Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy can be used to both identify and quantify chemicals from complex mixtures. Over the last several decades, significant technical and experimental advances have made quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (qNMR) a valuable analytical tool for quantitative measurements of a wide variety of samples. This particular approach is now being exploited to characterize the metabolomes of many different biological samples and is called quantitative metabolomics or targeted metabolic profiling. In this review, some of the strengths, limitations of NMR-based quantitative metabolomics will be discussed as well as the practical considerations necessary for acquisition with an emphasis on their use for bioanalysis. Recent examples of the application of this particular approach to metabolomics studies will be also presented.

Objective To study the relationship between uric acid and various cognitive functions in Alzheimer's disease (AD).Methods A total of 46 patients with AD and 50 people without cognitive disorder were selected.Plasma uric acid,MOCA,and ADL were measured.Results The mean level of plasma uric acid was (217.93 ± 67.91 )μmol/L in ADs,and (337.02 ± 59.70) μmol/L in controls.The mean level of uric acid was significantly lower in the blood of patients with AD than control with a statistically significant difference ( t =9.142,P ＜0.01 ).Multiple regression analysis revealed that low uric acid,age,educated years,and hypertension were related to cognitive function( P ＜0.01,P ＜0.05 ).Partial correlation analysis revealed uric acid was significantly related to memory ( r =0.457,P =0.002),and attention ( r =0.398,P =0.008).Conclusions Low levels of uric acid may have influence on the occurrence and development of cognitive function impairment in AD.Uric acid may have more influence on the memory and attention in patients with AD.

This study was aimed to investigate the mechanism of CO-releasing molecules (CORM-2) induced apoptosis and the intervention effect of Xingnaojing (XNJ) Injection in neuronal cells of rats. Optical microscope was applied to observe morphologic changes of neuronal cells. MTT assay was performed to assess the survival rates of CORM-2 on neuronal cells. Apoptosis was examined by flow cytometric analysis and the expression of relative proteins was measured by western blotting analysis. At the same time the morphologic changes, survival rates and expression of relative proteins of neuronal cells were also checked after XNJ treatment. The results showed that CORM-2 can influence survival rates in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Survival rates decreased gradually after the cultures subjected to 24 h with 100 μmol·L-1, 200 μmol·L-1, 400 μmol·L-1 and 800 μmol·L-1 of CORM-2. It can induce neuronal apoptosis and activate Caspase-3, Caspase-9 and Cytochrome C in a concentration-dependent manner. The neuronal cells were treated with 200 μmol·L-1 of CORM-2 and then incubated with 10 mL·L-1 and 20 mL·L-1 XNJ injection for 20 h. It turned out early neuronal apoptosis decreased and the expression of Caspase-3, Caspase-9 and Cytochrome C also decreased. To sum up, CORM-2 may induce neuronal apoptosis through Caspase-dependent mitochondrial pathway, which can be intervened by XNJ Injection through inhibiting Caspase-dependent mitochondrial pathway.
