Methods Soil and plant samples of Abutilon indicum, Calotropis procera, Euphorbia hirta, Peristrophe bycaliculata, and Tinospora cordifolia were collected from 3 environmentally different sites of the city： heavy traffic area （HTA）, industrial area （IA）, and residential area （RA）. Pb by inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry and compared Cd, Cr, and Ni were estimated in soil and plant samples Results The level of heavy metal was higher in soil than in plant parts studied. Accumulation of heavy metals varied from plant to plant. Pb was the highest in Calotropis procera root from HTA site and the lowest in Peristrophe bycaliculata whole plant from IA site. It was also lower in residential area than in heavy traffic area. Conclusion The level of heavy metal content differed in the same medicinal plant collected from environmentally different sites of the same city. Thus, it reiterates our belief that every medicinal plant sample should be tested for contaminant load before processing it further for medication.展开更多
目的对陕西药材标准收载的部分法定药用植物中文名和学名提出订正意见。方法依据《中国植物志》《Flora of China》、iPlant植物智等权威数据库和最新分类学成果,厘清现行陕西药材标准中部分法定药用植物中文名和学名存在问题,并进行分...目的对陕西药材标准收载的部分法定药用植物中文名和学名提出订正意见。方法依据《中国植物志》《Flora of China》、iPlant植物智等权威数据库和最新分类学成果,厘清现行陕西药材标准中部分法定药用植物中文名和学名存在问题,并进行分析与归纳。结果陕西法定药用植物中文名和学名主要存在定名人不规范或不正确、使用异名、拼写错误和名称混用等问题,涉及药用植物共276种(下),药材229种。结论针对前述问题提出了规范中文名和学名的建议,提倡推行使用法定药用植物中文正名、第一中文别名、接受名和学名第一异名的概念,为陕西药材标准的修订提供参考,进一步促进相关学科领域的科学发展。展开更多
