Amelioration of muscular spasm-induced pain of Guangtongxiao recipe in a non-everted gut sac in vitro model.

Background: The modern study of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compound recipes is a complex issue because of the large number of components in the recipes that would produce several metabolites after entering the body. The TCM compound recipes are known to have the advantage of synergistic treatment by multiple targets due to diverse components. Therefore, a research method that can reflect the overall effect of compounds with multi-components is essential.

Improving dark fermentative hydrogen production through zero-valent iron/copper (Fe/Cu) micro-electrolysis.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of zero-valent iron and copper (Fe/Cu) micro-electrolysis on dark fermentative hydrogen production from glucose by a mixed bacterial consortium and the possible mechanisms of increasing hydrogen yield.

Results: Compared to zero-valent iron and activated carbon (Fe/C) micro-electrolysis, Fe/Cu micro-electrolysis could increase hydrogen yield by 32.2%, hydrogen production potential by 27.
