ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To establish the fingerprint of Sophora flavescens， and to screen differential components and determine their contents. METHODS HPLC fingerprints of 12 batches of S. flavescens were established by using Similarity Evaluation System of Chromatographic Fingerprints of TCM （2012 edition）； common peaks were identified and their similarities were evaluated. Chemical pattern recognition analysis [cluster analysis （CA），principal component analysis （PCA） and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis（OPLS-DA）] were performed with SIMCA 14.1 and SPSS 23.0 software， and differential components which influenced the quality of S. flavescens were screen with variable importance in the projection（VIP）＞1 as standard. Meanwhile， the contents of 4 kinds of differential components were determined by the same HPLC method. RESULTS There were 17 common peaks in the fingerprints of 12 batches of S. flavescens，and their similarities were all higher than 0.96. A total of 6 common peaks were identified， i.e. oxymatrine （peak 1）， oxysophocarpine （peak 2）， matrine （peak 10）， trifolirhizin （peak 14）， kurarinone （peak 16） and norkurarinone （peak 17）. Results of CA， PCA and OPLS-DA showed that 12 batches of S. flavescens were divided into 3 categories according to producing area， i.e. S1-S7 （Shangzhou District of Shaanxi Province） were grouped into one category， S8-S10 （Yichuan County of Henan Province） into one category and S11-S12 （Chifeng City of Inner Mongolia） into one category. VIPs of matrine， norkurarinone， kurarinone and oxysophocarpine and the chemical components represented by peak 11 and 9 were all greater than 1. The contents of matrine， norkurarinone， kurarinone and oxysophocarpine in 12 batches of S. flavescens were 2.65-4.93， 1.54-3.44， 9.63-12.94 and 5.08-6.10 mg/g， respectively. CONCLUSIONS HPLC fingerprint of S. flavescens is established successfully in the study， and can be used to screen 6 differential components by combining with chemical pattern recognition analysis， which can provide reference for quality control of S. flavescens.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE： To investigate the current situation of faculty development research in TCM colleges and universities， to analyze the hot spots and deficiencies in the research， and provide reference for the colleagues to engage in related research and carry out corresponding work. METHODS： With “faculty” as the title or keyword and “TCM university” or “TCM college” as author institution， the literatures about faculty development researches published by the TCM colleges and universities were retrieved from CNKI， VIP and Wanfang database during database establishment to Nov. 19th， 2018. Note Express 3.0 software was used to extract the parameters such as publish year， source journals， publish institution， the authors， cited frequency， fund assistance and keywords. Bibliometric statistics and analysis was performed by using SPSS 19.0 software. RESUITS： Totally 1 183 valid literatures were obtained， mainly for periodical literatures （1 144 literatures）. The total number of literatures was on the rise， and reached to peak value of 118 in 2016. 1 144 literatures were published in 408 journals. The top 6 authors with high production were Liu Jingli （6 literatures）， Liang Xinyue， Liu Na， Liu Yanping， Xu Nanyang， Yan Xiaotian （5 literatures respectively）； the top one institution was Nanjing University of TCM （89 literatures）. 653 （55.20％） literatures have cited records， most of them （457 literatures， 38.63％） were cited 1-3 times， and the average cited frequency was 2.15 times； the ratio of funded papers of state ministries and commissions were less than 3％； 7 098 keywords were extracted and high-frequency keywords were 31， involving “faculty” and “young teachers”. CONCLUSIONS： The research on faculty development in TCM colleges and universities has become increasingly active， but the core research author has not yet formed. The research still lacks of sustainability and comprehensiveness， and the research quality needs to be further improved.

ABSTRACT
For effective inhalable dry-powder drug delivery, tetrandrine-PLGA (polylactic-co-glycolic acid) nanocomposite particles have been developed to overcome the disadvantages of nanoparticles and microparticles. The primary nanoparticles were prepared by using premix membrane emulsification method. To prepare second particles, they were spray dried. The final particles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dry laser particle size analysis, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), infrared analysis (IR) and confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM). The average size of the primary particles was (337.5 ± 6.2) nm, while that second particles was (3.675 ± 0.16) μm which can be decomposed into primary nanoparticles in water. And the second particles were solid sphere-like with the drug dispersed as armorphous form in them. It is a reference for components delivery to lung in a new form.

ABSTRACT
According to two theories,which are "traditional Chinese medicine researching is in the face of a complex opening gigantic system" and "Chinese materia medica compound(CMMC) is the natural combinatorial chemical libraries",the study on active fractions of CMMC has been facing to a complex system with a large number of data that is non-linear,multi-variable,and varieties related to each other.The thinking and method of "combinatorial screening" has been put forward based on these two theories,that is the principle "using the diverse structures of molecules to simulate the diverse organism" used in combinatorial chemistry and the data mining technique was taken into the study on complex system of CMMC.In order to create combinatorial libraries,the two methods were used to obtain the fractions of CMMC.Re-combination group of the CMMC was used,and various industrial separation techniques, such as resin,membrane,were used to replace the diversity of chemosynthesis routes to create "Building Block".Through data mining and knowledge discovery, the intrinsic correlation of CMMC "multi-components and multi-targets" between the chemical composition and the mechanism was carried out.The new technologies which aim at high-throughput screening of CMMC were explored,in order to provide the evidence for setting up an idea with "optimal separation" and optimization design about application system of refining technology.
