[Remediation Effect and Mechanism of Biochar in Combination with Nitrogen Fertilizer on Cd-contaminated Paddy Soil].

Cadmium (Cd) heavy metal pollution has posed serious threats to soil health and the safe production utilization of agricultural products. A pot experiment was conducted to study the effects of biochar (BC) and nitrogen fertilizer with three levels, namely 2.6 g·pot (N1), 3.

Tripterine: A Potential Anti-Allergic Compound.

Background: Tripterine (TRI), an active monomer in Tripterygium wilfordii, has significant pharmacological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive and anti-tumor activities. TRI may be used to treat allergic diseases because of its characteristics of immunosuppression.

Objective: This study aims to explore the anti-allergic effect of TRI.

Removal of heavy metal ions and anionic dyes from aqueous solutions using amide-functionalized cellulose-based adsorbents.

An efficient, ecofriendly, amide-functionalized cellulose-based porous adsorbent was synthesized by a cross-linking reaction between cellulose filament fibers and bisacrylamide at room temperature. This process is simple, fast and inexpensive, and has significant potential for industrial applications. The prepared material has numerous adsorption sites, resulting in the highly efficient removal of anionic dyes and copper ions from aqueous media.

[Research on anticancer activity of isocorydine and its derivatives].

Isocorydine and its analogs were extracted from Dicranostigma leptopodum and Stephania yunnanensis through the method of natural products chemistry. Its derivatives were prepared by chemical structure modifications from isocorydine. MTT method was used to study the inhibitory effect of those compounds on the growth of HepG2, HeLa and MGC-803 cancer cell lines in vitro.

iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomic analysis in vernalization-treated faba bean (Vicia faba L.).

Vernalization is classically defined as the induction of flowering process by exposure of the plants to a prolonged cold condition. Normally, it is considered as a precondition of flowering. Vicia faba, commonly known as faba bean, belongs to family Fabaceae.

Development of immune-affinity 96 spots monolith array for multiple mycotoxins detection in food samples.

In this paper, a novel highly sensitive chemiluminescence immune-affinity 96 spots monolith array was developed to detect deoxynivalenol (DON), zearalenone (ZEN), T-2 toxin (T-2), and fumonisin B1 (FB1) in corn samples. Firstly, the monolith array was prepared through on suit UV-initiated copolymerization using polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) as cross-linker, glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) as functional monomer and polyethylene glycol 200 (PEG 200) as the porogen. Subsequently, the four mycotoxins immune-affinity monolith array was prepared by immobilization of DON, ZEN, T-2, and FB1 antibody.
