Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lungs and intestines come from the same source, and the intestine is related to pneumonia. This is the same as the gut-lung axis theory.

Therefore, we use a combination of metabolomics and network pharmacology to clarify the mechanism of QB. Nontarget metabolomics studies were performed on rat serum, urine, and lung tissues, and 56 therapeutic biomarkers were found.

Ultra high performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) was applied to metabonomics study in BALB/c mice infected with mycoplasma pneumoniae(MP) to analyze the changes in serum endogenous metabolites, identify potential biomarkers associated with mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia(MPP), analyze the metabolic pathway and explore the pathogenic mechanism of MPP. The BALB/c mice were inoculated with MP by repeated intranasal infectious routes to establish MPP models, and the results of the lung tissue biopsy, IgM and mycoplasma nucleic acid content determination showed that the models of MP in BALB/c mice were successfully established. UPLC-Q-TOF-MS was used to analyze the serum metabolic profiling of BALB/c mice infected with MP, and then principal component analysis(PCA) was combined with orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) for data processing.

Methods: Rapid identification of chemical constituents in the leaves of Acanthopanax senticosus by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS / MS. The chemical constituents were identified and speculated by using Peakview data processing software, the retention time, exact relative molecular mass, and cleavage fragments of MS / MS were detected.
Two new naphthalenone compounds were isolated from green walnut husks of Juglans mandshurica and their structures were identified as 4-butoxybutoxy-5,8-dihydroxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-naphthalen-1-one (1), 4-ethoxyethoxy-5,8-dihydroxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-naphthalen-1-one (2). Compounds 1 and 2 were named as Juglanstetralone A (1) and Juglanstetralone B (2). Compound 1 showed more significant anti-tumor activity than 2 against gastric cancer BGC-823 cells, wih the IC50 of 125.
