METHOD Macroscopical identification method was used for observation of different specifications of Scutellariae Radix, including Qinwang, Tiaoqin both in 1st class and 2nd class and inferior samples. HPLC fingerprint method was used to analyze chemically the decayed central xylem part and non-decayed part as well as complete sample, and the results were described by the relative peak area. RESULT The morphological characteristics of 4 specifications are greatly different from one another mainly in root diameters, root lengths and the proportions of decayed central xylem part in the root, and so the authors classified Qinwang and Tiaoqin in 1st class as Kuqin for all samples of them which have decayed central xylem; and classified Tiaoqin in 2nd class and the inferior samples as Ziqin, for having little decayed central xylem. The 4 specifications collected from the same producing area have similar HPLC fingerprint profile to one another, while they are different in relative peak area. The peak area ratios of aglycone to their glucuronide (baicalein/baicalin, wogonin/wogonoside, oroxylin A/oroxylin A-7-O-glucuronide) from Kuqin were significantly higher than those of Ziqin. The total area of the peaks in HPLC fingerprint chromatographs of decayed central xylem part were quite lower than that of non-decayed part, whereas peak areas of the characteristic peaks and the 3 peak area ratios of decayed central xylem were significantly higher than those of non-decayed part which could be used as characteristic parameters to distinguish Kuqin and Ziqin. CONCLUSION Four commercial specifications of Scutellariae Radix can be classified as Kuqin and Ziqin respectively according to morphological characteristics and the proportions of decayed central xylem part in the root. The chemical characteristics of Kuqin and Ziqin are different from each other, so it's worth clarifying the similarities and differences of Kuqin and Ziqin in future. The result in this research can be used as references for identification and quality control of Scutellariae Radix specifications, and investigation on effective components of Kuqin and Ziqin.","PeriodicalId":9835,"journal":{"name":"China Journal of Chinese Matera Medica","volume":"15 1","pages":"426"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85888496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

METHOD: A total of 288 patients with HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B proven by liver biopsy were included in this study. During the individualized therapy, they received hypodermic injection of IFN-alpha 1b, with 5 MU x time(-1) and three times x w(-1). Of them, 125 patients received combination therapy with Yixuesheng Capsule for three months, with 1.0 g/time and three times/d; and 163 patients received only IFN-alpha 1b (the IFN-alpha monotherapy group). After the course of therapy, all patients were followed up for at least 24 months. The intention-to-treat analysis was adopted for statistic analysis. RESULT: The two groups showed no statistical significance by gender, age, liver necroinflammation grading, liver fibrosis staging, serum ALT levels, serum HBV DNA levels and IFN-alpha therapy course. The whole course and the 24-month follow-up visit cover all of 112 patients in the combination treatment group and 141 cases in the IFN-alpha monotherapy group. The response rates of the combination treatment group and the IFN-alpha monotherapy group were 48.0% (60/125) and 35.0% (57/163) (x = 4.980, P = 0.026) at the end of treatment, respectively, 45.6% (57/125) and 33.1% (54/163) (x2 = 4.645, P =0.031) at the end of 12-month-follow-up period, respectively, and 38.4% (48/125) and 32.5% (53/163) (x2 = 1.076, P = 0.300) at the end of 24-month follow-up period, respectively.
