Cannabidiol (CBD) reportedly exerts protective effects against many psychiatric disorders and neurodegenerative diseases, but the mechanisms are poorly understood. In this study, we explored the molecular mechanism of CBD against cerebral ischemia. HT-22 cells or primary cortical neurons were subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation insult followed by reoxygenation (OGD/R).

Article Synopsis
- Rhizoma et Radix Notopterygii is a rare Chinese medicinal plant with potential conservation concerns, particularly regarding the mix-up between its two species, Notopterygium franchetii and Notopterygium forrestii.
- This study focuses on the morphological and microscopic differences between the fruits of these two species, using tools like stereomicroscopes and paraffin sections for detailed analysis.
- Key distinguishing features identified include variations in size, surface texture, number of vertical edges, as well as differences in microscopic structures, which can aid in accurate species identification and support germplasm evaluation efforts.

In the title complex, [Nd(C(5)H(3)N(2)O(2))(C(2)O(4))(H(2)O)(2)](n), the Nd(III) atom is ten-coordinated by one N atom and three O atoms from two pyrazine-2-carboxyl-ate ligands, four O atoms from two oxalate ligands and two water mol-ecules in a distorted bicapped square-anti-prismatic geometry. The two crystallographically independent oxalate ligands, each lying on an inversion center, act as bridging ligands, linking Nd atoms into an extended zigzag chain. Neighboring chains are linked by the pyrazine-2-carboxyl-ate ligands into a two-dimensional layerlike network in the (10) plane.
