To contribute to the development of natural plants in the field of medicine, the study investigates optimization of the best process of extracting polysaccharides of Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn polysaccharide (EIGP) with water as a solvent and the bioactivity of EIGP in vitro. EIGPs were extracted by an ultrasonic-assisted method using water as a solvent; a one-factor experiment was carried out first, and then a response surface experiment was designed according to the four-factor and three-level design by using the Design-Expert software. The polysaccharide extract of Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn (EIG) was eluted with a DEAE column and Sephadex G-75 column to obtain the purity of polysaccharides. The purified polysaccharide was then subjected to preliminary antioxidant and hypoglycemic activities by enzyme inhibition and in vitro free radical scavenging assays. The optimal extraction conditions were ultrasonic power of 240 W, solid–liquid ratio of 1:17 g/mL, time of 31 min, and temperature of 50°C, under which the polysaccharide extraction rate of EIG was 11.50% and the purity was 73.45%. In the bioactivity study of polysaccharides, the results were as follows: in the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity assay, the IC 50 of these polysaccharides and acarbose were measured to be 59.84 and 4.4 × 10 −4 mg/mL, respectively; in the α-amylase inhibitory activity assay, the IC 50 of these polysaccharides and acarbose were measured to be 59.98 and 0.2173 mg/mL; in the DPPH• radical scavenging activity assay, the IC 50 of the polysaccharide and Vitamin C (VitC) were measured to be 43.95 and 0.0126 mg/mL, respectively; in the ABTS• + scavenging assay, the IC 50 of the polysaccharide and VitC were measured to be 0.4188 and 0.004 mg/mL, respectively. In this thesis, the process of extracting polysaccharides from EIG with water as a solvent was investigated and optimized. The bioactivity study experiments showed that EIGPs-1, purified from EIG, have certain antioxidant and hypoglycemic activity.

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a common disorder that may be idiopathic, caused by trauma, or associated with alcohol or glucocorticoid use. The goals of early treatment include delaying or avoiding hip replacement, but there are no effective treatments for early-stage disease. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of treatment with 3D-printed porous titanium alloy scaffold combined with daily intraperitoneal trans-cinnamaldehyde (TCA) in a dog model of ONFH. Four weeks after creation of the ONFH model, MRI examination of the femoral head showed the characteristic “double line sign” of ONFH, verifying the validity of our model. After another 12 weeks, femoral head specimens were harvested and examined by gross inspection; micro-computed tomography; histologic staining (hematoxylin and eosin; Masson); immunohistochemical analysis and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis. Gross inspection of the femoral head in untreated ONFH animals at 16 weeks after model creation showed pale, exfoliating articular cartilage and disordered trabecular bone. Treatment with 3D-printed titanium alloy porous scaffold combined with TCA ameliorated the pathologic ONFH changes and significantly reduced inmature bone tissue as well as imature collagen in the femoral head, as shown by Masson staining. This treatment also increased VEGF, BMP2, β-catenin, b-FGF, and RUNX2 expression and decreased PPARγ expression, compared with untreated ONFH. In conclusion, 3D-printed titanium alloy porous scaffold combined with TCA can effectively improve ONFH, which may be related to local repair. This provides the theoretical basis for a new treatment strategy for ONFH.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most malignant central nervous system tumor, with poor prognosis. Temozolomide (TMZ) has been used as a first–line drug for the treatment of GBM for over a decade, but its treatment benefits are limited by acquired resistance. Polysaccharides from Cibotium barometz (CBPs) are polysaccharides purified from the root of Cibotium barometz (L.) J . Sm., possessing sensitizing activity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti–cancer effect of CBP from different processing methods on U87 cells using a 1 H NMR–based metabolic approach, complemented with qRT–PCR and flow cytometry, to identify potential markers and discover the targets to explore the underlying mechanism. Cibotium barometz is usually processed under sand heating in clinical applications. Polysaccharides from both the processed (PCBP) and raw (RCBP) C. barometz were prepared, and the effect on enhancing the sensitivity to TMZ was investigated in vitro. CBP can significantly increase the toxicity of TMZ to the U87 cell line, promote apoptosis, enhance cell cycle changes, and arrest cells in S phase, and RCBP demonstrated better activity. Multivariate statistical analyses, such as principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal projection to latent structure with discriminant analysis (OPLS–DA), were used to identify metabolic biomarkers, and 12 metabolites in the cell extract samples were clearly identified as altered after RCBP exposure. NMR–based cell metabolomics provided a holistic method for the identification of CBP's apoptosis–enhancing mechanisms and the exploration of its potential applications in preclinical and clinical studies.

