Qixue Shuangbu Prescription (QSP) has been widely applied in the treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF). Previous clinical studies have found that the efficacy of processed QSP was significantly enhanced in the treatment of CHF. We have identified and analyzed the nonvolatile components before and after processing of QSP, and predicted the mechanism of synergistic effect after processing in the treatment of CHF. However, the synergistic mechanism of processed QSP caused by the difference of volatile components was still unclear. In this study, we developed a method of needle trap device coupled with gas chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry to elucidate the difference of volatile components between crude and processed QSP. The established method has been used to identify 104 volatile compounds in crude and processed QSP. The results of multivariate data showed 38 differential compounds were screened as potential markers, which would further explain the mechanism of processing synergistic effect of processed QSP. This study successfully developed the method to elucidate its processing mechanism based on the difference of volatile compositions between crude and processed QSP for the first time, and it would provide a novel analytical strategy for the impacts of different processing methods on main volatile compounds in traditional Chinese medicine.

Quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) is a modeling approach employed in drug research and development that combines mechanistic representations of biological processes with drug pharmacology to deepen biological understanding and predict the responses to novel drugs or protocols. QSP has evolved from and is related to other modeling approaches, but has a number of unique attributes and applications. Here, we clarify the definition of QSP and its key features, trace its evolution, briefly compare it to other approaches, and explain why and how it can be used to reduce risk and improve efficiency in drug research and development.

Development of a Quantitative Systems Pharmacology (QSP) model is a long process with many iterative steps. Lack of standard practices for publishing QSP models has resulted in limited model reproducibility within the field. Multiple studies have identified that model reproducibility is a large challenge, especially for QSP models.

Spintronics, utilizing both the charge and spin of electrons, benefits from the nonvolatility, low switching energy, and collective behavior of magnetization. These properties allow the development of magnetoresistive random access memories, with magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) playing a central role. Various spin logic concepts are also extensively explored.

The first downstream processing step in the purification of a biopharmaceutical protein secreted into mammalian cell culture fluid is the primary clarification of the culture fluid. As cell densities in the fed-batch and increasingly more common perfusion bioreactors have increased over last two decades through intensified upstream bioreactor production processes, the traditional primary clarification unit operations of centrifugation and/or microfiltration become more challenging with issues like frequent desludging, cell disruption due to shear damage and quick fouling of membranes. We have developed a novel compact cell settler device exploiting the enhanced sedimentation on inclined surfaces and demonstrated that this settler device can be adapted easily to remove and contain cells or cell clumps from the clarified supernatant collected via the top effluent of the settler.
