Objective: To create Atractylode macrocephala inspissation decoction pieces. The effect of ultrasonic wave on extraction of the active components in A. macrocephala was studied in a water solution.
Method: The factors including the ratio of material to liquid, ultrasonic power, ultrasonic time, soaking time, particle size etc, were studied. The best extraction method was found through the response surface method.
Result: The best extraction method was found as follows: the granularity of material 0.1 mm, the repetition times of ultrasonic process 3 times, the soaking time before the ultrasonic process 30 min, the ratio of liquid to material 10:1, the soaking time after the ultrasonic process 2.6 h, the time of the ultrasonic wave 15.5 min, the power of the ultrasonic wave 531 W, the rate of reservation of active components 88.5%, the rate of inspissation 1.6.
Conclusion: The ultrasonic wave can used in the extraction of the active components in A. macrocephala and a model equation that can be used to predict the experiment was get through the response surface method.

The biological activity of polysaccharides used for nutraceuticals/drug excipients has been a neglected area of study. This work deals with the preparation, optimization, characterization, and evaluation of persimmon (Diospyros kaki Thunb.) fruit by-products and the study of the resultant dietary fiber (DF) interaction with other compounds, using acetaminophen as a model.

Background: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a prevalent condition that significantly impacts the quality of life of both patients and their partners. Current therapeutic approaches often struggle to address the diverse needs of all patients. In addition, the efficacy of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) in improving ED symptoms has been insufficiently investigated.

Aberration layers (AL) often present significant energy transmission barriers in microwave engineering, electromagnetic waves, and medical ultrasound. However, achieving broadband ultrasonic focusing through aberration layers like the human skull using conventional materials such as metals and elastomers has proven challenging. In this study, we introduce an inverse phase encoding method employing tunable soft metalens to penetrate heterogeneous aberration layers.

Hypoxia is a major obstacle in the treatment of solid tumors because it causes immune escape and therapeutic resistance. Drug penetration into the hypoxic regions of tumor microenvironment (TME) is extremely limited. This study proposes using the unidirectional fluid flow property of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) to overcome drug penetration limitations in the TME.
