ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a method for determining the contents of polyphyllin Ⅰ and polyphyllin Ⅱ in Kangkeling Mixture. Methods The contents of polyphyllin Ⅰ and Ⅱ were determined by HPLC gradient elution. Poroshell 120 Ec-C18 column (4.6 mm × 150 mm, 4 μm) was used; Acetonitrile-water (A:B) was set as the mobile phase; the flow rate was 1.0 mL/min; the detection wavelength was 210 nm; column temperature was 30 ℃. Results Polyphyllin Ⅰ showed good linear relationship in the range of 1.009–10.09 μg (r=0.999 6), and the average recovery was 97.31% (RSD=2.05%, n=6). Polyphyllin Ⅱ showed good linear relationship in the range of 0.640 5–6.405 μg (r=0.999 8), and the average recovery was 96.41% (RSD=1.67%, n=6). Conclusion The method is simple, with good repeatability and accurate results, which can be used to determine the contents of polyphyllin Ⅰ and Ⅱ in Kangkeling Mixture.

ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To assess the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes of estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) gene with schizophrenia.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Three SNPs (rs2234693, rs9340799 and rs3798759) were determined in 333 schizophrenic patients and 315 healthy subjects with polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. Allelic and genotypic frequencies and particular haplotypes were compared between the two groups using Chi-square test.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The allelic and genotypic frequencies of rs2234693 and rs9340799 showed no significant difference between the two groups (P U+003E 0.05). However, a significant difference was detected in the frequencies of rs3798759 G allele and GG genotype between the two groups (P U+003C 0.01). Single factor analysis stratified by sex also found that frequencies of rs3798759 GG and TG genotypes and G allele were significantly higher in female schizophrenia patients compared with healthy females (P U+003C 0.05). Haplotypes C-A-G and C-G-G were more common in schizophrenia group (P U+003C 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>polymorphisms of rs3798759 may be a risk factor for female patients with schizophrenia, and haplotypes C-A-G and C-G-G may be risk factors for schizophrenia.</p>
