Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Perturbations in airway microbiota composition and disruption of microbe-metabolite interactions have been observed in respiratory infectious diseases (RIDs). The Yinhuang (YH) buccal tablet, as an ancient Chinese medicinal formula, has been traditionally employed for the management of upper RIDs. However, there is a lack of evidence for the effects of YH buccal tablets on upper respiratory tract microbiota and circulating metabolites. AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of this study was to analyze the changes in respiratory microbiota composition and circulating metabolite profile after YH buccal tablets administration. MATERIALS AND METHODS Throat swab samples and serum samples were collected from 60 healthy subjects for high-throughput 16S ribosomal RNA gene (16S rRNA) sequencing and non-targeted Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) analysis. RESULTS Airway microbial composition changed significantly after YH administration. The abundance of Actinomyces and Prevotella_7 increased, while the abundance of potentially pathogenic Pseudomonas and Corynebacterium decreased. A total of 168 significant HMDB taxonomic metabolites were identified in serum samples, of which lipid metabolites accounted for the largest proportion. Correlation analysis showed that circulatory metabolites were significantly correlated with changes in airway microbiota composition. CONCLUSIONS YH buccal tablets can inhibit opportunistic pathogens, increase beneficial microorganisms in the upper respiratory tract, and regulate the body's metabolic pathways. These findings provide insights into the mechanism of action of YH buccal tablets in the treatment and prevention of respiratory diseases.

Abstract
Defect detection is a critical issue for the quality control of dropping pills, which is a special dosage form of traditional Chinese Medicine. Machine vision is a non-destructing testing technology and cost-effective with high accuracy that can be used to predict the detects of both interior and exterior of the sample by employing the camera. In this research, a machine vision system for inspecting quality of the Xuesaitong dropping pills (XDPs) that include non-spherical, abnormal sizes and colors was developed to evaluate the appearance quality of XDPs rapidly and accurately. Firstly, 270 images of XDPs containing qualified and three different types of defects were collected. Subsequently, the processing of the XDPs images were carried out. Finally, Three defecting categories classification models were developed and compared based on contour and color features. The experimental results showed that the Random Forest outperformed all the explored models and the classification accuracy for non-spherical, abnormal sizes and colors reached 98.52%, 100.00% and 100.00%, respectively. In summary, the method established in this research is scientific, reliable, fast and accurate, which has great application potential and can provide technical support for the automatic defect detection of dropping pills.

Abstract
A valid and reliable method based on ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry using electrospray ionization was established to identify chemical constituents in the ethanol extract of pigeon pea leaves. A total of 58 compounds were detected both in positive and negative modes. Among them, 42 compounds, including 16 flavones, 1 flavonol, 5 flavanones, 9 isoflavones, 1 coumarin, 1 lactone, 6 stilbenes, 2 chalcones, and 1 other compound, were unambiguously identified or tentatively assigned in view of the retention time, the molecular formula, as well as the fragmentation patterns. Moreover, eight sets of isomers were differentiated by the ion trap mass spectrometry based on the fragment ion differences or the abundance differences of the same fragment ions. The energy-resolved mass spectrometry in light of the relative abundance of characteristic fragment ions was adopted in the study.

Anal Chim Acta 2021; 1146:155-165. [PMID: 33461711 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2020.11.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2020] [Revised: 11/10/2020] [Accepted: 11/13/2020] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
A solid-phase microextraction method is introduced to overcome limitations of classical phytochemical pattern of identifying bioactive compounds, including tedious and time-consuming separation and purification step and consumption of large amounts of organic solvents, which was non-environmentally- friendly. In this proposed method for solid-phase microextraction, polyvinylidene fluoride fibers@polydopamine@polyethyleneimine@receptor as a solid part of the extractors were pushed into sample solution of medicinal plants, and the procedure was followed by stirring and easily dissociation of receptor binding ligands in organic solvent through pulling out of the functionalized fibers. Xanthine oxidase was chosen as the model receptor, while isoacteoside was selected as the model inhibitor. Several effecting parameters were optimized by experimental design, including temperature, ion strength and pH. Nine bioactive components were obtained from extract of Plantago depressa by using the established solid-phase micro-extraction method. The limit of detection and limit of quantification of the nine components ranged from 0.0008 to 0.03 mg mL-1 and from 0.001 to 0.016 mg mL-1, respectively. The RSD values of intra-day and inter-day precisions ranged from 0.24% to 2.19% and 0.62%-2.84%, respectively. The average recoveries of the nine components were from 95.06 to 104.03% with relative standard deviation (RSD) values from 1.02 to 2.90% for Plantago depressa. The RSD values of stability of the nine components ranged from 1.36% to 2.74%, which satisfied the requirements of an analytical method. In addition, surface plasmon resonance biosensor was utilized to corroborate the binding affinity between these compounds and receptor. The avidity values of these ligands corresponded well with their IC50 values. The results confirmed that polydopamine and polyethyleneimine hybrid modified polyvinylidene fluoride fibers based solid-phase microextraction method was successfully utilized for locating bioactive compounds of medicinal plants.

Abstract
Ilex rotunda, in which triterpenoids and phenylpropanoids are major bioactive constituents, has been widely used in traditional Chinese medicines. In this study, a validated UPLC/Q-TOF-MS/MS method was developed to simultaneously identify and quantify the triterpenoids and phenylpropanoids in the stem bark, fruit, leaves, roots and stem xylem of this herbal medicine. A total of seventy triterpenoids and twelve phenylpropanoids were identified with the assistance of the modified mass defect filter and key product ion filter data processing strategies, and forty-eight of them were confirmed by reference substances. Meanwhile, the contents of twelve triterpenoids and three phenylpropanoids in the five plant parts were determined with good linearity (R2 ≥ 0.9993), precision (RSD ≤ 2.04%), repeatability (RSD ≤ 1.99%), stability (RSD ≤ 1.88%) and recovery (96.65-103.17% and RSD ≤ 3.54%). Furthermore, PCA and OPLS-DA methods were employed to visualize the relationships and discrimination of the forty-two stem bark samples from two origins based on the contents of fifteen analytes. Our findings may provide early scientific evidence for quality control and for elucidating the therapeutic principle of Ilex rotunda.

Abstract
With increasingly improved separation of complex samples and detection of unknown material capabilities, liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has been widely used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) research. This article describes the principles of liquid chromatography (LC) and mass spectrometry (MS) and their advantages and disadvantages in qualitative and quantitative analysis of TCM. We retrieved research literatures about the application of LC-MS in TCM published during the past five years at home and abroad. To better guide the analysis of TCM, this review mainly focuses on the applications category of LC-MS, how often different kinds of LC-MS are used, and the qualitative and quantitative ability of various LC-MS in the study of TCM.
