Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of the current study was to evaluate whether the use of traditional Chinese medicine, Fuzheng Yiqing granule (FZYQG), was associated with a reduced infection risk of COVID-19 in close contacts. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This was a prospective cohort study across 203 quarantine centres for close contacts and secondary contacts of COVID-19 patients in Yangzhou city. FZYQG group was defined as quarantined individuals who voluntarily took FZYQG; control group did not take FZYQG. The primary outcome was the coronavirus test positive rate during quarantine period. Logistic regression with propensity score inverse probability weighting was used for adjusted analysis to evaluate independent association between FZYQG and test positive rate. RESULTS From July 13, 2021 to September 30, 2021, 3438 quarantined individuals took FZYQG and 2248 refused to take the granule. Test positive rate was significantly lower among quarantined individuals who took FZYQG (0.29% vs. 1.73%, risk ratio 0.17, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.08-0.34, p < 0.001). On logistic regression, odds for test positive were decreased in FZYQG group (odds ratio: 0.16, 95% CI: 0.08-0.32, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Close and secondary contacts of COVID-19 patients who received FZYQG had a lower test positive rate than control individuals in real-world experience. TRIAL REGISTRATION This study has been registered on Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2100049590) on August 5, 2021.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke (IS), which is the third foremost cause of disability and death worldwide, has inflammation and cell death as its main pathological features. IS can lead to neuronal cell death and release factors such as damage-related molecular patterns, stimulating the immune system to release inflammatory mediators, thereby resulting in inflammation and exacerbating brain damage. Currently, there are a limited number of treatment methods for IS, which is a fact necessitating the discovery of new treatment targets. For this review, current research on inflammation and cell death in ischemic stroke was summarized. The complex roles and pathways of the principal immune cells (microglia, astrocyte, neutrophils, T lymphocytes, and monocytes/macrophage) in the immune system after IS in inflammation are discussed. The mechanisms of immune cell interactions and the cytokines involved in these interactions are summarized. Moreover, the cell death mechanisms (pyroptosis, apoptosis, necroptosis, PANoptosis, and ferroptosis) and pathways after IS are explored. Finally, a summary is provided of the mechanism of action of natural pharmacological active ingredients in the treatment of IS. Despite significant recent progress in research on IS, there remain many challenges that need to be overcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although results from in vitro studies and small randomized controlled trials have shown positive effects of Dazhu hongjingtian injection (DZHJTI) on acute ischemic stroke (AIS), their generalizability to routine clinical practice remains to be established. OBJECTIVE The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of DZHJTI treatment for AIS with regard to changes in the stroke-related neurological deficit from baseline to outpatient follow-up, mortality, subsequent vascular events, disability, and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome in real-world clinical settings. By monitoring for adverse events or significant changes in vital signs and laboratory parameters, we also aim to assess the safety of DZHJTI. METHODS This prospective, multicenter cohort study plans to enroll 2000 patients with AIS within 14 days of symptom onset from 30 hospitals across China. Eligible patients will be followed up for 6 months after initiating medication treatments. The primary outcome will be the change in the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score from baseline to outpatient follow-up. The secondary outcomes include overall mortality, stroke recurrence, new-onset major vascular events, global disability, and improvement of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome in 6 months. Adverse events or clinically significant changes in vital signs and laboratory parameters, regardless of the severity, will be recorded during the trial to assess the safety of DZHJTI. An augmented inverse propensity weighted estimator will be used to reduce variability and improve accuracy in average treatment effects estimation. RESULTS The clinical trial registration was approved in October 2022, and the recruitment and enrollment of participants started in November 2022. The study's outcomes are expected to be published in 2025 in reputable, peer-reviewed health-related research journals. CONCLUSIONS This real-world cohort study is the first to assess the effectiveness and safety of DZHJTI in treating AIS. It may provide additional clinical evidence, including the duration of response, long-term drug effectiveness, and subgroup efficacy data. The study results