A simple and reliable method of high-performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array detection (HPLC-DAD) was developed to evaluate the quality of a traditional Chinese medicine Sophora flavescens through establishing chromatographic fingerprint and simultaneous determination of five flavonoids, including trifolirhizin, maackiain, kushenol I, kurarinone and sophoraflavanone G. The optimal conditions of separation and detection were achieved on an ULTIMATE XB-C18 column (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 microm) with a gradient of acetonitrile and water, detected at 295 nm. In the chromatographic fingerprint, 13 peaks were selected as the characteristic peaks to assess the similarities of different samples collected from different origins in China according to similarity evaluation for chromatographic fingerprint of traditional chinese medicine (2004AB) and principal component analysis (PCA) were used in data analysis. There were significant differences in the fingerprint chromatograms between S. flavescens and S. tonkinensis. Principal component analysis showed that kurarinone and sophoraflavanone G were the most important component. In quantitative analysis, the five components showed good regression (R > 0.999) with linear ranges, and their recoveries were in the range of 96.3% - 102.3%. This study indicated that the combination of quantitative and chromatographic fingerprint analysis can be readily utilized as a quality control method for S. flavescens and its related traditional Chinese medicinal preparations.

The evolution of precursors to form secondary organic aerosol (SOA) is still a challenge in atmospheric chemistry. Chamber experiments were conducted to simulate the ambient OH oxidation of naphthalene and α-pinene, which are typical markers of anthropogenic and biogenic emissions. Particulate matters were sampled by quartz filters and were analyzed by comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) coupled with a thermal desorption system (TD) and a mass spectrometer (MS).

Concerning the entrance of oil into the Persian Gulf due to the presence of oil fields in this ecosystem, a wide investigation was carried out in 2017 to evaluate the hydrocarbons source identification and chemical fingerprinting. To this end, surface sediments were collected from the Persian Gulf. In the laboratory, compounds (n-alkanes, PAHs, hopane and sterane) were then extracted with a Soxhlet system and two steps of chromatographic columns and analyzed using a GC-MS instrument.

Molecular machine learning (ML) has proven important for tackling various molecular problems, such as predicting molecular properties based on molecular descriptors or fingerprints. Since relatively recently, graph neural network (GNN) algorithms have been implemented for molecular ML, showing comparable or superior performance to descriptor or fingerprint-based approaches. Although various tools and packages exist to apply GNNs in molecular ML, a new GNN package, named MolGraph, was developed in this work with the motivation to create GNN model pipelines highly compatible with the TensorFlow and Keras application programming interface (API).

Article Synopsis
- A standardized model for quality control in traditional prescriptions like Sanshengyin (SSY) is essential, leading to the development of a comprehensive "three-in-one" fingerprint evaluation system for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
- The study employed a five-wavelength high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) technique and a quantification method to create a unified analytical strategy, enabling differentiation of sample grades and identification of quality markers.
- A correlation analysis was conducted to link the quality markers with overall quality, while also assessing antioxidant activity and fingerprint profiles to identify potential bioactive compounds, promoting a cost-effective method for enhancing TCM quality standardization in medical settings.
