RESUMEN
Since 2016, a number of studies have been published on standard decoctions used in Chinese medicine. However, there is little research on statistical issues related to establishing the quality standards for standard decoctions. In view of the currently established quality standard methods for standard decoctions, an improvement scheme is proposed from a statistical perspective. This review explores the requirements for dry matter yield rate data and index component transfer data for the application of two methods specified in “Technical Requirements for Quality Control and Standard Establishment of Chinese Medicine Formula Granules,” which include the average value plus or minus three times the standard deviation (X-±3SD) or 70% to 130% of the average value (X-±30%X-). The square-root arcsine transformation method is used as an approach to solve the problem of unreasonable standard ranges of standard decoctions. This review also proposes the use of merged data to establish a standard. A method to judge whether multiple sets of standard decoction data can be merged is also provided. When multiple sets of data have a similar central tendency and a similar discrete tendency, they can be merged to establish a more reliable quality standard. Assuming that the dry matter yield rate and transfer rate conform to a binomial distribution, the number of batches of prepared slices that are needed to establish the standard decoction quality standard is estimated. It is recommended that no less than 30 batches of prepared slices should be used for the establishment of standard decoction quality standards.

There was no significant difference in extract rates between the standard decoction of raw and fried Paeoniae Radix Alba. After fried processing, the content of albiflorin increased by 0.26%, while the contents of gallic acid, catechin, paeoniflorin and benzoyl paeoniflorin decreased by 13.04%, 27.97%, 10.30% and 18.79% respectively. There were 14 common peaks in the fingerprint of standard decoction of raw Paeoniae Radix Alba, and 16 common peaks in the fried Paeoniae Radix Alba. Peak 1 and peak 3 were new ones after processing, among which the peak 3 was 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. The results showed that peak 1, peak 3, peak 11 and peak 15 were the key compounds to distinguish standard decoction of raw and fried Paeoniae Radix Alba. In conclusion, this method is stable and can be used for the study of quantity transfer and quality control in the preparation process of standard decoction, granules and other dosage forms for raw and fried Paeoniae Radix Alba, providing reference for the identification of raw and fried Paeoniae Radix Alba and related preparations.

The inheritance of traditional clinical value of famous classical formulae is an important direction for the development of traditional Chinese medicine industry.Compared with the previous research and development of new drugs, the management requirement of " material reference" was introduced into the famous classical formulae research, which is used as the reference of process optimization and quality control.The characteristics of compound preparation of famous classical formulae are also reflected in the core concept of " quality inheritance of classics" in the road of industrial development.How to implement the above requirements and concepts into product development and industrial production? There are many specific common problems to be solved in practical research.How to effectively establish the " material reference" of famous classical formulae of different dosage forms? How to use " material reference" to guide the process optimization of compound preparation of famous classical formulae? How to determine the daily dose of famous classical formulae? How to take effective measures in the selection of raw material to reduce quality fluctuation range? This paper discusses the key issues such as production process and quality evaluation from the following aspects.Firstly, the management regulations and research and development guidelines are analyzed, and the specific implementation methods are given.Then, the possible problems in the Requirements for Declaration Documents (Draft for Opinions) are pointed out, and relevant suggestions are given.Finally, based on the research experience of standard decoction and famous classical formulae in the laboratory, an example is given to provide reference for the development of compound preparation of famous classical formulae.
RESUMEN
Objective:To establish the quality evaluation methods of Asparagi Radix decoction pieces and its standard decoction. Method:Ten batches of Asparagi Radix standard decoction were prepared. High performance liquid chromatography-evaporative light scattering detection method (HPLC-ELSD) was established for the determination of protodioscin and protoneodioscin in Asparagi Radix decoction pieces and its standard decoction, and the fingerprint detection of Asparagi Radix decoction pieces with acetonitrile-water as mobile phase for gradient elution. UHPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap-MS/MS was used to identify ten main common peaks in the fingerprint with acetonitrile-0.1% formic acid solution as mobile phase for gradient elution, electrospray ionization (ESI) and positive and negative ion mode scanning were employed, the detection range was m/z 100-1 400. Result:The total content of protodioscin and protoneodioscin in Asparagi Radix decoction pieces was 0.41%-0.72%, and their total content in Asparagi Radix standard decoction was 0.33%-0.59%, the transfer rate of these two components was 73.6%-98.3%. The dry extract yield of the standard decoction was 59.0%-73.0%, and its pH was 4.9-5.6. There were 10 common peaks in the fingerprint, and all of them were saponins, including protoneodioscin, protodioscin, aspacochioside A and its isomer, methyl protodioscin, asparagoside F, (25R)-26-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-furostan-5, 20-diene-3β, 26-diol-3-O-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1→2)]-[β-D-glucopyranosyl (1→4)-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1→4)]-β-D-glucopyranoside, 26-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-furostan-20 (22)-ene-3β, 26-diol-3-O-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1→2)]-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1→4)]-β-D-glucopyranoside, pseudodiosgenin, aspacochioside C.

