Objective A HPLC-quantitative analysis of multi-components by single marker(QAMS)was established to determine 5 ingredients including uracil,uridine,hypoxanthine,inosine and guanosine in Periplaneta americana.Methods Separation took place on a Agilent ZORBAX SB-Aq column(250 mm×4.6 mm,5 μm)by gradient elution of methanol-0.01 mol·L-1 potassium dihydrogen phosphate at 20℃with a flow rate of 1.0 mL·min-1.The detection wavelength was 260 nm and the injection amount was 10 μL.The relative correction factors(fa/b)was calculated for the other four components with uridine as an internal standard.The content of 5 ingredients in 10 batches of Periplaneta americana was determined by QAMS.Results were compared with those of external standard method(ESM).Results Five nucleosides showed good linear relationships in their own ranges(r＞0.999 5),and the average recoveries ranged from 97.0%to 100.8%.The relative correction factors of uracil,hypoxanthine,inosine and guanosine were 0.908 0,1.005 3,1.969 5 and 1.303 4,respectively.Conclusion The established method is accurate and stable.It can provide theoretical reference for the quality control of Periplaneta americana.

Abstract To study the antiviral effect ofZedoary TurmericOil Injection on novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 viroid cell lines were preparedin vitroand treated with different concentrations of Zedoary Oil. The cell number and relative fluorescence value(RLU) were observed and measured, and the 50% effective inhibitory concentration(IC 50) was calculated. Four patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 were clinically included, including 2 in the control group and 2 in the experimental group. The control group received conventional treatment, and the experimental group receivedZedoary TurmericOil Injection in addition to conventional treatment. The nucleic acid conversion rate, conversion time, pulmonary imaging changes, fever reduction time, clinical improvement time and adverse events of the patients were observed.In vitroexperiment, the relative fluorescence value decreased with increasing concentration ofZedoary TurmericOil, which was significantly different from that of the control group(P<0.05). The IC50 was 0.26 μg/ml.In vivostudy, the novel coronavirus nucleic acid in stool of case 1 in the test group turned negative in 3 days, the cough symptom of case 2 was significantly relieved, and there was obvious absorption in pulmonary imaging. The negative conversion time of novel coronavirus nucleic acid in the control group was 5 and 7 days respectively. No adverse events occurred in the experimental group.Zedoary TurmericOil had strong inhibitory effect on SARS-COV-2 virusin vitrowhich was dose-dependent.In vivotreatment of COVID-19,Zedoary TurmericOil Injection combined with conventional treatment can improve the cough caused by SARS-COV-2 infection, promote SARS-COV-2 to turn negative, promote absorption of lung lesions, and reduce lung injury, with no obvious adverse events.

The review deals with the phenomenon of autotoxicity in medical plants. The autotoxic potential could be attributed to direct inhibition of plant growth and some diseases could be promoted by autotoxin. Factors affecting autotoxicity include species and cultivars, soil microbes, plant's nutrient situation and soil type etc. Autotoxicity could be overcome or alleviated by plant residues removal, adding beneficial microbes, using organic fertilizer, proper rotation, and grading management to different plant' autotoxic force.

AIM:To establish the method of fingerprint analysis on Shuangbai Powder(Radix et Rhizoma rhei,Cacumen platycladi,Cortex phellodendri amurensis,Herba lycopi and Herba menthae)to distinguish the characteristic fingerprint.METHODS:HPLC with ZORBAX Eclipse XDB-C_(18) was used,acetonitrile-0.1% H_3PO_4 solution(gradient elution)as a mobile phase and detection wavelength at 254 nm,flow rate was 1 mL/min,and column temperature was 40℃.RESULTS:Thirty-seven common peaks were separated from 10 batches of Shuangbai Powder.The characteristic peaks were the summation,22 peaks were from Radix et Rhizoma Rhei,6 peaks were from Cortex phellodendri Amurensis,4 peaks were from Cacumen Platycladi,3 peaks were from Herba Lycopi,and 2 peaks were from Herba Menthae,there was one new characteristic peak.CONCLUSION:Ten peaks gathered from Shanghai Powder consist of rhein,emodin,chrysophanol,aloe-emodin,physcion,gallic acid,berberine hydrochloride,palmatine;quercitrosid,and linarin.

OBJECTIVE:To study the chief chemical components of the ethyl acetate part of Angelicae Sinensis Decoction for Supplementing Blood Apozem.METHODS:The HPLC was adopted in which Hypersil ODS was taken as the chromato?graphic column,the Methanol-0.5%glacial acetic acid was taken as the mobile phase(gradient elution),the detective wave?length was280nm,the flow rate was1ml/min and with the column temperature set at room temperature.RESULTS:There were7characteristic peaks in the ethyl acetate part of Angelicae Sinensis Decoction for Supplementing Blood Decoction,6of which come from isoflavone of Radix Astragali and1come from ferulic acid of Angelicae Sinensis.CONCLUSION:The chief characteristic peak of the ethyl acetate part of Angelicae Sinensis Decoction for Supplementing Blood Apozem was the building up of Radix Astragali peak and angelicae sinensis peak,no other significant composition peaks were emerged.
