Analysis of volatile constituents in different parts of Huai chrysanthemum by GC-MS combined with stoichiometry / 中国药师

Objective To analyze and identify the volatile constituents in different parts(flowers,stems and leaves)of Huai chrysanthemumin,and to lay a theoretical foundation for the comprehensive utilization for it.Methods The volatile oil in different parts of Huai chrysanthemumin were extracted by hydrodistillation,respectively.Their constituents were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS).The compounds were identified by library search and literature screening.The relative percentage of each compound was obtained by the area normalization method.The differences in their chemical compositions were analyzed by Venn diagram,principal component analysis(PCA)and cluster heat map analysis.Results A total of 62 volatile chemical components were identified from different parts of Huai chrysanthemumin,including monoterpenes,sesquiterpenes,and their derivatives,as well as a small amount of aliphatic compounds.32,42 and 40 volatile components were detected from the flowers,stems and flowers,respectively.Furthermore 17 volatile components were shared by three parts,whereas 5,6 and 16 volatile components were unique to the flowers,stems and leaves,respectively.The results of stoichiometric analysis showed that both PCA and cluster heat map analysis could separate the flowers,stems and leaves,and their volatile components were different.Conclusion The types and contents of the volatile oil in the stems,leaves and flowers of Huai chrysanthemumin have certain variability,which provide a scientific basis for the further medicinal or industrial exploitation of different parts of Huai chrysanthemumin.

The interaction of obesity with susceptible gene polymorphisms in the relationship with mild cognitive impairment.

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in the elderly is threatening the mental health of the elderly, and the interaction of some factors is worth exploring. This study aims to explore the interactions of obesity and gene polymorphisms in the relationship with MCI. A total of 2555 community resident dwellings include 444 participants who met MCI criteria recruited from the Ningxia province of China. Fourteen MCI-susceptible single nucleotide polymorphisms were detected using a high-throughput mass spectrometer. The interaction was examined by performing the multifactor dimensionality reduction model and unconditional logistic regression model. Logistic regression showed that obesity (OR = 1.42, 95%CI: 1.04-1.94), rs2075650G allele carrying (OR = 17.95, 95%CI: 1.32-244.95), rs11556505T allele carrying (OR = 0.06, 95%CI: 0.01-0.87) were statistically associated with MCI. Multifactor dimensionality reduction analysis showed a strong antagonistic effect between obesity and rs4402960 (Interaction dendrogram between obesity and rs4402960 is red) and a weak synergy effect on rs7901695 (Interaction dendrogram between obesity and rs7901695 is green). The hierarchical analysis showed obesity is a risk factor for MCI in the non-rs4402960T allele carrier group (OR = 1.55, 95%CI: 1.02-2.35). This study found that obesity is an independent risk factor for MCI, and the interactions with MCI-susceptible gene polymorphisms suggest a possible precision preventive intervention program should be developed to reduce the risk of MCI among individuals with obesity in the community.