This study evaluates the application of eco-friendly deep eutectic solvents (DESs) in the extraction of phenolic antioxidants from dogbane leaf-tea (DLT). The results showed DESs with lower viscosity allowed an efficient extraction of significantly higher contents of total phenolics or flavonoids. An innovative and high-efficient solvent, choline chloride-levulinic acid (ChCl-LevA), was screened and used in ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) of phenolic compounds from DLT. According to full factorial design experimental results, total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), antioxidant activity, and anti-α-glucosidase activity (α-GIA) of the DLT extracts were simultaneously optimized by response surface methodology. Sonication temperature and water content in ChCl-LevA were found to be the major factors affecting the TPC, TFC, antioxidant activity, andα-GIA of DLT extracts. Under the optimum parameters (water content in ChCl-LevA was 45%, sonication temperature was 50 °C, and extraction time was 30 min), the measured results for all the responses were obtained as follows: TPC-91.38 ± 7.20 mg GAE/g DW, TFC-84.12 ± 3.47 mg RE/g DW, ABTS+-492 ± 7.33 mmol TE/g DW, FRAP-6235 ± 121 μmol Fe(II)/g DW andα-GIA-230 ± 7.59 mmol AE/g DW, which were consistent with the predicted values. In addition, strongly significant positive correlations were observed between TPC/TFC and bio-activities of the DLT extracts. HPLC results indicated high contents of (-)-epigallocatechin (4272 ± 84.86 μg/g DW), catechin (5268 ± 24.53 μg/g DW), isoquercitrin (3500 ± 86.07 μg/g DW), kaempferol 3-O-rutinoside (3717 ± 97.71 μg/g DW), and protocatechuic acid (644 ± 1.65 μg/g DW) were observed in the DLT extracts. In contrast to other extraction methods, ChCl-LevA-based UAE yielded higher TPC, TFC, individual phenolic contents, stronger antioxidant activity, andα-GIA. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis further confirmed that ChCl-LevA-based UAE enhanced the disruption of cell wall structure, thereby making more phenolic antioxidants released from DLT. In short, ChCl-LevA-based UAE was confirmed to be an innovative and high-efficient method for extraction of phenolic antioxidants from DLT. Dogbane leaves can be considered as a good tea source rich in natural antioxidants.Keywords:Dogbane leaf-tea;phenolic compounds;deep eutectic solvents;ultrasonic-assisted extraction;response surface methodology;antioxidant activity;anti-glucosidase activity

Tea is a popular beverage with a long history of safe and healthy use. Tea polysaccharide is a bioactive component extracted from tea, which has attracted more and more attention in recent decades. In this article, an acidic polysaccharide Gougunao tea polysaccharide (GPS) was isolated from Gougunao green tea by hot water extraction and ethanol precipitation. After purification by a diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) Sepharose Fast Flow column and a Sephacryl S-400 column, several homogalacturonan (HG) and rhamnogalacturonan-I (RG-I) fractions were obtained. Fraction GPS2b with the highest yield was selected for structural characterization by methylation and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis. GPS2b was found to be an HG-type pectic polysaccharide (degree of methyl esterification [DE], 51.6%) with low molecular weight (Mw, 36.8 kDa). It was mainly composed of →4)-α-GalpA- (1→ and →4)-α-GalpA-6-OMe-(1→. In addition, a minor highly branched RG-I domain was identified in this fraction. The investigation of structural features of tea polysaccharides can provide insights to understand their structure-bioactivity relationship.

Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatasL.) is one of the most important global food crops. This crop exhibits excellent allelopathic potential against various weeds, but its allelopathic mechanism at the molecular level is unclear. Therefore, metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses were performed to explore the allelopathic effects, metabolic pathway, and associated genes for two major compounds with allelopathic activity, palmitic acid and linoleic acid. The sweet potato variety Ningshu 25 was employed in the current study. The results showed that palmitic acid and linoleic acid had strong allelopathic effects on seed germination, plant growth, antioxidant enzyme activity, and chlorophyll content of two weedsDigitaria sanguinalisandBidens pilosa. The content of the two targeted metabolites was affected by different environmental conditions and was significantly increased under low temperature (15 °C). Five metabolic pathways involved in the two targeted metabolites of fatty acids were found: fatty acid biosynthesis, fatty acid elongation, fatty acid degradation, biosynthesis of cutin, suberine, and wax, and the linoleic acid metabolism pathway. The synthesis of palmitic acid is significantly enriched in the biosynthesis pathways of fatty acids, cutin, suberine, and wax, and the synthesis of linoleic acid is significantly enriched in the linoleic acid metabolism pathway. Under different environmental conditions, there were three key genes expressed—g4988, g11881, and g19673—located in the biosynthesis pathways of cutin, suberine, and wax; four key genes expressed—g31191, g60956, g49811, and g59542—located in the biosynthesis pathway of fatty acids; and six key expressed genes—g26575, g24787, g23517, g57649, g58562, and g4314—located in biosynthesis pathway of linoleic acid, respectively. Our study advances understanding of the molecular mechanisms behind allelopathic traits in sweet potato and provides a set of candidate genes for use in improving allelopathic potential in sweet potato germplasm resources.
