RESUMO
Objective To establish the quality standard of Catharsis Tea. Methods Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, Scutellariae Radix and Aurantii Fructus were identified by thin-layer chromatography (TLC). HPLC method was established for the determination of emodin and rhein, performed on SunFire C18 column (4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm), with methanol-0.1%H3PO4 (85∶15) as the mobile phase at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min, column temperature at 30 ℃, and detection wavelength of 254 nm. Results The TLC was exclusive. Within the range of 0.448-1.344 μg, emodin presented a fine linear relationship, r =0.999 7. Within the range of 0.011-0.077 μg, rhein presented a fine linear relationship, r=0.999 8. The recovery of rhein and emodin was 98.52% and 97.53% with RSD of 1.02% and 1.15% (n=6) respectively.Conclusion The methods are reliable, accurate, reproducible, and can be used for the quality control of Catharsis Tea.
RESUMO
1375 cases of autopsy in our university from 1950～1989 were analysed in this paper. The results showed that the consistency between clinical and pathological diagnosis reached 79.3%. The clinical misdiagnosis were found to be 20.7%. The statistcal figures indicated that the infectious diseases occupied a dominant position in 1950s, while malignant tumors and cardiovascular diseases have become the major diseases in 1980s. Reasons of the lowering down of autopsy rate and clinical misdiagnoses are discussed. It demonstrates that autopsy is still of extreme importance in investigations of modern medical sciences.
