Homoisoflavonoids were identified in Ophiopogon japonicus of two cultivation regions in China: Hang-maidong (grown in Zhejiang province) and Chuan-maidong (grown in Sichuan province). Liquid chromatography (LC), coupled with electrospray ionization (ESI) tandem mass spectrometry (MS), was developed to analyze homoisoflavonoids in these two areas. Based on LC-MS/MS data, 24 homoisoflavonoid compounds--19 in Hang-maidong and 17 in Chuan-maidong--were identified or tentatively characterized. The homoisoflavonoids in the two regions were similar in chemical profile, but distinctive in their combination and ratio. Methylophiopogonanone A and methylophiopogonanone B were the major contributors to the total homoisoflavonoid content. Hang-maidong had a higher total homoisoflavonoid content and better DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl) radical-scavenging activity than that of Chuan-maidong. The total phenolic content showed no significant difference between the two regions. This study allows a clear chemical differentiation of Hang-maidong from Chuan-maidong.

As global demand for meat continues to rise, alternative and sustainable methods of production are being explored. Cultivated meat (CM) is one such alternative that holds potential for sustainable production with less environmental impact. This study develops an approach to evaluate CM production based on agricultural feedstock.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) at specific acupoints (DU20 and ST36) and different frequencies (2 and 100 Hz) on brain regions associated with trigeminal neuralgia, anxiety, and depression. Chronic trigeminal neuralgia was induced by the chronic constriction of the infraorbital nerve (CION). Anxiety and depression were assessed through behavioral tests.

With climate change, the frequency of regions experiencing water scarcity is increasing annually, posing a significant challenge to crop yield. Barley, a staple crop consumed and cultivated globally, is particularly susceptible to the detrimental effects of drought stress, leading to reduced yield production. Water scarcity adversely affects multiple aspects of barley growth, including seed germination, biomass production, shoot and root characteristics, water and osmotic status, photosynthesis, and induces oxidative stress, resulting in considerable losses in grain yield and its components.
