Target cell extraction coupled with LC‐MS/MS analysis for screening potential bioactive components in Ginkgo biloba extract with preventive effect against diabetic nephropathy

A rapid and useful approach for screening potential bioactive components in Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) with preventive effect against diabetic nephropathy (DN) was developed using mesangial cells extraction coupled with high‐performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC‐MS/MS) analysis. Mesangial cells were first divided into two groups according to their treatments with high glucose or high glucose plus GBE. After incubation for 4, 8, 12, 16, 24 and 48 h, the cells were harvested and extracted with 40% acetic acid in water before LC‐MS/MS analysis. Then, 19 compounds and five metabolites were found to selectively combine with mesangial cells. Notably, compounds including quercetin and rutin were identified or tentatively characterized according to the results of retention time and MS spectra, which is highly consistent with our previous reports that quercetin and rutin are potent protective agents against glomerulosclerosis in DN. Therefore, all these results indicate that target cell extraction coupled with LC‐MS/MS analysis can be successfully applied for predicting the bioactive components in GBE with preventive effect against DN.

Effect of quality control on the proliferation of the extract from Taraxacum mongolicum Hand.‐Mazz. in Lactobacillus plantarum

In recent years, the fingerprint of high‐performance liquid chromatography has been extensively applied in the identification and quality control of traditional Chinese medicine. It can be a potential protocol for assessing the authenticity, stability and consistency of traditional Chinese medicine and guaranteeing the expected biological activity. In this paper, a method using high‐performance liquid chromatography to identify and control the quality of the extract of Taraxacum mongolicum Hand.‐Mazz. (TME) was established. With this method, the correlation coefficients of the similarity of 10 batches were ≥0.994. The TME displayed a steady proliferative effect in Lactobacillus plantarum. In brief, this study successfully built a reliable, simple and efficient method to control and confirm the quality and the stability of biological activity of the TME.     

催化裂解-金汞齐富集-冷原子吸收光谱仪测定土壤样品中总汞含量

为建立采用催化裂解-金汞齐富集-冷原子吸收光谱仪即直接测汞仪测定土壤样品中汞含量的方法,本研究配制汞总量为0~2 ng、0~15 ng和25~1023 ng的三种不同汞浓度系列的标准工作曲线,选取9个土壤样品,3种国家土壤有证标准物质,同一样品分别进行6组平行测定,并抽取3个土壤样品进行3种不同浓度加标回收试验,以对其方法精密度和准确度进行论证。 结果显示：仪器信号值与Hg总量之间均呈良好的线性关系。根据仪器多次测定空白数据结果,按照称样量0.1 g计算,方法最小检出量为0.09 ng/g;平行测定结果相对标准偏差均小于10%,土壤标准物质测定值与标准物质标准参考值均相符,不同浓度的加标回收率范围为78.4%～92.7%。结果表明催化裂解-金汞齐富集-冷原子吸收光谱仪,可用于批量土壤样品中汞含量的快速测定分析,方法的精密度和准确度可满足测定分析要求,且实验过程中无需前处理消煮,操作方便、快速高效。     

重量法测定土壤水溶性盐总量的优化

土壤水溶性盐是表征土壤盐碱化程度的重要指标,也是评价耕地地力的重要参数,被纳入第三次全国土壤普查（“三普”）监测指标体系中。重量法是测定土壤水溶性盐总量的最常用方法,其测定过程易受多种因素影响,导致其测定结果不准。鉴于此,本文设计试验分别验证了水溶性盐浸提和浸提液固液分离这两个过程对测定结果的影响,结果表明浸提液固液分离是影响土壤水溶性盐总量测定准确度和精密度的主要因素。基于此进一步探究4种不同固液分离方式（布氏漏斗过滤、滤膜真空抽滤、离心、滤纸组合过滤）对测定结果的影响,结果表明相较于其它方式,滤纸组合过滤测定结果准确度高,适用于土壤水溶性盐总量的测定。对改进后的重量法测定土壤水溶性盐总量进行方法学确认,结果表明其检出限为0.01 g/kg,测定下限为0.04 g/kg;方法的准确度和精密度、适用范围等均符合相关要求。本文推荐的土壤水溶性盐总量测定方法为：土壤样品采用1:5土水比浸提,180 r/min振荡3 min,浸提液采用滤纸组合自然过滤;其测定结果的准确度和精密度符合相关要求。本文旨在为“三普”内业检测提供参考和借鉴,为全面摸清不同区域土壤水溶性盐含量水平及土壤盐渍化程度提供技术支撑。     

Screening of Wood/Forest and Vine By-Products as Sources of New Drugs for Sustainable Strategies to Control Fusarium graminearum and the Production of Mycotoxins

Fusarium graminearum is a fungal pathogen that can colonize small-grain cereals and maize and secrete type B trichothecene (TCTB) mycotoxins. The development of environmental-friendly strategies guaranteeing the safety of food and feed is a key challenge facing agriculture today. One of these strategies lies on the promising capacity of products issued from natural sources to counteract crop pests. In this work, the in vitro efficiency of sixteen extracts obtained from eight natural sources using subcritical water extraction at two temperatures was assessed against fungal growth and TCTB production by F. graminearum. Maritime pine sawdust extract was shown to be extremely efficient, leading to a significant inhibition of up to 89% of the fungal growth and up to 65% reduction of the mycotoxin production by F. graminearum. Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis of this active extract revealed the presence of three families of phenolics with a predominance of methylated compounds and suggested that the abundance of methylated structures, and therefore of hydrophobic compounds, could be a primary factor underpinning the activity of the maritime pine sawdust extract. Altogether, our data support that wood/forest by-products could be promising sources of bioactive compounds for controlling F. graminearum and its production of mycotoxins.
