Objective: To establish a method for analyzing HPLC fingerprint of Herba pogostemonis and compare the variability of four main producing areas.
Methods: Diamonsil (R) C18 column was used, the Methanol-0.1% phosphoric acid (gradient elution) as a mobile phase and detection wavelength was set at 254nm, column temperature was 25 degrees C and flow rate was 1.0 ml/min.
Results: There were differences between the HPLC fingerprint of Herba pogostemonis from various places of production. The similarity of Herba Pogostemonis cultivated in tow regions of Zhaoqing Gaoyao and Guangzhou Huangcun was over 90%, and there were more differences among them with Zhanjiang Wuchuan and Hainan Wanning.
Conclusion: The method is reliable and accurate. The method can be used for the identification of the crude drug and the evaluation of its quality.

Background: Chronic smoking is an established risk factor for oral cancer (OC). The role of tobacco in oral squamous cell cancer (OSCC) emphasizes the need for non-invasive diagnostic approaches to identify early molecular alterations and improve patient outcomes. Salivary exosomes, which contain proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, accessible and rich in biological content, making them interesting candidate biomarkers.

The appearances of Schisandrae Sphenantherae Fructus (SSF) and Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus (SCF) are very similar. Thus, being able to distinguish between SSF and SCF is useful for the quality control of these herbal medicines. In this study, two kinds of electrochemical fingerprint analyses using voltammetry or HPLC with electrochemical detection (HPLC-ECD) were developed in combination with multivariate analysis for discriminating between SSF and SCF.

Background: Angelicae Dahuricae Radix (ADR) is used as both a traditional Chinese medicine and a food ingredient in China and East Asian countries. ADR is generally sun-dried post-harvest but is sometimes sulfur-fumigated to prevent decay and rot. Although there are some studies on the effect of sulfur fumigation on ADR, they are not comprehensive.

A novel dual-wavelength ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) fingerprint was established, 56 common peaks were confirmed and attributed to the source of the medicinal materials, and 13 chromatographic peaks of them were identified by UHPLC quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF)-MS/MS and UHPLC-UV method. Furthermore, a simple and sensitive HPLC-quadrupole trap (Q-TRAP)-MS/MS was developed for the simultaneous determination of 16 active components with electrospray ionization (ESI) source switching between positive and negative modes in a single run. The above two methods were successfully applied for the quality evaluation of Guanxinjing capsule (GXJC).
