China Journal of Chinese Materia Medica 2014;39(14):2595-2602
Chemometrics is a new branch of chemistry which is widely applied to various fields of analytical chemistry. Chemometrics can use theories and methods of mathematics, statistics, computer science and other related disciplines to optimize the chemical measurement process and maximize access to acquire chemical information and other information on material systems by analyzing chemical measurement data. In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine has attracted widespread attention. In the research of traditional Chinese medicine, it has been a key problem that how to interpret the relationship between various chemical components and its efficacy, which seriously restricts the modernization of Chinese medicine. As chemometrics brings the multivariate analysis methods into the chemical research, it has been applied as an effective research tool in the composition-activity relationship research of Chinese medicine. This article reviews the applications of chemometrics methods in the composition-activity relationship research in recent years. The applications of multivariate statistical analysis methods (such as regression analysis, correlation analysis, principal component analysis, etc. ) and artificial neural network (such as back propagation artificial neural network, radical basis function neural network, support vector machine, etc. ) are summarized, including the brief fundamental principles, the research contents and the advantages and disadvantages. Finally, the existing main problems and prospects of its future researches are proposed.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and safety of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) guided interstitial chemotherapy for the pancreas in canine model. Methods A therapeutic 19gauge needle was inserted into the pancreas with EUS guidance,and seeds with sustained release of 5-iluorouracil were implanted into the tissue. After 14 days of clinical observation,the animals were sacrificed and the tissue response to local chemotherapy was examined. Results All the seeds were implanted successfuUy and no migration was observed. Chemotherapy induced tissue fibrous necrosis was localized in the pancreas without significant complications. The apoptotic index of tissue within 1 cm of the seeds increased.Biochemical parameters were normal in all the dogs. Conclusion EUS-guided implantation of seeds is a safe,simple and minimally invasive technique for interstitial chemotherapy in the pancreas.

Chinese Pharmaceutical Journal 2019;54(9):741-748
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the difference of chemical constituents in Scrophulariae Radix from different areas by UFLC-Triple TOF-MS/MS. METHODS: Through analysis of the multistage tandem mass spectra, the characteristic peaks were extracted with mass spectrometry data peak matching, peak alignment, and noise filtering. Principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) were used for data processing. The constituents were identified according to MS accurate mass and MS/MS spectrometry fragmentation information, combined with the software of database search and literature. RESULTS: The chemical constituents in Scrophulariae Radix from different areas were clearly distinguished. Thirty-six chemical constituents were indentified as differential compounds. Among them, there were 11 kinds of common differential chemical constituents, i.e., caffeic acid, aucubin, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, harpagide, 6-O-methylcatapol, verbascoside, p-coumaric acid, ningpogenin, 6″-O-feruloylharpagide, sibirioside A, and harpagoside. CONCLUSION: This study provides experimental data to reveal the influence of ecological environment and genetic variation on metabolite biosynthesis of Scrophulariae Radix.
5. Simultaneous determination of multiple constituents in scrophulariae radix from different habitats and commercial herbs by UPLC-QTRAP-MS/MS
Chinese Pharmaceutical Journal 2016;51(16):1416-1422
OBJECTIVE: To develop a method for the determination of iridoid, phenylpropanoid glycosides, and organic acids in Scrophulariae Radix from different habitats and commercial herbs by UPLC-QTRAP-MS/MS. METHODS: The analysis was carried out on a BDS HYPERSIL C18 column (4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm) with elution by mobile phase of acetonitrile-water at a flow rate of 1.0 mL·min-1. The column temperature was maintained at 35℃. The target compounds were analyzed by the negative ion multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. RESULTS: Twelve multiple constituents showed good linearity (r>0.9994) in the range of the tested concentration. The average recoveries of the 12 components were 99.59%-101.24% with relative standard deviations of 0.93%-1.60%. CONCLUSION: The established method is accurate and precise, which provides a reliable and effective technique for the quality evaluation of Scrophulariae Radix.
6. Determination and TOPSIS analysis of nucleosides and nucleobases in differently processed Scrophulariae Radix products
Chinese Pharmaceutical Journal 2016;51(4):274-279
OBJECTIVE: To establish a QTRAP-UPLC-MS/MS method for simultaneous determination of 10 kinds of nucleosides and nucleobases in Scrophulariae Radix processed by different methods, and investigate the influences of different processing methods on contents of nucleosides and nucleobases. METHODS: The contents of 10 kinds of nucleosides and nucleobases in Scrophulariae Radix processed with different methods were simultaneously determined by QTRAP-UPLC-MS/MS, and TOPSIS analysis was used for comprehensive evaluation of nucleosides and nucleobases. RESULTS: The contents of guanosine, uridine, adenosine and uracil were relatively high in Scrophulariae Radix. There were differences in contents of nucleosides and nucleobases of Scrophulariae Radix processed with different methods, and the samples processed by method of "sweating" had better quality. CONCLUSION: This study provides a scientific basis for investigation on the influence of processing methods on contents of nucleosides and nucleobases in Scrophulariae Radix and screening of suitable processing method for Scrophulariae Radix.

Objective To describe the anxiety of caregivers and condition management of preschool asthma children ,and analyze the relation?ship between anxiety and disease management. Methods A total of 208 caregivers of asthma children from two hospitals in Shanghai were select?ed using convenient sampling,and surveyed by self?rating anxiety scale(SAS),condition management ability scale and condition management diffi?culty scale. Results The score of SAS were negatively correlated with the condition management ability and positively correlated with the condi?tion management difficulty. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that the model explained 26.6%amount and 35.1%amount of variation respec?tively. Conclusion The anxiety of caregiver of children with asthma may affect the disease management. Future interventions should be strength?ened on the caregivers'psychological problems,so as to improve disease management and control asthma more effectively.