will be valuable for clinicians and patients seeking optimal treatment for AIS and could lead to better use of DZHJTI and improved patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of cardiovascular events remains not unusual in patients following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) due to acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Chinese patent medicine (CPM) therapy based on syndrome differentiation in addition to conventional medicine (CM) had been expected to further reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. PURPOSE To assess the effectiveness and safety of CPM based on syndrome differentiation in patients following PCI due to ACS. STUDY DESIGN Nationwide prospective cohort study. METHODS CPM study was conducted in 40 centers in mainland China. Patients following PCI due to ACS entered to syndrome differentiation-based CPM (SDCPM) or CM group according to whether they received CPM or not. The CPM comprised Guanxin Danshen dripping pills, Qishen Yiqi dripping pills, or Danlou tablets, and was used correspondingly with the syndrome differentiation of traditional Chinese medicine. The follow-up time was 36 months. The primary endpoint was composed of cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction and urgent revascularization. The secondary endpoint included rehospitalization due to ACS, heart failure, stroke, other thrombotic events. Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) was used to evaluate quality of life. RESULTS Between February 2012 and December 2018, ascertainment of the primary endpoint was completed in 2,724 patients of follow-up. 1,380 patients were in SDCPM group. At a median follow-up of 541 (interquartile range 513 - 564) days, the primary endpoint occurred in 126 (8.61%) patients in SDCPM group and 167 (11.62%) patients in CM group (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] = 0.70; [95% confidence interval [CI] 0.55 - 0.89]; p = 0.003). The secondary endpoint occurred in 144 (9.84%) patients in SDCPM group and 197 (13.71%) patients in CM group (adjusted HR = 0.66; [95% CI 0.53 - 0.82]; p < 0.001). The SAQ score in SDCPM group was higher than CM group (366.78 ± 70.19 vs 356.43 ± 73.80, p < 0.001). There were no significant differences of adverse events between two groups. CONCLUSION In patients following PCI due to ACS, SDCPM in addition to CM treatment reduced the primary and secondary endpoints, as well as improved the quality of life without adverse events.

Abstract
BackgroundRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease. The core treatment principle of RA is to achieve remission or low disease activity as soon as possible to ensure optimal outcomes. Predicting the first remission time according to the patient’s risk factors is very important for the choice of treatment scheme.ObjectivesWe aimed to verify the prognostic value of inflammatory factors in RA and establish a nomogram based on Human Interleukin-6(IL-6), Galectin-9(Gal-9)and disease activity to predict the first remission time after conventional synthetic DMARDstreatment.Methods184 RA active patients(DAS28-ESR> 3.2, ACR 1987 criteria or EULAR 2010 criteria) were enrolled in the rheumatology department of Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from June 2014 to June 2020.129 patients were assigned to the development cohort and 55 patients were assigned to the validation cohort randomly. Baseline clinical data and plasma were collected. The expressions of Tumour Necrosis Factor α (TNF-α), Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), IL-6 and Gal-9 in plasma of RA patients were detected by ELISA. All patients were treated with csDMARDs and we recorded activity of each follow-up visit until 36 months. Lasso regression and Cox regression analysis were used to screen the 14 variables (including activity indices and cytokines) at baseline, and the prediction model was established to draw the nomogram.ResultsPatient age, CRP, IL-6, Gal-9, HAQ and DAS28-ESR were the significant prognostic factors in the lasso and Cox regression analyses, especially Gal-9. The multivariate analysis revealed that IL-6≤ 9.04 pg/ml(HR =0.54, 95% CI:0.31–0.95), Gal-9≤ 4490 pg/ml(HR =0.43, 95% CI:0.21–0.89) were independent protective factors (Table 1). Above-mentioned six factors were included in our model as predictors (Figure 1). The resulting model containing six factors had good discrimination ability in both the development cohort (C-index, 0.729) and the validation cohort (C-index, 0.710). Time-dependent ROC curve (Figure 2), calibration analysis (Figure 3) and decision curve analysis (DCA) show that the nomogram has significant discriminant power, stability and clinical practicability in predicting the first remission time.ConclusionWe constructed and validated a nomogram with baseline activity indices and cytokines that can predict first remission time in RA patients after csDMARDs treatment. Using this simple-to-use model with plasma Gal-9 at baseline, the remission rate can be determined for an individual patient and could be useful for the early identification of high-risk patients.References[1]SUN J, SUI Y, WANG Y, et al.

