Rhizoma Bletillae, the tubes of Bletilla striata, has been traditionally used in China as a hemostatic agent. In preliminary studies, the major active fraction responsible for its hemostatic effect have been confirmed to be Rhizoma Bletillae polysaccharide (RBp), but the hemostatic mechanism of action of RBp is still unknown.The main aim of this study was to clarify its mechanism of hemostatic effect.

- The study investigates how different rainfall intensities affect water quality in the Fengyu River Watershed, focusing on nitrogen and phosphorus levels.
- Rainfall intensity impacts the concentration of nitrogen and phosphorus, with lower levels during light to moderate rain and higher levels during heavy to torrential rain.
- The results indicate that NH-N is a major component of total nitrogen, while PP makes up a larger share of total phosphorus, highlighting distinct patterns in nutrient composition based on rainfall intensity.
The source of pollutants in the Tai Lake basin and the characteristics of spatiotemporal variations were studied by conducting water quality monitoring in the Lihe River watershed to the west of Tai Lake in 2014. The dynamic changes in total phosphorus (TP), ammonia nitrogen (NH-N), and chemical oxygen demand (COD) were studied in flood and non-flood seasons at five monitoring points from upstream to downstream. The average concentrations of TP, NH-N, and COD were 0.

The results showed that the pollution level in Wuxi port is serious, with an average annual total nitrogen (TN) concentration of (4.41-5.

Methods: In vivo, rabbits subjected to atherosclerosis were treated with TMP (75 and 150 mg/kg) by oral gavage for 12 weeks. In vitro, rat aortic endothelial cells (RAECs) were stimulated by ox-LDL.
