Pharmacokinetic characters of rhynchophylline (RIN), gastrodin (GAS), and gastrodigenin (p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, HBA) were investigated after oral administration of different prescriptions ofYizhi:Yizhitablets or effective parts oftianma(total saponins from Gastrodiae, EPT) andgouteng(rhynchophylla alkaloids, EPG). At different predetermined time points after administration, the concentrations of GAS, HBA, and RIN in rat plasma were determined by an HPLC-ESI/MS method, and the main pharmacokinetic parameters were investigated. The results showed that the pharmacokinetic parametersCmaxandCmax⁡andAUC0–∞(P<0.05) were dramatically different after oral administration of different prescriptions ofYizhi. The data indicated that the pharmacokinetic processes of GAS, HBA, and RIN in rats would interact with each other or be affected by other components inYizhi. The rationality of the compatibility ofUncariaandGastrodia elataas a classic “herb pair” has been verified from the pharmacokinetic viewpoint.

Background: Intracervical instillation of prostaglandin E2 is a well-known and widely practiced method of pre-induction cervical ripening. Mifepristone, due to its anti-progesterone action has been found to be a potential cervical ripening agent. This study was conducted to compare the safety, efficacy and outcome of these two drugs in pre-induction cervical ripening.Methods: One hundred antenatal women were recruited for the study; 50 in mifepristone arm and 50 in PG-E2 gel arm. Any singleton term pregnancy in vertex presentation with intact membranes and bishop’s score of <4 was included in the study. Any contraindication for vaginal delivery and any contraindication for mifepristone or PG-E2 were considered as exclusion criteria. Participants in the mifepristone arm were given tablet mifepristone 200 mg orally and those in PG-E2 gel group received endocervical instillation of PGE2 gel 0.5 mg, two doses 6 hours apart (if necessary). Induction of labour was considered successful if the parturient delivered within 48 hours of administration of mifepristone or first dose of PG-E2 gel, with or without labour augmentation with oxytocin. Delivery after 48 hours and caesarean delivery were considered unsuccessful induction.Results: There was a significant improvement in bishop’s score in mifepristone group 5.0±1.55 as compared to PG-E2 gel group 3.64±2.14; p value 0.001.Conclusions: Oral administration of 200 mg mifepristone is a safe, effective and convenient alternative to intracervical instillation of prostaglandin-E2 gel for pre-induction cervical ripening.

Introduction: One of the baffling problems of mankind since time immemorial is the skin disease. Shvitra (Vitiligo) may become; a psychologically devastating disorder when it typically occurs in exposed areas. Aim: To evaluate and compare the efficacy of the Vamana and Virechana Karma in the management of the Shvitra (Vitiligo). Materials and Method: In this study total 92 patients of Shvitra were registered at Panchakarma dept. of I.P.G.T. and R.A. Hospital, Jamnagar. Patients were randomly divided in three groups by lottery random sampling method. In Group A - Vamana Karma and in Group B - Virechana Karma was given. After Shodhana in both Groups and in Group C Oral administration of Darvigomootra Ghanavati 6g/day with the Apamarghkshara Lepa for 8 weeks was given. Result: In VASI Score 2.16% and 4.61% relief was found in Group A and B respectively which was statistically highly significant. While in Group C 0.38% relief was found which were statistically insignificant. Conclusion: Any kind of Shodhana therapy either Vamana or Virechana play a key role in the management of Shvitra. For long far and sustainable effect of the therapy Shodhana should be performed priorly.
