Background: Periodontal disease (PD) is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting oral and systemic health. Luteolin (LUT), a natural flavonoid, has shown anti-inflammatory effects, but its therapeutic potential and mechanisms in PD remain unclear.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of LUT on PD, focusing on its impact on mitochondrial dynamics, macrophage polarization, and the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Article Synopsis
- This study monitored sap flow in four tree species in Dalian City using thermal dissipation probes, alongside measuring soil moisture and meteorological factors during the summer of 2008.
- The analysis found no significant correlation between sap flow and soil moisture, as trees experienced no water stress; however, there was a strong relationship between sap flow and solar radiation, especially during early and late parts of the day.
- Vapor pressure deficit (VPD) was identified as the main factor affecting nighttime sap flow, demonstrating a high correlation and explaining 90% of daily sap flow variations, while wind speed had a lesser but still significant impact.
