    A standardized HPLC-PDA-ESI/MS profiling method was used to identify the phenolic components of Erigeron breviscapus and breviscapine. A general phenolic quantification method was used to quantify the components. As a result,33 hydroxycinnamates and 16 flavonoids were detected in E. breviscapus, a plant used in traditional Chinese medicine for treating cardiocerebral diseases. Eighteen flavonoids were detected in breviscapine,an E. breviscapus derived drug. The hydroxycinnamates were quantified using HPLC-PDA at the detection wavelength of 326 nm and the mole relative response factors (MRRF). Dried chlorogenic acid was used as calibration standard. Similarly,8 apigenins,4 luteolins,3 flavonol 3-O-glycosides,and the 7-O-glucuronides of quercetin and isorhamnetin were quantified using apigenin (at 336 nm) and rutin (at 354 nm) as calibration standards and MRRF value for each compound. This was the first detection of over 10 flavonoids in breviscapine,and the quantification of each phenolic component in E. breviscapus.

    Recent studies of anti-adhesion mechanism of tetramethylpyrazine were reviewed to provide reference for clinical study and new drug development.It was found that the anti-adhesion mechanism of tetramethylpyrazine involved multi-targets and multi-links such as the inhibition of proliferation of collagen,over-expression of adhesion related factors,and reduction of the concentration of white blood cells and fibrin in plasma.In future,more clinical evidence was still required,and the basic research of tetramethylpyrazine should be focused on the biomaterial development.

    In order to obtain Atype oligomeric procyanidins from litchi pericarp with higher purity,C18 silica gel column was used to optimize the traditional preparation process,which was purified and enriched by using AB-8 macroporous resin.According to the component analysis,HPLC and LC-MS identification of litchi pericarp oligomeric procyanidins (LPOPC) prepared by C18 silica gel,the total phenol content of LPOPC was up to 940±123 mg/g,in which (-)-epicatechin monomer,A-type procyanidin dimer and trimer played an important role,occupying 44.86%,36.02% and 9.86%,respectively.The average polymerization degree of the new LPOPC was about 1.62.Consequently,the known A-type procyanidin oligomers,such as procyanidin A2 and trimer,epicatechin (4β→8,2β→O→7)-epicatechin-(4β→8)-epicatechin,can be isolated from the LPOPC more efficiently by Toyopearl HW-40s column.In addition,the isobologram analysis suggested that the purified A-type procyanidin dimer and trimer all possessed strong radical scavenging capacities,and showed synergistic antioxidant effect.

    The experiment concerning in vitro effect of Acanthopanax senticosus polysaccharide (ASPS) on signal transduction of peripheral lymphocyte was conducted to investigate the mechanism of immunoregulation effect of ASPS.Peripheral blood lymphocyte suspension was prepared,and T,B cells of which were separated and co-incubated with or without various concentrations of ASPS (40,80,160,320 μg/mL) separately to determine lymphocyte proliferation measured by MTT assay.Anti-TLR4 was designed to discuss the lymphocyte receptor.The results showed that ASPS significantly improved the T cell proliferation and the concentration of IL-2 secreted by lymphocyte (P<0.05),but had no significant effect on the B cell proliferation and the concentration of IL-4 (P>0.05).ASPS induced the production of TNF-α,NO,iNOS as well as NF-κB secreted by lymphocyte when TLR4 antibody was not supplemented in culture solution (P<0.05),and these indices were not affected when TLR4 antibody was added in the culture solution (P>0.05).These results suggested that T lymphocyte probably as one of the direct target cells was mediated by ASPS through TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway.
