ABSTRACT
To analyze the dynamic changes in components in exocarp of Juglans mandshurica at different browning periods. Twenty-six batches of exocarp of J. mandshurica samples from thirteen browning periods were assessed by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS. The formula of different compounds were determined by accurate mass and isotopic abundance ratio from target screening function of Peakview 2.0/masterview1.0 software. Then their structures were determined by analysis of MS/MS fragment or comparison with standard substances and references. The contents of chemical components were changed significantly in different browning periods and twenty five compounds were identified or inferred. Of the 13 naphthoquinone compounds, the contents of 6 compounds with similar parent nucleus as juglone and 3 naphthoquinone glycosides compounds were decreased significantly, and 4 naphthoquinone derivatives such as regiolone were produced; the contents of four flavones and two phenolic acids compounds were decreased significantly; and the contents of 6 diarylheptanoids compounds were increased significantly. UPLC-Q-TOF/MS method can be used to identify and analyze the chemical constituents from exocarp of J. mandshurica rapidly and accurately, and analyze the rules of dynamic changes, to reveal the browning of Chinese medicinal materials and its effects on compositions of fruits and vegetables.
ABSTRACT
The changes in effective components of Juglans mandshurica at different harvest periods were analyzed by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS. Eighteen batch samples of J. mandshurica from six harvest periods were assessed by multivariate statistical analysis with Markerview software. The formula of different compounds were determined by accurate mass and isotopic abundance ratio from target screening function of Peakview 2.0/Masterview1.0 software. Then their structure were determined by analysis of MS/MS fragment or comparison with standard substances and references. Naphthoquinone are the major markers in samples of Juglans mandshurica from different harvest periods. Thirty-eight of naphthalenequinones were identified or inferred in J. mandshurica and contents decline gradually. UPLC-Q-TOF-MS method which develops a new strategy can identify and analyze chemical constituents from J. mandshurica rapidly and accurately, main chemical constituents can be used for quality evaluation and efficacy material research. The dynamic changes in the metabolite accumulation of J. mandshurica the basic data for harvesting medicinal plants at different times.
ABSTRACT
To observe the dynamic change of parasites in the brains of BALB/c mice infected with Angiostrongylus cantonensis in order to explore its possible mechanism of pathogenesis', BALB/c mice infected with the III stage larvae of A.cantonensis were observed and killed in different times after infection. The number and distribution of parasites in the brains of the infected mice were observed microscopically and macroscopically. It was found that the larvae of A.cantonensis were distributed in the cerebrum and cerebellum of mice in accordance with the rule of parasitization of worms in the host, i.e.multiplication at first and then dropping in number. And the places where the parasites located were damaged due to mechanical action or inflammatory reactions. The time of onset of symptoms, such as ataxia and twitch was coincided with the dynamic changes in the brains of the infected mice.
ABSTRACT
Object To study the effects of districts, seasonal variations and treatments in past harvest on the five main bioactive components in the barks and leaves of Eucommia ulmoides Oliv Methods The contents of them in the bark and leaves of E ulmoides were determined by RP HPLC Results The contents of (+) pinoresinol di O ? D glucopyranoside (PG), (+) syringaresinol di O ? D glucopyranoside (SG), chorgenic acid (CGA), geniposide (GP), geniposidic acid (GA) among the sample of E ulmoides from different growing districts were obvious difference Besides, the amount of different bioactive components in the same sample had no correlation Seasonal variation and different past harvest treatments had great influence on the bioactive component in E ulmoide. Based on the monthly variation of their main bioactive component, the suitable seasons for harvest of the barks and leaves of E ulmoides are April, May and July respectively, and intracellular enzymes in the fresh barks and leaves collected should be inactivated imediately before drying to avoid lossing the bioactive components In addition, between the barks and leaves of E ulmoides, the major bioactive component had great differences, but had complementarity Conclusion The districts, seasonal variatons and past harvest treatments have great effects on the contents of five main bioactive components in the barks and leaves of E ulmooides, and the barks couldn't be replaced by the leaves simply
