ObjectiveBy comparing the composition and content of volatile components in raw products, wine-washed products and wine-fried products of Ligusticum sinense cv. Chaxiong rhizome(LSCR), to investigate the influence of wine processing on the volatile components of LSCR, in order to provide a basis for the development of quality standards for LSCR and its processed products. MethodsElectronic nose was used to identify the odors of LSCR, wine-washed and wine-fried LSCR, and their volatile components were detected by headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(HS-GC-MS), and the relative mass fractions of these components were determined by peak area normalization method. Principal component analysis(PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) were performed on the obtained sample data by SIMCA 14.1 software, and the differential components of LSCR, wine-washed and wine-fried LSCR were screened according to the variable importance in the projection(VIP) value>1. Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the relationship between volatile differential flavor components and electronic nose sensors. ResultsElectronic nose detection results showed that there were significant differences in the odors of LSCR, wine-washed and wine-fried LSCR, mainly reflected in the sensors S2, S4, S5, S6, S11, S12, S13. And a total of 62 compounds were identified from LSCR and its wine-processed products, among which 46, 50 and 51 compounds were identified from LSCR, wine-fried and wine-washed LSCR, respectively. There were 21 differential components between the raw products and wine-fried products, of which 10 components were increased and 11 were decreased after processing. There were 20 differential components between the raw products and wine-washed products, of which 11 constituents increased and 9 decreased after processing. There were 17 differential components between the wine-wash products and wine-fried products. Compared with the wine-washed products, the contents of 13 components in the wine-fried products increased, and the contents of 4 components decreased. The increasing trend of the content of phthalides in the wine-washed products was more obvious than that in the wine-fried products, but the content of total volatile components was higher in the wine-fried products than the wine-washed products. Correlation analysis showed that there were different degrees of correlation between the 7 differential sensors of electronic nose and 24 differential volatile components, mainly phthalides and olefins. ConclusionThe odor and the content of volatile components in LSCR changed obviously after wine processing, and n-butylphthalide, Z-butylidenephthalide and E-ligustilide can be used as the candidate differential markers of volatile components in LSCR before and after wine processing.

Objective To evaluate pulmonary vascular remodeling,right ventricular function,intestinal barrier integrity,and inflammatory factor expression in rat models of pulmonary hypertension(PH)induced by normobaric hypoxia(NH)and hypobaric hypoxia(HH).We also aimed to compare modeling method and establish an experimental basis for understanding the pathogenesis of PH and for developing appropriate treatment strategies.Methods From June 2024 to December 2024,eighteen 6-week-old male SPF Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned randomly to three groups:normobaric normoxia(Control),NH,and HH groups.Mean pulmonary artery pressure(mPAP)was measured by right heart catheterization.Right ventricular function was assessed using echocardiography and right ventricular hypertrophy index(RVHI).Pulmonary vascular remodeling and intestinal mucosal barrier damage were evaluated via hematoxylin/eosin staining.Colon permeability was quantified by colon ligation followed by fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran injection.Expression levels of inflammatory factors in lung and colon tissues were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.Results Right heart function assessment revealed that mPAP was significantly increased(P<0.05),pulmonary artery acceleration time(PAAT)was shortened,and RVHI and right ventricular free wall thickness(RVFW)were significantly elevated(P<0.05)in rats in NH and HH groups compared with Control group.Rats in NH group demonstrated a prolonged pulmonary ejection time(PET)and reduced PAAT/PET ratio compared with HH group,indicating more pronounced right heart dysfunction.Pulmonary vascular morphology demonstrated that percentage of medial area percentage(MA%)and percentage of wall thickness percentage(WT%)of pulmonary vessels were significantly higher in NH and HH groups compared with Control group(P<0.05).Moreover,MA%was markedly increased in the NH group relative to the HH group(P<0.05),suggesting more severe pulmonary vascular remodeling in NH group.Regarding intestinal injury,rats in NH and HH groups exhibited shorter colon length,increased mucosal damage,and significantly increased permeability compared with Control group(P<0.05),while rats in HH group showed more prominent inflammatory cell infiltration compared with NH group,confirming intestinal mucosal barrier damage in both groups.In terms of inflammation,expression levels of interleukin(IL)6,IL1β,and IL 17a were significantly elevated in lung and colon tissues from rats in NH and HH groups compared with Control group(P<0.05).Notably,expression levels of IL6 and IL1 β in lung tissue and IL17a in colon tissue were significantly higher in NH group compared with HH group(P<0.05),while IL6 expression in colon tissue was relatively lower(P<0.05),indicating local inflammation in lung and colon tissues in both groups.Conclusions There are phenotypic differences between PH rat models induced by NH and HH,with respect to pulmonary vascular remodeling,right heart function,intestinal mucosal