Cultivated Vegetation Shapes Diversity and Stability of Spontaneous Herbaceous Communities in Residential Green Spaces. [PDF]
Ecol EvolCultivated vegetation shapes the diversity and stability of spontaneous herbaceous communities in residential green spaces, with effects varying across vegetation types. Spontaneous communities were dominated by occasional species, and community stability and dissimilarity were more closely associated with species frequency structure than with overall ...

Treatment of Potential Postpartum Eclampsia in a Python Using Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine: A Case Report. [PDF]
Vet Med SciABSTRACT According to the traditional Chinese veterinary medicine (TCVM) theory, Yin deficiency contributes to the acute onset of eclampsia. This condition arises primarily from the substantial loss of blood and nutrients to the foetus during pregnancy, leading to insufficient nutrition and blood supply. Consequently, the muscles and veins are deprived

Structural Characterization and Antioxidant Activity of Polysaccharides From Indigo Naturalis <i>Ophiopogon japonicus</i>: Effects of Processing and Extraction Methods. [PDF]
Food Sci NutrIndigo naturalis processing significantly increased polysaccharide and uronic acid content, altered monosaccharide composition, and introduced high‐molecular‐weight fractions. Structural changes enhanced DPPH and superoxide anion scavenging activities, especially in reflux‐extracted processed samples (W‐IP, IC50 = 3.19 mg/mL).

Methylophiopogonanone a attenuates pulmonary fibrosis by inhibiting SPP1-mediated macrophage polarization via the PI3K/Akt pathway. [PDF]
Animal Model Exp MedTranscriptome sequencing identified secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1) as a crucial target through which methylophiopogonanone A (MOA) ameliorates pulmonary fibrosis. Molecular docking and microscale thermophoresis (MST) assays confirmed a favorable binding affinity between MOA and SPP1.
