Phenolic Acids Derivatives from Meehania Fargesii with Anti-inflammation Effects.

Utilizing systematic plant chemistry separation techniques, two previously unreported phenolic acids (1-2) and eighteen (3-20) phenolic acids were isolated from 70 % ethanol extract of Meehania fargesii var. radicans (Vaniot) C.Y.

From Tea to Health: Exploring for Liver Protection and Unraveling Its Potential Mechanisms.

Hance is a characteristic medicinal herb which is used in Guangdong and Guangxi provinces of China for making soup, medicinal meals, and herbal tea to treat dampheat jaundice and rib discomfort. Current phytochemical study on led to the isolation of four new flavones, mollisone A-D (-), and thirty two known compounds (-). Their structures were characterized by an extensive analysis of spectroscopic data including IR, UV, HR-ESI-MS, and 1D and 2D NMR, as well as electronic circular dichroism calculation.

Design and fabrication of a novel passive hand tremor attenuator.

Parkinson's disease is most highly recognised by tremors of the hands that occur in those afflicted with the disease. Though the symptoms of Parkinson's disease involving motor function begin with very slight tremors of the hands, they further develop into issues such as difficulty swallowing, severe postural problems and extremely limited mobility. In this study, a method of reducing these tremors that appear during the early stages of the disease is developed by creating a wearable passive device that reduces vibrations of the hand and arm through the use of magnetic actuators.
