Two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (2D NMR) is a widely used technique for structural analysis of small molecular compounds. It can obtain information about the hydrogen-hydrogen correlation, hydrogen-carbon single bond correlation, hydrogen-carbon remote correlation, and hydrogen-hydrogen spatial arrangement of compounds. Thus, 2D NMR has an irreplaceable role in the structure elucidation of small molecular products. However, the sample amount of trace components in phytochemical research is very low, and the traditional sampling method (uniform sampling) has problems of poor spectral quality and too long measure time. Increasing the number of scans results in several hours of the acquisition time for a single two-dimensional spectrum, which in turn causes strain on the NMR machine. The non-uniform sampling (NUS) technique can shorten the acquisition time to a large extent and not affect the quality of 2D NMR data, which greatly improves the efficiency of 2D NMR acquisition. In this paper, fuziline, a small molecular compound in the lateral roots of Aconitum carmichaelii was selected as the research object. Its ¹H-¹³C HSQC, ¹H-¹H COSY, HMBC, and NOESY spectra were acquired by US and NUS methods, respectively. By comparing the integral values of NMR signals of three chemical groups in fuziline, it is confirmed that the NUS technique has the advantages of improving the quality of 2D NMR spectra and shortening the acquisition time in structure elucidation of small molecule compounds. In HMBC spectrum, it was further confirmed that NUS technology can improve the quality of the 2D spectra and the signal resolution. This indicates that NUS technology can improve the efficiency and reliability of the structure elucidation of small molecule compounds.

Medical device imaging data augmentation is a method of expanding existing datasets by generating new data samples,which is of great significance for improving the performance of artificial intelligence(AI)medical device-related models and clinical application effects.However,traditional data augmentation methods are usually limited by the quality,realism,and diversity of generated samples.Denoising diffusion probabilistic model(DDPM)is a generative model based on the noise diffusion process,and its main idea is to generate samples with high quality by modelling the sampling process of the target distribution as a process of progressive denoising from the noise distribution.The basic principles and working mechanisms of DDPM were reviewed,the application scenarios of this method in AI medical device data augmentation were analyzed,and its advantages,challenges,and future development directions were explored to provide a reference for the field of AI medical device data augmentation.

A new iridoid was isolated from the Tabebuia avellanedae, its anti-myocardial injury activity was determined, and its mechanisms underlying inhibition of inflammation, regulation of oxidative stress and inhibition of apoptosis were explored. The dried inner bark of the Tabebuia avellanedae was extracted with boiling water, separated by liquid-liquid extraction, and purified by silica gel/ODS/Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to obtain avelladoid I (Avd I). The structure of Avd I was identified by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). Cardiomyocyte injury model was established by 1 μg·mL^-1 doxorubicin. After treatment with 1-40 μmol·L^-1 of Avd I, the cell viability was evaluated by methyl thiazole tetrazolium (MTT) assay, and the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was measured. The inflammatory factor levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) as well as the oxidative stress levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were detected. DCFH-DA staining was employed to observe the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS), AnnexinV-FITC/PI double stainings were performed to detect the apoptosis level, JC-1 single staining was used to measure the mitochondrial membrane potential level, and the Incell-Western assay was conducted to determine the apoptosis-related protein expression levels. The results showed that the cardiomyocyte injury was improved by 1-20 μmol·L^-1 of Avd I, and the IL-6 and IL-1β levels were decreased to near normal cell levels by 1 μmol·L^-1 Avd I. The ROS level was strongly reduced and the SOD level was highly increased by 1 μmol·L^-1 Avd I. In addition, 1 μmol·L^-1 Avd I significantly decreased the apoptosis level, the B-cell lymphoma-2 associated X protein (Bax)/B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) ratio and the cleaved cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase 3 (cleaved caspase 3)/cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase 3 (caspase 3) ratio. Therefore, Avd I could stimulate the cardiomyocyte proliferation, reduce the LDH level and inhibit inflammation levels through regulating the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway.

This research established a simple, rapid and sensitive ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) method to investigate the metabolic profiles of cajanonic acid A (CAA) in rats. After intragastric administration of CAA (30 mg·kg^-1) to rats, the biological samples were detected by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS. Relevant data was collected and processed, the accurate mass and MS² spectra of the metabolites were compared with the parent compound. As a result, a total of 23 metabolites were detected, including 15 in urine, 11 in bile, 11 in feces, and 9 in plasma. The major metabolic pathways related to CAA included dehydrogenation, reduction, hydroxylation, methylation and glucuronide conjugation. This experiment was approved by Animal Ethics Committee of Guizhou Medical University (approval number: 1603137).

In this study, the effective substance group and molecular mechanism of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma-Persicae Semen combination (RRR-PS) in activating blood circulation and dispelling blood stasis were investigated by integrating efficacy experiments, network pharmacology and HPLC. The rat model of blood stasis syndrome was established, and the blood rheology index and coagulation four comprehensive evaluation were carried out. The results showed that compared with the model group, the whole blood viscosity, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and erythrocyte aggregation index of the rats in the RRR-PS group were significantly callback (P < 0.01). Network pharmacology found that RRR-PS combination exerted the effect of activating blood circulation and dispelling blood stasis by acting on calmodulin-1 (CALM1), nitric oxide synthase-2 (NOS2), glucocorticoid receptor (NR3C1) and other targets, regulating platelet activation, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR), vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF) and other signaling pathways, and found key components: sennoside B, (+)-catechin, emodin, physcion, rhein, aloe-emodin, chrysophanol, gallic acid. HPLC was used to explore the dissolution rate of key components. The results showed that the contents of catechin, emodin, chrysophanol and physcion were significantly increased after RRR-PS combination (P < 0.01). In summary, RRR-PS has a significant effect on promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and its mechanism of action is related to promoting angiogenesis, anti-coagulation, anti-thrombosis and anti-inflammation. The efficacy is related to the change of solvent system and the large dissolution of catechin, emodin, chrysophanol and physcion after the RRR-PS combination. The results of the study can further provide a reference for the follow-up study on the active substances and mechanism of the RRR-PS combination. Animal experiments have been approved by the Experimental Animal Committee of Shaanxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (No. SUCMDL20210309002).
