Classification and Identification of Cynomorii Herba from Different Producing Areas Based on Fourier Rransform Infrared Spectroscopy and Chemometrics / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Objective: To realize the classification and identification of Cynomorii Herba from different producing areas based on fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and chemometrics. Method: FTIR spectrum data of 106 batches of Cynomorii Herba from 12 cities in 5 provinces were collected by transmission method and preprocessed. The FTIR fingerprints of Cynomorii Herba were established, and spectrum analysis was performed. The FTIR similarities of Cynomorii Herba from different producing areas were calculated by correlation coefficient method. The first derivative (1D) spectrum of average FTIR of Cynomorii Herba from different producing areas were obtained. The soft independent modeling of class analog (SIMCA) model based on principal component analysis (PCA) was established by the preprocessed 1D spectrum data. The orthogonal partial least squares (OPLS) model was established by top 6 principal components. Result: The FTIR fingerprint trend and main absorption peaks of Cynomorii Herba from different producing areas were basically the same,and 16 common characteristic absorption peaks were recognized. Similarity and 1D spectrum of FTIR fingerprint of Cynomorii Herba from different producing areas showed significant and unique characteristics. The established SIMCA model can realize the classification and identification of Cynomorii Herba from different provinces,while OPLS model can realize accurate classification and identification of Cynomorii Herba in different cities. The classification and identification of Cynomorii Herba from 12 city producing areas showed obvious geographical clustering characteristics. Conclusion: The established method based on FTIR and chemometrics can realize the classification and identification of Cynomorii Herba from 12 cities.

Research on Characteristics of Eucommia ulmoides Leaf from Different Producing Areas by ;IR and TLC / 中国中医药信息杂志

Objective To analyze and compare the Eucommia ulmoides leaves from different producing areas by IR;To establish a TLC method for identification of Eucommia ulmoides leaves;To provide a reference for its quality control. Methods The characteristic absorption peaks were identified and the positions and intensities of Eucommia ulmoides leaves from 6 producing areas were compared by IR and second derivative spectrum, including clustering analysis; Separation and identification of the active components in Eucommia ulmoides leaves were conducted by TLC. Results There a difference exited in the characteristic absorption peaks in peakshapes, positions and intensities. And the samples from 6 producing areas could be divided into one category. Results found 6 batches of sample spots of consistent by TLC, but between samples of different producing areas trace components spots existed differences. Conclusion The two methods are direct, simple, fast and convenient, which can provide a reliable evidence for identification and quality control of the Eucommia ulmoides leaves.

FTIR identification between Amomum villosum hybrid offspring and female parent / 中草药

Objective: To study the identification between the Amomum villosum hybrid offspring and the female parent by useing the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Methods: Using the FTIR to determine the infrared spectra of A.villosum hybrid offspring and female parent. Switching and processing the atlas with derivative spectrometry and Fourier self-deconvolution, to contrast for the characteristic differences in absorbance of them. Results: There were no significant differences between the A. villosum hybrid offspring and female parent by using FTIR. But 1 051.014 cm-1 was found to be the most obvious in the fourth-derivative spectrum, 771.563 4 and 1 612.432 5 cm -1 to be the most obvious in the Fourier self-deconvolution spectra. Conclusion: There are obvious differences between the A. villosum hybrid offspring and female parent in the derivative spectrometry and Fourier self-deconvolution spectroscopy atlas. Therefore, this method can be used to identify the A.villosum hybrid offspring and female parent simply, rapidly, and accurately.

DETERMINATION OF CARBOXYHEMOGLOBIN IN BLOOD BY TWO-WAVELENGTH SECOND-DERIVATIVE SPECTROPHOTOMETRY / 中国法医学杂志

A new method of determination of COHb is reported in this paper by two- wavelength second-derivative spectrophotometry.Blood was diluted with a solution of THAM containing Na_2S_2O_4.The second-derivative spectrum was measured in the region of 500-600 nm and the derivative absorbance differerce ?Ax was deter mined at the wavelengths of 564 nm and 576 nm.Then the solution was satura- ted with CO gas.The second-derivative spectrum of COHb was measured in the same region.The derivative absorbance difference ?A_(100) was determined at the same wavelengths.The COHb in blood was calculated by the ratio of ?Ax to ?A_(100).The results of determination of COHb in standard blood samples were in good agreement with the theoretical values.
