“…From this separation, the 95% EE fraction (16.03 g) was chromatographed on a silica-gel column (200-300 mesh) with petroleum ether-EtOAc in a stepwise gradient elution (50:1-0:100). The eluates were combined based on the TLC results in order to produce 8 fractions (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8).…”

Abstract. Flavonoids have been demonstrated to have cytotoxic activities toward numerous human cancer cells, whereas they have little or no effect on normal cells. The numerous flavonoids in traditional Chinese herbs may be promising candidates for the development of novel anti-cancer drugs. Our previous study demonstrated that CH 2 Cl 2 and 95% ethanol eluate (EE) fractions have the strongest cytotoxic activities against human cancer cell lines of the 9 fractions separated from Artemisia sacrorum Ledeb., which is widely used to prevent and treat diverse diseases in Northeast China. In the present study, 8 flavonoids were isolated from the 95% EE fraction of Artemisia sacrorum Ledeb. The chemical structures of the compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses. The following 5 flavonoids were isolated for the first time from this plant: Jaceosidin, kaempferol, quercetin, luteolin and quercitrin. A total of 2 flavonoids from the CH 2 Cl 2 fraction and 8 flavonoids from the 95% EE fraction were examined to evaluate their cytotoxic activities against human SK-HEP-1 hepatoma cancer cells and human HeLa cervical cancer cells, respectively. The results revealed that 2 flavonoids had marked cytotoxic activities against HeLa cells.

“…A long time before the birth of modern Western medicine, traditional medicinal recipes were handed down orally generation by generation in many parts of the world [3]. Given that TCM is a practical medicine built on experience, and has been mainly practiced and researched in China [4,5], the essence of TCM has always been the most advanced and experienced medicine in the world [6]. Moreover, scientists proved that TCM can coexist with Western medicine [3,7].…”

Machine learning-based remote-sensing techniques have been widely used for the production of specific land cover maps at a fine scale. P-learning is a collection of machine learning techniques for training the class descriptors on the positive samples only. Panax notoginseng is a rare medicinal plant, which also has been a highly regarded traditional Chinese medicine resource in China for hundreds of years. Until now, Panax notoginseng has scarcely been observed and monitored from space. Remote sensing of natural resources provides us new insights into the resource inventory of Chinese materia medica resources, particularly of Panax notoginseng. Generally, land-cover mapping involves focusing on a number of landscape classes. However, sometimes a subset or one of the classes will be the only part of interest. In term of this study, the Panax notoginseng field is the right unit class. Such a situation makes single-class data descriptors (SCDDs) especially significant for specific land-cover interpretation. In this paper, we delineated the application such that a stack of SCDDs were trained for remote-sensing mapping of Panax notoginseng fields through P-learning. We employed and compared SCDDs, i.e., the simple Gaussian target distribution, the robust Gaussian target distribution, the minimum covariance determinant Gaussian, the mixture of Gaussian, the auto-encoder neural network, the k-means clustering, the self-organizing map, the minimum spanning tree, the k-nearest neighbor, the incremental support vector data description, the Parzen density estimator, and the principal component analysis; as well as three ensemble classifiers, i.e., the mean, median, and voting combiners. Experiments demonstrate that most SCDDs could achieve promising classification performance. Furthermore, this work utilized a set of the elaborate samples manually collected at a pixel-level by experts, which was intended to be a benchmark dataset for the future work. The measuring performance of SCDDs gives us challenging insights to define the selection criteria and scoring proof for choosing a fine SCDD in mapping a specific landscape class. With the increment of remotely sensed satellite data of the study area, the spatial distribution of Panax notoginseng could be continuously derived in the local area on the basis of SCDDs.

“…Is there a way or principle of selecting drugs for more accurate treatment for rheumatoid arthritis patients? Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) gained afflatus from war that similar principles dominate in both military and medicine that is to prescribe drugs according to military action strategies or country governance [7,8]. For example, it is recorded in Yellow Emperor (Huangdi Neijing) that army force should be prepared to eliminate invasion, it would be too late to establish military force when an invasion is breaking out.…”

This paper illustrates "monarch, minister, assistant and envoy" principle of traditional Chinese medicine through clinical treatment guideline of rheumatoid arthritis. The conception can promote the precise treatment in rheumatoid arthritis management, and prevent side effects of drugs consciously. To applicant the "monarch, minister, assistant and envoy" principle to direct clinical drug options for rheumatoid arthritis may facilitate a more flexible, safer, and less drug intake.
