[Prediction model of Reduning Injection content based on near-infrared and mid-infrared technology combined with spectral fusion].

In this paper, a method for rapidly determining the content of chlorogenic acid, neochlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, gardeniside, and strychnoside in Reduning Injection(RI) was established based on near-infrared spectroscopy(NIRS), midinfrared spectroscopy(MIRS), and spectral fusion technology. Six pretreatment methods and five variable screening methods were investigated, and the best method was selected to establish a partial least square(PLS) model of two single spectra. At the same time,the NIRS and MIRS were fused with equal weights and characteristic bands, and the PLS model was established.

The Effect of Preventing Oxidative Stress and Its Mechanisms in the Extract from DC. Based on the Nrf2-Keap1-ARE Signaling Pathway.

As the organ with the largest contact area with the outside world, the intestine is home to a large number of microorganisms and carries out the main functions of food digestion, absorption, and metabolism. Therefore, there is a very active metabolism of substances and energy in the gut, which is easily attacked by oxygen free radicals. What is more, oxidative stress can gradually and slowly cause very serious damage to the gut.
