The function of the Trihelix transcription factor is that it plays an important role in many abiotic stresses, especially in the signaling pathway of low temperature, drought, flood, saline, abscisic acid, methyl jasmonate, and other abiotic stresses. However, there are few studies on the Trihelix gene family of ginseng. In this study, 41 Trihelix gene family members were identified and screened from the ginseng genome database, and their physicochemical properties, cis-acting elements, subcellular localization, chromosomal assignment, and abiotic stress-induced expression patterns were analyzed by bioinformatics methods.

Hyperuricemia (HUA) is a metabolic disease caused by reduced excretion or increased production of uric acid. This research aims to study the practical components, active targets, and potential mechanism of the "Radix ginseng (RG)-Ziziphus jujube (ZJ)" herb pair through molecular docking, network pharmacology, and animal experiments. The potential targets of "Radix ginseng (RG)-Ziziphus jujube (ZJ)" herb pair were obtained from the TCMSP database.

Epimedii Folium, as a natural botanical medicine, has been reported to have protective effects on intestinal diseases by modulating multiple signaling pathways. This study aimed to explore the potential targets and molecular mechanisms of Epimedii Folium extract (EFE) against cisplatin-induced intestinal injury through network pharmacology, molecular docking, and animal experiments. Network pharmacology was used to predict potential candidate targets and related signaling pathways.

CircRNAs (circular RNAs) are a class of non-coding RNA molecules with a closed circular structure. CircRNAs are closely related to the occurrence and development of diseases. Due to the time-consuming nature of biological experiments, computational methods have become a better way to predict the interactions between circRNAs and diseases.

Objective: To establish the two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE)maps of callus induced from ginseng root,and to provide scientific method and data support for the study of secondary metabolites biosynthesis pathways of ginseng.

Methods: Total protein was extracted from ginseng callus by three different methods. The best protein extraction method of ginseng callus tissue was determined by the protein yield, purity and SDS-PAGE protein bands.
