Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Typhae Pollen (TP) is a well-known Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to remove blood stasis. Carbonized Typhae Pollen (CTP), a processed product of TP after being stir-fried, has been widely applied to clinical practice with its capability of hemostasis. However, the underlying mechanism of TP and CTP are still not fully elucidated and discrimination against TP and CTP remains a challenge.
Aim Of Study: The aim of this study is to investigate whether TP could remove blood stasis by promoting angiogenesis and the process of carbonizing it could enhance hemostatic effect. Meanwhile, some chemical markers for quality control of CTP had better to be found.
Material And Methods: The changes of constituents between TP and CTP were analyzed by UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS. We investigated pro-angiogenic and hemostatic effects of TP and CTP in two zebrafish models: VRI-induced ISV insufficiency model and Ator-induced cerebral hemorrhage model. Subsequently, quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was applied to investigate the mechanism of pharmacological effects. Finally, chemometric method was applied to find chemical markers.
Results: A total of 19 compounds were identified in qualitative analysis. The loss rate of each compound was calculated and compared. Two compounds (huaicarbon A/B) could only be detected in CTP and the content of flavonoid glycosides in CTP was significantly decreased compared with TP. The average content of the three identified flavonoid aglycones (quercetin, isorhamnetin and kaempferol) was increased about 30 percent in CTP. TP promoted pro-angiogenesis by up-regulating the expression of VEGFA, flt1 and kdr. After heating process, the pro-angiogenic activity was reduced and hemostatic activity was enhanced in CTP. Then qRT-PCR analysis found that CTP could significantly up-regulate the expression of VEGFA and vWF. In the discovery of markers, 6 chemical markers for discrimination of TP and CTP were obtained by chemometric method.
Conclusion: Our research indicated that the pro-angiogenic activity of TP was involved in VEGF signaling pathway. After processing, hemostatic activity of CTP has been enhanced by up-regulating the expression of VEGFA and vWF. A chemical marker database was established to provide a scientific evidence for quality control, mechanism and the clinical application of TP and CTP.

As an important small molecule, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) plays an important role in the regulation of cell metabolism and supplies energy for various biochemical reactions in organisms. We herein developed a sensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) biosensor for highly specific detection of ATP using core-satellite assemblies. To construct the aptamer-based biosensor, a known ATP binding aptamer was divided into two segments.

The production of complex multimeric secretory immunoglobulins (SIgA) in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves is challenging, with significant reductions in complete protein assembly and consequently yield, being the most important difficulties. Expanding the physical dimensions of the ER to mimic professional antibody-secreting cells can help to increase yields and promote protein folding and assembly. Here, we expanded the ER in N.

Autosomal dominant deafness-15 which is caused by mutation in the POU4F3 gene, has been reported with a wide degree of clinical heterogeneity, even between intrafamilial members. However, the reason is still elusive. In this study, A four-generation Chinese family with 11 patients manifesting late-onset progressive non-syndromic hearing loss was recruited.