Abstract
BackgroundEULAR guideline in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) recommended the primary failure of the first-line conventional synthetic modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) patients switching to tumor necrosis factor alpha inhibitors (TNFi) [1]. Nevertheless, approximately 30-40% csDMARDs-IR patients also experience inefficacy of TNFi [2]. There is still no index to predict whether TNFi would be responded or not. Moreover, only few studies had focused on the relationship between TNFi nonresponse and other cell programmed deaths except apoptosis.ObjectivesTo predict the possibility of TNFi response prior to prescript in RA patients with the biomarkers of non-apoptotic programmed cell death in synovial cells.MethodsThe datasets of 22 TNFi treated RA synovial samples were enrolled from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database (GSE140036 and GSE15602). And the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and modules related to TNFi treatment through weight gene correlation network analysis (WGCNA) were identified with the R packages “limma” and “WGCNA”. Then the enrichment analysis among the shared genes was performed through the R.4.1.2, Metascape website, and WebGestalt website. Following with the confirmation of the non-apoptotic programmed cell death (NAPCD) genes in the shared genes with Student’s T-Test. Furthermore, the TNFi treatment cohort was clustered based on the hub genes, making the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Moreover, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) model was constructed to identify the predictive genes.Results2624 DEGs were identified significantly, including 161 upregulated genes and 2463 downregulated genes. One module with TNFi treatment was constructed in WGCNA, significant in both response and nonresponse. Then the gene signatures for TNFi nonresponse were collected from overlaps 2260 genes in above. And we found 38 NAPCD genes might play role in TNFi nonresponse, but reserved 33 genes which statistically significant with T-Test. 22 TNFi treated synovial samples in GEO database could be classified into response or nonresponse subgroups. The ROC curve showed that the AUC for 32 genes in these samples ranged from 0.7 to 0.9, expected for CD46. At last, the LASSO model indicated that CASP5, CAPN10, ITGB4, NLRP2, and SLC2A8 could predict the TNFi nonresponse, as the risk score = CASP5 × 0.028 + CAPN10 × 0.064 + ITGB4× 0.080+ NLRP2 × 0.317+ SLC2A8 × 0.090 (Figure 1).Figure 1.Predictive model of TNFi nonresponse based on NAPCD genes.

Abstract
Background: Previous research suggested that Chinese Medicine (CM) Formula Huashibaidu granule might shorten the disease course in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. This research aimed to investigate the early treatment effect of Huashibaidu granule in well-managed patients with mild COVID-19. Methods: An unblinded cluster-randomized clinical trial was conducted at the Dongxihu FangCang hospital. Two cabins were randomly allocated to a CM or control group, with 204 mild COVID-19 participants in each cabin. All participants received conventional treatment over a 7 day period, while the ones in CM group were additionally given Huashibaidu granule 10 g twice daily. Participants were followed up to their clinical endpoint. The primary outcome was worsening symptoms before the clinical endpoint. The secondary outcomes were cure and discharge before the clinical endpoint and alleviation of composite symptoms after the 7 days of treatment. Results: All 408 participants were followed up to their clinical endpoint and included in statistical analysis. Baseline characteristics were comparable between the two groups (P > 0.05). The number of worsening patients in the CM group was 5 (2.5%), and that in the control group was 16 (7.8%) with a significant difference between groups (P = 0.014). Eight foreseeable mild adverse events occurred without statistical difference between groups (P = 0.151). Conclusion: Seven days of early treatment with Huashibaidu granule reduced the likelihood of worsening symptoms in patients with mild COVID-19. Our study supports Huashibaidu granule as an active option for early treatment of mild COVID-19 in similar well-managed medical environments.

