The complexity of biomass components leads to significant variations in the performance of biomass-based carbon dots (CDs). To shed light on this matter, this study presents a comparative analysis of the fluorescence properties of CDs using pure cellulose, lignin, and protein as models. Three CDs showed different fluorescent properties, resulting from the structure difference and carbonization behavior in the hydrothermal.

SCSIO 41400. The planar structures of all compounds were determined from analysis of NMR spectra, MS, optical rotation and comparing with literature data.

- Taohong Siwu Decoction (THSWD) is a traditional Chinese medicine that may help improve blood circulation and combat renal fibrosis, particularly in cases of IgA nephropathy (IgAN), although the exact mechanism isn’t fully understood.
- Researchers used network pharmacology to identify 61 active ingredients and 240 targets in THSWD, focusing on the role of the ERK factor in relation to IgAN fibrosis.
- Experimental results indicated that THSWD significantly reduced the activity of fibroblasts by lowering ERK1/2 mRNA and phosphorylated ERK1/2 protein levels, suggesting its potential as a treatment option for delaying fibrosis progression.
Objective: To study effects of beta-asarone on expression of FOS and GAD65 in cortex of epileptic rat induced by penicillin.
Methods: The epileptic animal models were induced by penicillin. The rats were randomly divided into beta-asarone of high (100 mg/kg), medium (50 mg/kg), low (25 mg/kg) dose group, positive control group (Phenytoin sodium), negative control group (matrix).
Objective: To observe the effects of beta-asarone on the morphology and cell viability in PC12 cells and cultured neonate rat cortical neurons.
Methods: The cultured neonate rat cortical neurocytes were stained immunocytochemically with NSE, GFAP antibodies, respectively; Morphological changes were observed under phase contrast microscope after PC12 cells and cultured rat cortical neurons with beta-asarone of different concentrationfor 24h in vitro, and the cell viability of PC12 and cortical neurons were examined by MTT assay.
Results: Most of the cultured neonate rat cortical neurocytes were positively stained with NSE antibody, and positively with GFAP in a less degree; Treatment of PC12 cells with concentrations of 7.
