ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To establish t he metho d for the content determination of pulegone in Schizonepetae tenuifolia decoction pieces and its compound preparation. METHODS ：Hollow fiber liquid-phase microextraction coupled with HPLC （HF-LPME-HPLC） was adopted. Based on single factor tests ，HF-LPME condition of S. tenuifolia decoction pieces and its compound preparation （taking Compound S. tenuifolia granule as an expample ） was optimized by central composite design-response surface methodology using pulegone enrichment multiple as index ，with the concentration of sample phase solution （NaCl），extraction time and stirring speed as factors. Validation test was conducted. HPLC method was adopted to determine the content of pulegone. The determination was performed on Hypersil C 18 column with mobile phase consisted of methanol- 0.3％ phosphoric acid （gradient elution ）at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 252 nm，the column temperature was 25 ℃. The sample size was 20 μL. The feasibility of HF-LPME-HPLC method established in this study was validated by using HPLC method stated in the item of S. tenuifolia decoction pieces in 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia （part Ⅰ）as reference. RESULTS ：The optimum HF-LPME conditions included n-nonanol as the extraction solvent ，sample phase solution with 11％ NaCl and pH value of 7，stirring speed of 800 r/min，extraction time of 36 min. Results of HPLC methodology investigation showed that linear range of pulegone were 0.05-5 μg/mL（r＝0.999 0）. The limits of detection and quantitation were 0.4 and 1.3 ng/mL，respectively. RSDs of intra-day and inter-day precision were 1.8％-4.0％ and 1.5％-4.1％（n＝3），respectively. RSDs of reproducibility and stability tests （24 h）were all lower than 8％（n＝6）. Average recoveries of S. tenuifolia decoction pieces and Compound S. tenuifolia granule were 102.6％-105.1％ and 97.2％-102.3％，respectively；RSDs were not higher than 4.1％ and 6.2％（n＝3）. The average contents of pulegone in S. tenuifolia decoction pieces determined by pharmacopoeia method and established method were 0.84 mg/g（RSD＝4.3％ ，n＝3）and 0.87 mg/g（RSD＝5.5％ ，n＝3），respectively，with no significant difference （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS ：The established HF-LPME-HPLC method can enrich and concentrate pulegone ， shows strong purification ability and high sensitivity ，and can be used to determine the contents of pulegone in S. tenuifolia decoction pieces and its compound preparation.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE： To prepare the Peppermint oil moisturizing microemulsion for nasal mucosa and survey its mucosal adhesion and cilia toxicity. METHODS： The polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil was used as emulsifier to prepare the Peppermint oil moisturizing microemulsion for nasal mucosa， and the preparation technology was optimized on the basis of comprehensive score by orthogonal design. The microemulsion was characterized and the menthol content was determined by GC. The mucosal adhesion was evaluated by measuring the transport rate by cilia in vivo， and the cilia toxicity of microemulsion was evaluated by measuring the sustained movement time of cilia in vitro. RESULTS： The optimal preparation technology of self-made microemulsion was to firstly disperse the peppermint oil and the emulsifier， then add anhydrous ethanol， edible glycerin and distilled water， and stir at 1 200 r/min for 2 h. The average contents of menthol in the three batches of the microemulsion were 2.682， 2.507 and 2.496 mg/mL （RSD＝2.89％，n＝3）， respectively. The cilia transport rates in vivo were （0.65±0.01）， （0.78±0.03）and （0.92±0.04） cm/min in high-dose， medium-dose， and low-dose groups of self-made microemulsion （2.561， 0.256， 0.128 mg/mL of menthol） respectively， which were significantly lower than normal saline group and compound menthol nasal droups （P＜0.05）. The cilia movement time in vitro were（206.7±4.9）， （226.0±13.5）， （269.3±12.9）min， which were significantly longer than sodium deoxycholate group （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS： The preparation technology of self-made microemulsion is easy-to-handle and controllable in quality. The prepared microemulsion shows good mucosal adhesion without cilia toxicity．
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the perioperative nursing and its efficacy in the blepharocoloboma reconstruction with island flap of frontal branch of superficial temporal artery. Methods A retrospective nursing experience was summarized in 5 patients undergoing blepharocoloboma reconstruction with island flap of frontal branch of superficial temporal artery. We paid attention to the mental nursing of patients besides the routine nursing.The growth of skin flap was scrupulously oberved and gave selective disposal when untoward problems occurred. Results The skin flap survived in four cases and epidermis necrosis with flap basis survive took place in one case.The color and quality of survived skin flap was similar to adjacent skin which could effectively protect eyeballs.No severe complications occurred. Conclusions Effective mental nursing and health instruction before operation and careful observation and nursing of skin flap after operation proved to be pivotal for successful operation.