Comparison of liposoluble constituents and study on in vitro antioxidant activities of different processed products of Huaizhong No. 1 Rehmannia glutionsa / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE To co mpare the difference of liposoluble constitue nts in different processed products of Huaizhong No.1 Rehmannia glutionsa （fresh R. glutionsa ，R. glutionsa and prepared R. glutionsa ），and to evaluate its in vitro antioxidant activity preliminarily. METHODS Liposoluble extracts were extracted from 3 processed products of R. glutionsa by Soxhlet extraction. Their constituents were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The spectral library of NIST 98 system was used to automatically retrieve the mass spectrum information of components ，and the structures of compounds were identified in combination with relevant literature and by comparing with eight peak index and EPA/NIH library. Relative contents of the components were calculated by using peak area normalization method with Hewlett Packard software. The antioxidant activities of liposoluble constituents in 3 processed products of R. glutionsa were investigated by 1，1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl（DPPH）free radical scavenging. RESULTS A total of 79 liposoluble components were identified from different processed products of R. glutionsa，and 48，52 and 37 liposoluble compounds were identified from fresh R. glutionsa ，R. glutionsa and prepared R. glutionsa，respectively；their relative contents accounted for 92.69％，86.29％，92.89％ of the total components respectively. Among them ，there were 20 liposoluble compounds totally ，and their relative contents accounted for 88.73％，80.89％ and 85.87％ of liposoluble components in each processed product respectively ；they were mainly composed of fatty acids such as methyl linoleate，methyl palmitate and methyl oleate. In addition ，there were 18 unique liposoluble components in fresh R. glutionsa ， mostly terpenoids ；there were 17 and 6 unique liposoluble components in R. glutionsa and prepared R. glutionsa ，mostly alkanes. The results of antioxidant experiment showed that median scavenging concentrations of liposoluble components to DPPH limeng free radical were 0.756，0.660，0.758 mg/mL，respectively. CONCLUSIONS The common liposoluble components in different processed products of R. glutionsa are mostly acids；the unique liposoluble components in fresh R. glutionsa are mostly terpenoids ，and those of R. glutionsa and prepared R. glutionsa are mostly alkanes ；the liposoluble constituents possess in vitro antioxidant activities.

Simultaneous Determination of 4 Components in Regan Saibisitan Granules by RP-HPLC / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To establish the method for simultaneous determination of gallic acid,rosmarinic acid,liquiritin and ammonium glycyrrhetate in Regan saibisitan granules. METHODS:RP-HPLC method was adopted. The determination was per-formed on Waters RP-C18 column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.2% phosphoric acid (gradient elution) at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelengths were 210 nm(gallic acid,rosmarinic acid and liquiritin),230 nm(ammonium glyc-yrrhetate). The column temperature was 28 ℃,and sample size was 20 μL. RESULTS:The linear ranges were 0.2744-7.546 μg for gallic acid(r=0.9998),0.1870-5.143 μg for rosmarinic acid(r=0.9996),0.1300-3.575 μg for liquiritin(r=0.9999)and 0.2540-6.985μg for ammonium glycyrrhetate(r=0.9998),respectively. The LOQ were 2.67,1.36,1.09 and 2.11 ng,respective-ly. The LOD were 1.03,0.62,0.87 and 0.91 ng,respectively. RSDs of precision,stability and repeatability tests were all less than 2.0%.

Effects of conditioned media for rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells on palmitic acid-induced insulin resistance in HepG2 cells / 中华内科杂志

Objective To study the effect of conditioned media for rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs-CM) on palmitic acid (PA)-induced insulin resistance (IR) in HepG2 cells and its underlying molecular mechanisms.Methods HepG2 cells were treated with or without BMSCs-CM and L-DMEM in the presence or absence of PA.Glucose utilization in HepG2 cells were detected with PAS,glucose and glycogen measurements.Western blotting was used to assess the expression of phospho-insulin receptor substrate (p-IRS),phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3 K) and p-AKT.Results (1) Incubation of HepG2 cells with 0.25 mmol/L PA for 24 hours significantly increased the glucose concentration and decreased the glycogen content (P ＜ 0.05) in the media.(2) Treatment with BMSCs-CM significantly ameliorated the glucose and glycogen alteration in cells pretreated with PA (P ＜ 0.05),however,no obvious effect of BMSCs-CM on the cell glucose and glycogen production.(3) BMSCs-CM treatment also increased protein expression of p-IRS,PI3K and p-AKT in PA incubated HapG2 cells (P＜ 0.05).The effect of BMSCs-CM on PI3K and p-AKT expression could be mimicked upon addition of 740Y-P,a PI3K agonist,but abolished by LY294002,a PI3K specific inhibitor.Conclusions BMSCs-CM could improve the insulin sensitivity in HepG2 cells pretreated with PA through upregulation of insulin signaling component expression.
