ABSTRACT
Regulations for the Implementation of the Drug A dministration Law of the People's Republic of China made status quo administration centralized large-scale cultivation farming, quality controls and complied with the provisions of herbal variety conditions of departments of the State Drug Administration. This article summarized the current implementation of approval number on decoction pieces and extracts of Chinese medicine. It also analyzed the faint classification between extracts of Chinese medicine of implementing approval document with those of imple-menting approval document for chemical drugs. Further details of implementing and improving approval document for decoction pieces and extracts of Chinese medicine were also discussed.
ABSTRACT
In 1999, the nomenclature and case definitions for neuropsychiatric lupus syndromes were published by American College of Rheumatology (ACR), and the cognition of neuropsychiatric damage of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was gradually unified and standardized. Lupus headache is an intractable problem in SLE, especially in SLE patients complicated with multiple organ injury. In general, vascular headache is common in most SLE patients, and a small number of SLE patients complicated with nervous headache are found in clinic. Moreover, its pathophysiological mechanism is far from being understood. Although early diagnosis is essential for good outcomes, the diagnosis method is rather confused in the world. There still exist some limitations in the proposal of clinical classification of headache from ACR and International Headache Society (IHS), and the proposal does not mention the classification of headache related to psychiatric damage. Current therapeutic regimens are almost exclusively based on empirical evidence. Treatment approaches include symptomatic treatment, immunosuppressive, anticoagulant and anti-aggregant therapies. It provides enormous and hopeful space in research of combined therapy strategy, especially in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. The authors discussed the relationship between lupus headache and headache due to internal injury in the view of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and suggested that the treatment strategy for lupus headache should be made in argument with the headache due to internal injury. Syndrome differentiation treatment according to deficiency in the root and excess in the branch and the therapy for activating blood to dredge collaterals maybe have great advantages in treatment of the headache in SLE.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To investigate the chemical constituents of the plant drug Cornus officinalis Sieb et Zucc. which is widely used in Chinese traditional medicine, having actions of invigorating the liver and kidney, strengthening the body, and of an astringent, etc. METHODS: A sedoheptulose gallate was isolated from the water extracts of fruits of C.officinalis using various chromatographies. The structure determination was based on spectral (UV, IR, 1H & 13CNMR and MS) and chemical evidence. RESULTS: Its structure was characterized to be 7-O-galloyl-D-sedoheptulose (I). The proportion of its three major conformation forms of β-F, α-F and α-P in aqueous solution was estimated to be 57:24:19 according to their C-1 peak heights in the 13CNMR spectrum. CONCLUSION: I was found in natural world for the first time and its β-D-heptufuranosyl form was the predominant existing tautomer in its equilibrated aqueous solution according to NMR determination.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To determine the contents of corilagin in Erodium stephanianum Willd. from different collection month and to define the best collection time for this herb. METHODS: The contents of corilagin in each samples of E. stephanianum were determined by HPLC. RESULTS: The linear regression of corilagin was obtained in the range of 0.22～1.10?g. The average recovery was 98.6% with a RSD of 0.63%. CONCLUSION: The content of corilagin in E. stephanianum collected in August is the highest among the samples throughout the collection months.
