We systematically analyzed the accessibility of 56 scenic spots in Xi’an City, China, via car and public transport travel modes using the real-time travel function of the Baidu Maps API(Application Programming Interface) along with spatial analysis methods and the modal accessibility gap index of scenic spots. We obtained the following results. First, maximum and minimum travel times using public transport exceeded those using cars. Moreover, the accessibility of scenic spots via cars and public transport presented a circular spatial pattern of increasing travel time from the center to the periphery. Contrasting with travel by public transport, car travel showed a clear time-space compression effect. Second, accessibility of the scenic spots via cars and public transport showed some spatial heterogeneity, with no clear advantages of car accessibility in the central urban area. However, advantages of car accessibility were increasingly evident moving from the center to the periphery. Third, whereas the correlation of the modal accessibility gap index of scenic spots in Xi’an with global space was significantly positive, local spatial interdependence was only evident in some inner city areas and in marginal areas. Moreover, spatial heterogeneity was evident in two regions but was insignificant in other areas, indicating that the spatial interdependence of the modal accessibility gap index in most scenic spots was not apparent in terms of the overall effect of public transport routes, road networks, and the distribution of scenic spots. The improvement of public transport coverage in marginal areas and the optimization of public transport routes in central urban areas are essential tasks for improving travel using public transport in the future.展开更多

The HPLC system consisted of Stable Bond - C18 column （4.6 × 150 mm, 5um） and with a mobile phase of acetonitrile -0.05mol/L potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution （50：50,v：v） mixture. Berberine hydrochloride was detected at the wavelength of 345 nm, with a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min and a column temperature of 30 ℃. The excipients and solvents in the granule could be well separated from the drug under such a designated chromatogram condition and did not interfere with the assay. A good linear relationship was found between peak area and the concentration of berberine hydrochloride in the range of 16.0 -48.0 I^g/mL. The average recovery of berberine hydrochloride was 99.09%. The established approach was specific, accurate, reliable, prompt, sensitive and applicable, and could be used to control the quality of Qingwen Baidu granule.展开更多

[ Method] With ethyl ace- tate-acetone-formic acid-water （10：7：2：0.5） as the developer and 10% sulfuric acid ethanol solution as the chromogenic reagent, the samples were heated at 100 ~C until the spots were clearly visible, and the existence of gardenoside was checked under natural light. With toluene-acetone（9：l ） as the developer and 5% vanillin sulfuric acid solution as the chromogenic reagent, the samples were heated at 105 ~C until the spots were clearly visible, and the existence of sarsasapogenin was checked under natural light. [Result] Qingwen baidu granules had the same spots with gardenoside and sarsasapogenin at the same Rfvalue under natural light. [ Conclusion] A TLC method detecting gardenoside and sarsasapogenin in Qingwen baidu granules was established, which had good specificity and repeatability, suitable for rapid detection of gardenoside and sarsasapogenin.展开更多
