Background: Lung cancer is the most common cancer in the world and has become one of the malignancies with the highest incidence and mortality; more than half of patients die within one year of being diagnosed with lung cancer. In recent years, the concept of "patient-centered" service has gained popularity, and patients' subjective feelings have gradually been used in clinical decision-making. Therefore, this study determined the application of visual patient report outcomes in the field of lung cancer, in order to provide reference for specific clinical practice.

Despite their critical conservation status, the two species remain largely overlooked in public and scientific spheres. This study presented the first sequencing, assembly, and annotation of the complete mitogenomes of both species using next-generation sequencing.

Background: A growing body of research shows that photodynamic therapy (PDT) has become an important mode of treatment in the field of lung cancer (LC) in recent years. Although numerous papers related to PDT in LC have been published, no bibliometric studies have been conducted to summarize the research prospects and highlight the research trends and hotspots in this field. This bibliometric analysis was conducted to investigate and provide a systematic understanding of the development of PDT research for LC over the past 13 years with the aim of providing a reference for new directions and strategies in the field of PDT for LC.

However, molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying this important biodiversity remain poorly investigated. Here, we generated a full-length transcriptome resource incorporated into the BlueOmics database (http://blueomics.

The complete mitogenomes of two crocodile newts, and , were sequenced, assembled, and annotated for the first time using next-generation sequencing. The complete mitogenomes of and were 16,265 bp and 16,259 bp in lengths, which both composed of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 1 control region.

View Article and Find Full Text PDF, a new species growing on limestone in the Wulingshan Mountains, Hunan, China, is described and illustrated. This species is most similar to and on general morphological traits, such as the form of scales, rhizome and sori, but differs by the number of vascular bundles at the base of the petiole, length to width ratio of lamina, stalk length of basal pinnae, division of the lamina, apex form of the pinnule and habitat. Moreover, molecular phylogenetic analysis using the chloroplast L gene suggested that , as the sister group of , is a monophyletic clade.

Molecular phylogenetic analyses, based on mitochondrial 12S rRNA and 16S rRNA gene sequences, strongly support the new species as a monophyletic group nested into the species complex. The new species can be distinguished from its congeners by a combination of the following characters: (1) body size medium (SVL: 42.

Literatures about TCM formula for effort angina pectoris from databases of CNKI, WanFang, VIP, and CBM were retrieved from the database-building to August 31, 2019. The name of syndromes, symptoms, formulas, and herbs were standardized, and the corresponding databases were established.

Methods: ConA (20 mg/kg) was administered via tail vein injection to induce hepatic damage. The groups of AH (Venoplant®) were given at 65.
Objective: To investigate the correlation between soil mineral elements and NIR fingerprint of Angelica sinensis.
Methods: The fingerprint of 130 batches of Angelica sinensis from 12 production regions were determined by near infrared spectra with integrating sphere and diffuse device of near infrared spectrometer. The determination of 15 kinds of mineral elements in the corresponding origin of soil mass fraction were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry or inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, grey correlation analysis and multivariate nonlinear regression method were used to analyze.
Objective: To investigate the correlation between common peaks of Angelica sinensis HPLC fingerprint and mineral elements in its growing soil.
Methods: The fingerprints of 120 batches of Angelica sinensis from 12 habitats were determined by HPLC. The contents of Pb, As, Cr, Sb, Hg, Cu, Cd, Ni, Zn, Mg, Mn, Ca, Fe, Na and K in corresponding soil were determined by ICP-MS and AAS.
Objective: To investigate the spectrum characteristics of near-intrared dittuse retlectance spectroscopy (NIR) fingerprint of different medicinal parts of Angelicae Sinensis Radix.
Methods: 96 batches of samples were collected from 14 counties of Gansu Province and Yunnan Province. The NIR fingerprints were collected by integrated sphere.
Objective: To investigate the distribution characteristics of mineral elements in the soil of Angelica sinensis producing regions and its relationship with altitude and soil types.
Methods: The contents of 15 mineral elements in 103 batches of soil from 13 counties were determined by ICP-MS or AAS. Pearson correlation analysis, partial correlation analysis and systematical cluster analysis were used to analyze the data.
Objective: To investigate the establishment and application methods of entropy-weight TOPSIS model in synthetical quality evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine with Angelica sinensis growing in Gansu Province as an example.
Methods: The contents of ferulic acid, 3-butylphthalide, Z-butylidenephthalide, Z-ligustilide, linolic acid, volatile oil, and ethanol soluble extractive were used as an evaluation index set. The weights of each evaluation index were determined by information entropy method.
