Article Synopsis
- Edible bird's nest (EBN) is a sought-after delicacy in the Asia-Pacific, especially from Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, and carries potential medicinal value in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
- This research focuses on evaluating different methods for extracting EBN DNA in Thailand, highlighting the guanidinium isothiocyanate method as the most effective for analyzing specific gene sequences.
- The study also developed a quick identification method using amplification-refractory mutation system PCR (ARMS-PCR), successfully distinguishing between different EBN species based on their genetic profiles.
Article Synopsis
- * A study analyzed 42 bird's nest samples from different regions to identify their origins using genetic sequencing and a specific PCR-RFLP method, which revealed five distinct origins.
- * The research developed a reliable method for differentiating between species and subspecies of birds, specifically Aerodramus fuciphagus, ensuring better quality control of EBN products.
Acute lung injury (ALI), which is mainly triggered by infection, pneumonia, vasculitis, and sepsis, has no specific and effective therapy except for primary supportive treatment or bedside care. Excessive inflammation caused by innate immune cells is the major characteristic of ALI. Forsythoside B, a phenylethanoside compound, possesses good antioxidant and anti-bacterial properties in vivo and in vitro.