Abstract
Objective: Few studies have been concerned with the combined influences of the presence of multiple risk factors on follow-up outcomes in AMI patients. Our study aimed to identify risk factor patterns that may be associated with 1-year survival in male patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods: Data were from the China STEMI Care Project Phase 2 (CSCAP-2) collected between 2015 and 2018. A total of 15,675 male STEMI patients were enrolled in this study. Risk factor patterns were characterized using latent class analysis (LCA) according to seven risk factors. Associations between risk factor patterns and follow-up outcomes, including the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) and all-cause death, were investigated by Cox proportional hazard regression analysis. Results: We obtained four risk factor patterns as "young and middle-aged with low levels of multimorbidity," "middle-aged with overweight," "middle-aged and elderly with normal weight," and "elderly with high multimorbidity." Four patterns had significant differences in event-free survival (P < 0.001). As compared with the patients of "young and middle-aged with low levels of multimorbidity" pattern, the risk of incidence of MACCE and all-cause death were increased in patients of "middle-aged with overweight" pattern (All-cause death: HR = 1.70, 95% CI:1.29~2.23; MACCE: HR = 1.49, 95% CI:1.29~1.72), "middle-aged and elderly with normal weight" pattern (All-cause death: HR = 3.04, 95% CI: 2.33~3.98; MACCE: HR = 1.82, 95% CI: 1.56~2.12), and "elderly with high multimorbidity" pattern (All-cause death: HR = 5.78, 95% CI: 4.49~7.42; MACCE: HR = 2.67, 95% CI: 2.31~3.10). Conclusions: By adopting a Latent Class Analysis Approach, STEMI patients can be characterized into four risk factor patterns with significantly different prognosis. The data is useful for the improvement of community health management in each specific subgroup of patients, which indicates a particular risk factor pattern.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION We aimed to investigate the relationship between glycemic status and coronary artery disease (CAD) extent and severity in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients, and further examine whether diabetes patients could benefit from glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) below the recommended level. MATERIALS AND METHODS Consecutive STEMI patients admitted in 2015-2017 across 244 hospitals were included in the China STEMI Care Project-2. We carried out a cross-sectional study comprising 8,370 participants with a record of HbA1c testing after admission. CAD extent and severity were assessed by admission heart rate, Killip classification and the number of stenosed vessels based on the coronary angiogram. RESULTS Diabetes patients showed a greater risk for higher Killip class, admission tachycardia (admission heart rate ≥100 b.p.m.) and multivessel CAD (presence of left main and/or triple vessel disease). Likewise, HbA1c level was significantly associated with CAD extent and severity. While dividing diabetes patients according to general HbA1c targets (HbA1c ≤6.5, 6.5-7.0 and ≥7.0%), diabetes patients with HbA1c ≤6.5% showed a 1.30-fold higher risk for multivessel CAD (adjusted odds ratio 1.30, 95% confidence interval 1.05-1.62). In stratified analysis, the association was even stronger in patients with hypertension (adjusted odds ratio 1.41, 95% confidence interval 1.08-1.86) or hyperlipidemia (adjusted odds ratio 1.57, 95% confidence interval 1.17-2.12). CONCLUSIONS HbA1c level is independently correlated with CAD extent and severity in STEMI patients. HbA1c below generally recommended levels might still increase the risk of CAD progression, especially for diabetes patients with hypertension or hyperlipidemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accumulating evidence suggests a relationship between coronary artery disease (CAD) and sleep problems. Our study is aimed to investigate the shared genetic loci underlying this phenotypic association. METHODS Combining summary statistics from different genome-wide association studies, we investigated overlap in single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with CAD and sleep traits (insomnia symptoms, sleep duration, and chronotype) using conditional/conjunctional false discovery rate (condFDR/conjFDR) approach. Relevant variants are further evaluated for differential expression analysis, expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) functionality, and gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis. RESULTS We observed substantial genetic enrichment in CAD condition on associations with sleep traits, which indicating polygenic overlap. Using conjFDR analysis, 26 loci jointly influencing CAD and sleep traits were identified. One locus was shared between CAD and sleep duration and represented the strongest shared signal detected (closest gene, MSL2; chromosome 3q22.3; conjFDR = 1.77 × 10-4). A consistent direction of allelic effect was observed between CAD and insomnia symptoms, while bi-directional effects were recognized between CAD, sleep duration, and chronotype. Replicable eQTL functionality was further identified for two loci: rs28398825 for FCHO1 in the frontal cortex and blood tissue, and rs8072451 for LRRC37A and its duplicate LRRC37A2 in several brain regions and blood tissue. GO analysis of the loci shared between CAD and sleep traits implicated cellular component related to synapse. CONCLUSIONS Our findings provide new insight into the relationship between CAD and sleep traits. The mechanisms underlying these associations warrant further investigation.