RESUMEN
Objective:There were 92 kinds of compound preparations containing Ophiopogonis Radix in the 2015 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia， but there was no effective method to identify these compound preparations. Because Ophiopogonis Radix and Liriopes Radix are similar in appearance， it is easy to be confused in application. The aim of this study was to set up a thin layer chromatography （TLC） to identify compound preparations containing Ophiopogonis Radix and distinguish Ophiopogonis Radix and Liriopes Radix in the forms of decoction pieces and standard decoction. Method:In this study， decoction pieces of Ophiopogonis Radix and Liriopes Radix were collected and separately prepared as standard decoction. TLC was used to qualitatively identify decoction pieces and standard decoction of Ophiopogonis Radix and Liriopes Radix， and compound preparations containing Ophiopogonis Radix. In the TLC， the lower solution of chloroform-methanol-water （65∶35∶10） was selected as the developing agent and 10% sulfuric acid ethanol solution as the chromogenic agent. Result:The resolution of this TLC was good. Decoction pieces， standard decoction and preparations of Ophiopogonis Radix had the same characteristic strips， which were two bright white fluorescent strips under ultraviolet lamp （365 nm）. But these two characteristic strips were not existed in the TLC of decoction pieces and standard decoction of Liriopes Radix. The corresponding components of both of these two strips were identified as mixture containing saponins by LC-MSn， including ophiopogonin Ra， Tb， ophiopogonin D'， borneol glycoside， ophiopogonin C and Liriope muscari baily saponins C. Conclusion:The established TLC method， which has significant advantages such as high specificity and sensitivity， can be applied to the characteristic identification of decoction pieces and standard decoction of Ophiopogonis Radix， the identification of compound preparations containing Ophiopogonis Radix， and the distinction of Ophiopogonis Radix and Liriopes Radix， thus serving as an effective method to qualitatively identify Ophiopogonis Radix and its compound preparations.

Objective::To establish HPLC fingerprint spectra of the pieces, standard decoction, intermediates, dispensing granules of Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata, and assess the quality correlation among them, then to evaluate the scientificity and rationality of preparation process based on the yields of dry extract and the transfer rate of acteoside. Method::Fingerprints of several batches of the pieces, standard decoction, intermediates and dispensing granules of Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata were detected by HPLC, and the content of acteoside was determined according to the method of ChP 2015.The fingerprint chromatographic separation was carried out on Phenomenex Luna 100A C18(2) chromatographic column (4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm). The mobile phase was acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid for gradient elution, with a flow rate of 1 mL·min-1, and the detection wavelength was 330 nm. At the same time, the correlation analysis of quality transmission during the preparation of dispensing granules was carried out based on the yields of dry extract and the transfer rates of acteoside. Result::The contents of acteoside pieces, standard decoction and intermediates were basically consistent. The yield of dry extracts of intermediates and dispensing granules, and the transmission rate of acteoside were all within the range of standard decoction, and basically consistent with standard decoction. There were 7 common peaks in all fingerprint spectra of 17 batches of pieces, 17 batches of standard decoction, 10 intermediates and 10 dispensing granules of Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata, with a good correlation. The 13 main chromatographic peaks in the dispensing granules were identified by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS analysis, and 4 of the 7 fingerprint common peaks were identified as 5-hydroxymethyl furfural, acteoside, isoacteoside and martynoside. Conclusion::The main chemical constituents of Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata pieces, standard decoction, intermediates and dispensing granules are basically identical. The established HPLC fingerprint method can be used for the quality control of preparation process of Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata dispensing granules.
RESUMEN
This paper, taking the formulation of national drug standards for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) dispensing granules as a case study, explores the improvement of the formation mechanism of national drug standards, and promotes the reform of streamline administration, delegate powers, and improve regulation and services of national standards management, so as to release the vitality of the research and development of standards of drug manufacturers. After nearly two decades of pilot production of TCM dispensing granules, a large number of researches and discussions have been conducted on the formulation of unified standards of TCM dispensing granules from manufacturing enterprises to national standard administration departments, it was found that this work was difficult on the basis of the original drug standard formation mechanism. The authors tried to improve and innovate the formation mechanism of national drug standards, to provide methods and ideas for the formulation and unification of national standards for TCM dispensing granules, and to provide references for the formulation of other national drug standards.
