Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effects of Kaixin Powder (KXP) on behavior and brain tissue in mice undergoing chemotherapy to understand how it may reduce cognitive impairment related to cancer treatment.
  • Thirty female BALB/c mice with breast cancer were divided into three groups for testing, including behavioral assessments and various pathological examinations to evaluate the impact of KXP compared to chemotherapy.
  • Results showed that KXP significantly improved behavior and cognition in mice, reduced neuroinflammation and cell death in the brain, and altered RNA expression profiles, suggesting its potential to mitigate cognitive damage during chemotherapy.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated how nitrogen (N) deposition and litter manipulation affect soil organic carbon (SOC) and enzyme activities in rubber plantations on Hainan Island through a micro-plot experiment with varying N additions and litter treatments.
  • Results indicated that increasing nitrogen reduced soil pH and altered nitrogen forms in the soil, with significant interactions observed between nitrogen levels and litter management.
  • Litter removal led to a substantial decrease in soil organic carbon components, particularly in the top 0-10 cm soil layer, while enzyme activities fluctuated with changes in nitrogen levels and litter treatments, showcasing their complex interdependencies.

With the common urea split application (CU) as the control, a field experiment was conducted to examine the effects of loss-controlled urea by split application (LCUS) and loss-controlled urea by basal application (LCUB) on ammonia volatilization (NH), nitrogen (N) nutrition status, grain yield and N utilization efficiency in rice plants. The results showed that the ratio of NH volatilization loss to total N application were 15.8%, 13.

Chinese Herbal Formulation, supplement energy and nourish lung (SENL), effectively enhances chemotherapeutic efficacy in lung cancer treatment and reverses multi-drug resistance (MDR) in lung cancer cells in vitro. The present study is designed to assess the effect of a New SENL (NSENL, modification of SENL) formulation on resistance to chemotherapy of cisplatin (DDP)-resistant human lung cancer cell line (A549/DDP) xenografts in nude mice. We assessed six constituents in NSENL by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
