ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the qualit y of Xihuang pills ，and to screen the differential markers affecting its quality . METHODS Using muskone as internal reference ，the content of α-pinene and other 4 components were determined by quantitative analysis of multi -components by single marker （QAMS），and compared with the results of external standard method . The fingerprints of 13 batches of Xihuang pills were established by gas chromatography （GC）method. Cluster analysis （CA）and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis （OPLS-DA） were performed by SPSS 25.0 software and SIMCA 14.1 software. The variable importance projection （VIP）value greater than 1 was used as the standard to screen differential markers affecting the quality of the samples . RESULTS The contents of α-pinene，octyl acetate and β-elemene measured by QAMS were 0- 0.628 4，0.378 0-2.679 4 and 0.320 9-0.815 4 mg/g，respectively. The contents of α-pinene，octyl acetate ，β-elemene and musk ketone measured by external standard method were 0.001 5-0.627 1，0.378 0-2.594 7，0.329 2-0.837 0 and 0.385 7-0.806 0 mg/g， respectively. The relative error of the content determination results of the two methods was less than 4%. There were 26 common peaks in 13 batches of Xihuang pills ，and 3 common peaks ，such as octyl acetate ，β-elemene and musk ketone ，were identified ； their similarities were 0.912-0.946. 13 batches of samples could be divided into two categories （S1-S2，S6-S10，S13 were clustered into one category and S 3-S5，S11-S12 were clustered into one category ）. VIP values of peak 7，11，10，17 and 16 were all greater than 1. CONCLUSIONS The content of 4 components such as α-pinene in Xihuang pills combined with GC fingerprint and chemical pattern recognition analysis can be used to evaluate the quality of Xihuang pills . The components corresponding to 5 common peaks such as peak 7 may be differential markers affecting the quality of the samples .
ABSTRACT
Objective:A prospective, multicenter randomized controlled clinical research was conducted to explore the diagnostic value of the new optical staining technology for domestic endoscope, spectral focused imaging (SFI) and variable intelligent staining technology (VIST), for gastric precancerous lesions.Methods:Patients who intended to undergo gastroscopy between August 2020 and May 2021 were randomly divided into the white light group and the new optical staining group at the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shanghai Tenth People's Hospital and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University. A sequential examination method was applied (white light to new optical staining or new optical staining to white light). The endoscopic diagnostic results and the detection results of Helicobacter pylori ( HP) of the two groups were recorded. At the same time, such five variables as gastric mucosal atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, fold enlargement, nodular gastritis and diffuse redness were evaluated for the risk of gastric cancer in the two groups. Results:A total of 419 cases were enrolled, including 208 cases in the white light group and 211 cases in the new optical staining group. Compared with pathological findings, the detection rates of gastric inflammation, atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia and advanced cancer lesions in the white light group were 28.9%, 40.4%, 64.9%, 17.8%, 0.5% and 0.5% respectively; while those in the new optical staining group were 30.8%, 42.7%, 62.6%, 15.2%, 2.8% and 0.5%. There were no significant differences in the detection rates between the two groups ( P>0.05). Compared with pathology, the sensitivity, the specificity, the accuracy, the positive predictive value and the negative predictive value for gastric mucosal atrophy in the white light group were 92.9%, 61.3%, 74.0%, 61.9% and 92.7% respectively and those in the new optical staining group (SFI mode) were 94.4%, 64.5%, 77.3%, 66.4% and 94.0% respectively. The above 5 measures for gastric mucosal intestinal metaplasia were 68.1%, 72.6%, 69.7%, 82.1% and 55.2% in the white light group, and 87.1%, 89.9%, 88.2%, 93.5% and 80.7% in the new optical staining group (VIST mode), with significant difference between the two groups ( P<0.05). In terms of HP infection with 13C-urea breath test ( 13C-UBT) results as the gold standard, the above 5 measures were 90.2%, 84.3%, 87.4%, 86.8% and 88.2% in the white light group and 92.6%, 77.1%, 85.4%, 82.2% and 90.1% in the new optical staining group respectively. The proportion of high-risk gastric lesions in the new optical staining group was higher in cases of a gastric cancer risk score≥ 4 ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The new optical staining technology of domestic endoscopy has higher diagnostic value for gastric mucosal intestinal metaplasia. Gastroscopy is helpful for the detection of precancerous lesions with gastric cancer risk score as a tool. The new optical staining technology of domestic endoscopy is similar to imported endoscopy in diagnosing gastric precancerous lesions and HP infection, which is an effective means to detect gastric mucosal precancerous lesions.
ABSTRACT
As a platform chemical, acetoin has a great potential of application in medicine and food industries. In order to improve the efficiency of acetoin production, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens was treated by atmospheric and room temperature plasma and gamma rays. Two-round screening was adopted for obtaining positive mutants, and the best mutant B. amyloliquefaciens H-5 produced acetoin up to 68.2 g/L in shake flask. Then, culture conditions were optimized in 5-L fermentor to enhance acetoin production. Finally, 85.2 g/L acetoin was produced by B. amyloliquefaciens H-5, which was increased by 26.8% compared with that of the original strain B. amyloliquefaciens FMME088. These results indicated that the high-producing strain can be obtained efficiently by compound mutagenesis, which has a promising prospect for commercial scale process.

ABSTRACT
The feasibility of frontal chromatography for determining the complexation stability constant KML and total mole of binding site Λo was demonstrated by the accuracy and precision binding experiments between metal ions (Cu2+, Ni2+ and Co2+) and chelating ligand (IDA), in which R2>0.98 and RSD Asp>Glu;binding strength of metal ions for chelate ligands followed Cu2+>Ni2+>Co2+;and the binding effect with NaAc-HAc buffer was the best.In aqueous solution, quantum computing of binding energy (ΔE) and gibbs free energy (ΔG) between chelating ligand and metal ion was performed at the M06/6-311++G (d, p) level.According to ΔE and ΔG, the binding rules between chelating ligand and metal ion were predicted theoretically.These rules were basically in agreement with above experimental results.The present work provided effective method for studying on binding characteristics of metal ions for aminocarboxyl chelating ligands, thus exhibited a good foundation for improving the stability of immobilized metal affinity chromatographic column and solving the leakage of metal ions from the column in the process of competitive elution.