Abstract
Background Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified more than 150 genetic loci that demonstrate robust association with coronary artery disease (CAD). In contrast to the success of GWAS, the translation from statistical signals to biological mechanism and exploration of causal genes for drug development remain difficult, owing to the complexity of gene regulatory and linkage disequilibrium patterns. We aim to prioritize the plausible causal genes for CAD at a genome-wide level. Methods We integrated the latest GWAS summary statistics with other omics data from different layers and utilized eight different computational methods to predict CAD potential causal genes. The prioritized candidate genes were further characterized by pathway enrichment analysis, tissue-specific expression analysis, and pathway crosstalk analysis. Results Our analysis identified 55 high-confidence causal genes for CAD, among which 15 genes (LPL, COL4A2, PLG, CDKN2B, COL4A1, FES, FLT1, FN1, IL6R, LPA, PCSK9, PSRC1, SMAD3, SWAP70, and VAMP8) ranked the highest priority because of consistent evidence from different data-driven approaches. GO analysis showed that these plausible causal genes were enriched in lipid metabolic and extracellular regions. Tissue-specific enrichment analysis revealed that these genes were significantly overexpressed in adipose and liver tissues. Further, KEGG and crosstalk analysis also revealed several key pathways involved in the pathogenesis of CAD. Conclusion Our study delineated the landscape of CAD potential causal genes and highlighted several biological processes involved in CAD pathogenesis. Further studies and experimental validations of these genes may shed light on mechanistic insights into CAD development and provide potential drug targets for future therapeutics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes (T2DM), hypertension and kidney dysfunction are known risk factors for cardiovascular disease, but their combined effect on carotid plaque remains uncertain. This study aims to assess the associations between T2DM, hypertension, kidney dysfunction and carotid plaque, and further explore the combined effect of three diseases. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional analysis among 3,815 community-dwelling adults in a Chinese atherosclerosis cohort. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), hypertension and T2DM were evaluated as risk factors for carotid plaque. The presence, number and total area of carotid plaques were also assessed. Using logistic model, mutinomial logistic model and generalized linear regression model, the relationship between risk factors and carotid plaque was examined. RESULTS T2DM, hypertension, decreased GFR, and, inversely, eGFR, were independently associated with the presence, number and total area of carotid plaque. Stratified analysis by T2DM and hypertension showed T2DM attenuated the association between eGFR change and carotid plaque. There was a cumulative relationship between three risk factors and carotid plaque burden. The OR for the number of plaques was 1.0 (reference), 1.55 to 2.03, 1.94 to 3.14, and 3.69 (all P<0.05), respectively, for individuals with none, one, two, and three risk factors. Likewise, combining three risk factors was associated with greater increase in total plaque area (β, 20.63; 95% CI, 14.04-27.22). CONCLUSION The coexistence of decreased GFR, diabetes and hypertension is associated with increased risk of carotid plaque, and these comorbidities may contribute additively to the development of plaque.

