Vascular aging is the pathological basis for the aging of various organ systems in the human body and is a common pathogenesis leading to the development of atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and other conditions among older adults. Aging is characterized by accelerated pulse wave velocity, thickening of the carotid artery intima-media, and decreased vascular dilation function. Signaling pathways such as mTOR, AMPK, NF-κB, Klotho, SIRT, and other key proteins are likely involved in these processes.

Stroke is currently the second largest contributor to disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) in developing countries, and it is the third largest contributor to DALYs in developed countries. It requires a large number of resources from the health care system every year, which places a great burden on society, families, and individuals. The treatment of traditional Chinese medicine exercise therapy (TCMET) during stroke recovery has become a hot topic of current research due to its few adverse events and high efficiency.

Objective: To prepare nano-particles of SCF-CO2 extraction of Magnolia officinalis with rapid expansion of supercritical solution (RESS) and optimize the preparation procedure with orthogonal experiment.

Method: The preparation procedures were optimized by orthogonal test L9(3(4)) with the mean particle size and the amounts of total-phenol as indexes. Factors of the extraction pressure and temperature, diameter of nozzle, pre-expansion temperature were evaluated for their effects on preparation process.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of combining CO2 supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) with molecular distillation (MD) for extracting and purifying the volatile components of the Chinese herbal medicine Ligusticum wallichii Franch.
  • SFE successfully extracted 45 chemical constituents, but MD further refined the extract, leaving 39 constituents and altering their concentrations.
  • The findings suggest that this combined method is superior to using SFE alone for handling the extraction and purification of volatile components in Chinese herbs.
