Cardamomin Inhibits the Proliferation and Tumorigenesis of Bladder Cancer by ESR1 in PI3K/AKT Pathway.

Cardamomin has been widely studied in cancer, but its role in cancer bladder cancer has not been mentioned. In this study, we validated the anti-cancer effect of cardamom and whether its potential mechanism is related to the PI3K/AKT pathway. After treating with different doses of cardamomin, the cytotoxicity was studied by CCK8.

Effect of Shading on Physiological Attributes and Proteomic Analysis of Tea during Low Temperatures.

Shading is an important technique to protect tea plantations under abiotic stresses. In this study, we analyzed the effect of shading (SD60% shade vs. SD0% no-shade) on the physiological attributes and proteomic analysis of tea leaves in November and December during low temperatures.

Effect of shading on physiological attributes and comparative transcriptome analysis of cultivar reveals tolerance mechanisms to low temperatures.

Tea is a vital beverage crop all over the world, including in China. Low temperatures restrict its growth, development, and terrestrial distribution, and cold event variability worsens cold damage. However, the physiological and molecular mechanisms of under shade in winter remain unclear.

Prediction of Tea Polyphenols, Free Amino Acids and Caffeine Content in Tea Leaves during Wilting and Fermentation Using Hyperspectral Imaging.

The withering and fermentation degrees are the key parameters to measure the processing technology of black tea. The traditional methods to judge the degree of withering and fermentation are time-consuming and inefficient. Here, a monitoring model of the biochemical components of tea leaves based on hyperspectral imaging technology was established to quantitatively judge the withering and fermentation degrees of fresh tea leaves.

Red and Blue Light Affect the Formation of Adventitious Roots of Tea Cuttings () by Regulating Hormone Synthesis and Signal Transduction Pathways of Mature Leaves.

Light is an important environmental factor which affects plant growth, through changes of intensity and quality. In this study, monochromatic white (control), red (660 nm), and blue (430 nm) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) were used to treat tea short cuttings. The results showed the most adventitious roots in blue light treated tea cuttings, but the lowest roots in that treated by red light.

Prevalence, Predictors, and Clinical Presentation of Acute Pericardial Effusion Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

Iatrogenic pericardial effusion (PE) has been demonstrated to lead to cardiac injury as a sign of systemic inflammatory response. This study sought to determine the anatomical characteristics and clinical presentation associated with PE after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) by using echocardiography. The clinical outcomes of all patients with coronary artery disease who underwent PCI from July 2014 to December 2018 were evaluated.

Effect of Medium Supplements on Agrobacterium rhizogenes Mediated Hairy Root Induction from the Callus Tissues of Camellia sinensis var. sinensis.

Tea (Camellia sinensis L.) is recalcitrant to Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation largely due to the bactericidal effects of tea polyphenols and phenolics oxidation induced by necrosis of explant tissue over the process of transformation. In this study, different antioxidants/adsorbents were added as supplements to the co-cultivation and post co-cultivation media to overcome these problems for the transformation improvement.
