ObjectiveTo conduct a systematic comparative study on wild and cultivated Codonopsis pilosula(CP) from three aspects, including characters, microscopy, and contents of primary and secondary metabolites. MethodWild and cultivated CP samples were collected, their characters were measured using vernier caliper, tape measure and balance, the paraffin sections were stained with safranin-fixed green dyeing, and their microstructure were observed under the optical microscope. The content of alcohol-soluble extracts in wild and cultivated CP was determined according to the method for determination of extract under CP in the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia, the starch content was determined by anthrone colorimetry, the content of total polysaccharides was determined by kit method, Fiber analyzer was used to determine the content of fiber components, and ultra performance liquid chromatography(UPLC) was used to determine the content of monosaccharides, disaccharides and some secondary metabolites. Multivariate statistical analysis methods such as principal component analysis(PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) were employed to screen key differential components between wild and cultivated CP on the basis of variable importance in the projection(VIP) value>1 and P<0.05. ResultIn terms of morphological characteristics, the "lion's head-like" shape, longitudinal wrinkles, and circumferential wrinkles below the root cap of wild CP were more pronounced in wild CP compared to the cultivated ones. Regarding transverse sectional features, wild CP had more fissures on the outer side of the cortex and a larger duramen. Under microscopic examination, wild CP had more stone cells, a larger proportion of xylem, and the presence of cork cells arranged in rings in the xylem, while cultivated CP has a larger proportion of phloem, smaller vessel diameters, and a more loosely arranged vascular system. In terms of primary metabolites, the contents of 45% ethanol-soluble extract and total polysaccharides in cultivated CP were significantly higher than those in the wild ones(P<0.05), the contents of lignin, hemicellulose, cellulose, fructose and glucose in wild CP were significantly higher than those in the cultivated ones(P<0.05), while sucrose content in the cultivated CP was significantly higher than that in the wild ones(P<0.05). Concerning secondary metabolites, the contents of tryptophan and tangshenoside Ⅰ in cultivated CP were significantly higher than those in the wild ones(P<0.05), whereas the contents of lobetyolinin, lobetyol and atractylenolide Ⅲ in wild CP were significantly higher than those in the cultivated ones(P<0.05). ConclusionThere are significant differences between wild and cultivated CP in terms of morphological characteristics, microscopic features and chemical composition. Glucose, fructose, sucrose, tangshenoside Ⅰ, tryptophan and cellulose components are the key differential components between wild and cultivated CP. Wild CP contains more polyacetylenes and fructose, whereas cultivated CP has higher levels of tangshenoside Ⅰ and sucrose, with noticeably lower cellulose content. These distinctions may be related to their growth conditions, growth years and cultivation techniques. Based on the results of this study, it is recommended to increase polyacetylenes and the content ratio of fructose to sucrose as an indicators to characterize different production methods of CP, in order to guide the high-quality production of CP.

ObjectiveTo compare wild and cultivated Paeoniae Radix Rubra(PRR) in three aspects, including character, microscope, determination of primary and secondary metabolites. MethodSeventeen batches of wild and nine batches of cultivated PRR were collected,their character data were measured by vernier caliper and scales, and their paraffin sections were made by safranin-fixed green dyeing for the observation of microscopic features. The content of ethanol-soluble extracts and total tannin from wild and cultivated PRR was determined by the method of general principle 2201 and 2202 in the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia, the content of polysaccharides was determined by phenol-sulfuric acid method. Anthrone colorimetry was used to determine the content of starch, and Van Soest method of washing fiber was used to determine the content of fiber. The contents of fructose, glucose and sucrose in wild and cultivated PRR were determined by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography evaporative light scattering detection(UPLC-ELSD), and the secondary metabolites(gallic acid, methyl gallate, catechin, oxypaeoniflorin, albiflorin, paeoniflorin, ellagic acid, 1,3,4,6-tetragalloylglucose, galloylpaeoniflorin, 1,2,3,4,6-O-pentagalloylglucose, naringenin, benzoylpaeoniflorin and benzoylalbiflorin) were determined by UPLC. Principal component analysis(PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) were used to analyze the data of wild and cultivated PRR, the contribution of different factors to the difference was determined according to the variable importance in the projection(VIP) value>1 and P<0.05. ResultIn term of characters, wild PRR showed the traditional characteristic of Zaopi Fencha, its outer skin was loose and easy to fall off, its surface had longitudinal furrow and wrinkle, but the outer skin of cultivated PRR was not easy to fall off, and its surface was relatively smooth. The radial texture of xylem of wild PRR cross-section was more obvious, showing radial striations, vacuoles and more cracks, while the radial texture of xylem of cultivated PRR cross-section was not obvious, dense and some had cracks. Microscopically, the number of radial vessels arranged in the xylem of wild PRR was more than that of cultivated PRR, the number of calcium oxalate clusters in the phloem and xylem of wild PRR was more than that of cultivated PRR, while the number of starch grains was significantly higher in cultivated PRR. In terms of the content of primary chemical constituents, the contents of polysaccharides and starch of cultivated PRR were significantly higher than those of wild PRR(P<0.05), while the contents of cellulose, lignin, fructose and glucose of wild PRR were significantly higher than those of cultivated PRR(P<0.05). The results of determination of 13 secondary metabolites showed that the contents of paeoniflorin, methyl gallate, catechin and oxypaeoniflorin in wild PRR were significantly higher than those in cultivated PRR(P<0.05), while the contents of albiflorin, gallic acid, ellagic acid, naringenin, benzoylpaeoniflorin and benzoylalbiflorin were significantly lower than those of cultivated PRR(P<0.05). A total of 10 variables contributing to the differentiation between wild and cultivated PRR were screened, including albiflorin, cellulose, benzoylpaeoniflorin, oxypaeoniflorin, naringenin, ellagic acid, starch, lignin, paeoniflorin and total tannins. ConclusionThere are significant differences between wild and cultivated PRR in characters, microscopic characteristics, contents of primary and secondary metabolites. It is suggested that the content ratio of paeoniflorin and albiflorin, the contents of oxypaeoniflorin and cellulose can be used as indicators to characterize production methods of PRR so as to improve the quality standard of PRR. This study can provide reference for the improvement of quality standard of PRR and the guidance of high quality production of PRR.

