Abstract

Objectives : In order to distinguish Akebiae Caulis and Aristoiochiae Manshuriensis Caulis, their external and internal states were examined by microscope. Methods : The slice of the tested material made by paraffin section technique was colored with Safranine Malachite Green contrast methods, and then observed and photographed by olymphus-BHT. Results : 1. Akebiae Caulis has stone cells and fiber bundles in its pericycle part, which include square crystal of calcium oxalate. Outside of neogenesis has a lot of cells with square crystal of calcium oxalate. 2. Aristoiochiae Manshuriensis Caulis has a little lignified fiber bundles in its pericycle part, and parenchymatous cell has delicate starch grains and druse of calcium oxalate. Conclusions : In conclusion, internal forms of Akebiae Caulis and of Aristoiochiae Manshuriensis Caulis are different in that each includes square crystal of calcium oxalate and druse of calcium oxalate respectively, so that it may be possible to distinguish them with optical microscope.
