Objective: To analyze the chemical constituents of Shanxiangyuanye (Turpiniae Folium) through liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method, and to evaluate their anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, and anti-glycation activities related to diabetic complications. Methods: The supernatant of Shanxiangyuanye (Turpiniae Folium) (TFS), obtained following water extraction and alcohol precipitation, was analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Antioxidant activity of TFS in vitro was evaluated using three experimental approaches: the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay, the 2,2’-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS+) radical cation decolorization assay, and the hydroxyl (·OH) radical scavenging assay. To comprehensively evaluate hypoglycemic potential, α-glucosidase inhibition was measured to analyze in vitro hypoglycemic activity. Subsequently, in vitro models were developed to examine anti-glycation activity through the bovine serum albumin (BSA)-fructose (Fru), BSA-methylglyoxal (MGO), BSA-glyoxal (GO), and D-arginine (Arg)-MGO systems, with particular attention to the inhibitory effects of TFS. Furthermore, the concentrations of fructosamine, protein carbonyls, sulfhydryl groups, and β-amyloid in the glycation solution were quantified using the BSA-Fru model following 7-d of incubation at 37 °C. Results: Using LC-MS/MS analysis in both positive and negative ion modes, we identified 750 chemical components in TFS, primarily including organic acids, amino acids, and their derivatives. In vitro activity studies demonstrated that TFS exhibited remarkable free radical scavenging capacity, with half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of 0.47, 1.56, and 0.36 mg/mL against DPPH, ABTS+, and ·OH radicals, respectively. Regarding hypoglycemic activity, TFS dose-dependently inhibited α-glucosidase activity (IC50 = 0.21 mg/mL), displaying comparable efficacy to the clinical drug acarbose (IC50 = 0.23 mg/mL). Notably, TFS intervened in the glycation process: IC50 values were 0.22, 1.91 – 4.96, and 4.09 mg/mL in the BSA-Fru, BSA-MGO/GO, and Arg-MGO models, respectively, with the most prominent inhibitory effects observed in the BSA-Fru model. Furthermore, although TFS may not effectively preserve thiol groups in BSA or reduce thiol oxidation during glycation, it significantly reduces fructosamine levels (in a dose-dependent manner), decreases β-amyloid formation, and inhibits protein carbonylation (P < 0.000 1). Conclusion The findings demonstrate that TFS exhibits a complex chemical composition with potent antioxidant, hypoglycemic, and anti-glycation activities. These results provide compelling scientific evidence supporting TFS’s potential as a natural adjuvant for diabetes prevention and complication management, while laying a solid foundation for its applications in functional food development and adjunctive antidiabetic therapeutics.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the impact of metal implants with different materials on radiation dose distribution based on film measurement method.

METHODSTitanium plate, titanium intramedullary pin and stainless steel plate were set into phantom and irradiated separately by 6 MV and 15 MV X ray from linear accelerator. Dose distributions derived from different materials metal implants were measured and analyzed by film dosimeter.

RESULTSFor 6 MV X ray, the maximum interface dose increments of titanium plate, titanium intramedullary pin and stainless steel plate were 12.3%, 15.4% and 20.3%. As the radiation energy was increased from 6 MV to 15MV, the maximum interface dose increment of the titanium plate rose from 12.3% to 15.1%, the maximum interface dose increment of the steel plate rose from 20.3% to 30.8%.

CONCLUSIONSMetal implants with different materials have obvious impact on radiation dose distribution. With the increase of the metal atomic number and energy of radiation, the degree of elevated dose also increases. These results suggest that correction of dose distribution is required for radiotherapy of patients with metal implants.
