Elucidating the Phytochemical Landscape of Leaves, Stems, and Tubers of through Integrated Metabolomics.

is a highly valued Chinese medicinal plant containing diverse bioactive compounds. While roots/tubers have been the main medicinal parts used in practice, leaves and stems may also harbor valuable phytochemicals. However, research comparing volatiles across tissues is lacking.

A review of sustainable utilization and prospect of coal gasification slag.

Currently, the storage of coal gasification slag (CGS) is continuously increasing, as the coal gasification technology develops, posing significant environmental hazards. Due to its volcanic ash characteristics and rich residual carbon, CGS has great potential for resource utilization, which has attracted the attentions of many scholars. This paper firstly introduces the compositions and properties of CGS.

Anti- activity of (L.) Gaertn. Bran flavonoids extract and its effect on -induced inflammatory response.

Tartary buckwheat flavonoids have a variety of effects on anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidation, as well as anti-tumor and are valuable for academic research and industrial application. (. ) infection is associated with various gastrointestinal diseases in humans, and an increase in its resistance has led to the failure of many drugs.

Flexible PTh/GQDs/TiO composite with superior visible-light photocatalytic properties for rapid degradation pollutants.

Flexible fiber membranes for pollutant removal have received increasing attention due to their high adsorption performance and easy recycling characteristics. However, due to the lack of environmentally friendly regeneration, some adsorption membranes have low regeneration efficiency, especially in terms of chemical adsorption, so they lack reusability. This study prepares a series of conducting polymer [PAn (polyaniline) or PPy (polypyrrole) or PTh (polythiophene)] graphene quantum dots (GQDs, the size of GQDs is about 20 nm)/TiO ternary fiber membranes a facile electrospinning method with chemical deposition.

Urolithin A Attenuates -Induced Damage In Vivo.

Urolithin A (UA) is a metabolite produced in the gut following the consumption of ellagic acid (EA) rich foods. EA has shown anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties. Because EA is poorly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, urolithins are considered to play a major role in bioactivity.

Effects of choline supplementation on liver biology, gut microbiota, and inflammation in Helicobacter pylori-infected mice.

Aims: Diet is one of the factors affecting the pathogenicity of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. Choline is a dietary component that is crucial for normal cellular function.

Abnormal methylation of PIK3AP1 was involved in regulating the immune inflammatory response of GES-1 cells induced by Helicobacter pylori.

Gastric epithelial cells (GES-1) stimulated by Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) would affect the expression of related genes and induce the immune response of the cells. Abnormal methylation of DNA was one of the main causes.

Effect of trimethylamine N-oxide on inflammation and the gut microbiota in Helicobacter pylori-infected mice.

Diet is one of the factors contributing to symptom of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), a diet-related microbial metabolite, is associated with inflammatory and metabolic diseases.

Bubble Melt Electrospinning for Production of Polymer Microfibers.

In this paper, we report an interesting bubble melt electrospinning (e-spinning) to produce polymer microfibers. Usually, melt e-spinning for fabricating ultrafine fibers needs "Taylor cone", which is formed on the tip of the spinneret. The spinneret is also the bottleneck for mass production in melt e-spinning.

One-Step Synthesis Heterostructured g-C₃N₄/TiO₂ Composite for Rapid Degradation of Pollutants in Utilizing Visible Light.

To meet the urgent need of society for advanced photocatalytic materials, novel visible light driven heterostructured composite was constructed based on graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄) and fibrous TiO₂. The g-C₃N₄/TiO₂ (CNT) composite was prepared through electrospinning technology and followed calcination process. The state of the g-C₃N₄ and fibrous TiO₂ was tightly coupled.

Discovery of Novel Inhibitors of Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase 1 Through Structure-Based Virtual Screening.

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) is an intracellular monomeric heme-containing enzyme that catalyzes the first and the rate limiting step in catabolism of tryptophan via the kynurenine (KYN) pathway, which plays a significant role in the proliferation and differentiation of T cells. IDO1 has been proven to be an attractive target for anticancer therapy and chronic viral infections. In the present study, a class of IDO1 inhibitors with novel scaffolds were identified by virtual screening and biochemical validation, in which the compound DC-I028 shows moderate IDO1 inhibitory activity with an IC of 21.

A highly stretchable humidity sensor based on spandex covered yarns and nanostructured polyaniline.

Stretchable sensors, as the important components of flexible electronic devices, have achieved progress in a variety of applications for monitoring physical or environmental conditions, such as sound, temperature, vibration, and pressure. However, it still remains a challenge to fabricate high performance stretchable humidity sensors. Herein, we present a novel stretchable humidity sensor, which was fabricated based on an ultrastretchable polyaniline composite fiber.

In situ precise electrospinning of medical glue fibers as nonsuture dural repair with high sealing capability and flexibility.

Purpose: In this work, we propose an in situ precise electrospinning of medical glue fibers onto dural wound for improving sealing capability, avoiding tissue adhesion, and saving time in dural repair.
