Article Synopsis
  • This study explores how combining a hydrogen-producing microbiome with phytoremediation improves the breakdown of diesel in contaminated soil, focusing on enhanced enzyme activity.
  • Key soil changes included increased moisture from 12.5% to 20%, a shift in pH to an alkaline level of 8.0-8.5, and improved organic matter, all supporting microbial activity.
  • The combined approach achieved a 78.1% reduction in total petroleum hydrocarbons, significantly outperforming traditional methods, while also boosting microbial populations and Bermuda grass survival rates.

Aim: To investigate the antiepileptic effect of dizocilpine (MK-801) on amygdala kindling models in rats and the effects of its combination with general antiepileptic drugs.

Methods: To establish amygdala kindling models in rats and observe the effect of dizocilpine on kindling models and its combination with general antiepileptic drugs (phenobarbital, valproate and nicardipine) at ineffective dose. The influence of dizocilpine on convulsions induced by semicarbazide (SCZ) in mice were also observed.

Aim: To study the protective effect of the polypeptide isolated from Chlamys farreri (PCF) on hairless mice skin damaged by ultraviolet A.

Methods: Enzymes and malondialdehyde (MDA) were determined by biochemical methods; the expressions of Bcl-2 protein and NOS protein were examined by immunohistochemical technique. The ultra-structure of the skin was observed through electronic microscope.
