The effect of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) and chlorine dioxide (ClO) on fruit quality during storage was investigated. Strawberries were treated with 1-MCP alone or in combination with ClO gas generated by a releasing agent, and the quality, fruit decay, microbial inhibition, and enzyme activities [polyphenol oxidase (PPO), superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL)] at 4 °C were measured for 16 days. 1-MCP alone could maintain the fruit quality during storage but had little effect on microbial growth, resulting in quick decay during storage. ClO treatment effectively inhibited microbial growth during storage and improved shelf life with no visual damage. Moreover, 1-MCP in combination with ClO was superior in maintaining quality attributes as compared with 1-MCP alone, as significant differences were found in some indices. Furthermore, 1-MCP in combination with ClO maintained higher SOD, APX, and PAL activities and lower PPO activity as compared with the control and 1-MCP alone. Overall, ClO enhanced the effect of 1-MCP on strawberries during storage and shelf life, possibly through the inhibition of microbial growth and regulation of enzyme activity. The combination of 1-MCP and ClO may serve as a potential strategy with dual physiological and antimicrobial effects for the preservation of perishable products.

Ocular inflammation is a complex pathology with limited treatment options. While traditional therapies have side effects, novel approaches, such as natural compounds like Apigenin (APG) and Melatonin (MEL) offer promising solutions. APG and MEL, in combination with nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC), may provide a synergistic effect in treating ocular inflammation, potentially improving patient outcomes and reducing adverse effects.

Background: Owing to its high perishability, the market life of nectarine fruit is very short. Cold storage is a principal approach to limit post-harvest quality loss in nectarines. The objective of this research was to evaluate the impact of postharvest methyl jasmonate (MeJA), salicylic acid (SA) and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on quality properties of nectarine fruit, specifically weight loss, firmness, phenolics and antioxidant activity, following cold storage and subsequent shelf life.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of Danlou tablets combined with aspirin for treating phlegm and blood stasis syndrome in coronary heart disease (CHD).
Methods: This study is a retrospective study, a total of 120 patients with phlegm and blood stasis syndrome with CHD were randomly assigned to either a control group (aspirin, 100 mg, once daily) or an observation group (Danlou tablets, 1.5 g, three times daily; aspirin, 100 mg, once daily) at a 1:1 ratio.
Effects of sucrose and 1-MCP on enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidants in postharvest Gynura bicolor DC.

After harvesting, Gynura bicolor DC (G. bicolor) undergoes rapid quality deterioration, including decay, nutrient loss, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst, greatly limiting its shelf life. This study was performed to evaluate the effects of treatment with sucrose and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on indices of quality deterioration, ROS metabolism, and phenylpropanoid metabolism, with the goals of resisting oxidative stress and improving the postharvest quality of G.
