ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To establish an overall quality evaluation model for Agrimonia pilosa based on extract and characteristic spectrum，and to provide evidence for comprehensive quality evaluation of the medicinal material and screening of high-quality provenance. METHODS ：Referring to different extraction method and solvent condition stated in 2015 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia （part Ⅳ），using the content and total peak area of HPLC characteristic chromatogram of extract as indexes，and the extraction technology was optimized by weighted comprehensive score. HPLC characteristic spectrum of 15 batches of A. pilosa was established ，and similarity evaluation and characteristic peak identification were performed. SPSS 25.0 software was used to conduct single factor analysis and Pearson correlation analysis for the extract content and total peak area of A. pilosa from different origins. The quality of medicinal materials from different origins were compared. Entropy weight TOPSIS method was adopted to evaluate comprehensive quality of A. pilosa using the extract content and total peak area of 15 batches of A. pilosa . RESULTS ：The extraction technology of A. pilosa extract，which was extracted with hot dip plating using 50％ ethanol as solvent ，was optimized. The similarity of 15 batches of A. pilosa was higher than 0.92，and 4 characteristic components were identified（ellagic acid ，quercetin，apigenin，kaempferol）. There were significant differences in average extract content and total peak area of characteristic chromatogram of A. pilosa from different origins （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01），and there was a certain positive correlation between them （r＝0.86，P＜0.01）. Results of entropy weight TOPSIS evaluation showed that the average Ci values of A. pilosa in Anhui ，Zhejiang，Sichuan，Henan and Jiangsu provinces were 0.689，0.351，0.218，0.308 and 0.361 respectively. CONCLUSIONS：The quality of A. pilosa from Anhui was the best ，that from Zhejiang and Jiangsu was better ，that from Henan was the second ，and that from Sichuan was poor. Established extraction technology and characteristic spectrum determination method of A. pilosa are stable and feasible. The entropy weight TOPSIS model is objective and quantifiable for comprehensive quality evaluation of A. pilosa ，and can effectively evaluate its quality.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To study the purification technology of Sanhuang yishen formula. METHODS:Using retention rate and impurity rate of purified total polysaccharide,astragaloside and calycosin glucoside as index,the purification effects of water extraction and alcohol precipitation method (50%,60%,70% ethanol) and clarifying agent method (101 juice clarifying agent, ZTC natural clarifying agent,chitosan clarifying agent) were respectively detected to screen the purification method;orthogonal test was used to optimize the technology parameters(mass concentration of liquid,amount of clarifying agent and pH of liquid)by the optimized purification method,and the verification test was conducted. RESULTS:The purification was better when using chito-san as clarifying agent with comprehensive score of 98.62;the purified technology parameters were mass concentration of liquid 1 g/mL,1% chitosan solution amount of 2 mL/g,pH 5.1;the average value of retention rate and impurity rate of purified total poly-saccharide, astragaloside and calycosin glucoside in verification test were 79.56%(RSD=1.24%, n=3), 78.11%(RSD=0.97%,n=3),79.46%(RSD=1.03%,n=3)and 32.18%(RSD=1.16%,n=3),respectively. CONCLUSIONS:Using chito-san as clarifying agent shows good purification effect for Sanhuang yishen formula,which is simple. The optimized technology is stable and feasible.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To compare cost-effectiveness of Xiyanping injection and Ribavirin injection in the treatment of com-mon type hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) in children,and to provide evidence for rational drug use in the clinic. METHODS:The literatures about Xiyanping injection in the treatment of common type HFMD in children using Ribavirin injection as control were retrieved from CNKI,VIP,Wanfang,PubMed,Cochrane library and other databases. The decision tree was established with TreeAge Pro 2011 software to conduct cost-effectiveness analysis. Tornado diagram was used to analyze sensitive factors;single fac-tor and double factors sensitivity analysis were also conducted. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:The total cost of Xiyanping injection and Ribavirin injection were 2 887.53 and 3 058.72 yuan,respectively. The total effective rates were 92.49% and 78.12%. Xiyan-ping injection shows cost-effectiveness advantage. The results of cost-effectiveness analysis were supported by sensitivity analysis.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To establish the HPLC fingerprints for Sini decoction and compare the differences of compositions of Sini decoction prepared by traditional decoction and modern machine decoction. METHODS:HPLC was performed on the column of Kromasil C18 with mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid(gradient elution)at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min,the detec-tion wavelength was 235 nm,column temperature was 30 ℃,and injection volume was 10 μl. The HPLC fingerprints of 10 batch-es of Sini decoction were determined with reference peak of liquiritin peaks,and common peak identification and similarity evalua-tion were conducted by using Chromatographic Fingerprint Similarity Evaluation System(2004 A edition). RESULTS:There were 18 common peaks and the similarity was no less than 0.982. According to the verification,the fingerprint of 10 batches of Sini de-coction showed good similarity with reference fingerprint,and the similarity of 10 batches of Sini decoction was high,which was prepared by the 2 methods. CONCLUSIONS:The established fingerprint is specific and stable,and can provide reference for quali-ty evaluation and control for Sini decoction;and there are no obvious differences in the main chemical compositions of Sini decoc-tion prepared by traditional decoction and modern machine decoction.
