<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[We established a method for separating mogrosides from unripe <i>Siraitia grosvenorii </i>by High-speed countercurrent chromatography(HSCCC). Crude mogrosides fraction was enriched by macroporous resin method,and then separated by HSCCC. The two-phase solvent system composed of chloroform-methanol-n-butanol-water(5:6:1:4, v/v/v/v)was used for separation. The upper phase was used as the stationary phase, while the lower phase as the mobile phase. The rotation speed was 860 r·min<sup>-1</sup>, the flow rate was 2.5 mL·min<sup>-1</sup>, and the detection wavelength was 203 nm. 11-O-mogroside Ⅱ, mogroside Ⅱ E, 11-O-mogroside Ⅲ and mogroside Ⅲ, four compounds were prepared in one step,with the purity of 95.5%,98.2%,80.1% and 97.6%, respectively. This method that has the advantages of high sample recovery rate, low loss and avoiding sample inactivation, which successfully realized the rapid and effective separation of mogrosides. Hence, HSCCC can improve separation efficiency and provide theoretical foundation for the separation and purification of moremogrosides, complementing and optimizing the method for separating mogrosides.]]></description>

<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[Database system establishing and data mining of traditional medicinal plants are beneficial for ethnopharmacological researches. On the basis of top-level design, we firstly systemized the relevant information of medicinal plants collected in the medicinal market during the Dragon-Boat Festival in Jingxi County, Guangxi, Southwest China. The information included morphological information, medicinal value, traditional usages and others of medicinal plants. By using Microsoft Office Access and Java Programming, an open database system was designed and built. Except for some simple algorithm of query and statistics, we extracted and calculated different weight values from different features of medicinal plants so that we could investigate the relationship among different types of medicinal plants. The results of analysis can be displayed directly as bar charts and pie charts. This database system can not only be used for efficient search on information of medicinal plants, but also profoundly do some statistical analysis to greatly increase the possibility of knowledge discovery from this database.]]></description>

<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[In order to investigate components of purine alkaloids and contents of tea polyphenols, catechins, free amino acids, flavonoids and theanine(Thea)in different leaf positions of <i>Camellia gymnogyna</i> were studied by the methods of ultraviolet spectrophotometry and high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC). The results showed that the component of purine alkaloids, consisted of caffeine(Caf), theobromine(Tb)and theacrine(Tc), had significant differences between the<i> C. sinensis </i> and <i>C. gymnogyna</i>. Tb content was the highest, reached 13.46-39.72 mg·g<sup>-1</sup>, Caf content was the lowest, only kept 0.51-2.02 mg·g<sup>-1</sup>, and the content of Tc increased with leaves maturing. However, <i> C. sinensis</i> only contained caffeine and theobromine, whose contents respectively varied from 22.22 to 53.13 mg·g<sup>-1</sup>, 0.47 to 12.82 mg·g<sup>-1</sup>. In the same tea leaf position, catechins component of <i>C. gymnogyna</i> were as follows: EGCG&gt;C&gt;ECG&gt;EGC&gt;EC&gt;GC&gt;CG&gt;GCG, and the total amount of catechins, ester-catechins were significantly lower than <i> C. sinensis</i>, while none-ester catechins content was almost the same, kept 40-50 mg·g<sup>-1</sup>. The content of flavonoids demonstrated almost same in different leaf positions while other biochemical components content were as follows: 1st leaf &gt;bud &gt;2nd leaf &gt;3rd leaf &gt;4th leaf, and the contents of two leaf and a bud were between the 1st leaf and 2nd leaf content; while tea polyphenols, flavonoids, theanine and other quality components were lower than those of <i>C. sinensis</i>. This study clarified the changes of the main biochemical quality components of the <i>C. gymnogyna</i> for the first time, especially the composition and proportion of purine alkaloids, which contained the characteristic ingredient-theacrine. The research could be served as important and valuable tea tree resources, and application in alkaloid metabolism mechanism, special tea processing, functional ingredients, low caffeine resources and genetic breeding.]]></description>

<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[In order to control the quality of <i>Marchantia convoluta</i>, we adopted HPLC fingerprint method to study eight batches of medicinal materials. The separation was developed on ZORBAX SB-C18(4.6 mm &#215; 250 mm,5 μm)by gradient elution with acetonitrile-water(both containing 0.1% phosphoric acid)as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL·min<sup>-1</sup>, at the column temperature of 25 ℃ and with the detection wavelength of 230 nm. The reference fingerprints were established, and six common peaks were found. The similarity of HLPC fingerprints of eight batches of <i>M. convoluta</i> was greater than 0.75. The precision, repeatability and stability of the experiments were in line with the requirements. The data of HPLC fingerprint analysis are stable and reliable. The method is simple and efficient, which can provide reference for the quality control of <i>M. convoluta</i>.]]></description>

