Determination of Total Polyphenols in Different Extraction Fractions of Pholidota chinensis Lindl.and Their Antioxidant Activity

[Objectives]This study was conducted to study the total polyphenol content and antioxidant capacity of different extraction fractions of Pholidota chinensis.[Methods]Different polar fractions of P.chinensis were obtained by ultrasonic extraction method,and determined for polyphenol contents by UV spectrophotometry,and their antioxidant activity was evaluated by DPPH free radical scavenging and ferric ion reducing antioxidant power(FRAP).SPSS analysis software was used to analyze the correlation between total polyphenol contents and antioxidant activity of different extracts.[Results]The contents of total polyphenols in different polar fractions ranged from 1.52 to 6.41 mg/g,and the order from low to high was:water<petroleum ether<ethyl acetate<95%ethanol.The reduction capacity of the total antioxidant capacity method ranged from 12.54 to 22.45μmol/L,and the order was 95%ethanol>ethyl acetate>petroleum ether>water.The DPPH median inhibition concentration ranged from 0.35 to 2.65 mg/ml,and the order was water>petroleum ether>ethyl acetate>95%ethanol.The total polyphenol content of P.chinensis was best in the 95%ethanol extraction fraction,which showed the strongest total antioxidant capacity,so the total polyphenol content of the 95%ethanol fraction was positively correlated with its antioxidant capacity,while the DPPH free radical-scavenging capacity was better in the water fraction,indicating that the free radical-scavenging capacity of the water fraction was better.[Conclusions]This study provides a theoretical basis for the further study of the chemical components of P.chinensis and the development and utilization of natural antioxidants.

Effects of Pulp Preconditioning on Total Polyphenols, O-diphenols and Anthocyanin Concentrations during Fermentation and Drying of Cocoa （Theobroma cacao） Beans

Changes in total polyphenols, O-diphenols and anthocyanin concentrations during fermentation and drying of pulp pre-conditioned cocoa （Theobroma cacao） beans were investigated using standard analytical methods. Increasing pod storage, fermentation and drying led to variable reductions in total polyphenols, O-diphenols and anthocyanins content of the beans. The rates of reduction were however more pronounced during fermentation than pod storage and drying. Storage of cocoa pods between 3-7 days with 6 and 7 days of fermentation and drying respectively retained 85%-90% of the total polyphenol and O-diphenols of the cocoa beans. Similarly, anthocyanin content of beans from the 10 days of pod storage decreased by 70% in the sixth day of fermentation. Pod storage decreased the anthocyanin content at all periods of fermentation. These suggest that the post-harvest treatments of pod storage, fermentation and drying all results in variable reductions in polyphenolic content （total polyphenols and O-diphenols） and anthocyanins content of cocoa beans.

Preparation and Drug-Release Property of Polycaprolactone (PCL)/Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) Composite Masterbatch with Drug of Tea Polyphenols (TPs)

In order to effectively control the drug-release rate of medical textiles,biodegradable polycaprolactone(PCL) and polyglycolic acid(PGA) were blended at various mass ratios to prepare composite masterbatches for medical textiles.The surface morphology and the chemical structure of the masterbatches were analyzed.The crystallization,mass losses,strengths and drug-release rates of the composite masterbatches at different PCL/PGA mass ratios were explored.The results show that the degradation rate of the PGA carrier is obvious higher than that of the PCL carrier,and PCL,PGA and the tea polyphenol(TP) drug just physically mix without chemical reaction.During the degradation,the strength of the composite masterbatches gradually decreases.In addition,the drug-release rates of composite masterbatches at different mass ratios are different,and the more the PGA in the composite masterbatches,the faster the drug release of the composite masterbatches.The drug-release rate of the composite masterbatches can be controlled by adjusting the contents of PCL and PGA.

Tea Polyphenols Exerts Anti-hepatitis B Virus Effects in a Stably HBV-transfected Cell Line

In this study, the anti-HBV effects of tea polyphenols （TP） were examined. After cells were exposed to TP for 3, 6, 9 days, amounts of HBsAg, HBeAg and HBV-DNA released into the supernatant of the cultured HepG2 2.2.15 cells were detected. TP, to some extent, inhibited the secretion of HBsAg and strongly suppressed the secretion of HBeAg in a dose-dependent （P〈0.01） and time-dependent manner, with 50% maximal inhibitory concentration （IC50） value being 7.34μg/mL on the 9th day, but the time-dependence was not significant （P=0.051）. Expression of HBV-DNA in the supernatant of the cell culture also was significantly decreased in a dose-dependent fashion （P〈0.01）. The ICS0 of TP in inhibiting HBV DNA was 2.54 pg/mL. It concluded that TP possessed potential anti-HBV effects and may be used as a treatment alternative for HBV infection.

