyze the influence of physical indexes on hygroscopicity. The moisture absorption rate of MLJZD extract powder was measured at room temperature for 2, 4, 8, 10 h and 1, 2, 3, 7 d. The moisture absorption rate-time curve was drawn, and the best auxiliary materials were selected by comparison. RESULTS The similarity evaluation results of physical fingerprint showed that the prepared MLJZD extract powder were stable and the similarities were above 0.90. The matrix hotspot analysis showed that there was significant correlation between bulk density and vibratory density and the moisture absorption rate of the MLJZD extract powder (P<0.05). The moisture absorption rate-time curve analysis showed that the moisture absorption rate of MLJZD extract powder prepared with the mass ratio of 1∶0.5 was lower than prepared with the mass ratio of 1∶0.3. Under both ratios, lactose showed the best drying aid effect, followed by soluble starch and mannitol. CONCLUSIONS Lactose, as the drying aid (under the mass ratio of 1∶0.5), can obviously improve the hygroabsorbance effect of the extract powder of MLJZD, which provides a reference for the selection of auxiliary materials for MLJZD solid preparations.

Background:
Dust generated during the processing of building materials enterprises can pose a serious health risk. The study aimed to compare and analyze the results of ART and the Monte Carlo model for the dust exposure assessment in building materials enterprises, to derive the application scope of the two models.
Methods:
First, ART and the Monte Carlo model were used to assess the exposure to dust in each of the 15 building materials enterprises. Then, a comparative analysis of the exposure assessment results was conducted. Finally, the model factors were analyzed using correlation analysis and the scope of application of the models was determined.
Results:
The results show that ART is mainly influenced by four factors, namely, localized controls, segregation, dispersion, surface contamination, and fugitive emissions, and applies to scenarios where the workplace information of the building materials enterprises is specific and the average dust concentration is greater than or equal to 1.5 mg/m3. The Monte Carlo model is mainly influenced by the dust concentration in the workplace of building materials enterprises and is suitable for scenarios where the dust concentration in the workplace of the building materials enterprises is relatively uniform and the average dust concentration is less than or equal to 6mg/m3.
Conclusion
ART is most accurate when workplace information is specific and average dust concentration is > 1.5 mg/m3; whereas, The Monte Carlo model is the best when dust concentration is homogeneous and average dust concentration is < 6 mg/m3.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the lipid-lowering activity of Quansanqi tablets(QSQ), an innovative new drug of Panax notoginseng. MethodMice and golden hamsters were used to establish a hyperlipidemia model by injecting egg yolk milk and feeding high-fat diets. The levels of total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were detected, and liver function indicators [alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate amino-transferase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP)] of golden hamsters were detected. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the degree of liver injury. In the experiments, a normal group, a model group, an atorvastatin calcium group, and low-, medium-, and high-dose QSQ groups (0.32, 0.64, 1.28 g·kg-1 for mice, and 0.16, 0.32, 0.64 g·kg-1 for golden hamsters) were set up. ResultCompared with the normal group, the acute hyperlipidemia model mice showed increased TC, TG, and LDL-C levels (P<0.01), and the hyperlipidemia model mice showed increased TC and LDL-C levels (P<0.01). Additionally, the hyperlipidemia model golden hamsters showed increased serum TC, TG, LDL-C, ALT, AST, and ALP levels (P<0.05, P<0.01). HE staining indicated the presence of fat accumulation in the liver, accompanied by inflammatory reactions. Compared with the model group, QSQ of various doses could reduce TC, TG, and LDL-C levels in acute hyperlipidemia model mice (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the high-dose QSQ could reduce TC and LDL-C levels (P<0.01) and increase HDL-C level (P<0.05) in hyperlipidemia model mice, as well as reduce TC, TG, and LDL-C levels in hyperlipidemia model golden hamsters (P<0.05, P<0.01), especially in the first two weeks. In addition, atorvastatin calcium could further increase ALT, AST, and ALP levels (P<0.05, P<0.01) and aggravate liver function damage, while low-dose QSQ could reduce ALT, AST, and ALP (P<0.05), and medium- and high-dose QSQ did not cause further liver function damage. ConclusionQSQ have a significant lipid-lowering effect on different hyperlipidemia model animals and can improve liver function and liver injury.
