Quantitative analysis of adenosine and cordycepin in Cordyceps sinensis and its substitutes with LC-MS-MS / 中国中药杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To develop a LC-MS-MS method for determination of adenosine and cordycepin in Cordyceps sinensis and it's substitutes.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The sawple was extracted with. 90% methanol. Multi-reactions monitoring (MRM) technique was adopted.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>The regression equations and coefficients were Y = 89.04X + 506.85 (r = 0.999 7) for adenosine, Y = 99.66X + 1 251.34 (r = 0.998 8) for cordycepin respectively. The linear range was 5.0-1 000.0 microg x L(-1) for adenosine and cordycepin. The limits of detection (LOD) were 0. 44 microg x L(-1) for adenosine and 0.31 microg x L(-1) for cordycepin, respectively. The average recoveries of adenosine and cordycepin were 98.1% and 97.9%, respectively.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The method was highly sensitive, selective and fast, which can be used for the determination of adenosine and cordycepin in C. sinensis and it's substitutes. This method can also be applied for the quality control of the medicinal materials.</p>

Diabetic Ketoacidosis Resuting in Multiple Organic Failure / 中国医师杂志

Objectives To analyse the predisposing cause and clinical manifestasion of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) complicated with multiple organic failure (MOF),in order to diagnose early and management timely.Methods 537 diabetic patients admitted in our hospital from 1997 to 2000 were included in this cases retrospective study. 182 cases of them complicated with DKA or DKA complicated with MOF (58) were further analyzed by cause, clinical manifestation, number of organs in MOF and the prognosis. Results Analysis showed that the main cause of MOF in DKA patients was infection (84 5%). The higher incidence of MOF in older DKA patients than those of younger. The possible involved organs in MOF were kidney, heart and brain etc. Involving organs of MOF were much, the mortality was closely correlated with the number of involved organs. Conclusions The possible way to reduce the incidence of MOF in DKA patients is intensive preventing and treating infection. To avoid MOF occurring in DKA patients, complications of kidney, heart and brain should be timely diagnosed and managed.

Determination of Anthocyanin Chloride in Purple Sweet Potato by HPLC / 中药新药与临床药理

Objective To develop a HPLC method for the determination of anthocyanin chloride in purple sweet potato.Methods The analysis was carried out by using Kromsail C18 column(4.6 mm? 250 mm,5 ? m).The mobile phase consists of acetonitrile-water-acetic acid(15 ∶ 76.5 ∶ 8.5).The wavelength of detection was at 530 nm.Results The linear range of anthocyanin was 0～ 0.208 9 ? g(r=0.999 8).The average recovery was 97.95 %(RSD=1.0 %,n=5).Conclusions This method is simple and reliable.

Determination of Six Isomers of Silibin in Silymarin Capsules by HPLC / 中药新药与临床药理

Objective To establish a method for the determination of 6 isomers of silibin in silymarin Capsules.Method The RP-HPLC method was applied.Separation and determination of silibinin was performed on a C18 column(125 mm? 4.0 mm) with the flow rate of 0.8 mL/min,temperature at 25 ℃ and detection wavelength at 288 nm.The mixed solvent of A(85 % phosphoric acid ∶ methnol ∶ water=5 ∶ 35 ∶ 65) and B(85 % phosphoric acid ∶ methnol ∶ water=5 ∶ 50 ∶ 50) served as the mobile phase(gradient elution).Results A good linearity of silibinin was in the rang of 0.508 8～ 2.544 0 ? g(r=0.999 8).The average recovery was 99.5 % and RSD was 2.2 %(n=5).Conclusion With silibinin as as the control,this method is simple and accurate and can be used for the determination of six isomers of silibin and can be used for quality control of Silymarin Capsules.

Studies on Quality Standard of Chongcaojing Oral Liquid / 中药新药与临床药理

Objective To set up the standard for the quality control of Chongcaojing Oral Liquid.Methods Radix Astragal-i,Radix Ginseng,Radix Angelicae Si nensis,Radix Rehmanniae were ident ified quantitatively by thin -layer chromatog-raphy(TLC)and astragalosideⅣcontent in Radix Astragali was determined by TLC scanning quantitiatvely.Results The TLC spots were highly specific,clea r and concentrated without the interference of negative controls.Linearity was ob-tained in the range of 1.03～6.15?g(r =0.9994).The average recovery was 99.2%with RSD =1.8%.Conclu-sion This method is sensitive,simple,sp ecific and accurate for the quality c ontrol of Chongcaojing Oral Liquid.
