Rapid Determination of Stilbene Glycoside in Shouwu Pills by Near Infrared Diffuse Reflectance Spectro-photometry / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To establish the method for the rapid determination of stilbene glycoside in Shouwu pills. METH-ODS:HPLC method was used to determine the content of stilbene glycoside in Shouwu pills(as measured value). The determina-tion was performed on ODS-C18 column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-water(25:75,V/V)at the flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 320 nm,and the column temperature was 30 ℃. The sample size was 10 μL. The partial least square method-near infrared diffuse reflectance spectrophotometry was used to establish quantitative calibration model for pre-dicting the content of stilbene glycoside in Shouwu pills. According to measured value,76 calibration set samples and 24 validation set samples were collected. Standard normalization method and first-order derivative method combined with Savitzky-Goly filter method were used for spectrum pretreatment. The optimal band ranged 9000-4150 cm-1,and main component factor was 12. RE-SULTS:The content determination method of stilbene glycoside in Shouwu pills was in line with the requirements. The correlation coefficients,the root-mean-square error of calibration,the root-mean-square error of predication and the root-mean-square error of cross-validation(RMSECV)of the quantitative calibration model were 0.99190,0.0201,0.0236 and 0.07629. There was no sta-tistical significance between predicted value and measured value(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The method is accurate,stable and simple,and can be used for rapid determination of stilbene glycoside in Shouwu pills.

Relationship between UV-Induced Erythema and Pigmentation Dose-response Angles and The Predictors of Cutaneous Sensitivity to UV Light / 대한피부과학회지

BACKGROUND: There are many predictors of sensitivity to UVR, but controversies exist about their objectivity, correlation between them, and applicability to various races. OBJECTIVE: In 42 healthy volunteers, we assessed the validaty of dose response angle of erythe ma(DRAE) and delayed tanning(DRADT) after UVB irradiation, and also evaluated the correlation hetween dose-response angb s and other predictors of UV sensitivity. METHODS: We measured erythema and melanin index using reflectance spectrophotometer aft,er irradiation of UVB on the back of 42 males. When the erythema index and melanin index were plotted against UV doses for each patient, a dose response curve was obtained. Linear regression analysis was used to calculate the slope of those curves for erythema and delayed tanning, which were called DRAE and DRADl respectively. Also we checked predictots of UV sensitivity such as skin type, MED, MMD, consiitutional and facultative skin color, then analyzed the relation be tween dose response angles and other predictors. RESULTS: Statistically significa it linear regression lines were obtained from 41 subjects regarding to erythema and frorn 31 subjects regarding to delayed tanning. As for the relationship he tween the pvedictors of UV senitivity, only the MED correlated well with DRAE. CONCLUSION: We found that dose response angles, especially DRAE, were an objective and adequate predictor of cutaneous LJV sensitivity, but could not find validity of skin type and skin color in Koreans. A more organized study with a larger number of subjects is needed to clarify the usefulness of the predictors.

Reflectance Spectrophotometry for the Evaluation of Therapeutic Effect of Falshlamp - pumped Pulsed Dye Laser for Nevus Flammeus / 대한피부과학회지

BACKGROUND: At present, flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye lasers are treatment of choice for the treatment of congenital capillary malformations like nevus flammeus. Clinical methods have been generally used to evaluate their effectiveness in many papers. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of the laser therapy in nevus flammeus patients, we used reflectance spectrophotometry as a supportive objective method in addition to the clinical evaluation. METHODS: Thirty-two patients with definite nevus flammeus skin lesion, mainly on head and neck, were treated with flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser(SPTL-1b) at 8 week interval. Patients without previous treatment and the others with previous treatments were grouped separately to compare the influence of previous treatment to laser therapy. Erythema/Melanin indices were measured before and after laser therapy in both normal and lesional skin. Based on these indices, relative blanching effect were calculated. RESULTS: Clinically, they showed 58.6% improvement in their skin color in average and Erythema/Melanin indices measured on normal skins were 13.09+/-3.91 a.u. and 34.65+/-2.82 a.u.. Erythema indices measured on lesional skins were 26.07+/-10.26 a.u. and 20.73+/-8.81 a.u. in non-treated group and 2453+/-6.14 a.u. and 21.18+/-5.47 a.u. in pre-treated group, alternatively. Relative blanching effect in both groups were calculated as 35.9% and 31.6%, meaning no significant difference(p>0.3). Clinical evaluation and relative blanching effect showed good correlation(r=0. 691). CONCLUSION: Reflectance spectrophotometry can be useful in evaluating successful laser treatments in nevus flammeus patients. Reflectance measurements, an objective estimate of blanching, correlate well with the clinical results, and are helpful in monitoring and predicting the therapeutic outcome in dye laser treated patients.
