Two groups of saponins, TS-1 and TS-2, isolated from tea root extract (TRE) were tested for antiinflammatory and in vitro antioxidant activity. Both TS-1 and TS-2 inhibited carrageenan-induced paw oedema in rats. The antioxidant activity of these compounds was evaluated using the xanthine-xanthine oxidase system. The study indicated that the previously observed antitumour activity of TRE might be mediated through scavenging of free radicals by saponins and their antiinflammatory activity.

Division of Neonatology, Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, Medical University of Graz, Graz, Austria.
Aim: The aim was to define reference ranges for cerebral oxygen saturation (crSO-ROOT) during immediate transition after birth in stable neonates.
Methods: In a prospective observational study, the crSO-ROOT was continuously measured in neonates during the first 15 min after birth. The neonatal sensor was placed on the head and fixed with a bandage.
<b>Background and Objectives:</b> This study characterized a bacterial strain, BN122, isolated from the root tissues of purple sticky rice (<i>Oryza sativa</i> L. var. glutinosa).

Tulip poplar () is a member of the Magnolia family, is a large, fast-growing, long-lived, deciduous tree native to eastern North America. One-year-old tulip poplar seedlings grown under field conditions in a commercial nursery in Warren County, Tennessee, exhibited severe root rot in May 2024. Dark brown to black lesions were observed on the affected roots.

One new azaphilone derivative () from in ordinary medium, one new phthalide derivative (), a microbial transformation product of ingredients by , a pair of new austdiol enantiomers (+)- and (-)-, one new epsilon-caprolactone derivative (), and one new ophiobolin-type sesterterpenoid () from the in host medium were reported. The structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compounds - could completely inhibit the germination of rice seeds at 50 μg/mL, which is higher than that of the positive control.

They typically result from dental infections but may also arise from salivary gland issues, tumors, or congenital anomalies. Accurate diagnosis is essential to prevent complications like infection, osteomyelitis, and discomfort.
