HuoXueTongFu formula induces M2c macrophages via the MerTK/PI3K/AKT pathway to eliminate NETs in intraperitoneal adhesion in mice.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: HuoXueTongFu Formula (HXTF) is a traditional Chinese herbal formula that has been used as a supplement and alternative therapy for intraperitoneal adhesion (IA). However, its specific mechanism of action has not been fully understood.

Aim Of The Study: In surgery, IA presents an inevitable challenge, significantly impacting patients' physical and mental well-being and increasing the financial burden.

N6-methyladenosine modification of TSC1 mRNA contributes to macrophage polarization regulated by Coptisine in DSS-induced ulcerative colitis.

Background And Purpose: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a global refractory disease characterized by recurrent episodes. Coptisine (COP) is an isoquinoline alkaloid derived from Coptis chinensis, which has strong anti-inflammatory activity. Macrophages are key cells mediating inflammation.

[Effect of Morinda officinalis Root and Its Salt-Processing Product on Energy Metabolism in Rats with Yang Deficiency].

Objective: To compare the effects of Morinda officinalis root and its salt-processing prodduct on rats with kidney yang deficiency from the viewpoint of energetic metabolism.

Methods: The rat models for the kidney yang deficiency were established through the perfusion of methimazole. The models were treated with different dosages of Morinda officinalis root without woods and its salt-processing products extracts.

[Multiple analysis of relationship between morphologic traits and yield formation of Anoectochilus roxburghii].

Nine morphologic traits, plant height, ground diameter, leaf length, leaf width, leaf area of plant, leaf fresh weight, blades, length/width ratio, plant fresh weight of Anoectochilus roxburghii from 13 different areas were determined for correlation analysis, path analysis and principal components analysis. Different source of morphological trait variation coefficient of A. roxburghii was 2.

[Effects of different transplanting conditions on survival rate and growing status of Anoictochilus roxburghii plantlets].

The growing status of Anoectochilus roxburghii seedling was observed and the survival rate of seedlings, height, stem diameter and plant fresh weight under the conditions of different transplanting substrate compositions, planting density, shading rate were measured. The results showed that the effects of different transplanting substrates, planting densities, shading rates and nutrient solutions on the growing status of A. roxburghii plantlets varied greatly.

Application of response surface methodology to optimise supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of volatile compounds from Crocus sativus.

Background: Crocus sativus has been used as a traditional Chinese medicine for a long time. The volatile compounds of C. sativus appear biologically active and may act as antioxidants as well as anticonvulsants, antidepressants and antitumour agents.

Effects of shade treatments on photosynthetic characteristics, chloroplast ultrastructure, and physiology of Anoectochilus roxburghii.

Anoectochilus roxburghii was grown under different shade treatments-50%, 30%, 20%, and 5% of natural irradiance-to evaluate its photosynthetic characteristics, chloroplast ultrastructure, and physiology. The highest net photosynthetic rates and stomatal conductance were observed under 30% irradiance, followed in descending order by 20%, 5%, and 50% treatments. As irradiance decreased from 50% to 30%, electron transport rate and photochemical quenching increased, while non-photochemical quenching indexes declined.
