Abstract
A phytochemical investigation on the alkaloid fractions of Sophora alopecuroides L. led to the production of 11 undescribed matrine-type alkaloids, sophaloseedlines I-S (1-11), 12 known analogs (12-23), and an unexpected artificial matrine-derived Al(III) complex (24). The corresponding structures were elucidated by the interpretation of spectroscopic analyses, quantum chemical calculation, and six instances (1-4, 18, and 24), verified by X-ray crystallography. The biological activities screening demonstrated that none of the isolates exhibited cytotoxicity against four human cancer cell lines (HepG2, A549, THP-1, and MCF-7) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) at 50 μM, while moderate anti-inflammatory activity with IC50 value from 15.6 to 47.8 μM was observed. The key structure-activity relationships of those matrine-type alkaloids for anti-inflammatory effects have been summarized. In addition, the most potent 7-epi-sophoramine (19) and aluminum sophaloseedline T (24) could effectively inhibit the release of pro-inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β), as well as the expression of iNOS and COX-2 proteins.

Abstract
Lysidrhodosides A-I (1-9), nine acylphloroglucinol glucoside derivatives along with three known analogues (10-12) were isolated from the leaves of Lysidice rhodostegia. Their structures and absolute configuration were elucidated by spectroscopic data analysis (NMR, UV, IR, HR-ESI-MS), single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and acid hydrolysis with HPLC analysis. Notably, compounds 7-9 represent the first examples of 3-methylbutyryl phloroglucinol glucoside dimers isolated from this plant. Additionally, compounds 1-12 were assessed for their inhibitory effects on nitric oxide (NO) in the LPS-induced BV-2 cells. The results showed that compounds 6 and 12 significantly inhibited the production of the inflammatory mediator NO, with an inhibitory rate of 95.96 and 91.13% at a concentration of 50 μM, respectively.

Abstract
Periodontitis is the main cause of adult tooth loss, which seriously affects oral health and acts as a high-risk factor for varieties of systemic diseases. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as glucose intolerance occurred or firstly identified during pregnancy. Prevalence of GDM is increasing over the past years worldwide. Besides adverse effects toward maternal and infant health in perinatal period, GDM also has long-term effects. Current studies have demonstrated that there is a bidirectional relationship between periodontitis and diabetes; however, the exact relationship between periodontitis and GDM remains elusive. In this paper, first reviewed the clinical association of periodontitis and GDM, and then discussed the underlying mechanisms of the two diseases, finally summarized the positive effect of periodontal therapy in controlling GDM. This paper will provide theoretical basis for the prevention diagnosis and therapy for the related diseases, promoting the maternal and infant health.

Abstract
This paper aims to investigate the hydrological response of a large-scale (8973 km2) mountainous watershed to different rainstorm spatial patterns and reforestation. Based on 32 years of observations, measurements of 184 rainstorm events and 125 sediment-producing events with complete hydrographs were analyzed. The K-means clustering method was used to classify the spatial patterns of rainstorm events in accordance with their event-based spatial rainfall characteristics. The 184 rainstorm events were classified into four spatial patterns, among which the spatial features differ significantly: (I) Spatial Pattern I (SPI) includes rainstorms with a low amount of cumulative areal rainfall (27.4 mm), the highest spatial variability (0.986), and the highest frequency; (II) Spatial Pattern II (SPII) includes rainstorms of high spatial variability (0.759) and the largest amount of local maximum daily rainfall (106.8 mm); (III) Spatial Pattern III (SPIII) includes rainstorms with a medium amount of cumulative areal rainfall (58.7 mm) and low spatial variability (0.362); and (IV) Spatial Pattern IV (SPIV) includes rainstorms with the largest amount of cumulative areal rainfall (117.2 mm) and the lowest spatial variability (0.313). Vegetation cover in the upper Du watershed was significantly improved after the implementation of the Grain-for-Green project. The average area-specific sediment yields (SSY) for the four SPs were 15.4, 65.5, 55.8, and 286.2 t km-2 before reforestation and decreased to 6.0, 59.3, 43.7 and 89.9 t km-2, respectively, after reforestation. ANOVA (analysis of variance) indicated that reforestation resulted in a significant reduction in runoff coefficient under SPIII and SPIV and a significant reduction in SSY under SPI and SPIV. A hysteresis analysis suggested that the proportion of events with a clockwise loop increased from 64.9% before reforestation to 82.1% after reforestation and that complex loops became less common during 2000-2010 under SPIV, thereby implying a reduced sediment supply.

Abstract
In this study, multi-year stormflow data collected at both catchment and plot scales on an event basis were used to evaluate the efficiency of conservation. At the catchment scale, soil loss from YDG, an agricultural catchment with no conservation measures, was compared with that from CZG, an agricultural catchment with an implementation of a range of conservation measures. With an increase of storm recurrence intervals in the order of <1, 1-2, 2-5, 5-10, 10-20, and >20 years, the mean event sediment yield was 639, 1721, 5779, 15191, 19627, and 47924 t/km(2) in YDG, and was 244, 767, 3077, 4679, 8388, and 15868 t/km(2) in CZG, which represented a reduction effectiveness of 61.8, 55.4, 46.7, 69.2, 57.2, and 66.8 %, respectively. Storm events with recurrence intervals greater than 2 years contributed about two-thirds of the total runoff and sediment in both YDG and CZG catchments. At the plot scale, soil loss from one cultivated slopeland was compared with that from five conservation plots. The mean event soil loss was 1622 t/km(2) on the cultivated slopeland, in comparison to 27.7 t/km(2) on the woodland plot, 213 t/km(2) on the grassland plot, 467 t/km(2) on the alfalfa plot, 236 t/km(2) on the terraceland plot, and 642 t/km(2) on the earthbank plot. Soil loss per unit area from all the plots was significantly less than that from the catchments for storms of all categories of recurrence intervals.
