Response of Typical Shrubs Growth and Soil Nutrients to Graphene Addition in Impoverished Land of the Ulan Buh Desert.

Graphene can promote plant growth and improve soil conditions, but its effectiveness in enhancing infertile soils in arid regions remains unclear. This study selected three typical shrubs from the Ulan Buh Desert , , and as research subjects. Five graphene addition levels were set: 0 mg/L (C0), 25 mg/L (C1), 50 mg/L (C2), 100 mg/L (C3), and 200 mg/L (C4).

Analysis of the liver-gut axis including metabolomics and intestinal flora to determine the protective effects of kiwifruit seed oil on CCl-induced acute liver injury.

The hepatoprotective effects of kiwifruit seed oil (KSO) were evaluated on acute liver injury (ALI) induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl) . Network pharmacology was used to predict active compounds and targets. Metabolomics and gut microbiota analyses were used to discover the activity mechanism of KSO.

The Effect of Polysaccharide on Immunization Analyzed by Intestinal Flora and Proteomics.

Proteomics and intestinal flora were used to determine the mechanism of immune modulatory effects of polysaccharide on immunosuppressed mice. The results showed that compared with the model group, polysaccharide could increase thymus and spleen indices and improve thymus tissue structure in mice; IL-2 and IL-4 contents were significantly increased and IL-6 and TNF-α contents were significantly decreased; serum acid phosphatase (ACP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) activities were increased ( < 0.05); in the liver, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities were increased ( < 0.

Optimization of Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction of Monoterpene Glycoside from Oil Peony Seed Cake.

Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) of total monoterpene glycosides extract (TMGE) from oil peony seed cakes was investigated. The extraction yield was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). The chemical constituents of the monoterpene glycosides extract were isolated by repeated column chromatography, and the contents of the main isolated monoterpene glycosides in the oil peony seed cakes were determined by HPLC.