The paper is to establish an UPLC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous determination of 19 components in Microctis Folium from different production areas. The 50% methanol was used as extraction solvent. The Agilent ZORBAX SB C18 (150 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.8 μm) column was used; mobile phase was acetonitrile - 0.1% acetic acid with gradient elution, flow rate was 0.3 mL·min-1, colume temperature was 30 ℃, and the injection volume was 2 μL; electrospray ionizaton source was used and detected in negative ion mode. The results showed that the established UPLC-MS/MS method could well separate the 19 components, and the methodological investigation results of 19 components were good. By means of orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), 28 batches of Microctis Folium samples from different production areas can be divided into three categories, Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan are each classified into one category, and 10 signature compounds which affecting the quality differences of different production areas were screened out. The established method is accurate, reliable, sensitive and reproducible. It can provide a basis for the establishment of the quality standard of Microctis Folium, as well as for safety and quality research.

Objective:To analyze the distribution pattern of TCM syndrome elements in elderly patients with sepsis and septic shock, as well as the relationship between TCM syndrome elements, Sepsis Sequential Organ Failure Score (SOFA), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Score Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ), and short-term mortality prognosis.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 58 patients treated in the Emergency Department and ICU of Dongzhimen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine and the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine from January 1, 2021, to May 1, 2022. The patients were divided into a sepsis group of 38 cases and a septic shock group of 20 cases based on disease type. Basic information, TCM syndromes, SOFA score, and APACHE Ⅱ score of the two groups were collected. The survival and death statuses of the two groups within 28 days of admission were separately analyzed. Association rule analysis was used to investigate the distribution pattern of TCM syndromes in patients, and logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the relationship between TCM syndromes, SOFA score, APACHE Ⅱ score, and death prognosis.Results:In the sepsis group, the main TCM syndromes included yin deficiency, lung, phlegm, qi deficiency, blood stasis, heat, and yang deficiency; while in the septic shock group, the main TCM syndromes were yin deficiency, lung, yang deficiency, and qi deficiency. Multifactor logistic regression analysis showed that in the sepsis group, liver syndromes [ OR (95% CI)=0.080 (0.011, 0.578), P=0.012], meridians and collaterals [ OR (95% CI)=0.088 (0.011, 0.718), P=0.024], SOFA score [ OR (95% CI)=0.524 (0.310, 0.886), P=0.016], and APACHE Ⅱ score [ OR (95% CI)=0.426 (0.186, 0.977), P=0.044] were independent influencing factors for patient mortality prognosis. In the septic shock group, phlegm [ OR (95% CI)=0.014 (0.001, 0.267), P=0.005], meridians and collaterals [ OR (95% CI)=0.041 (0.003, 0.618), P=0.021], yang deficiency [ OR (95% CI)=0.028 (0.002, 0.427), P=0.010], SOFA score [ OR (95% CI)=0.543 (0.310, 0.950), P=0.032], and APACHE Ⅱ score [ OR (95% CI)=0.633 (0.408, 0.985), P=0.042] were independent influencing factors for patient mortality prognosis. Conclusions:The sepsis group mainly exhibits a mixture of deficiency and excess, while the septic shock group predominantly shows deficiency. Qi deficiency and yin deficiency are consistent throughout the disease progression. Meridians and collaterals, high SOFA score, and high APACHE Ⅱ score in elderly patients with sepsis and septic shock may indicate a poorer prognosis.
