Observation and Comparision on Morphological Characteristics of the Seed-like Fruits of Salvia shandongensis and Its Relatives

[Objective] This study aimed to compare and analyse the morphological characteristics of the seed-like fruits between Salvia shandongensis J. X. Li et F. Q. Zhou and its relatives. [Method] The morphological characteristics of the mature seed-like fruits of Salvia shandongensis and its three congeners, S. miltiorrhiza, S. miltiorrhiza f. alba and S. bowleyana, were comparatively observed using both optical microscope and scanning electron microscope. [Result] The results showed that there were distinct differences in the shape, size and exine sculpture of the seed-like fruits of the four Danshen congeners： the seed-like fruits of S. shandongensis that were elliptical and had areolate sculpture with subquadrangular convex meshes as well as densely filamentous transverse lines were easy to be distinguished from those of S. miltiorrhiza Bge., which were broadly elliptical and had reticulate sculpture with subquadrate concave meshes. The seed-like fruits of S. bowleyana were fusiform and their ektexine had reticulate sculpture with polygonal meshes, which were slightly convex at the center, which are obviously different from those of S. shandongensis. [Conclusion] This study first accumulates data of the seed-like fruits of S. shandongensis, which provides important bases for establishing its taxonomical status and studying its germplasm. The morphological characteristics and reticulate sculpture on ektexine of the seed-like fruits S. miltiorrhiza Bge. are consistent with the previous report. The results in this study not only provide references for uncovering the genetic relationships between S. shandongensis and S. miltiorrhiza Bge., as well as the interspecific classification and identification. In addition, this study also provides new scientific proofs for the identification of Danshen species and their introduction and cultivation, genetics and breeding.

Effects of Water─soluble Components Isolated from Salviamilltiorrhiza on Oxygen Free Radical Generation and LipidPeroxidation

The effects of water─soluble components isolated from Salvia miltiorrhiza on oxygen free radical prodction and lipid peroxidation were estimated. Five components(10 μmol/L)were shown to inhibit superoxide anion generation by xanthine─xanthine oxidase system. It was also demonstrated that six components( 100 μmol/L) prevented H_2O_2─induced hemolysis and MDA fonnation in mouse erythrocytes.The effects of Sal A, Sal B, Sal C and Ros A were dose dependent. In Langendorff rat heart, pretreatment with Sal A 20μmol/L significantly prevented MDA production induced by 30 min reoxygenation after 45 min anoxia.The results indicated that there were also other potent antioxidant componentts in Salvia milliorrhiza besides Dphl and Pal. The protection of Sal A against myocardial anoxiareoxygenation inury may be mainly ascribed to its oxygen free radical scavenging activity.

Kinetics of non-catalyzed hydrolysis of tannin in high temperature liquid water

High temperature liquid water(HTLW) has drawn increasing attention as an environmentally benign medium for organic chemical reactions,especially acid-/base-catalyzed reactions. Non-catalyzed hydrolyses of gallotannin and tara tannin in HTLW for the simultaneous preparation of gallic acid(GA) and pyrogallol(PY) are under investigation in our laboratory. In this study,the hydrolysis kinetics of gallotannin and tara tannin were determined. The reaction is indicated to be a typical consecutive first-order one in which GA has formed as a main intermediate and PY as the final product. Selective decomposition of tannin in HTLW was proved to be possible by adjusting reaction temperature and time. The present results provide an important basic data and reference for the green preparation of GA and PY.

Density Functional Theory Study on Raman Spectra of Rhodamine Molecules in Different Forms

Rhodamine molecules are one of the most used dyes for applications related to Raman spectroscopy. We have systematically studied Raman spectra of Rhodamine 6G, Rhodamine 123, and Rhodamine B （RhB） molecules using density functional theory. It is found that with BP86 functional the calculated Raman spectra of cationic Rhodamine molecules are in good agreement with corresponding experimental spectra in aqueous solution. It is shown that the involvement of the counter ion, chlorine, and the specific hydrogen bonds has noticeable effects on the Raman spectra of RhB that can partially explain the observed difference between Raman spectra of RhB in solution and on gold surfaces. It also indicates that an accurate description of surface enhanced Raman scattering for Rhodamine molecules on metal surface still requires to take into account the changes induced by the interracial interactions.

Protective effects of tanshinone ⅡA derivative on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats

Tanshinone ⅡA（TSⅡA） is the major bioactive constituent of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge,a Chinese herbal medicine,which has protective effects on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion（MIR） injury.However,the cardioprotective effects of TSⅡA as well as its clinical use were limited due to its poor water solubility.The objective of this study was to evaluate whether Tanshinone ⅡA derivative（TD）,a new water soluble compound synthesized by TSⅡA and N-Methyl-D-Glucamine,had protective effects on MIR injury and what the related mechanism was.The cardioprotective effects of TD were evaluated and compared with TSⅡA in a rat MIR model.The results show that pretreatment with TD significantly alleviated inflammatory infiltration and exhibited antioxidant effect in MIR injury by reducing the activity of lactate dehydrogenase（LDH） and malondialdehyde（MDA）,decreasing expression of nuclear factor-κ-gene binding（NF-κB） and upregulating expression of heme oxygenase（HO-1）,but having no effect on the content of total superoxide dismutase（T-SOD） and m RNA expression of superoxide dismutase（SOD-1）.Thus,our study reveals that TD exerted significant protective effects on MIR injury through attenuating oxidative stress and inflammatory responses.

Pharmacokinetic investigation on nteraction between hydrophilic lithospermic acid B and lipophilic tanshinone IIA in rats:an experimental study

OBJECTIVE:To elucidate the interaction between hydrophilic lithospermic acid B and lipophilic tanshinone Ⅱ A in rats.METHODS:A reliable high-performance liquid chromatography method was adopted for simultaneous determination of lithospermic acid B and tanshinone Ⅱ A in rat plasma,through which the pharmacokinetic interaction between lithospermic acid B and tanshinone Ⅱ A by intravenous injection was investigated.RESULTS:The simultaneous intravenous injection of tanshinone Ⅱ A and lithospermic acid B significantly altered the pharmacokinetic parameters of both compounds when compared with the individual intravenous administration of each compound.The area under the concentration-time curve of tanshinone Ⅱ A and lithospermic acid B increased by 18.35 and 59.31%,respectively.The mean retention time of tanshinone Ⅱ A and lithospermic acid B increased,respectively,from 9.3 to 32.8 h and20.2 to 49.1 h.The concomitant use of tanshinoneⅡ A magnified the volume of distribution at steady state(V_(ss)) and time for the drug in the plasma to reduce the highest concentration by half(t_(1/2)) of lithospermic acid B,while at the same time the V_(ss) and t_(1/2)of tanshinone Ⅱ A changed significantly in the presence of lithospermic acid B.CONCLUSION:Lithospermic acid B and tanshinone D A interact with each other following simultaneous intravenous injection in rats and this observation may expand the clinical use of Danshen(Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae).

Manipulation of interfacial thermal conductance via Rhodamine 6G

Interfacial thermal conductance plays a sig- nificant role in the heat transfer efficiency of nanoscale systems. The thermal conductance across Al/SiO_2 inter- faces, which is subjected to the change in concentration of sandwiched Rhodamine 6G solution, is measured with time domain transient thermoreflectance technique. The thermal conductance of the interface between Al and SiO_2 logarithmically decreases with an increase in the concen- tration of the Rhodamine 6G solution. This study reveals that heat transport efficiency across an interface can be conveniently manipulated according to the demand of thermal engineering by introducing organic moleculars between both sides of the interface.