Abstract
Experiments were performed to test the hypothesis that tyrosine kinase activity contributes to renal arteriolar contractile responses to angiotensin (Ang) II. Rats were subjected to short-term enalaprilat treatment to decrease endogenous Ang II formation before tissue was harvested for experiments with the in vitro blood-perfused juxtamedullary nephron technique. Acute surgical papillectomy was used to avoid the indirect afferent arteriolar effect of Ang II that arises through increased tubuloglomerular feedback sensitivity. Arteriolar lumen diameter responses to 1 and 10 nmol/L Ang II were monitored by videomicroscopic methods before and during treatment with various tyrphostin compounds: 100 micromol/L AG18 (broad-spectrum tyrosine kinase inhibitor), 100 nmol/L AG1478 (selective epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor), or 100 micromol/L AG9 (inactive analog). Baseline afferent arteriolar lumen diameter averaged 23.5+/-1.2 micrometer and was not influenced by any tyrphostin. Ang II (10 nmol/L) decreased afferent diameter by 11.1+/-1.0 micrometer under untreated conditions, a response that was not altered by AG9 but significantly blunted by AG18 (34+/-9% inhibition) or AG1478 (52+/-8% inhibition). AG18 did not suppress afferent arteriolar contractile responses to membrane depolarization (20 to 55 mmol/L K(+ )bath). Efferent arteriolar baseline diameter averaged 24.1+/-0.8 micrometer and was unaltered by AG18 or AG1478; however, efferent diameter responses to 10 nmol/L Ang II were diminished 52+/-10% by AG18 and 51+/-13% by AG1478. These observations indicate that Ang II signaling in renal afferent and efferent arteriolar vascular smooth muscle is either mediated or modulated by tyrosine kinase activity, including that of the epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase.

Abstract
We examined the effect of Eucommia ulmoides OLIVER leaf on rat skeletal muscles together with spontaneous running-training in terms of the isozyme profile and specific activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH; EC 1.1.1.27) and 3-hydroxyacetyl-CoA dehydrogenase (HAD; EC 1.1.1.35). On the twenty-ninth day of the experimental period, a mandatory endurance running exercise (treadmill, 7 degrees grade) was conducted. Twenty-four hours later, the rats were sacrificed and the skeletal muscles and other organs were dissected. Due to the training, the HAD specific activity in the skeletal muscles had increased and a more oxidative metabolism had developed, which was further enhanced by the administration of the leaf. In soleus (SOL) muscle in the Eucommia leaf treated running-training group (ET), the LDH specific activity in the skeletal muscle was significantly higher than in the sedentary control group (SC). The isozyme profile of the group ET was significantly different when compared with the group SC. The changes in the LDH isozyme profile were larger in the SOL than that in extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle. The results show that mechanical training and the use of the leaf cooperatively increase the ability to avoid lactate accumulation in skeletal muscle. This effect is supported by the group where 67% of rats accomplished the endurance running exercise. Theses results suggest that the administration of Eucommia ulmoides OLIVER leaf along with light intensity training enhances the ability of a muscle to resist fatigue.

Abstract
The speed of ultrasound (SOS) in right middle tibia and bone mineral density (BMD) of left radius at the distal one-third were measured by ultrasonic measurement and single photoabsorptionmetry in 260 healthy individuals simultaneously. SOS of tibia was positively correlated with BMD of radius (r = 0.64). The peak bone mass of both measurements was at 33 to 36 years of age. Height was positively correlated with the SOS of tibia, while weight was positively correlated with SOS of female tibia, period of menopause negatively correlated with female's SOS of tibia. The concordance of SOS of tibia and BMD of radius in diagnosis of osteoporosis was 36.8%. The results suggest that ultrasonic measurement of tibia is an effective method of bone mass measurement.

Abstract
The flower petals of Carthamus tinctorius L. (Compositae) provide one of the most important drugs in traditional Chinese medicine[1] used for the treatment of gynecological diseases, heart diseases and inflammation[2]. Carthamin, safflor yellows A and B, safflomin A, and C, isocarthamin, isocarthamidin, hydroxysafflor yellow A, and tinctormine have been reported from these petals, as well as several new flavonoids and phenolic compounds[3]. A continuation of these studies has led to the isolation of four compounds including a new flavonoid glucoside. The dried petals of C. tinctorius, cultivated in Sichuan, China, were extracted with 95% ethanol, and the extract was partitioned between H2O and organic solvents (petroleum ether and EtOAc). The water fraction was subjected to Diaion D101 and Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography with elution by a gradient of EtOH in water to yield compounds 1-4. Compound I is 6-hydroxykaempferol 3-O-glucoside, compound II is a new compound named 6-hydroxykaempferol 7-O-glucoside, compound 3 is kaempferol 3-O-rutinoside and compound 4 is quercetin 3-O-glucoside.
