ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the qualitative identification and quantitative analysis of Paeoniae radix Rubra in Fufang Fuqing lotion. Methods:TLC was used to identify Paeoniae radix Rubra. The content of paeoniflorinl was determined by HPLC. The mobile phase was acetonitrile-0. 01% phosphonic acid (13 ∶87), and the detection wavelength was 230 nm,the flow rate was 1. 0ml·min-1, the column temperature was 40℃,and the sample size was 10μl. Results:The results of TLC showed that the relevant spots were clear without any interference from the negative sample. The calibration curve of paeoniflorinl was linear within the range of 0. 070-4. 500 μg (r=1. 000 0). The average recovery was 98. 36% with RSD of 2. 73%(n=6). Conclusion:The methods are accurate and quick in the qualitative identification and quantitative assay of the preparation, which can be used for the quality control of Fufang Fuqing lo-tion.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical features , treatment regimen , and prognosis evaluation of tertiary peritonitis (TP). Methods Seventy-eight cases with TP were randomly enrolled into 2 groups, including the simple western medicine-treated group (32 cases) and the integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine-treated group (46 cases). The prognoses were evaluated according to the acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅢ (APACHEⅢ, APⅢ) scoring. Results The mortality rate was 71.9% (23 of 32) in patients received the simple western medicine and was 32.6%(15 of 46) in patients received the integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine with significant difference between these two groups (P < 0.01). There was a significant correlation between AP Ⅲscore and actual mortality (r=0.73,P<0.01), and predicted mortality (r=0.76, P<0.01). Conclusions The therapeutic effect is acceptable and satisfactory for the TP patients received the integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine. The AP Ⅲ scoring system can be used to predict the prognosis of TP patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of serum Cystatin C for early detection of renal damage in patients with liver cirrhosis. Methods 24-h creatinine clearance (CCr), serum level of cystatin C (CysC) and serum creatinine were measured in 76 patients with cirrhosis and t-test,Pearson's correlation test and ROC curve were used to evaluate the diagnostic significance of Cys C.Results The increase in Cys C level was associated with a decrease of CCr in the patients. Both Cys C and SCr were inversely correlated with CCr ( CysC: r =- 0. 763, P ＜ 0. 001; SCr: r=-0. 571,P＜0.01). Meanwhile, the area under the ROC curve was significantly higher in Cys C than in SCr (0. 830 vs. 0. 612). Conclusion Cystatin C is a more accurate and sensitive marker of renal diagnosis in liver cirrhosis. Detection of Cys C level in cirrhotic patients is of great significance for the prevention of liver-kidney syndrome.
