Grifola frondosapolysaccharides (GFPs) from different regions in China were characterized and compared using HPSEC-MALLS-RID and saccharide mapping based on HPAEC-PAD analysis for achieving and improving its quality control. The results showed that HPSEC chromatograms and molecular weight distributions of GFPs were similar. The average contents of each polysaccharide fraction (Peaks 1, 2, and 3) showed that Peak 3 was the main component and much higher than the other two polysaccharide fractions, which also contained protein. The result of saccharide mapping showed thatα-1,4-glycosidic,β-1,4-glycosidic and fewβ-1,3-glycosidic linkages were existed in GFPs. The similarity result showed that HPAEC-PAD fingerprints of the oligosaccharide fragments after hydrolysis by endoglycosidase were certainly different, especiallyα-amylase with a mean similar index of only 0.781 ± 0.207. The result of hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) showed that different batches of GFPs from China can be divided into different clusters. Furthermore, immune-enhancing activity based on RAW 264.7 cells showed significant differences among different GFPs. Based on grey relational analysis (GRA), the fractions of Peak 3 were regarded as the major contributors to its immuno-enhancing activity in GFPs. Overall, the implications from these results were found to be stable, comprehensive, and valid for improving the quality control of GFPs.Keywords:Grifola frondosapolysaccharides;saccharide mapping;HPSEC-MALLS-RID;HPAEC-PAD;immunomodulatory

Selective flocculation is an efficient separation method for processing fine coal. In this work, one type of hydrophobically modified polyacrylamide, poly(AM-NaAA-C 16 DMAAC) (HMPAM), was synthesized and used as flocculants of coal. The adsorption and interaction of HMPAM on model coal surface under the influence of KCl concentration were compared with a commercial polyacrylamide (PAM) using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D), multi-angle laser light scattering (MALLS) and atomic force microscope (AFM). The QCM-D results showed that the adsorption amounts of both PAM and HMPAM on model coal surface increased with increasing KCl concentration, and the amount of HMPAM was much higher than that of PAM in 100 mM KCl solution. This result could be due to the fact that the high salinity (e.g., 100 mM KCl) led to the compressed conformation of the polymers and significantly compressed electric double layer repulsion. The conformational changes were determined using MALLS. The AFM force measurement results showed that the adhesion between the polymers and model coal surface increased with increasing the KCl concentrations due to the compressed electric double layer, and the average adhesion of PAM was about one order of magnitude smaller than that of HMPAM. Such difference was mainly ascribed to the hydrophobic attraction between the hydrophobic chain of HMPAM and model coal surface. Meanwhile, the attractive hydrophobic interaction between the hydrophobic chains induced the formation of multiple layers of HMPAM, which was in consistence with the QCM-D results. The fundamental insights into the interaction mechanisms of HMPAM/PAM on model coal surface will benefit the rational development of effective polymer additives for fine coal preparation.

The samples of sodium salt of methacrylic acid/acrylic acid-2-isooctyl ester/2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid terpolymer (SSMAA) were synthesized by free radical solution polymerization. The absolute weight-average molar mass ( M w ) and polydispersity ( M w / M n ) of the polymers were successfully determined using aqueous-based gel permeation chromatography coupled with multiangle laser light scattering. The results show that mixed solutions of highly concentrated buffered salt (NaNO 3 or NaCl and NaH 2 PO 4 ) and organic solvent modifier (methanol) are needed to eliminate the undesirable interactions between polymer and polymer, and between polymer and stationary phase. Dynamic light scattering was first used to investigate the aggregation behavior of SSMAA in a variety of potential mobile phase compositions and screen the optimum compositions. The M w and M w / M n values of the three samples prepared with different amount of initiator are 13500, 5820, and 2490 g/mol and 1.52, 1.45, and 1.47, respectively.

Four polysaccharide fractions, LRP-1, LRP-2, LRP-3 and LRP-4 were extracted stepwise from Lignosus rhinocerotis sclerotia with distilled water at 25, 95, 120 °C and 1.0 M NaOH solution at 4 °C. Their structure, molecular size and chain conformation were clarified using SEC-MALLS-RI, GC, FT-IR and UV–vis. Furthermore, their immunomodulatory activities were evaluated by the model of cyclophosphamide (Cy)-induced immunosuppression. The LRP-1 and LRP-2 were polysaccharide-protein complexes (46–68% β- d -glucan and 27–48% protein), while LRP-3 and LRP-4 were absolutely composed of β- d -glucose. The LRP-4 with low polydispersity had much higher molecular weight ( M w , 5.86 × 10 6 g/mol) and intrinsic viscosity ([ η ], 202.6 ml/g) than other LRP fractions. Based on M w , radius of gyration ( z 1/2 ) and [ η ] data with the exponent β of z 1/2 –M w and its U-shaped curve, all four LRP fractions were highly branched macromolecules and LRP-3 showed a more compact sphere-like conformation than LRP-2 in aqueous solution. Additionally, all four LRP fractions exhibited protective effects against Cy-induced immunosuppression in mice by improving immune organs as well as stimulating the release of major cytokines TNF-α and INF-γ. This work provides a theoretical basis for the application of polysaccharides and their protein complexes from Lignosus rhinocerotis sclerotia in food- or drug-based therapies.

Polygonum multiflorumThunb. (PM) and derived products are broadly utilized in Chinese traditional medicine. According to our previous research, PM mostly contains polysaccharides, which display a wide range of biological activities. Two water-soluble polysaccharides (PMPs-1 and PMPs-2) were obtained from PM by DEAE-Cellulose and Sephadex G-100 column chromatography. Colorimetry, HPGPC-MALLS-RID, HPLC-PDA, methylation, FT-IR, NMR, and SEM were used to characterize these polysaccharides. PMPs-1 and PMPs-2 had average molecular weights of 255.5 and 55.7 kDa, respectively. PMPs-1 consisted of Man, Glc, Gal, and Ara at 0.9:78.6:1.0:1.6 and was a glucan with → 4)-Glcp-(1 → as a backbone. Meanwhile, PMPs-2, an acidic polysaccharide, comprised Rha, GalA, Glc, Gal, and Ara at 3.2:20.3:2.7:1.0:8.3. PMPs-1 and PMPs-2 significantly improved the proliferation of RAW 264.7 cells and induced NO, TNF-α, and IL-6 release. This study reveals that these two polysaccharides can be explored as novel immunomodulators and provide a basis for further development of PM in food and pharmaceutical industries.
