Article Synopsis
- The study compared various treatments of leaf-spraying solutions on the medicinal edible plant Viola inconspicua, focusing on leaf color, biomass, and microbial communities.
- The plants treated with a combination of brown sugar, urea, and KHPO water showed the healthiest leaves and the highest biomass compared to other treatments.
- Additionally, distinct metabolites were found in the different treatment groups, indicating that the best solutions enhanced amino acids and root flavonoids, while also promoting beneficial bacterial associations.
Article Synopsis
- - The text discusses the development of a new diagnostic method called closed dumbbell mediated isothermal amplification (CDA) for swiftly identifying a common respiratory pathogen in hospitals, overcoming the limitations of traditional methods like microscopy and biochemical tests, which are slow and less sensitive.
- - The CDA assay can detect as little as 1.2 × 10 ng/μL of DNA within 60 minutes, making it 100 times more sensitive than traditional real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR), with successful identification of positive samples among various tested pathogens.
- - This rapid and specific method is particularly advantageous for on-site diagnosis and clinical screening in rural areas, facilitating quicker medical responses and disease management.
The plant-colonized microbial communities have closely micro-ecological effects on host plant growth and health. There are many medicinal plants in the genus Hedyotis, but it is yet unclear about the shoot-assembled bacterial and fungal communities (SBFC) of Hedyotis plants. Hence, eight plant populations of Hedyotis diffusa (HD) and H.

Icariin (ICA) is the major active flavonoid glucoside isolated from traditional Chinese herbal Epimedium pubescens, and confirmed able to improve bone mass of OP patients.
Objective: To investigate the effect of ICA on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of bone-derived MSCs (BMSCs) from patients with OP and T2DM and uncover the potential mechanism.
In China, is widely used to treat colds, especially in the early stages of cold; the effect of taking is readily noticeable at that time. The active compounds and targets of were screened from Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology, Chinese Pharmacopoeia, and UniProt. Targets related to the initiation and progression of 2019 Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) were retrieved from Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man and GeneCards.

The present study aimed to provide a gene expression profile in MSCs from diabetic OP and investigated the potential mechanism.
Methods: The bone-derived MSC (BMSC) was isolated from OP patients complicated with or without T2DM (CON-BMSC, T2DM-BMSC).
Effect of formula factors on the properties of HPMC plant hollow capsule film.

July 2021
In order to explore the effect of the hollow capsule material formulation on the capsule glue and film formation, this study used hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), carrageenan, KCl and Tween 80 as raw materials to determine the production of HPMC hollow capsules suitable formula. The optimal process conditions are as follows: the proportions of HPMC, carrageenan, KCl and Tween 80 in the solvent (purified water) are 18% (m:V), 0.7% (m:V), 0.
