ABSTRACT
In this study, laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) was used to determine the location and relative quantity of flavonoids in the leaves of Apocynum venetum L. from the top, middle and basal parts of the branch. The leaves of the plants of one, two and three years old, separately, were collected in July. ANOVA and LSD test were employed in the statistical analysis. The results indicated that flavonoids located mainly in xylem conduit of vein, collenchyma, epidermic cells and cuticle. The data of flavonoids contents under statistical analysis showed that difference existed in the leaves of different parts and different ages. This study provided the reliable scientific material about the analysis of the ecological and the exploitation of the leaves of Apocynum venetom L.

The technology of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used for analysis Chloriti Lapis and the XRD Fourier fingerprints were established. The dates were analyzed by fuzzy cluster and fingerprint similarity evaluation software to compare the similarity of samples. XRD fingerprint with 10 common peaks of 14 batches of Chloriti Lapis were established. The average, median coefficients of crystal lattice spacing d (A), peak position 2 theta, relative intensity value I/I0 (%) were all more than 0.95. And similarity( angle cosine value) were all more than 0. 97. There were small number samples differed from others. And obvious differences between the pre-and post-processing samples. This paper shows the powder XRD Fourier fingerprint can be used for appraisal and study of the Chloriti Lapis.

The aim of the study is to investigate rat intestinal absorption behavior of three main active components, schisandrol A, schisandrin A and schisandrin B in Schisandra chinensis Baill extracts in intestine of rats. With phenol red as the indicator, in situ single pass intestinal perfusion (SPIP) model was used and the concentrations of three main active components in perfusion solution of different intestinal segments (duodenum, jejunum, ileum, and colon) were determined by HPLC in combination with diode array detection. The results showed that the absorption rate constant (Ka) and effective permeability values (Peff) of three main active components in Schisandra chinensis Baill extracts had significant difference (P 0.05). The absorption of the three active components displayed significant difference (P schisandrin B > schisandrol A in other intestinal segments, and there is significant difference (P < 0.05) between them.

ABSTRACT
Mangiferin, one of the active constituents of Rhizoma Belamcandae, in samples of Be-lamcanda chinensis (L.) DC. or its substitute was determined quantitatively by RP-HPLC. The 11 sam-ples collected from different localities for analysis were: 7 rhizomes of wildly grown or cultivated B. chi-nensis, 1 of its leaf and stem, and 3 substitutes (a wildly grown and another commercially available Iristectorum Maxim. and a I. dichotoma Pall. ). Results of the analysis showed that the contents of mangiferinin Rhizoma Belamcandae were significantly higher than that of its substitutes I. tectorum and I. di-chotoma. There were also certain significant differences between samples from different localities (P<0.05), but with no statistically significant difference between the rhizome or leaf and stem, neither be-tween cultivated and wildly grown samples, (P>0.05). The method was proved to be quick, simple andreproducible, and may provide a reliable basis for the quality control and evaluation of B. chinensis.
