Article Synopsis
- - Excessive consumption of high-caffeine tea poses health risks, prompting the need for low-caffeine tea cultivars, such as the wild cocoa tea (Chang), which typically has little or no caffeine.
- - Research showed substantial variation in caffeine levels and other chemicals among seed-propagated cocoa tea plants, with some having caffeine levels comparable to regular cultivated teas, indicating that not all cocoa tea seedlings are suitable for producing low-caffeine tea.
- - The study suggests isolating cocoa tea plants used for seed harvesting to minimize hybridization with high-caffeine teas and points out that certain cocoa tea seedlings with lower caffeine and higher amino acids may be viable candidates for developing less-caffeinated green tea cultivars.
Catechins are a cluster of polyphenolic bioactive components in green tea. Anticarcinogenic effects of tea catechins have been reported since the 1980s, but it has been controversial. The present paper reviews the advances in studies on the anticarcinogenic activities of tea and catechins, including epidemiological evidence and anticarcinogenic mechanism.

WPCBs were ground to dissociate, and impurities in the dissociated product were removed by gradient flotation to recover valuable metals in this study. The effects of crushing methods on size composition and dissociation state of the crushed products were studied.

A systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-RCTs was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pain control of adductor canal block (ACB) and femoral nerve block (FNB) after TKA.Relevant literatures about the ACB and FNB after TKA for reducing pain were searched from Medline (1996-January, 2015), Embase (1980-January, 2015), PubMed (1980-January, 2015), Web of Science (1980-January, 2015), and The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials.

The results showed that there exists the supra-molecule interaction between base groups on DNA and vitamin B(6) by forming hydrogen binding, the binding equilibrium constant of the interaction is equal to 115.3 M(-1), the binding ratio of nucleotide to vitamin B(6) is 5:1.

Objective: To evaluate the expression and clinical significance of Endostatin, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and fibroblast growth factor basic-2 (FGF-2) in the laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC).
Methods: The expression of Endostatin, VEGF and FGF-2 in 50 specimens of LSCC, 40 specimens of para-carcinoma and 10 specimens of normal laryngeal tissues were examined by Flow cytometry.
Results: Compared with para-carcinoma and normal laryngeal tissues, the expression level and positive rate of Endostatin, VEGF, FGF-2 in LSCC were different in statistics (P < 0.
