    摘要 ( 463 )  
    Curcumin is a phenolic compound derived from the rhizomes of Curcuma longa possessing potential anti-inflammatory and
    anticancer properties. Owing to its poor absorption in blood, sample cleanup and enrichment procedures are required for the
    analysis of curcumin in plasma. Now, a novel dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction method based on solidification of floating
    organic drops coupled with high performance liquid chromatography was developed and validated for the pretreatment and
    determination of curcumin in rat plasma. The important variables such as extraction solvent and volume, dispersive solvent
    and volume, extraction time, pH, sample volume, and salt concentration, were investigated. Under optimum conditions, 100 μl
    rat plasma was precipitated with 200 μl methanol then, after centrifuging, 250 μl supernatant was taken and diluted to 3 ml with
    water and adjusted to a pH of 4. Next, 400 μl disperser solvent and 30 μl extraction solvent were rapidly injected into the sample
    solution. After vortexing and centrifuging, the sample solution was cooled in an ice bath until the 1-dodecanol was solidified into
    a small ball. Then, the solidified 1-dodecanol was removed and thawed quickly at room temperature. 100 μl methanol was added
    before the HPLC analysis. The target analyte was determined over a linear range from 0.01 to 2.0 μg/ml in rat plasma and the
    limit of detection of the method was 0.003 μg/ml. The enrichment factor and extraction recovery was 20 and 85.6%, respectively.
    The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of curcumin in rat plasma.

    2013 (6):  157-161. 
    摘要 ( 446 )  
    It is necessary to study the pharmacognositic characteristics of Syringae Cortex in order to update the content of the Chinese
    Pharmacopeia. Syringae Cortex was identified by morphological and microscopic identification techniques, and the results
    obtained are described in detail. This study provides evidence for the identification of Syringae Cortex, and can be added to the
    information contained in the Chinese Pharmacopeia 2015 edition.

    Anti-gastric ulcer effect of Brucea javanica oil injection in mice

    2013 (6):  162-169. 
    摘要 ( 409 )  
    This research is aimed at investigating the anti-gastric ulcer activity of Brucea javanica oil injection (BJO) on various gastric
    ulcer models in mice. Kunming mice (male or female, 18-22 g) were used as the subjects and divided into five groups. They were
    given normal 0.9% saline 10 ml/kg (n=10), cimetidine (regarded as the positive control) 200 mg/kg (n=10), BJO 0.2, 0.4 and
    0.8 ml/kg (n=10, 10, 10). Four models with ulcer disease were established by water-immersion, ethanol, aspirin, and reserpine,
    respectively. The ulcer index were generally evaluated with macroscopic observation and scaled to determine the effects of the
    tested drugs. In addition, the pathological hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining for histopathologic examination was utilized to
    further confirm the pesticide effect. The results displayed that BJO significantly improved the ulcer damage induced by waterimmersion,
    aspirin or reserpine and the satisfied effect was at the dose of 0.8 ml/kg, but the ulcer index of the ethanol-induced
    gastric ulcer had scarcely any significant improvement after BJO treatment when compared with the control group. Data of HE
    staining in aspirin and reserpine-induced ulcers showed that all the tested drugs had noteworthy protective effect in mice with
    gastric ulcer damage. The outcome of BJO treatment was superior to the one in the control, which testifies the therapeutic effect
    of BJO. It might be inferred that Brucea javanica oil injection is effective in treating a few of pathological models of mice with
    gastric ulcer on. Precise mechanisms of the action, however, need to be investigated in the near future.
