Artificial mixing experiments using typical crude oils and ratios of different biomarkers show that the relative contribution changes are non-linear when two oils with different concentrations of biomarkers mix with each other. This may result in an incorrect conclusion if ratios of biomarkers and a simple binary linear equation are used to calculate the contribution proportion of each end-member to the mixed oil. The changes of biomarker ratios with the mixing proportion of end-member oils in the trinal mixing model are more complex than in the binary mixing model. When four or more oils mix, the contribution proportion of each end-member oil to the mixed oil cannot be calculated using biomarker ratios and a simple formula. Artificial mixing experiments on typical oils reveal that the absolute concentrations of biomarkers in the mixed oil cause a linear change with mixing proportion of each end-member. Mathematical inferences verify such linear changes. Some of the mathematical calculation methods using the absolute concentrations or ratios of biomarkers to quantitatively determine the proportion of each end-member in the mixed oils are deduced from the results of artificial experiments and by theoretical inference. Ratio of two biomarker compounds changes as a hyperbola with the mixing proportion in the binary mixing model, as a hyperboloid in the trinal mixing model, and as a hypersurface when mixing more than three end- members. The mixing proportion of each end-member can be quantitatively determined with these mathematical models, using the absolute concentrations and the ratios of biomarkers. The mathematical calculation model is more economical, convenient, accurate and reliable than conventional artificial mixing methods.展开更多

A combinative method using HPLC fingerprint and quantitative analysis was developed and validated for quality consistency evaluation of SMT. Individual HPLC chromatograms were evaluated against the mean chromatogram generated via a similarity evaluation computer program. Data from chromatographic fingerprints were also processed with principal component analysis(PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis(HCA). Additionally, six components (naringin, isonaringin, hesperidin, neohesperidin, norisoboldine and potassium sorbate) in SMT were simultaneously determined to interpret the quality consistency. For fingerprint analysis, 20 peaks were selected as the characteristic peaks to evaluate the similarities of 26 SMT collected from different manufacturers. Among the 20 characteristic peaks, 10 peaks were assigned to be naringin, hesperidin, neohesperidin, isonaringin, neoeriocitrin, tangeretin, nobiletin, norisoboldine, 5-(ethoxymethyl)furan-2-carbaldehyde and potassium sorbate, respectively. The results of similarity analysis, PCA and HCA, indicate that the samples from different manufacturers were consistent with each other in composition. The results from the quantitative data show that the contents of six compounds were significantly different in SMT oral liquid preparations from different manufacturers. The combinative method of chromatographic fingerprint with quantitative analysis developed here offered an efficient way for the quality consistency evaluation of the traditional Chinese medicine SMT.展开更多

We apply a Gaussian beam and the ABCD matrix formalism to describe the propagation of the THz beam in a focused beam setup. The insertion of the sample induces a focus displacement which is absent in the reference t without a sample. We show how the focus displacement can be corrected. The THz optical properties after focus displacement correction reported in this Letter are in quantitative agreement with those obtained using collimated beam THz-TDTSinpreviouswork.展开更多

From these three agarwood samples, totally forty-six FTPECs were identified, and twenty-five of which were tentatively identified by the analysis of MS fragmentation ions, the others were indentiffed via comparing the retention time and MS fragmentation ions of them with those of the reference compounds. Besides, quantitative determination of five characteristic FTPECs(F14, F16 and F18-F20) in the three agarwoods was carried out, and it was found that the absolute content of each compound of these five FTPECs showed positive correlation with the quality of agarwood samples. Due to the wide distribution of four of these FTPECs(F16 and F18-F20) in the chemical constituents of agarwood, it is suggested that the total absolute content of these four FTPECs may be set as one of basis for agarwood quality evaluation.展开更多

Methods A sensitive and simple high- performance liquid chromatography coupled with evaporative light-scattering detector(HPLC-ELSD) method was developed for the first time for the simultaneous determination of celosin Ⅰ and celosin Ⅱ. Using this method, 21 batches of Celosiae Semen were determined from different habitats in China. Results There was an obvious difference in the contents of celosin Ⅰ and celosin Ⅱ among Celosiae Semen species from various habitats across China. The crude drug from Yongzhou, Hunan province, Zhuhai, Guangdong province, and Nanning, Guangxi province showed the highest contents of all habitats, while Anguo, Hebei province, Haidian, Beijing, and Zhengzhou, Henan province showed the lowest content. The results also showed that geographical location had a great influence on the contents of the two compounds. The batches from lower latitudes were higher in contents of celosin Ⅰ and celosin Ⅱ. Conclusion The sun light may be a key factor influencing the contents of the two saponins, indicating that the environment has a great impact on the quality of Celosiae Semen.展开更多

The results also showed that geographical location had a great influence on the contents of the two compounds. The batches from lower latitudes were higher in contents of celosin Ⅰ and celosin Ⅱ. Conclusion The sun light may be a key factor influencing the contents of the two saponins, indicating that the environment has a great impact on the quality of Celosiae Semen.
文摘A high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with variable wavelength detection(HPLC–UV)was developed to evaluate the quality of Petasites tatewakianus Kitam through a simultaneous determination of eight bakkenolides:bakkenolide-L,bakkenolide-D,bakkenolide-B,bakkenolide-Ⅰa,bakkenolide-Ⅶa,bakkenolide-Ⅳa,bakkenolide-Ⅲa and homofukinolide.With a C18 analytical column,the eight analytes were efficiently separated using tetrahydrofuran–acetonitrile–water as the mobile phase in a constant program.The limits of detection and limits of quantitation of the method ranged 0.42–2.56μg/mL and 1.22–8.40μg/mL,respectively.The intra-and inter-day precisions of the method were all less than 1.83%.All the recoveries for the spiked analytes ranged 97.8%–102.4%.There were statistically significant differences among the contents of the eight bakkenolides in different parts and origins of P.tatewakianus(Po0.01).The content of total bakkenolides in rhizome was higher than that in other parts of the plant.The content of total bakkenolides in rhizome from Baishan was higher than those in other localities.The result suggested that rhizome may be the most valuable part of P.tatewakianus,and P.tatewakianus from Baishan may be the best plant resource.Our results might serve as a sound foundation for further study and application of this plant.

文摘Determination of gas adsorption capacity under geological conditions is essential in evaluating shale gas resource potential.A quantitative determination of gas adsorption capacity was proposed through 1)investigating controlling geological factors(including both internal ones and external ones)of gas adsorption capacity in organic-rich marine shale with geochemical analysis,XRD diffraction,field-emission scanning electron microscopy,and methane sorption isotherms;2)defining the relationship between gas adsorption capacity and single controlling factor;3)establishing a comprehensive determination model with the consideration of all these controlling factors.The primary controlling factors of the sorption capacity for the studied O3wLower S1l shale are TOC,illite and quartz,temperature,pressure,Ro,and moisture(water saturation).Specifically,TOC,thermal maturity,illite,and pressure are positively correlated with sorption capacity,whereas,quartz and temperature contribute negatively to the sorption capacity.We present the quantitative model along with application examples from the Wufeng-Lower Longmaxi Shale in the southeast Sichuan Basin,west China,to demonstrate the approach in shale gas evaluation.The result shows that the comprehensive determination model provides a good and unbiased estimate of gas adsorption capacities with a high correlation coefficient(0.96)and bell-shaped residues centered at zero.
