RESUMO
OBJECTIVE：To study the mecha nism of Bambuterol hydrochloride in the improvement of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease （COPD）model rats ，and to find the potential biomarker. METHODS ：Totally 30 rats were randomly divided into normal group ，model group and bambuterol hydrochloride group （3.3 mg/kg），with 10 rats in each group ；COPD model was established by lipopolysaccharide （LPS）infusion combined with smoking in model group and bambuterol hydrochloride group. After modeling ，bambuterol hydrochloride group was given relevant medicine intragastrically ，normal group and model group were given constant volume of normal saline intragastrically ，once a day ，for consecutive 45 d. After last medication ，the serum sample and alveolar lavage fluid of rats were collected. The levels of interleukin- 6（IL-6）and tumor necrosis factor-α（TNF-α）in alveolar lavage fluid were detected by ELISA. The serum metabolites were detected by LC-MS and analyzed by metabolomics. Orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis （OPLS-DA）was used to screen out the differential metabolites. The potential biomarkers were identified based on the related literature ，and the metabolic pathway enrichment analysis was carried out by MetPA analysis platform. RESULTS ：Compared with normal group ，the levels of IL- 6 and TNF-α in alveolar lavage fluid of rats were increased significantly in model group （P＜0.05）. Compared with model group ，the levels of IL- 6 and TNF-α in alveolar lavage fluid of rats were decreased significantly in bambuterol hydrochloride group （P＜0.05）. Results of metabolomics and OPLS-DA showed that 21 differential metabolites and 12 potential biomarkers were found （including maleylpyruvate ， hydroxypyruvate， tartronate semialdehyde，etc.）. Bambuterol hydrochloride can significantly reduce the levels of maleylpyruvate ，methylselenocysteine and 5-deoxy-D-glucuronic acid （P＜0.05）， while increase the levels of hydroxypyruvate ， tartronate semialdehyde and. These biomarkers were mainly @163.com concentrated in pentose phosphoric acid pathway ，glyoxyli acid and tricarboxylic acid metabolism pathway ，followed by 开发。E-mail：pn333@163.com inositol phosphoric acid metabolism pathway ，arginine and tyrosine metabolism pathway ，glycine，serine and threonine metabolism pathway. CONCLUSIONS ：The mechanism of bambuterol hydrochloride improving COPD may be associated with the decrease of the levels of TNF-α and IL-6，as well as the pathway of amino acid metabolism ，energy metabolism and lipid metabolism.

The limits of detection were 0.084 2，0.050 7，0.081 3，0.081 6，0.088 4，0.050 0 μg/mL，respectively. The quantitative limits were 0.252 7，0.152 1，0.244 0，0.244 7，0.265 2 and 0.149 9 μg/mL，respectively. The results of intermediate precision ，stability（24 h）and repeatability tests all met the relevant requirements. The average recovery rates were 104.00％-108.04％，102.00％-104.94％，100.99％-106.89％，92.00％-95.18％，102.00％-105.06％，103.90％-107.00％（n＝3）， respectively. The contents of impurity A ，B and D in 3 batches of Olmesartan medoxomil hydrochlorothiazide tablets were 0.90％ -1.00％ ，0-0.11％ ，0.16％ -0.24％ ，respectively. The impurity C and other impurities were not detected. There is no significant difference between the results measured by the established method and by the external standard method. CONCLUSIONS：The method has been proved to be highly sensitive and reproducible. It can be used to simultaneously determine four known substances in Olmesartan medoxomil hydrochlorothiazide tablets.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE：To study the protective effect of timosaponin BⅡ（TB-Ⅱ）on blood vessels and explore its possible mechanism. METHODS ：Using aquaculture water as blank control ，the effects of 100，200 and 400 μg/mL TB-Ⅱ treatment for 48 h on the situation of subintestinal veins （SIVs）in normal zebrafish embryos 24 h after fertilization （24 hpf）were investigated. PTK787（0.06 μg/mL），a tyrosine kinase inhibitor ，was used to induce the model of zebrafish intestinal vascular injury ；using combing with 0.1％ dimethyl sulfoxide but no PTK 787 as blank control ，combing with PTK 787 but no drug as model control ，the effects treatment of 100，200 and 400 μg/mL TB-Ⅱ for 48 h on the SIVs of zebrafish model with vascular injury were investigated. Relative expressions of fam-like tyrosine kinase 1（Flt-1），kinase insert domain containing receptor （Kdr），kinase insert domain containing receptor l （Kdr-l），vascular endothelial growth factor A （VEGF-A），tumor necrosis factor α（TNF-α）and interleukin 6 （IL-6）mRNA were detected by RT-PCR. RESULTS ：100 μg/mL TB-Ⅱ could significantly increase the sprouting vessel of normal zebrafish SIVs sprouting vessel number （P＜0.05），and 200 μg/mL TB-Ⅱ could significantly increase SIVs number of normal zebrafish （P＜0.05）. Compared with blank control ， SIVs treatment （P＜0.01），and the relative expressions of Flt-l ， Kdr，Kdr-l，VEGF-A，TNF-α and IL-6 mRNA were alse decreased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. After treated 化。E-mail：pn333@163.com with different concentrations of TB- Ⅱ ，SIVs number of vascular injury model zebrafish increase d to different extents ；relative expressions of Flt-l ，Kdr，Kdr-l，VEGF-A，TNF-α and IL-6 mRNA were increased to different extents. There was no significant difference in SIVs number and the expression of Flt-l ，TNF-α mRNA in zebrafish treated with 100 μg/mL TB-Ⅱ and the expression of TNF-α mRNA in zebrafish treated with 400 μg/mL TB-Ⅱ， but there was statistical significance in other indexes （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS ：TB-Ⅱ has a certain function of promoting angiogenesis and repairing damaged blood vessels ，and its mechanism is related to the up-regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression.

RESUMO
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the influential factors for the stability of gardenia yellow solution. METHODS:Using pigment loss rate as index,the stability of gardenia yellow solution was investigated within 12 h under different light(strong light, natural light,dark place),temperature(4,25,60,80 ℃),pH(3.0,5.0,7.0,9.0,11.0),oxidant concentration(hydrogen per-oxide solution,0,0.1%,0.2%,0.3%) conditions. The effects of 3 natural antioxidants as tea polyphenol,rosmarinic acid and grape seed extract on the stability of gardenia yellow solution were investigated within 12 h under different light(strong light,natu-ral light,dark place) and temperature (25,60,80 ℃) conditions;the effects of different concentrations of tea polyphenol (0, 0.05%,0.1%,0.2%)on the stability of gardenia yellow solution were also investigated within 12 h. RESULTS:The pigment loss rates were 20%,10% and 10% within 12 h under 3 light conditions;5%,5%,30% and 60% under 4 temperature conditions;12%,6%,6%,6% and 16% under 5 pH conditions;4%,12%,15% and 18% under 4 oxidant concentrations. After adding 3 antioxidants,pigment loss rate decreased by 10% under different light and temperature conditions except for 80 ℃,and the de-crease of tea polyphenol was most significant;among 4 concentrations of tea polyphenol,pigment loss rate was the lowest in 0.1%group. CONCLUSIONS:Gardenia yellow solution can't keep stable under strong light and high temperature;3 antioxidants can im-prove the stability of gardenia yellow solution,especially 0.1%tea polyphenol.
