Dianthus chinensis is a perennial herbaceous plant with great ornamental, botanical, ecological, and medicinal value. The pistil of D. chinensis is composed of two fused carpels with free central placenta and two separate styles. The placenta is a columnar structure extending about two-thirds the length of the maturing fruit, which is typical of the Caryophyllaceous. Traditionally, free central...

Saururus chinensis is a core member of Saururaceae, a perianthless (lacking petals or sepals) family. Due to its basal phylogenetic position and unusual floral composition, study of this plant family is important for understanding the origin and evolution of perianthless flowers and petaloid bracts among angiosperm species. To isolate genes involved in S. chinensis flower development, subtracte...

Previous studies have shown that compounds in the form of precipitate (CFP) from Huang-Lian-Jie-Du-Tang (HLJDT) were stable, and the CFP content reached 2.63% of the whole decoction and had good neuroprotective effects. However, there has been no research on their specific source. In this study, it was found that HLJDT CFP mainly came from the reaction of Scutellaria baicalensis and Coptis chin...

Previous studies have indicated that some species of Cuscuta possess anticancer activity on various cell lines. Due to the lack of detailed researches on the cytotoxic effects of Cuscuta chinensis and Cuscuta epithymum, the aim of the present study was to evaluate cytotoxic effects of chloroform and hydroalcoholic extracts of these plants on the human breast carcinoma cell line (MDA-MB-468), hu...

To determine the kinetics of tissue macrophage and microglial engraftment after bone marrow (BM) transplantation, we have developed a model using the ROSA 26 mouse. Transplanted ROSA 26 cells can be precisely identified in recipient animals because they constitutively express beta-galactosidase (beta-gal) and neomycin resistance. B6/129 F2 mice were irradiated and transplanted with BM from ROSA...

The concept of γ-semi-regular-open sets and γ-sclosed spaces have been introduced and explored in [6]. In this paper, we continue studying the properties and characterizations of γ-semi-regular open sets and γ-s-closed spaces.

In this paper we have introduced the concept of (γ, γ′)-preopen sets in topological space.

ROSA is a Learning Object (LO) repository system with semantic access, which enables the management of LOs. LO is a collection of reusable material used to support learning, characterized by a set of metadata descriptors. LOs are accessed in a contextualized way, determined by semantic associations between them. This paper presents ROSA+, a system extension that aims at deducing additional sema...

To determine the kinetics of tissue macrophage and microgwere observed. Alveolar macrophage engraftment was evident by 2 months and had increased to 61% of total tissue lial engraftment after bone marrow (BM) transplantation, we have developed a model using the ROSA 26 mouse. macrophages at 1 year posttransplantation. The kinetics of liver Kupffer cell engraftment were similar to those seen in ...
