ABSTRACT
Cardiotoxicity caused by postoperative radiotherapy can increase the risk of cardiovascular adverse events in patients with breast cancer, especially those with left breast cancer, which is proportional to the dose of radiation to the heart. It has been proved that deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) technique can significantly reduce the cardiac dose in patients with left breast cancer, but the benefits of this technique vary greatly among different patients, and its implementation requires additional equipment, time, manpower and other resources. Hence, it is necessary to select patients who are suitable for this technique in advance. In addition to comprehensive analysis of general factors before simulation positioning that affect DIBH selection, this review also systematically summarized relevant indicators of CT simulation positioning images. These anatomical indicators included the measurement of the cardiac contact distances in parasagittal (CCD ps) plane, the lateral heart-to-chest distance (HCD), the product of maximum heart width (HW max) and the maximum heart depth (HD max) during CT simulation positioning, and the maximum heart distance, heart volume in the irradiation field (HVIF), the difference of lung volume and heart volume between free breathing (FB) and DIBH measured after CT localization. All of them showed some instructive significance for evaluating whether DIBH should be applied in tangent field based radiotherapy planning. The automatic planning (rapid plan) function in the treatment planning system could quickly predict the benefit of DIBH for breast cancer patients. The purpose of this article is to help clinicians select patients who are suitable for DIBH technique, guaranteeing that DIBH technique resources can be used reasonably.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the chemical constituents of the volatile oil from the stem and leaves of Sarcandra glabra.METHODS: The volatile oil was extracted from the stem and leaves of Sarcandra glabra by steam distillation.The components of the volatile oil were separated and identified by GC-MS.The relative content of each component was determined by area normalization.RESULTS: 29 components in the volatile oil from the stem of Sarcandra glabra were identified,and their content representing 75.88% of the total volatile oil.64 components in the volatile oil from the leaves of Sarcandra glabra were identified,with their content representing 87.98% of the total volatile oil.CONCLUSION: The volatile from leaves and that from stems of Sarcandra glabra varied in the content of low molecular weight of chemical constituents,almost no low molecular weight of chemical constituent contained in the volatile oil in the stems.These data provide scientific bases for exploitation of Sarcandra glabra.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for the determination of the content of total Flavonoid in Fructus Psoraleae by UV spectrophotometry.METHODS:The determination was performed using Bavachin standard as control substance,and sodium hydroxide as color-developing agent,with the wavelength set at 440nm.RESULTS:The absorbency and concentration of Bavachin have good linearity in the range of 4.10～ 12.30? g? mL-1(r=0.999 8).The average recovery rate was 100.5%(RSD=1.57%,n=9).CONCLUSION:The method is easy to operate,highly accurate,reproducible and can be applied to determine the content of total Flavonoid in Fufang Psoralen corylifolia sustained-release tablets.
ABSTRACT
Objective To screen out the effective constituents with estrogenic action in Fructus psoraleae. Methods Fructus psoraleae was separated by using systemic solvent distillation method, and the effective fraction was screened out by the experiment of increasing the uterine weight in mice. Then the petroleum fraction was separated by sil; ca gel chromatrography and the effective constituent was screened by the experiment of increasing the uterine weight in mice. Results High-dose(5g/kg) of the petroleum fraction showed obvious estrogenic action (P
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of Fructus Psoraleae on the proliferation and differentiation of cultured osteoblast isolated from neonatal rat's calvarium.Methods Calvarium osteoblasts of new born SD rat were cultured and exposed to different concentrations of Fructus Psoraleae extract,then the content of alkaline phosphatase(ALP)in the cell was measured and the cell proliferation was detected by tetrazoline colorimetry(MTT).Results Ethyl acetate extract and alcohol extract from Fructus Psoraleae can improve the activity of ALP and the proliferation of rat's cultured osteoblasts,the optimum concentration was 2.0?10-3 mg/mL.Conclusion Ethyl acetate extract and alcohol extract from Fructus Psoraleae can stimulate the differentiation and proliferation of osteoblasts in vitro.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To explore the optimal separation of the total flavonoid from Radix Puerariae by selecting appropriate macroporous resins and to study systematically the factors which affect separation. METHODS: Static and dynamic adsoption desorption methods were adopted, and evaluated for separating efficiency by measuring the concentration of total flavonoid in Radix Pueraria with UV spectrophotometer. RESULTS: The SP70 macroporous resin had the best separating efficiency when the flavonoid content in the liquid was 0.5g per 1mL equivalemt to raw material. pH5～6. the volume of drug 60BV (resin bed volume) with the adsorption power 2BV/h. and the volume of 70%(mL?mL -1 ) ethanol as eluant 4BV with desorption power 2BV/h. In result. total flavonoid's purity could reach 80%. CONCLUSION: This method is simple and feasible with good effect of separation, which can meet industrial requirements.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To determine coumarin and flavonoid in Compound Buguzhi Sustained-Release Tablet(Fructus Psoraleae,etc). METHODS: HPLC method was developed.The separation was performed on an ODS column with the mobile phase of CH_3OH-H_2O.The flow rate was 1 mL/min and the detection wavelength was 320 nm. RESULTS: The result showed that there was good linear relation between the area and the concentration of psoralen、isopsoralen、isobavachin、bavachin、corylin、corylifolinin、bvachinin、psoraidin and bavachalcone within 0.4-152.0,26.4-132.0,13.6-66.0,27.2-136.0,31.2-156.0,48.8-244.0,50.4-252.0,36.0-180.0,(8.8)-44.0 ?g/mL.The average recovery of psoralen and bavachin is 98.7% and 97.6%. CONCLUSION: This method is convenient,reliable,and can be used to control the quality of Compound Buguzhi Sustained-Release Tablet.
