Properties and Fungal Communities of Different Soils for Growth of the Medicinal Asian Water Plantain, , in Fujian, China.

The Asian water plantain, (Sam.) Juzep, is a traditional Chinese medicinal plant. The dried tubers of the , commonly referred to as (AR), have long been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat a variety of diseases.

Design of an ultrabroadband infrared metamaterial absorber in the atmospheric transparent window.

In order to meet the demand for broadband absorbers in the infrared transparent window of the atmosphere, we designed an ultrabroadband metamaterial absorber (MA), which is composed of a germanium-zinc sulfide-chromium-zinc sulfide (Ge-ZnS-Cr-ZnS) disk periodic array and a chromium (Cr) bottom layer. In the infrared transparent window of the atmosphere, the average absorption of the MA is as high as 99.1%, and ultrabroadband near-perfect absorption is realized.

Hypolipidemic effect of Alisma orientale (Sam.) Juzep on gut microecology and liver transcriptome in diabetic rats.

Alisma orientale (Sam.) Juzep (A. orientale) is a traditional herb that is often used to treat disease including edema and hyperlipidemia.

Construction and Analysis of circRNA-miRNA-mRNA Molecular Regulatory Networks During Herba Intoxication.

(Gardner & Champ.) Benth. (GE) has therapeutic effects for pain and malignant tumors but also has high toxicity.

Comparative transcriptome and metabolite profiling of four tissues from Alisma orientale (Sam.) Juzep reveals its inflorescence developmental and medicinal characteristics.

Alisma orientale (Sam.) Juzep (A. orientale) is an important medicinal plant in traditional Chinese medicine.

[Correlation study between accumulation of triterpenoids and expression of relative genes in Alisma orientale].

To research the correlation between accumulation of triterpenoids and expression of key enzymes genes in triterpenoid biosynthesis of Alisma orientale,the study utilized UPLC-MS/MS method to detect eight triterpenoids content in the tuber of A. orientale from different growth stages,including alisol A,alisol A 24 acetate,alisol B,alisol B 23 acetate,alisol C 23 acetate,alisol F,alisol F 24 acetate and alisol G,and then the Real time quantitative PCR was used to analyze the expression of key enzymes genes HMGR and FPPS in triterpenoid biosynthesis. Correlation analysis showed that there was a significant positive relation between the total growth of these eight triterpenoids and the average relative expression of HMGR and FPPS(HMGR: r = 0.

Distributive differences of P2Xs between the forelimb and hind limb of adjuvant arthritis rats and intervention by Notopterygh rhizoma et radix.

Context: Notopterygium incisum Ting ex H. T. Chang (Umbelliferae) (NI) specializes in treatment of upper limb rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but the exact mechanism is unclear.

Herba is detoxified by ramulus et folium extract by modulating hepatic cytochrome P450 and glutathione S-transferase enzymes in rats.

Herba (GE) has been frequently used as a Chinese folk medicine but has high acute toxicity. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it may be detoxified by Ramulus et Folium (MP), but the detoxification mechanism has remained elusive. The present study aimed to evaluate the detoxification mechanisms by which MP modulates the effect of GE in rats, including the inhibition of hepatic cytochrome P (CYP)450 and glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzymes.

Construction of a heterologous gene expression system in the banana rhizobacterium strain GW-3 and its colonization ability.

Rhizobacteria inhabiting the rhizosphere are beneficial to their host plants, and can potentially serve as biocontrol agents to control plant diseases. We isolated the rhizobacterium strain GW-3, which was the dominant bacterium in the rhizosphere soils of healthy banana plants. Then, we constructed an expression system with a kanamycin resistance gene to express a heterologous protein in GW-3.

VP5-deficient mutant virus induced protection against challenge with very virulent infectious bursal disease virus of chickens.

A mutant infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) deficient in expressing VP5, rGx-F9VP2DeltaVP5, was generated using reverse genetics technology. In comparison to the characteristics of rGx-F9VP2 virus in vitro, the mutant virus demonstrated lower viral titer and cytopathogenicity. To understand the role of VP5 in the pathogenicity of IBDV in vivo, animal experiments were conducted.

Synthesis of bisdesmosidic kryptogenyl saponins using the 'random glycosylation' strategy and evaluation of their antitumor activity.

A bisdesmosidic steroidal saponins library, composed of 16 novel kryptogenin glycosides, was set up via six random glycosylation procedures, wherein two compounds showed their antitumor activity against HeLa cell in the preliminary pharmacological research.
