Overview of traditional Chinese medicine quality evaluation method based on overall research / 中国中药杂志

The establishment of quality evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine system that not only accords with Chinese medicine function characteristics but also is recognized as international medical circles, is an arduous task in urgent need of solving the current modernization of traditional Chinese medicine in the process of internationalization. It is difficult to evaluate atraditional Chinese medicine by detection of single active components in traditional Chinesemedicinewiththe western medicine quality controlmethod due to the overall effects of traditional Chinese drugs, the components of the overall diversity, targets, and the complexity of the interaction between components of unpredictable make the Long-term since, domestic and foreign scholars continue to explore and put forward a series of quality evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine to promote the development of traditional Chinese medicine. This article summarized the related academic ideas and developments to, providea new thought and perspective for the quality control of traditional Chinese medicine.

Preparation of novel gypenosides long-circulating liposomes consisted by sphingomyelin and beta-sitosterol modified by PEG / 中国中药杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the feasibility of preparing novel gypenosides long-circulating liposomes with PEG grafted on beta-sitosterol (PEG-Sito).</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Succinicanhydride was adopted to connect beta-sitosterol and PEG 2000. Sphingomyelin and PEG-Sito was used as material to prepare gypenosides long-circulating liposomes by using ethanol injection method. Encapsulation efficiency was determined by using protamine precipitation method. H-NMR was used to verify the synthesis of PEG-Sito, the novel gypenosides long-circulating liposomes were characterized by particle size, zeta potential and atomic force microscope.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>The synthesis of PEG-Sito was verified by 1H-NMR. Encapsulation efficiency of long-circulating liposomes prepared by ethanol injection method was 74.3%, particle size was 288.1 nm, zeta potential was -20.25 mV, the morphology were round observed by AFM.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The novel gypenosides long-circulating liposomes prepared with PEG-Sito was feasible, it had a high encapsulation efficiency and good morphology.</p>

Study on the knowledge, behavior and attitude of influenza A (H1N1) among residents in Shuangqiao District, Chengde city / 中华实验和临床病毒学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To understand the the residents' knowledge, behavior and attitude of influenza A (H1N1) in Shuangqiao District of Chengde city, and provide the basis for making proper strategies of health education, prevention and control on influenza A (H1N1).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>211 residents from 1 community and 1 village of Shuangqiao District were selected to participate the questionnaire interview with multi-stage clustering sampling.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>97.6% of the interviewed had received some kind of information on influenza A (H1N1); Total awareness rate of influenza A (H1N1) knowledge was 58.5%, which increased with the level of education and varied among diverse occupations; 48.2% of respondents conceded that their lives was affected by the influenza A ( H1N1) in some degree, and 9% of selected residents believed that there would be a severe pandemicity in this winter, while 7% of respondents didn't consider any form of preventive methods in the future; 78% of respondents expressed their wishes to be vaccinated, but 11.0% of respondents refused to received inoculation explicitly; on the issue of assessment on services provided by governments and health facilities, 93% of respondents expressed their satisfaction hierarchically. Conclusion Residents in Shuangqiao District lacked of comprehensive knowledge of influenza A (H1N1), and some specific health education should be carried out.</p>
