OBJECTIVEP: To investigate ultrasonic-assisted estraction(UAE) and response surface methodology(RSM) for the extraction of asarinin from Asari Radix et Rhizoma(ARR). METHODS: The RSM was based on a three-level, four-variable Box-Behnken design (BBD). The independent variables were ultrasonic time, liquid to solid ratio, ultrasonic temperature, and ultrasonic power, the dependent variable was extraction rate of asarinin, which was used to estimate the relationship between independent and dependent variables. Box-Behnken design and RSM were used to optimize the process of extraction. The prediction was carried out through comparing the observed and predicted values. Antioxidant activity of the extract of ARR was determined by 1,1-diphenyl-2-trinitrophenylhydrazine(DPPH) and 2, 2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonate(ABTS) radical scavenging assays in vitro, and good correlation between extraction rate of asarinin and antioxidant activity was observed. RESULTS: The results indicated that ultrasonic time, liquid to solid ratio, ultrasonic temperature, and ultrasonic power had a significant effect on extraction rate of asarinin. Overall process intensification was achieved with ultrasonic time of 56 min, liquid to solid ratio of 17:1 mL•g-1, ultrasonic temperature of 52℃, and ultrasonic power of 180 W by UAE method. Under optimal conditions, the yield of asarinin was (1.55±0.32) mg•g-1 (n=3), which was in accordance with the predicted yield of 1.58 mg•g-1. The IC50 values of the extract of ARR sample were 29.701 and 64.643 mg•mL-1, respectively. The antioxidant results indicate that the extract of ARR has excellent ability to scavenge free radicals and antioxidant capacity and is expected to be used as a natural antioxidant in industrial applications. CONCLUSION: The extraction technology is simple, reliable and highly predictive.The UAE method is effective for extraction of asarinin from ARR.

Objective: To investigate and analyze antioxidant activities in vitro and the active ingredients of the methanol extract of Actinidia arguta. Methods: In this study, antioxidant activities of extract of A. arguta were carried out by using DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging assays in vitro. Qualitative analysis of major active components was performed by HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS/MS. Results: Extract of A. arguta had good scavenging effect on DPPH and ABTS free radical in vitro, and the EC50 values of scavenging effect of extract of A. arguta on DPPH and ABTS free radical were (26.275 ± 1.464) and (29.826 ± 1.309) mg/mL, respectively. On the basis of UV and mass spectral analysis, a total of 19 chemical compositions were preliminarily identified. Conclusion: extract of A. arguta has good antioxidant activity in vitro, and polyhydroxyl and unsaturated double bonds are the main active constituents.

Objective: To investigate the antioxidant activities of total flavonoids of Actinidiae Radix (TFAR) in vitro and in vivo and the related mechanism. Methods: The anti-oxidant activities of TFAR were determined using DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging assays in vitro. The content of MDA and the activity of SOD and CAT in rat liver tissue were determined. Results: TFAR have showed significant DPPH radical scavenging activity and ABTS free radical scavenging activity and the IC50 values of TFAR were 27.01 and 29.55 mg/mL, respectively. Compared with the model group, the MDA content of liver tissue was significantly decreased in the order of TFAR from low dose to high dose, and the activity of SOD and CAT increased significantly. Compared with model group, gene expression of mRNA of SOD1, SOD2 and GPX1 in liver tissue was up-regulated by each dose group of TFAR. Conclusion: TFAR has anti-oxidant activity in vitro and in vivo, and has a dose-dependent relationship with the expression of mRNA in rat liver tissue.

Objective To study appliction value of quantitative dynamic contrast enhanced MRI(T1-DCE MRI)in preoperative grading of brain glioma.Methods 80 patients who were pathologically confirmed with a tumor grade (WHO grade Ⅰ 20 cases, grade Ⅱ 20 cases,grade Ⅲ 20 cases and grade Ⅳ 20 cases).All patients were examined with MR enhancements and T1-DCE MRI. The original perfusions imaging datas were analyzed using the GE Omni Kinetic software,which produced the transfer constant (Ktrans )map,the rate constant (Kep )map and fractional volume (Ve )map.Choose ROI and get values of Ktrans ,Kep and Ve .Pearson correlation was carried out to analyze the correlation between values of Ktrans ,Kep ,Ve of different grades of gliomas and pathology classifications.The Ktrans ,Kep and Ve values of the different grade gliomas were statistically analyzed using an ANOVA .Receiver operator characteristics (ROC)curve was used to analyze sensitivity and specificity of permeability parameters.Results The Ktrans ,Kep and Ve values of each levels has a strong correlation with pathological grading (r=0.95 1,0.804,0.766).There was obviously statistically significant difference between different grade groups(P < 0.01 )by Ktrans .Kep values have statistically difference between different grades except grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ.Ve values were different between different grades except grade I andⅡand grade Ⅲ and IV.Accord-ing to ROC curve,Ktrans seemed to be a better parameter for evaluating the tumor grade with the highest sensitivity and specificity. With the cutoff thresholds of Ktrans of 0.1 60,0.420 and 0.935,different grades of glioma can be differentiated with sensitivities of 90%,95%,95% and specificities of 95%,95%,85% respectively.Conclusion Quantitative analysis of microcirculation perfusion status of different grade gliomas by Ktrans values obtained from T1-DCE MRI can assessment the degree of the destruction of the blood brain barrier and evaluate the grade of gliomas more accurately before operation.

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of MRI diagnosis and the clinical value of multi-MR imaging techniques.Methods Clinical,pathologic and MRI findings were retrospectively reviewed in 25 cases with chronic pancreatitis.The MRI manifestation included pancreatic morphology and volume change,signal feature,dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI and MRCP.The MRI techniques included: both before and after Gd-DTPA enhancement FS FLASH T1WI,FLASH TIWI,HASTE T2WI and MRCP.Results The characteristic signs in diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis were as follows: diffuse enlargement of the body;hypointense on T1WI FS;dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI,lesion and normal area always enhanced at the same time;pancreatic duct dilated like a string of beads which penetrated into the lesion shown by MRCP.Conclusion MRI can detect chronic pancreatitis earlier than CT,and it can display pancreatic duct and pseudo-cysts so is of great value in the diagnoses of chronic pancreatitis.
