Background: Fructus Corni is derived from the dry ripe sarcocarp of Cornus officinalis Sieb. et Zucc. 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (5-HMF) is an important active composition of the Fructus Corni. However, there have been no reports on the concentration of 5-HMF in freely moving rats using microdialysis coupled with HPLC.
Materials And Methods: The concentration of 5-HMF in free-moving rats after intra-gastric (i.g.) administration of the water extract of Fructus Corni and JZP was analyzed by microdialysis coupled with high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC).
Results: Results demonstrated that the concentration of 5-HMF in microdialysate was 1.4951 μg/l, but higher in rat microdialysate after i.g. administration of the aqueous extract of JZP (5.2662 μg/l).
Conclusion: This method is proved to be rapid, accurate and simple. Real-time in vivo monitoring the concentration of 5-HMF provides the theoretical basis for further explaining the processing mechanism of Fructus Corni.

Natural polysaccharides have promising application prospects in cancer immunotherapy due to their excellent biocompatibility and immunomodulatory effects. In this study, an acidic polysaccharide (FCP-3) from Fructus corni with good immunomodulatory effects was extracted. Stable polysaccharide‑selenium nanoparticles composites (FCP-SeNPs) were synthesized to enhance the immunoregulatory effects of FCP-3.

Based on the processing and compatibility, this study explored the effects of components in Corni Fructus(CF) and Astragali Radix(AR) on plasma metabolomics in diabetic nephropathy rats. SD rats were randomly divided into four groups and diabetic nephropathy rat model was induced by high-fat diet combined with 30 mg·kg~(-1) streptozotocin(STZ). Histopathological observations of kidney tissue sections of rats in each group were conducted using HE, PAS, and Masson staining.

Corni fructus (CF) is always subjected to wine processing before prescription in clinic, for an enhancing effect of nourishing liver and kidney. While, the underlying mechanism for this processing on CF remains obscure. In this study, a sensitive ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method combined multi-dimensional analyses was established to monitor chemical characterizations of raw and wine-processed CF (WCF) and hence reveal the effects and underlying mechanism of wine processing on CF.
