Natamycin Has an Inhibitory Effect on , the Pathogen of Chestnuts.

This research aimed to investigate natamycin's antifungal effect and its mechanism against the chestnut pathogen . Natamycin's inhibitory effects on were investigated using a drug-containing plate culture method and an in vivo assay in chestnuts and shell buckets. The antifungal mechanism of action of natamycin on was investigated by conducting staining experiments of the fungal cell wall and cell membrane.

[Immediate analgesic effect of wrist-ankle acupuncture for acute lumbago: a randomized controlled trial].

Objective: To assess the immediate analgesic effect of wrist-ankle acupuncture on acute lumbago and the relationship between the analgesic effect and the expectation of patients.

Methods: A randomized, single-blind, sham-controlled trial was designed. Sixty cases of acute lumbago were randomly divided into two groups, 30 cases in each one.

Copper(II) complexes of salicylaldehyde hydrazones: synthesis, structure, and DNA interaction.

Three hydrazone ligands, H2L1-H2L3, made from salicylaldehyde and ibuprofen- or naproxen-derived hydrazides, were prepared and transformed into the corresponding copper(II) complexes [Cu(II)L1] x H2O, [Cu(II)L2], and [(Cu(II))2(L3)2] x H2O x DMF (Scheme). The X-ray crystal structure of the last-mentioned complex was solved (Fig. 1), showing a square-planar complexation geometry, and the single units were found to form a one-dimensional chain structure (Fig.
