Wild Chinese prickly ash resources provide a valuable genetic resource for Zanthoxylum bungeanum Maxim improvement and breeding. The Qinling Mountains was an abundant source for wild Chinese prickly ash. In this study, the phenolic and flavonoid compounds of wild germplasm resources from different altitudes and six cultivated varieties were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

The data revealed that the contents of limonene and linalool in peels from southwest and northwest regions were higher, and the aroma was stronger, while the contents of β-myrcene and (E)-ocimene in them from north, east and central China were higher, and the spicy flavor was heavier. Hierarchical cluster analysis demonstrated that the classification had geographical continuity.

- The study aimed to assess long-term eye problems in patients with symblepharon resulting from eye burns and to create a grading system for severity.
- It analyzed 79 eyes, categorizing chronic issues into three groups and grading them from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating more severe conditions.
- The results showed a clear link between higher severity scores and poorer visual outcomes, more complex surgical needs, and worse prognoses, highlighting the need for this grading system in treatment planning.
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a newly appreciated participant in physiological and biochemical regulation in plants. However, whether H2S is involved in the regulation of plant responses to drought stress remains unclear. Here, the role of H2S in the regulation of drought stress response in Spinacia oleracea seedlings is reported.

The neuroprotective effects of propofol against IBI have been previously demonstrated. However, the neuroprotective effects of propofol on hippocampal neurons are not yet entirely clear.

- The study aimed to investigate how different types of conditioned media affect the growth of corneal endothelial cells (CECs) and identify which media is most effective.
- Rat CECs and other cell types were cultured in vitro, and the effects of conditioned media from corneal stromal cells, bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells, and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells were analyzed for their influence on cell morphology and gene/protein expression.
- Results showed that CECs retained their healthy shape and exhibited increased expression of vital proteins in the presence of conditioned media, with the strongest proliferation effect observed from the conditioned media of corneal stromal cells.
Objective: We conducted a case-control study with 322 cases and 322 controls to assess the role of the two common SNPs in the promoter of IL-18 gene.
Methods: Polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length of polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was taken to genotype -607A/C and -137C/G in the promoter of the IL-18 gene.
Results: By comparing cases and control subjects, we found that IS cases were more likely to have higher BMI, higher proportion of hypertension, and have higher proportion of smokers and drinkers.