barrier injury,and the expression of inflammatory factors in lung and intestinal tissues.These result demonstrate that air pressure contributes to the pathogenesis and progression of PH.Different air pressures may affect the development of PH via distinct mechanisms,thereby offering critical insights into the pathological changes of PH,potential therapeutic strategies to mitigate disease progression,and the elucidation of inflammatory mechanisms underlying PH based on the lung-intestine axis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between the color, odor and volatile components of Paeoniae Radix Alba(PRA) and its processed products, and to examine the effects of different processing methods on the odor and color formation of PRA. MethodThe odor and chromaticity information of PRA, honey chaff-fried PRA and honey bran-fried PRA were identified by electronic nose and colorimeter, and the volatile components in the different processed products of PRA were identified and relatively quantified by headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(HS-GC-MS), and analyzed using principal component analysis(PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA), then the differential key flavor components among the three were screened according to the principles of variable importance in the projection(VIP) value>1 and relative odor activity value(ROAV)≥1. Pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate the association between the differential flavor components and the colorimetric values and electronic nose sensors, respectively. ResultAfter being fried with honey chaff and honey bran, the lightness value(L*) of PRA decreased, and red-green value(a*) and yellow-blue value(b*) increased significantly(P<0.05, P<0.01). The odor differences were mainly reflected in the S1, S2, S4, S5, S6, S8 and S11 sensors, and the results of PCA of the electronic nose indicated that the odor differences among PRA, honey chaff-fried PRA and honey bran-fried PRA were obvious, among which the overall odor intensity of honey bran-fried PRA was higher than that of honey chaff-fried PRA. A total of 47 volatile components were identified from PRA and its processed products, including 21 for PRA, 36 for honey chaff-fried PRA, and 37 for honey bran-fried PRA. Odor analysis revealed that 12, 24 and 22 volatile components may be the key flavor components in PRA, honey chaff-fried PRA and honey bran-fried PRA, respectively. Correlation analysis showed that the L* of the decoction pieces was negatively correlated with the content of the Maillard reaction products, the a* and b* were positively correlated with the content of the Maillard reaction products, the S1 and S8 sensors were negatively correlated with the content of the Maillard reaction products, and the S2, S4, S5, S6 and S11 sensors were positively correlated with the Maillard reaction products. ConclusionThe color of PRA is deepened after being stir-fried with honey chaff and honey bran, and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, furfural and other components are generated at the same time, which is in line with the theory of burning aroma strengthens the spleen of stir-fried with honey chaff and honey bran. Honey bran-fried PRA has a stronger Maillard reaction than honey chaff-fried PRA, which makes honey bran-fried PRA with a burnt flavor and a dark yellow color, while honey chaff-fried PRA has a sweet flavor and a bright yellow color.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the improvement effects of 3,5,6,7,8,3′,4′-heptamethoxyflavone (HMF) of Fructus Aurantii on rats with damp blockage of the middle energizer. METHODS The rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, positive control group (Raceanisodamine tablet, 1 mg/kg), HMF low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups (0.3, 0.6, 0.9 mg/kg), with 7 rats in each group. Except for the normal group, the other groups were modeled by internal and external composite factors. After successful modeling, the rats in each group were given the corresponding drug or normal saline, once a day, for 14 days. The general behavioral states such as dietary intake, water intake and mental state of the rats were observed, and the fecal water content rate and saliva flow rate were measured. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the pathological and morphology in gastric and small intestinal tissues of rats. The plasma content of aldosterone was detected, and the expression of aquaporins (AQP3) in the gastric tissue of rats was determined. RESULTS Compared with the normal group, the dietary intake and water intake of the model group rats were significantly decreased (P<0.01), the fecal water content rate, salivary flow rate, plasma content of aldosterone and the expression of AQP3 in gastric tissue were increased significantly (P<0.01). Gastric tissue injury invaded the mucosal muscle layer, resulting in mucosal muscle layer rupture; pathological and morphological changes such as small intestinal villous erosion and glandular structure destruction were observed in the small intestine. Compared with the model group, the dietary intake and water intake of rats were increased in HMF groups; fecal water content rate, salivary flow rate, plasma content of aldosterone, the expression of AQP3 in gastric tissue were decreased, most of the above differences were statistically significant (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The pathological and morphological changes in the gastric and small intestine tissues of rats had been improved to varying degrees. CONCLUSIONS HMF of Fructus Aurantii with dry property HMF could improve the symptoms of rats with damp blockage of middle energizer, the mechanism of which may be associated with reducing the content of plasma aldosterone and down-regulating the expression of gastric AQP3.
