AI Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to investigate the chemical changes that occur in Hedysari Radix (HR) before and after being processed with honey (HPHR) and how these changes affect their efficacy in treating spleen qi deficiency.
- - An analysis using UPLC-MS revealed that HPHR contained a different composition of compounds compared to HR, showing that honey-processing influences the therapeutic properties of Hedysari Radix.
- - Results indicated that both HR and HPHR improved conditions related to spleen qi deficiency in rats, but HPHR was found to be more effective, as evidenced by better protective effects on spleen tissue and more favorable serum biomarker levels.
Article Abstract
Objective: To compare the changes of chemical components of Hedysari Radix (HR) before and after honey-processing, and to explore the material basis of the difference between HR and honey-processed Hedysari Radix (HPHR) in Buzhong Yiqi.
Methods: Different compounds in aqueous extracts of HR and HPHR were analysed by UPLC-MS. A rat model of spleen qi deficiency was established. The rats were treated with different doses of water extracts of HR or HPHR, and pathological differences in spleen tissue, serum levels of -xylose, gastrin (GAS) and amylase (AMS) interleukin-2 (IL)-2 and tumour necrosis factor- (TNF-), as well as spleen and thymus indices, were used as indicators. Differences in the efficacy of HR and HPHR in Buzhong Yiqi were studied.
Results: The research showed that compared with the blank group, the spleen tissue of rats in the model group showed spleen tissue damage, which mainly manifested as unclear boundaries between red pulp and white pulp, irregular spleen morphology and irregular arrangement, and the structure of white pulp destruction, less lymphocytes, the number of germinal centers decreased or atrophied. Compared with the model group, the middle and high dose groups of HR and HPHR had protective effects on spleen tissue of spleen-qi deficiency rats, and HPHR had a stronger effect; compared with those in the model group, rats in each treatment group showed remarkably higher serum -xylose, GAS and AMS levels and thymus and spleen indices, and remarkably lower serum IL-2 and TNF- levels, among which HPHR group showed better regulation effect than HR group. A total of 16 differential compounds were found in the aqueous extracts of HR and HPHR, of which 10 compounds in HPHR were up regulated, while 6 compounds were down regulated compare to HR.
Conclusion: The results indicated that both HR and HPHR can improve spleen qi deficiency syndrome of rats, the pharmacodynamic effect of the latter was better than the former. Differences in components of HR and HPHR potentially leading to variations in efficacy.

Background: Hydrophilic Interaction Liquid Chromatography (HILIC) is an outstanding strategy for the challenging analysis of hydrophilic and polar components. Nevertheless, analysis under HILIC mode typically consumes 70%-95Â % acetonitrile with the disadvantage of high analytical costs, being environmentally unfriendly and causing biohazards, which is not in line with the concept of green chromatography. Research has shown that Per Aqueous Liquid Chromatography (PALC) simultaneously emphasizes efficient analytical performance for hydrophilic analytes and green analytical concepts.

A dual-emission ratio-fluorescent sensing nanohybrid based on Radix green-synthesized carbon quantum dots (CDs) and glutathione-functionalized gold nanoclusters (GSH-AuNCs) had been developed for the determination of cefodizime sodium (CDZM). The designed fluorescence nanohybrid had two significant fluorescence emission peaks at 458 nm and 569 nm when excited at 360 nm, which was attributed to the CDs and GSH-AuNCs. With the addition of CDZM, the fluorescence at 458 nm was slightly weakened while the fluorescence at 569 nm was enhanced obviously.

After 1 week of adaptive feeding, 50 male SPF-grade Wistar rats were randomized into a blank group(n=7) and a modeling group. After 24 h of fasting, the rats in the modeling group were subjected to intraperitoneal injection of streptozocin and fed with a high-sugar and high-fat diet to establish a DKD model.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: The herb pair Astragali Radix (AR) and Curcumae Rhizoma (vinegar-processed, VPCR), derived from the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) text 'Yixuezhongzhongcanxilu', have long been used to treat gastrointestinal diseases, notably colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC). Hedysari Radix (HR), belonging to the same Leguminosae family as AR but from a different genus, is traditionally used as a substitute for AR when paired with VPCR in the treatment of CAC. However, the optimal compatibility ratio for HR-VPCR against CAC and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Background: Severe peripheral nerve injuries, such as deficits over long distances or proximal nerve trunk injuries, pose complex reconstruction challenges that often result in unfavorable outcomes. An innovative approach to repairing severe peripheral nerve damage involves using conduit suturing for nerve transposition repair. Cylindrical nerve guides are typically unsuitable for nerve transposition repair.
