Background: Paris yunnanensis (Melanthiaceae) is a traditional Chinese medicinal plant of significant pharmaceutical importance. Due to previous taxonomic confusion, a congeneric species, Paris liiana, has been mistaken for P. yunnanensis and cultivated on a large scale, leading to the mixing of commercial products (i.

Article Synopsis
- Sivelestat, a neutrophil elastase inhibitor, is being evaluated for its potential benefits in preventing acute lung injury (ALI) in patients who have undergone emergent cardiovascular surgery, contrasting previous studies focusing on scheduled cardiac surgeries.
- A study analyzed 665 patients, comparing 52 individuals who received sivelestat with 613 controls, and further narrowed the comparison using a propensity score matching method.
- Results indicated that while sivelestat did not significantly affect overall adverse outcomes like 30-day mortality, it notably reduced the incidence of pneumonia and mechanical ventilation time, suggesting it may provide important pulmonary protection post-surgery.
The genus in the broad concept is an economically important group in the monocotyledonous family Melanthiaceae (tribe Parideae). The phylogeny of was controversial in previous morphology-based classification and molecular phylogeny. Here, the complete cp genomes of eleven taxa were sequenced, to better understand the evolutionary relationships among these plants and the mutation patterns in their chloroplast (cp) genomes.
