OBJECTIVE To optimize the extraction process of organic acids from Angelica sinensis using deep eutectic solvents (DESs), and conduct characterization, antioxidant activity evaluation, and extraction mechanism analysis. METHODS The conductor-like screening model for realistic solvation with segment activity coefficients (COSMO-SAC) was employed to screen the types of DESs. With total organic acid content as the response value, single-factor experiments and Box-Behnken response-surface methodology were used to optimize the extraction conditions. Using A. sinensis decoction pieces and/or A. sinensis methanol extract as references, scanning electron microscope and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) were applied to characterize the products. Additionally, the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6- sulfonic acid) (ABTS) free radical scavenging capacities were determined. Density functional theory (DFT) was used to analyze the extraction mechanism of ferulic acid and chlorogenic acid by the DESs. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS The optimal DESs was choline chloride-propanediol. The optimal extraction conditions for organic acids from A. sinensis were as follows: choline chloride- propanediol molar ratio of 1∶1, DESs water content of 70%, solid-liquid ratio of 1∶10, heating temperature of 57 ℃, and heating and stirring time of 8 min. In three validation experiments, the total organic acid content was 2.92 mg/g, yielding a relative error of 0.34% compared to the predicted value (2.91 mg/g). Compared with A. sinensis decoction pieces and methanol extracts, the agglomerated structure of the DESs extract powder almost disappeared, showing the presence of lamellar structures similar to those of the intestinal wall. Compared with the methanol extract, the DES extract exhibited higher FTIR characteristic peak intensity and peak area integration, as well as stronger scavenging capacities against DPPH and ABTS free radicals. The extraction of organic acids from A. sinensis by DESs is the result of the combined effects of polarity matching, hydrogen bonding, and structural adaptation.

Objective:To evaluate the gene mutation profile and prognostic significance of adult cytogenetically normal acute myeloid leukemia (CN-AML) with CEBPA-bZIP mutation. Methods:Targeted sequencing was implemented on the diagnostic bone marrow DNA samples of 141 adult CN-AML subjects with CEBPA-bZIP mutation. The nomogram model for leukemia-free survival (LFS) rate was generated by combining genetic abnormalities and clinical data. Risk stratification was conducted based on prognostic variables and the effect of risk-adjusted consolidation therapy was investigated by Kaplan-Meier method. Results:Four variables were finally included in our nomogram model after multivariate Cox analysis,and an equation for risk score calculation was obtained,risk score=1.3002×white blood cell (WBC) (≥18.77×109/L)+1.4065×CSF3R mutation positive+2.6489×KMT2A mutation positive+1.0128×DNA methylation-related genes mutation positive. According to the nomogram model,patients were further divided into low-risk group (score=0,n=46) and high-risk group (score>0,n=95). Prognostic analysis showed that the 5-year LFS rate,5-year overall survival (OS) rate,and 5-year cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) of patients who received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in the high-risk group were 93.5%,97.1%,and 3.5%,while those in patients who received maintenance chemotherapy were 32.9%,70.5%,and 63.4%,respectively. The differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Allo-HSCT could significantly improve the prognosis of patients in high-risk group. However,no corresponding benefit was observed in the low-risk group. Conclusion:Adult CN-AML with CEBPA-bZIP mutation has a complex co-mutation pattern. The nomogram model based on mutations of CFS3R,KMT2A and DNA methylation-related genes together with WBC count can further divide this subset of patients into a relatively low-risk group and a relatively high-risk group. For individuals in the high-risk group,allo-HSCT is proposed as post-remission therapy. The above data will benefit the prognosis estimation and treatment decision for adult CN-AML with CEBPA-bZIP mutation.
