Article Synopsis
  • - The study focuses on the biological traits of Dorysthenes hydropicus within Cirtus grandis farms to provide evidence for its management and control.
  • - The research discovered that D. hydropicus reproduces every 1-2 years, overwinters as larvae, and exhibits a significant population size, with females capable of laying up to 543 eggs, mainly hatching late June to early July.
  • - The findings indicate that D. hydropicus poses a significant threat to Cirtus grandis, leading to the death of thousands of trees annually, highlighting the need for effective prevention strategies.

Two new compounds, 8-(1,1-dimethylallyl)-5'-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)-3',4',5,7-tetrahydroxyflanvonol (1), 3'-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)-3',4',7-trihydroxyflavane (2) and three known compounds 3,3',4',5,7-pentahydroxyflavone (3), uralenol (4), broussochalcone A (5) were isolated from the roots of Broussonetia papyrifera, and their structures determined by spectroscopic methods. Compounds 1, 3, 4 and 5 significantly show the inhibitory activities against the PTP1B enzyme.

Background: It has been hypothesised that change in the family environment affects short-term recovery from schizophrenia.

Method: Observation and study of 210 schizophrenic patients who were influenced by family environmental alteration show that the prognosis of schizophrenia caused suddenly by family environmental alteration is better than that of schizophrenia caused by a persistently unfavourable family environment.

Results: Hence, we think sudden family environmental alterations do not cause psychorrhoea, but slow family environmental alteration may cause change in the mental state of patients.
