Aim: To determine the location and relative quantity of coumarins in the stem of Dendrobium thyrsiflorum Rchb. f. , and to provide a scientific basis for evaluating and utilizing the famous medicinal plant.
Methods: The stems of one, two and three years old, separately, were collected in February. Location and relative quantity of coumarins in the top, middle and basal parts of each stem sample were determined by using laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM). ANOVA and Tukey's test were employed in the statistical analysis.
Results: The coumarins located mainly in vascular bundles, especially on the walls of the outer fiber cells. There was significant difference or great significant difference exist in every part of the stem from different ages. The values of significant difference were as follows: basal part P = 0.004 (< 0.01); middle part P = 0.009 (< 0.01); top part P = 0.036( < 0.05).
Conclusion: Two years old stem could be the best choice when collecting Dendrobium thyrsiflorum in Feburary.

Background: Early and delayed puberty are both associated with adverse health and psychosocial outcomes.
Objectives: We assessed the impact of provision of small-quantity lipid-based nutrient supplement (SQ-LNS) to mothers during pregnancy and 6 mo postpartum and to their children aged 6-18 mo, on pubertal status.
Methods: This study was a follow-up to a partially double-blind randomized controlled trial.

Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1 cells are widely used in biomedical research relevant to cancer, toxicity screening, and viruses, as well as in the production of recombinant proteins for biopharmaceuticals. In this study, liquid chromatography (LC)-electrospray ionization (ESI)-higher energy collisional dissociation (HCD)-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) was used to characterize the surface and lysate N-glycans of CHO-K1 cells and analyze their structures. The relative quantity (%) of each N-glycan and absolute quantity (pmol) of total N-glycans were also obtained.

Department of Health Policy and Management, University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Importance: 2021 Advance child tax credit (ACTC) monthly payments were associated with reduced US child poverty rates; however, policymakers have expressed concerns that permanent adoption would increase parental substance use.
Objective: To assess whether 2021 ACTC monthly payments were temporally associated with changes in substance use among parents compared with adults without children.
Design, Setting, And Participants: The primary sample included adults aged 18 to 64 years who responded to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health in 2021.
Do pollinators play a role in shaping the essential amino acids found in nectar?

Plants produce floral nectar as a reward for pollinators, which contains carbohydrates and amino acids (AAs). We designed experiments to test whether pollinators could exert selection pressure on the profiles of AAs in nectar. We used HPLC to measure the free AAs and sugars in the nectar of 102 UK plant species.

This paper focuses on a four-capacitor flexible sensor composed of two electrode materials; also, the decoupling method and sensing performance for multimodal sensing of spatial forces and dynamic humidity are described. In previous work, decoupling of multimode sensors is mostly done by monitoring the types of signals, numerical differences of the same signal, and stacking multiple parameter-sensitive materials. This paper mainly uses the different characteristics of the two electrode materials; in the simulation and experiment of humidity, the moisture-sensitive electrode quickly wets from the outside to the inside and expands, and the contact angle quickly decreases from 58.
