Objectives: To conduct a comprehensive review of the literature pertaining to the broader autism phenotype, the paper endeavors to delineate the key research directions and topics, document the current research trends, and furnish insightful analyses and novel perspectives to foster future advancements in the field, with the aid of CiteSpace and VOS viewer.
Methods: CiteSpace and VOS viewer are two kinds of software for visualizing citations that is intended to examine academic literature and identify possible sources of knowledge. The Web of Science Core Collection database was used to retrieve articles from 1994 to 2024 that discussed the autism phenotype in general.
Previous studies on L. have shown the existence of coumarins and their anti-inflammatory effect. Phytochemical work was conducted to investigate the bioactive compounds, leading to the isolation of two undescribed benzopyran derivatives, namely ranunsceleroside A () and B (), together with two known coumarins (, ) from the whole plant of L.

The results showed that both the aqueous extract and the methanol extract had significant radical scavenging activity. The half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC) of the aqueous extract on DPPH-free radical and hydroxyl radical are 0.

We found that the contents of crude protein, polysaccharides, and macroelements were highest in mycelia, whereas effective components, including mannitol, ergosterol, adenosine, inosine, Zn, and Se, were lowest in mycelia. Polysaccharide, mannitol, and ergosterol levels in synnemata (2.

This study is aimed to establish a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for simultaneous determination of chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, 1,3-dicaffeoylquinic acid, 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid, luteolin-7-O-beta-D-glucoside, 3,4-dicaffeoylquinic acid, linarin and luteolin in Chrysanthemum indicum. The separation was carried out on a Shim pack VP-ODS (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 microm) column eluting with mobile phases of methanol (A) and water containing 0.

We established a depressed rat model using 3 consecutive weeks of chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS). The antidepressant-like effect of OG was revealed using the sucrose preference test, the open field test, the forced swimming test (FST), and the tail suspension test (TST).

Total flavonoids from Litsea coreana (TFLC), an active component extracted from Litsea coreana leve, have been shown to have therapeutic effects on hyperlipidemia. The present study was to evaluate the protective effects of TFLC on alcoholic fatty liver (AFL) in rats, and investigate the potential mechanism.

Methods: YPF-P was prepared from root of Astragalus membranaceus, rhizome of Atractylodes macrocephaia and root of Raidix saposhnikoviae, and compared with polysaccharide from root of Astragalus membranaceus (AP). Hepatic fibrosis was induced by subcutaneous injection with carbon tetrachloride twice weekly for 12 weeks in Sprague-Dawley rats.
This study was initiated to determine the possible antidiabetic effects of total flavonoids of Litsea Coreana leve (TFLC), an alcohol extract from the dried leaves of Litsea Coreana leve, on type 2 diabetic rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 40, 160-180 g) were divided into two groups and fed with normal chow diet (Normal Control group) or high-fat diet (HFD) for a period of 4 weeks. After 4 weeks of dietary manipulation, the HFD-fed rats were injected with 30 mg/kg streptozocin (STZ) to induce diabetes 72 hours after STZ injection.

Materials And Methods: Rats were given either a high fat diet alone or the same diet plus TFLC for 4 weeks.
Results: TFLC improved liver histology with reduced serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), as well as decreased the over accumulation lipids in serum and liver.
Chrysanthemum is a traditional Chinese medicine used in China to treat inflammatory diseases. The total flavonoids Chrysanthemum indicum (TFC) were extracted from the dried bud of Chrysanthemum indicum. Our previous study had demonstrated that TFC was a new class of effective anti-inflammation, analgesia and immunoloregulation agents.

To test whether the fractioned polysaccharides (YPF-P) isolated from YP have immunomodulating activities, the effects of YPF-P on cyclophosphamide (Cy)-treated mice were studied in relation to phagocytosis of macrophage, splenocyte proliferation, and humoral, and cellular immunity parameters. It was found that YPF-P enhances phagocytic activity, augments ConA- or LPS-stimulated T cell proliferation, increases the quantitative haemolysis of SRBC (QHS) and delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction (DTH) to dinitrofluorobenzene.
