Platycodon grandiflorum (PG) has been widely applied as a conductant drug by ancient and modern traditional Chinese medicine practitioners during long-term clinical practice. However, determining how to guide other medicines to the targeted lungs in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescription remains unclear. An ethanol soluble fraction (Fr.

- - A polysaccharide called ALP4-2, rich in arabinan and derived from Atractylodes lancea, has a molecular weight of 5.59 × 10^5 g/mol and a unique structure made up of various sugars linked in complex ways.
- - Its structure includes different glycosidic linkages and differs from typical pectin due to its high methyl ester content and branched arabinan components.
- - ALP4-2 is shown to enhance immune responses by increasing phagocytosis in macrophages and stimulating the release of important cytokines and nitric oxide without causing cytotoxic effects.
Two novel arabinose- and galactose-rich pectic polysaccharides, AELP-B5 (M, 4.25 × 10 g/mol) and B6 (M, 1.56 × 10 g/mol), were rapidly obtained from the leaves of Aralia elata (Miq.

The effect of high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on potassium- chloride cotransporter-2 (KCC2) protein expression following spinal cord injury (SCI) and the action mechanism were investigated. SCI models were established in SD rats. Five groups were set up randomly: normal control group, SCI 7-day (7D) model group, SCI 14-day (14D) model group, SCI-7D rTMS group and SCI-14D rTMS group (n=5 each).

Article Synopsis
- Scientists studied how a special treatment called rTMS helps rats recover after a serious back injury known as spinal cord injury (SCI).
- They discovered that starting this treatment early (just 7 days after injury) worked better than waiting longer (14 days).
- The rTMS treatment seemed to help the rats move better and reduced their muscle stiffness because it increased the levels of certain brain receptors (GABA receptors).
[The results of cementless Zweymüller hip system: 5 to 11 years follow-up study].
Zhonghua Wai Ke Za Zhi
July 2009
Objective: To analyze the intermediate-term results associated with the use of Zweymtiller hip system.
Methods: Review the 116 cases (142 hips) who were treated with total hip replacement from 1996 to 2002 by a single surgeon using cementless Zweymüller hip systems.
Results: Sixty-one cases (77 hips) were followed up, 50 cases (64 hips) were evaluated both clinically and radiographically while 5 cases (6 hips) and 6 cases (7 hips) were only evaluated clinically and radiographically respectively.