<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[Tomato saponin crude extract is helpful for preventing hyperlipemia. Esculeoside A is the main saponin compound in tomato saponin crude extract. We investigated the effects of esculeoside A on modulating levels of serum lipid, liver lipid in ApoE-deficient mice and experimental hyperlipidemia mice. Esculeoside A was administrated at a dose of 50 mg·kg<sup>-1 </sup>and 100 mg·kg<sup>-1 </sup>daily by gavage for 60 d to ApoE-deficient mice and experimental hyperlipidemia mice. We measured leves of total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDLC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDLC), alanine aminotransferases(ALT), aspartate aminotransferases(AST), blood urea nitrogen(BUN), creatinine(Cr), glucose(Gru)in serum. The liver of each mouse was extracted, weighted and the li-ver indexes were calculated. Liver TC and TG levels were determined using a semi-automatic biochemical analyzer according to the method described in the tissue TC and TG commercial kit. The results showed that esculeoside A had no effect on levels of ALT, AST, BUN, Cr and Gru, but decreased TC, HDLC, LDLC levels in serum in ApoE-deficient mice, and had no effect on hepatic and renal functions. Esculeoside A could decreased TC and HDLC levels in serum and decreased TC levels in liver in experimental hyperlipidemia mice, and had no effect on hepatic and renal functions. It is indicated that esculeoside A can improve lipid metabolism in ApoE-deficient mice and experimental hyperlipidemia mice, and has no effect on hepatic and renal functions.]]></description>

<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[In order to discuss the process conditions for extracting polysaccharides from <i>Ilex kudingcha</i> by supercritical CO<sub>2</sub> fluid, the polysaccharides from <i>I. kudingcha</i> were extracted and analyzed by supercritical CO<sub>2</sub> fluid extraction. Phenol-sulfuric acid method was applied for the determination of polysaccharides. Effects of different extraction temperatures(35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60 ℃), extraction pressures(20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 MPa), extraction time(30, 60, 90, 120, 150 min), cosolvents(methanol, 95% methanol, 50% methanol, ethanol, 95% ethanol, 50% ethanol)and cosolvent flow rates(95% ethanol)(2.0, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0 mL·min<sup>-1</sup>)on the polysaccharides extraction rate were investigated and the process conditions for extracting polysaccharides from <i>I. kudingcha</i> by supercritical CO<sub>2</sub> fluid were optimized through orthogonal experiments. Single factor and orthogonal experiments were used to investigate the factors on the yield of polysaccharides. The optimal operation conditions included extraction temperature 50 ℃, extraction pressure 40 MPa, extraction time 150 min, cosolvent flow rate 3.5 mL·min<sup>-1</sup>. The concentration of polysaccharides was determined by phenol-sulfuric acid method and the extraction rate was 7.05% under the optimal extraction conditions. The results showed that supercritical CO<sub>2</sub> fluid extraction technology was favorable for extracting polysaccharides from <i>I. kudingcha</i> with the advantages of low extraction temperature, high extraction rate, short extraction period, the environment-friendly and energy-saving.]]></description>

<description xmlns:cf="http://www.microsoft.com/schemas/rss/core/2005" cf:type="html"><![CDATA[Walnut is priceless and has important economic and medicinal values. Besides walnuts can be directly eaten, the green skin, leaves, branches, flowers, shells and so on can be used as medicines. In order to further develop the use of walnut plant resources, we determined polyphenols contents in 75% ethanol extracts of walnut leaves and petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, n-butanol respectively, evaluated the antioxidant abilities of the extracts, and analyzed the relationship between polyphenols contents and antioxidant capacities. Polyphenols contents were determined by F-C method, and the antioxidant capacities were evaluated by DPPH· and ABTS· radical scavenging. The extracts of walnut leaves and their extracts and fractions showed some antioxidant activities. IC<sub>50</sub> of ethyl acetate extract fraction and n-butanol extract fraction were higher than VC, Ext. and VC, and the polyphenols contents and antioxidant capacities showed a positive correlation. The extract of walnut leaves could be used as natural antioxidant in food, drugs, cosmetics, health care and other industries. The results of this experiment can provide some theoretical basis for the further development and utilization of walnut resources.]]></description>
