Osterici Radix, the dried roots of Ostericum koreanum Maximowicz, has long been used to treat cold, headache and arthralgia in Chinese medicine. Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix, the dried rhizomes and roots of Notopterygium incisum Ting et H.T. Chang or Notopterygium forbesii Boiss (family: Umbelliferae), are well-known traditional Chinese medicines. These all herbal medicines were named kangwhoal in China, Japan and Korea. However no discrimination methods for the origin and no simultaneous analysis methods for bioactive components are currently available. We developed simultaneous analysis of six biomarkers including nodakenin (1), oxypeucedanin (2), bisabolangelone (3), notopterol (4), imperatorin (5), and isoimperatorin (6) using HPLC method. HPLC chromatographic separation was conducted with C18 column and mobile phase of acetonitrile (A) - water (B) (gradient, (A) 35%-65% (30 min)). The analytical condition was validated with specificity, selectivity, linearity (correlation coefficients of all bio marker were more than 0.999.), recovery (94.9-106.8%), precision and accuracy (intra and inter RSD < 2.99%). In addition, principal component analysis and cluster analysis was performed on analytical data of 38 commercial kangwhoal samples from different places. We confirmed to classify kangwhoal origins and this study was applied to quality evaluation and chemotaxonomy of medicinal herbs.

The emergence of East Asian spring ephemerals and the unique ecosystem can be attributed primarily to vicariance, brought about by the Quaternary rifting of the Okinawa Trough, the formation of the East China Sea, and the isolation of the island chains of Ryukyu, Japan, and Taiwan from the Asian continent. The northern forests of Japan, dominated by and the associated , present a captivating display of spring-flowering ephemerals, including , , , and . Among these, is also considered part of the spring ephemerals.

Background: In adolescents and adults with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), right ventricle (RV) electromechanical dyssynchrony (EMD) due to right bundle branch block (RBBB) is associated with reduced exercise capacity and RV dysfunction. While the development of RBBB following surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) is a frequent sequela, it is not known whether EMD is present in every patient immediately following rTOF. The specific timing of the onset of RBBB following rTOF therefore provides an opportunity to assess whether acute RBBB is associated with the simultaneous acquisition of EMD.

Among the different tumor-associated epigenetic signatures, 5 methyl-cytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) are the two most well-characterized DNA methylation alterations linked to cancer pathogenesis. 5hmC has a tissue-specific distribution and its abundance is subjected to changes in tumor DNA, making it a promising biomarker.

Various lipid and biopolymer-based nanocarriers have been developed to encapsulate food ingredients. The selection of nanocarrier type, preparation techniques, and loading methods should consider the compatibility of nutrient properties, nanocarrier composition, and product requirements. This review focuses on the loading methods for hydrophilic and hydrophobic substances, along with a detailed exploration of nanocarrier categorization, composition, and preparation methods.

This research aims to optimize adjuvant ovarian function suppression (OFS) for premenopausal Indian women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) /human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) early breast cancer (eBC). To address specific challenges identified in clinical practice, a comprehensive questionnaire consisting of 21 statements was developed. These statements were reviewed and validated by a scientific committee, ensuring their accuracy and relevance to the study's objectives.
