[Pre-formulation physicochemical properties of component-based Chinese medicine of Qinqi Fengshi Fang].

Pre-formulation physicochemical properties of the component-based Chinese medicine of Qinqi Fengshi Fang were investigated to provide a research basis for the design of the dosage form for component-based Chinese medicine of Qinqi Fengshi Fang. The macroporous resin adsorption and refining technology was used to prepare the total glycosides extract of Gentianae Macrophyllae Radix, Panacis Majoris Rhizome and Corni Fructus respectively in the prescription of Qinqi Fengshi Fang. Their physicochemical properties were investigated, including solubility, wettability, hygroscopicity, equilibrium solubility, oil-water partition coefficient, and stability.

A pair of new -clerodane diterpenoid epimers from the roots of and their anti-inflammatory.

A pair of new clerodane diterpenoid epimers, 3-methoxyl-teucvin () and 3-methoxyl-teucvin (), were isolated from the Roots of Their structures were completely established on the basis of spectroscopic methods, and the absolute configurations were determined by analysis of electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. Compounds and exhibited anti-inflammatory activities with IC values of 0.82 and 0.

The chemistry and pharmacology of Ligularia przewalskii: A review.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Ligularia przewalskii (Maxim.) Diels (LP) (called zhangyetuowu in Chinese), is generally found in moist forest areas in the western regions of China. The root, leaves and flower of LP are utilized as a common traditional medicine in China.

Oil Bodies Extracted from High-Fat and Low-Fat Soybeans: Stability and Composition During Storage.

Soybeans contain oil bodies (OBs) that encapsulate triacylglycerols (TAGs) with a phospholipid monolayer carrying scattered proteins. In nature, soybean OBs can form natural emulsions in aqueous media and may serve as natural, minimally processed, stable, and pre-emulsified oil for addition into appropriate food systems. In this study, OBs were obtained by aqueous extraction from the mature seeds of 2 soybean crop cultivars, high-fat soybean and low-fat soybeans.

[Mechanism of Musk and Borneol on Inflammatory of Cerebral Ischemia and Reperfusion Injury at Different Time Points of Acute Phase in Rats].

Objective: To investigate the mechanism of Musk and Borneol on cerebral ischemia and reperfusion injury at different time points of acute phase in rats.

Methods: 180 rats were divided into seven groups including sham, ischemia-reperfusion after 24 h and 72 h model group, Musk 50 and 25 mg/kg groups, Borneol 50 and 25 mg/kg groups, and Xingnaojing 10 mL/kg group. Ischemia-reperfusion model was made after administration of each drug.

Relationship of serum homocysteine level with nutritional status and HbA1c level in elderly inpatients.

Background: Hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor for vascular diseases. This study aimed to investigate the serum total homocysteine (tHcy) level and nutritional status in elderly inpatients and determine the relationship between tHcy level and nutritional status.

Methods: This cross sectional study was carried out in the Tongji hospital, and 142 subjects were consecutively recruited.

Relative performance of two equations for estimation of glomerular filtration rate in a Chinese population having chronic kidney disease.

Background: The new Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation was developed to address the systematic underestimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Study equation in patients with relatively well-preserved kidney function. Performance of the new equation in the Chinese population is unknown. The goal of the present study was to compare performance of these two equations in Chinese patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
