Mechanism of baixiangdan capsules on anti-neuroinflammation: combining dry and wet experiments.

Neuroinflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of neurological disorders, and despite intensive research, treatment of neuroinflammation remains limited. BaiXiangDan capsule (BXD) is widely used in clinical practice. However, systematic studies on the direct role and mechanisms of BXD in neuroinflammation are still lacking.

Proteomic and metabolomic analyses showing the differentially accumulation of NnUFGT2 is involved in the petal red-white bicolor pigmentation in lotus (Nelumbo nucifera).

Bicolor flower lotus is rare with high ornamental value. During the long history of breeding and artificial selection, a very famous lotus cultivar 'Da Sajin' with red and white picotee bicolor petals were obtained. In order to reveal the mechanism underlying the formation of its picotee bicolor pattern in the petal, an integrative metabolomics and proteomics analyses were conducted between red and white parts of its petals.

An adaptive acoustoelectric signal decoding algorithm based on Fourier fitting for brain function imaging.

Acousticelectric brain imaging (ABI), which is based on the acoustoelectric (AE) effect, is a potential brain function imaging method for mapping brain electrical activity with high temporal and spatial resolution. To further enhance the quality of the decoded signal and the resolution of the ABI, the decoding accuracy of the AE signal is essential. An adaptive decoding algorithm based on Fourier fitting (aDAF) is suggested to increase the AE signal decoding precision.

Metabolomic Analysis on the Petal of 'Chen Xi' Rose with Light-Induced Color Changes.

Flower color is one of the most prominent traits of rose flowers and determines their ornamental value. The color of the "Chen Xi" rose can change from yellow to red during flower blooming. In the present study, the flavonoid metabolites were investigated by the UPLC-ESI-MS/MS from the petals of four successive flower development stages under natural conditions.

A bHLH gene NnTT8 of Nelumbo nucifera regulates anthocyanin biosynthesis.

Lotus is an important aquatic ornamental plant, whose flower color is one of the key horticultural traits that determines its ornamental value. Previous studies revealed that anthocyanins largely determined the red color of lotus flower, which are also the main component that has beneficial effects on human health. However, the regulation mechanism of flower pigmentation in lotus flower remains unclear.

Acoustoelectric Signal Decoding Based on Fourier Approximation.

The acoustoelectric (AE) effect is that ultrasonic wave causes the conductivity of electrolyte to change in local position. AE imaging is an imaging method that utilizes AE effect. The decoding accuracy of AE signal is of great significance to improve the decoded signal quality and resolution of AE imaging.
