Membranes have been used as versatile tools for the separation of various natural products; however, the selective separation of structural analogs of natural products using membranes remains challenging. In this study, biocomposite membranes based on poly(ionic liquids) and different natural fibers (jute, cotton, or wool) were successfully prepared. Natural fibers can regulate the microstructure and improve the mechanical properties of membranes. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis, and thermo gravimetric analysis were used to characterize the membranes. The membranes were used to separate tanshinone homologs (tanshinone I, tanshinone IIA, cryptotanshinone, and dihydrotanshinone I), allowing cryptotanshinone to penetrate the membrane while rejecting tanshinone I. A maximal selectivity of 44.57 % was obtained for the tanshinone homologs using a one-step separation protocol. These poly(ionic liquids)/natural fiber membranes possess high water flux, good self-cleaning, and good antibacterial properties. The membranes were effective in separating tanshinone homologs and have the potential to separate other natural homologs.

The insufficient abundance and weak activity of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are two important reasons for the poor efficacy of PD-1 inhibitors in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment. The combined administration of tanshinone II (TSA) and astragaloside IV (As) can up-regulate the abundance and activity of TILs by normalising tumour blood vessels and reducing the levels of immunosuppressive factors respectively. For enhancing the efficacy of PD-1 antibody, a magnetic metal-organic framework (MOF) with a homologous tumour cell membrane (Hm) coating (Hm@TSA/As-MOF) is established to co-deliver TSA&As into the HCC microenvironment.

Background: Tanshinone IIA (TSIIA) is an element of the effective ingredients of Bunge (Labiatae), exhibits a significant therapeutic effect in brain neuroprotection. The focus of this study was the examination of synaptic plasticity of in Mg2+-free-induced epileptic hippocampus neurons and how TSIIA protects against it.
Methods: The purity of the primary hippocampal neurons extracted from Sprague Dawley rats was assessed within 24 hours by microtubule-associated protein (MAP2) immunofluorescence staining.
