ABSTRACT
Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of Toutongning Dropping Pills in the treatment of migraine in various experimental models. Methods: The experimental model of nitroglycerin-induced migraine in rats was used to observe the preventive effect of Toutongning Dropping Pills. The analgesic effect of Toutongning Dropping Pills was observed by chemical stimulation, thermal stimulation in mice, mechanical stimulation and formalin stimulation in rats. The sedative effect of Toutongning Dropping Pills was observed by using the mice convulsion model induced by strychnine nitrate and the model of spontaneous activity in normal mice. The blood-activating effects of Toutongning Dropping Pills were observed in rats with hyperviscosity and mice with microcirculation disorder. Results: Five days after Toutongning Dropping Pills were given, compared with the model group, 1 g/kg and 2 g/kg drug dose group significantly reduced the number of climbing cage and scratching head in migraine rats, and shortened the fading time of pink ears. Toutongning Dropping Pills 1.5 g/kg and 3 g/kg dose group significantly reduced the number of writhing induced by acetic acid in mice; While it had no obvious effect on the thermal stimulation model. Toutongning Dropping Pills 1 g/kg and 2 g/kg dose group could significantly improve pain threshold of the mechanical stimulation of rats, and shorten the phase II time of formalin pain in rats; 1.5 g/kg and 3 g/kg drug dose group could significantly prolong the incubation period of convulsion and reduce the number of spontaneous activities in mice; 0.5 g/kg and 1 g/kg and 2 g /kg drug dose group significantly inhibited the increase of whole blood viscosity in rats; 1.5 g/kg and 3 g/kg drug dose group significantly improved the blood flow pattern in mice, reduced erythrocyte aggregation, and increased the number of capillary intersection points. Conclusion: Toutongning Dropping Pills have obvious analgesic, sedative, blood-activating functions, and have therapeutic effects on experimental migraine.
ABSTRACT
Objective: Clematis florida var. plena is a traditional She medicine. In this paper, we aim to study the main chemical components of essential oil of C. florida var. plena flower. The study will provide reference for large-scale reasonable cultivation and quality standard establishment of C. florida var. plena. Methods: C. florida var. plena flower's essential oil was extracted with steam distillation and it was identified by GC-MS. Area normalization method was used to measure the percentage of each components. Results: In the experiment, 32 element were detected in essential oil of C. florida var. plena flower, among which 20 chemical components were identified. There are 13 chemical components over 1%, and the top five compounds are palmitic acid (26.94%), phytol (10.58%), linoleic acid (6.13%), pentadecane (4.54%) and n-tricosane (3.84%). Conclusion: GC-MS was first used to analyze the main chemical components of C. florida var. plena's flower essential oil. The study provides scientific basis for cultivation, production, development, utilization of C. florida var. plena.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the quality standard of the imitation ecological planting Anoectochilus roxburghii under forest covering. Methods The identification of medicinal properties, microscopic characteristics, thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and content determination of A. roxburghii cultivated under forest were carried out in this study, and the moisture content, ash and acid-insoluble ash were determined according to Chinese Pharmacopoeia of 2015 edition. Results A. roxburghii cultivated under forest exhibits specific properties in characteristics, microscopic features and TLC results. The average moisture content of A. roxburghii cultivated under forest from five planting bases was 8.69%, the average ash was 11.93%, and the average acid-insoluble ash was 3.27%. Content determination results of the average quality score of quercetin, isorhamnetin and kaempferide were at 0.021 0%,,0.024 7%, and 0.027 3%, respectively. Conclusion The above method is simple, specific and reproducible, which will provide the basis for the quality standard of the imitation ecological planting A. roxburghii under forest covering.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To establish the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) method for content determination of five kinds of heavy metals (copper, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and lead) in Anoectochilus roxburghii. Methods: After the treatment of microwave digestion, ICP-MS method was used in the determination. Results: The standard liquid working curves of Cu, As, Cd, Hg, and Pb had good linearity, with the correlation coefficients of more than 0.998. The average recovery of Cu was 104.3% with relative standard deviation (RSD) of 4.0%, the average recovery of arsenic was 102.2% with RSD of 4.3%, the average recovery Cd was 100.5% with RSD of 0.4%, the average recovery rate of Hg was 101.0% with RSD of 3.6%, and the average recovery of Pb was 101.1% with RSD of 1.1%. Conclusion: The method is stable, reliable, fast, and accurate, and has high sensitivity and good reproducibility. It can be used for the simultaneous determination of Cu, As, Cd, Hg, and Pb in A. roxburghii.
ABSTRACT
Objective: Determination of 666 (BHC) and DDT residues in Anoectochili Roxburghii Gemma Terminalis. Methods: Using gas chromatography (GC) for limited detecting the eight kinds of organochlorine pesticide residues, such as BHC (α-BHC, β-BHC, γ-BHC, and δ-BHC) and DDT (PP '-DDE, PP'-DDD, OP '-DDT, and PP'-DDT) in Anoectochili Roxburghii Gemma Terminalis. Results: Linear BHC and DDT standard curve were good, the correlation coefficient was 0.9988-0.9997, the average recovery rates were 95.4%-98.9%, 1%-2.98% RSD. The detection limitation was 0.0053-0.021 g/L. Result of Chinese herbal medici: β-BHC for G 0.0009mg/kg(Among them, α-BHC, γ-BHC, δ-BHC, PP'-DDE, OP'-DDT, PP'-DDD, PP'-DDT not detected) Conclusion: The method is accurate, reliable, scientific, and feasible, and has higher sensitivity and linear range, which can be used for quality control of pesticide residues in water.
