Traditionally, fresh flowers (SJF) and flowers buds (SJFB) are dried prior to further processing and use. Here, we investigated the ways in which drying techniques, including sun drying (SD), steam drying (STD), microwave drying (MD), hot air drying (HAD, 40 °C, 60 °C, 80 °C, 100 °C), and freeze drying (FD), alter the flavonoid composition of freshly-harvested SJF and SJFB. The flavonoid content of dried samples was determined by Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Diode Array Detector (UPLC-DAD).

Background: Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging provides a unique, noninvasive diagnostic platform to quantify the physiological and biochemical variables of skeletal muscle at rest. This study was to investigate the difference in thigh skeletal muscles between snowboarding halfpipe athletes and healthy volunteers via multiparametric MR imaging.

Methods: A comparative study was conducted between 12 healthy volunteers and 14 snowboarding halfpipe athletes.

Article Synopsis
  • Ranae Oviductus is economically and socially valuable, but its market is complicated by numerous adulterants, leading to confusion.
  • Researchers utilized DNA barcoding technology, based on the COI sequence, to identify four species of Rana frogs and created a COI gene database for them.
  • The study confirmed that DNA barcoding accurately differentiates the original species of R. oviductus and proposed it as a reliable method for its identification, though it couldn't distinguish between male and female frogs.
