Paeoniae Radix Alba (PRA), an herbal drug produced from the root of Paeonia lactiflora Pall., is widely used in many herbal medicine prescriptions/preparations. Since the pharmacological effects of PRA come from multiple chemical components, it is important to establish a method for the determination of those components in PRA extracts with simple operation and low cost, which is more suitable to evaluate the quality of PRA extracts and optimize the extraction process. This work introduced the quantitative analysis of multicomponents with a single-marker (QAMS) method for the simultaneous determination of eleven bioactive components in PRA extracts, including gallic acid, oxypaeoniflorin, catechin, albiflorin, paeoniflorin, ethyl gallate, galloylpaeoniflorin, pentagalloylglucose, benzoic acid, benzoylpaeoniflorin, and paeonol. In the QAMS method established based on high performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection, only the reference substance of paeoniflorin was needed, and the other ten components were determined based on their relative correction factors (RCFs) to paeoniflorin. Moreover, the repeatability and robustness of the RCFs were studied with different column temperatures, detection wavelengths, flow rates, column types, and instruments. In method validation, good linearity (r > 0.999), stability, repeatability (RSD < 1.9%), and accuracy (recoveries within 96.1%–105.5%) were shown. Sample analyses showed that the QAMS method was consistent with the conventional external standard method. The established method provided a comprehensive, efficient, and low-cost tool for the routine quality evaluation of PRA extracts.

Abstract Peritonitis is a critical complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD). Investigators have reported the risk of peritonitis in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) versus automated peritoneal dialysis (APD), but the available evidence is predominantly based on observational studies which failed to report on the connection type. Our understanding of the relationship between peritonitis risk and PD modality thus remained insufficient. We studied 285 participants who began PD treatment between 1997 and 2014 at three hospitals in Nara Prefecture in Japan. We matched 106 APD patients with 106 CAPD patients based on their propensity scores. The primary outcome was time to first episode of peritonitis within 3 years after PD commencement. In total, PD peritonitis occurred in 64 patients during the study period. Patients initiated on APD had a lower risk of peritonitis than did those initiated on CAPD in both the unadjusted and adjusted models. The hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for the primary endpoint were 0.30 (0.17–0.53) in the fully adjusted model including connection type. In the matched cohort, APD patients had a significantly lower risk of peritonitis than did CAPD patients (log-rank: p < 0.001, HR 0.32, 95% CI 0.16–0.59). The weighting-adjusted analysis of the inverse probability of treatment yielded a similar result (HR 0.35, 95% CI 0.18–0.67). In conclusion, patients initiated on APD at PD commencement had a reduced risk of peritonitis compared with those initiated on CAPD, suggesting APD may be preferable for prevention of peritonitis among PD patients.

В статье представлены результаты исследования особенностей размножения пиона корневыми черенками. На первом этапе исследовали способности к размножению корневыми черенками трех сортов: «Sweet Sixteen» (Свит Сикстин), «Maestro» (Маэстро), «Sarah Bernhardt» (Сара Бернар) – для выявления сорта с более высокими показателями укоренения. По результатам выбрали сорт «Sarah Bernhardt» (укоренение черенков 60 %, против 32 и 12 % соответственно). На втором этапе опыта изучили влияние субстрата и диаметра корневого черенка на укоренение, на примере сорта «Sarah Bernhardt» (Сара Бернар). Корневые черенки обработали Фитоспорином М. и регулятором роста Корневин СП. Варианты опыта: контроль – торфогрунт без обработки Фитоспорином М., торфогрунт, вермикулит, сфагнум, перлит. Во всех вариантах, кроме контроля, субстраты обработаны Фитоспорином М. Установлено, что наиболее оптимальный вариант для укоренения – торфогрунт, обработанный Фитоспорином М. В контроле процент укоренения равен 83,4 %, средняя длина образовавшихся корешков от 1,8 до 2,9 см, а среднее число образовавшихся корешков на черенке равно 6,2 шт. В варианте с обработанным торфогрунтом процент укоренения равен 94,5 %, средняя длина образовавшихся корешков от 1,3 до 3,8 см, а среднее число образовавшихся корешков на черенке равен 14,4 шт. Остальные субстраты оказались непригодными для укоренения черенков. На результаты укоренения черенков оказывало влияние диаметр черенка. Черенки диаметром 2,0 см имели меньший процент укоренения по сравнению с черенками диаметром 1,0 и 1,5 см.