EFFECT OF TEA POLYPHENOLS AND EGCG ON NASOPHARYN-GEAL CARCINOMA CELL PROLIFERATION AND THE MECHANISMS INVOLVED

Objective: Tea polyphenols present in green tea show cancer chemopreventive effects in many tumor models. Epidemiological studies have also suggested that green tea consumption might be effective in the prevention of certain human cancers. In the present study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms of the inhibition of cell proliferation by tea polyphenols in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cell line CNE1-LMP1. Methods: CNE1-LMP1 cells were treated with tea polyphenols at various doses (0, 25, 50, 100, 200 μg/ml) for 24 hours, the morphology of cells was observed by light microscopy, and cell survival rate was determined by MTT assay. At the same time, cell cycle of CNE1-LMP1 was analyzed by flow cytometry. Cyclin D1 transcription was analyzed by cyclin D1 promoterluciferase reporter system and expression of cyclin D1 protein by Western blot analysis. Transactivities of NF-κB and AP-1 was analyzed by Dual-fluorescence reporter gene system. Results: After treatment of CNE1-LMP1 cells with tea polyphenols, the number of proliferating cells was obviously decreased as determined by light microscopy and MTT assay (from 100% to 89.4%, 83.3%, 74.8% and 38.1%). With the increase of tea polyphenols concentrations, the number of cells in S-phase was obviously decreased, and the number of cells in G1-phase from 22.20% to 13.16%, and the number of cells in G0/G1 phase was elevated from 68.5% to 74.08%. It suggests that tea polyphenols could arrest the cell cycle at both of the two checkpoints. Furthermore, transcription and were obviously declined 7–8 folds (100–200 μg/ml tea polyphenols or EGCG group) and expression of cyclin D1 protein also decreased in a dose-dependent manner. Transactivities of NF-κB and AP-1 were obviously down-regulated in CNE1-LMP1 cells. Conclusion: Green tea polyphenols could inhibit cell proliferation, by suppressing the activity of NF-κB and AP-1, and by down-regulation of the transcription of cyclin D1.

Determination of Residual Catechins, Polyphenolic Contents and Antioxidant Activities of Developed Theaflavin-3,3’-Digallate Rich Black Teas

This study was carried out to characterize total residual catechins and their fractions, polyphenolic contents and antioxidant activities of black teas enriched with high levels of theaflavin-3,3’-digallate. The made teas were processed from eleven selected cultivars. A comparative study was carried out between the processed teas and those from commercially grown Kenyan cultivars in relation to the above chemical parameters. A correlation matrix analysis was also conducted to find out whether a relationship existed between the antioxidant activities and the said chemical parameters. The total residual catechins were found to range between 3.10% and 8.08%. The total polyphenol levels varied between 19.00% and 28.90%, while the antioxidant activities of the teas ranged from 82.70% to 91.70%. There was a significant p < 0.001 correlation between the antioxidant activity and total polyphenols (r = 0.8948). There was also a high correlation p < 0.001 between the antioxidant activity and total catechins (r = 0.8878). Out of the four catechin fractions, the antioxidant activity correlated most with EGCG (r = 0.8774). The total polyphenolic contents and antioxidant activities for most of the cultivars were comparable to those of the green tea reference standard. From the figures obtained, it can be concluded that the most of the newly developed black teas of the selected cultivars have higher quality and enhanced antioxidant activities and that they can be recommended for commercial production.

Measuring Quality of Economic Growth Incorporating Environment and Social Welfare:a Total Productivity Approach with an Application on China

By extending the traditional productivity theory,a new concept total productivity( TP) is introduced. Using a directional distance function approach,the concept is applied to measuring economic growth of 8 economic regions of China covering an 18 years period( 1997—2014) and test its convergence. Results showed that TP grew at an average rate of 6. 6% per year led mainly by technical change( 6. 5%). When environmental undesirable outputs are included,the Middle Yellow River,Northwest and Southwest regions of China witnessed higher productivity changes. Results of the convergence analysis revealed that China had made progress in reducing regional imbalance in growth. Inclusion of undesirable output showed that the energy-saving emission reduction policies had speed up the convergence rate of TP and environment oriented productivity. However,China's welfare oriented productivity is still very low.
