(L.) is a fast-growing herbaceous perennial and halophyte belonging to the family Aizoaceae. Bioactive compound identification from halophytes is more helpful for the drug development process. The present investigation was to fractionate and identify the bioactive compounds of leaf extracts from and evaluate their antioxidant potential. The Soxhlet extraction method was used in this study, and column chromatography was done for the partial purification. The bactericidal activity of the fraction was determined using the agar-well diffusion technique, and the effective fraction was analysed by GC-MS. A hydrogen peroxide-reducing assay was carried out on the antioxidant activity of the elite fraction. Five active fractions were collected from the crude extract. Fraction (F3) exhibited promising antibacterial and antioxidant activity. GS-MS analysis suggested the active compounds of the elite fraction are n-Hexadecanoic acid (29.70%), oleic acid (8.08%), octadecatrienoic acid (8.01%), 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol (6.65%), tertracosamethyl-cyclododecasiloxane (6.55%), and lineolic acid (4.68%).

This paper developed an efficient microbial activator formula and conducted an in-depth study on its efficacy and mechanism in promoting the degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in oil-contaminated soil. A 60-day microbial remediation experiment conducted on oily soil revealed that the microbial activators significantly boosted the activities of dehydrogenase and catalase, subsequently speeding up the degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in the soil. The overall degradation rate reached as high as 71.

Disuse bone loss is prone to occur in individuals who lack mechanical stimulation due to prolonged spaceflight or extended bed rest, rendering them susceptible to fractures and placing an enormous burden on social care; nevertheless, the underlying molecular mechanisms of bone loss caused by mechanical unloading have not been fully elucidated. Numerous studies have focused on the epigenetic regulation of disuse bone loss; yet limited research has been conducted on the impact of RNA modification bone formation in response to mechanical unloading conditions. In this study, we discovered that mA reader IGF2BP1 was downregulated in both osteoblasts treated with 2D clinostat and bone tissue in HLU mice.

Nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) is widely used for polychlorinated biphenyl (PBDE) remediation due to its cost-effectiveness and strong reduction capacity. However, its practical application is limited by poor stability, mobility, and antioxidant performance, as well as high reactivity that leads to side reactions and activity loss. To overcome these challenges, a poly(styrene)-encapsulated nZVI (PS-nZVI) core-shell structure was developed using dispersion polymerization.

Hairy roots mediated by Agrobacterium rhizogenes can be obtained from the composite plants (plants with hairy roots and untransformed aerial parts) by ex vitro method. Composite plants can produce higher amounts of secondary metabolites by merging hydroponic systems. This provides a stable condition for composite plants, in which various metabolites are produced in different parts.
