A method was developed for the investigation of the contents and the speciation of zinc in bunge pricklyash seed (BPS) in different habitats by atomic absorption spectrum (AAS). By using 0.45 microm filter membrane and chloroform, four different species of the decoction of BPS, named the suspended, the soluble, the inorganic and organic species, were obtained, and the segregation analysis methods for those species were developed. The octanol-water system was proposed to simulate the distribution of decocted zinc in the stomach and the intestine of the human body. The results showed that the decocted zinc was the main content of the total zinc, and the contents of zinc were different in different habitats, but the percentages of decocted zinc and the organism zinc were similar. The recovery for the method was 97.5%-104.0% and the relative standard deviation was less than 2.36%. The results showed that the sensitivity and reproducibility of this method were excellent.

Background: Articular cartilage and cartilage matrix degradation are key pathological changes occurring in the early stage of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). However, currently, there are limited strategies for early prevention and treatment of KOA. Duhuo Jisheng Decoction (DHJSD) is a formula quoted in Bei Ji Qian jin Yao Fang, which was compiled by Sun Simiao in the Tang Dynasty of China.

Jasada bhasma (JB) is a zinc oxide-based Indian traditional Ayurveda-based herbo-metallic nanoparticle used for the treatment of zinc (Zn) deficiency and autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. JB is made by following the Ayurveda-based guidelines using zinc oxide (ZnO) as a raw material and going through 17 cycles of the high-temperature incineration and trituration process known as "Ma̅raṇa" in the presence of herbal decoctions prepared from the leaves of and gel. These cycles improve the purity of the parent material and transform its physicochemical properties, converting it into nanoparticles.
