Thalassospira aquimaris sp. nov. and Winogradskyella marincola sp. nov. two marine bacteria isolated from an agar-degrading co-culture.

Two novel Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, and non-motile strains, designated FZY0004 and YYF002, were isolated from an agar-degrading co-culture, which was obtained from seawater of the intertidal zone of Yancheng City, the Yellow Sea of China. Strain FZY0004 optimally grew at 28 °C, pH 7.0, and 2-6% NaCl, while strain YYF002 optimally grew at 28 °C, pH 7.

Jianpi-Tiaoqi decoction inhibits tumour proliferation and lung metastasis in tumour-bearing mice with triple-negative breast cancer.

Traditional Chinese medicine, specifically the Jianpi Tiaoqi (JPTQ) decoction, has been explored for its role in treating breast cancer, particularly in inhibiting lung metastasis in affected mice. Our study evaluated the effects of JPTQ on several factors, including tumour growth, apoptosis, angiogenesis, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and immune microenvironment regulation. We used bioluminescence imaging to observe in situ tumour growth and potential lung metastasis.

Statistical experimental design optimization of rhamsan gum production by Sphingomonas sp. CGMCC 6833.

Rhamsan gum is a type of water-soluble exopolysaccharide produced by species of Sphingomonas bacteria. The optimal fermentation medium for rhamsan gum production by Sphingomonas sp. CGMCC 6833 was explored definition.

[Treatment of antipsychotics induced mild hepatic damage by Dangfei Liganning Tablet: an efficacy observation].

Objective: To observe the therapeutic efficacy of Dangfei Liganning Tablet (DLT) in the treatment of antipsychotics induced mild hepatic damage.

Methods: Totally 80 mental inpatients with antipsychotics induced mild liver injury were randomly assigned to two groups, the treatment group (40 cases) and the control group (40 cases). Patients in the treatment group took DLT, two tablets each time, three times per day, while those in the control group took Liver-protecting Tablet (LT), four tablets each time, three times per day.

Rhamsan gum production by Sphingomonas sp. CGMCC 6833 using a two-stage agitation speed control strategy.

Varying the agitation speed could greatly affect rhamsan gum production by Sphingomonas sp. CGMCC 6833. Batch fermentations at agitation speeds of 400, 600, 800, and 1,000 rpm were therefore carried out.

Production of rhamsan gum using a two-stage pH control strategy by Sphingomonas sp. CGMCC 6833.

In this paper, the production of rhamsan gum from Sphingomonas sp. CGMCC 6833 at different pH values was investigated. Based on kinetic analysis, a two-stage strategy for pH control was proposed.

In the title one-dimensional coordination polymer, {[Eu(C(9)H(4)N(2)O(4))(C(9)H(5)N(2)O(4))(H(2)O)(3)]·2H(2)O}(n), one of the 1H-benzimidazole-5,6-dicarboxyl-ate (Hbdc) ligands is protonated at the imidazole group (H(2)bdc). The Eu(III) ion is eight-coordinated by two O atoms from two Hbdc ligands, three O atoms from two H(2)bdc ligands and three water mol-ecules, showing a distorted square-anti-prismatic geometry. The Eu(III) ions are bridged by the carboxyl-ate groups of the Hbdc and H(2)bdc ligands, forming a chain along [110], with an Eu⋯Eu separation of 5.

In the title coordination polymer, [Ag(C(14)H(8)NO(2))](n), the Ag(I) cation is coordinated by two O atoms and one N atom from two symmetry-related acridine-9-carboxyl-ate ligands in a distorted trigonal-planar geometry. The metal atoms are connected by the ligands to form chains running parallel to the b axis. π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-to-centroid distances 3.
