Of 100 asthmatic patients prick tested for allergy to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, 88% were positive compared with only 14% of controls. A significantly greater proportion of dust samples from the houses of the asthmatics contained Dermatophagoides mites. The house-dust mite D. pteronyssinus, constituted 90% of the mites identified, other pyroglyphid mites, Cheyletus and Glycophagus making u...

Four known compounds, 5-Hydroxyflavone (1), 2’-Hydroxyflavanone (2), Paeonol (3) and bergenin (4), were isolated from the methanolic extract of the stem bark of Garcinia malaccensis for the first time through combination of vacuum and radial chromatography techniques. The structures of the secondary metabolites (1-4) were elucidated on the basis of their spectroscopic evidence and comparison wi...

Aquilaria crassna Pierre ex Lec. and Tectona grandis Linn.f. are sources of resin-suffused agarwood and teak timber, respectively. This study investigated arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus community structure in roots and rhizosphere soils of A. crassna and T. grandis from plantations in Thailand to understand whether AM fungal communities present in roots and rhizosphere soils vary with host ...

The family Thymelaeaceae, which includes huge evergreen trees that are sparsely distributed in tropical rainforests, the genus Aquilaria. Numerous medical conditions, including inflammation, cancer, and oxidative stress have been traditionally treated using Aquilaria agallocha malaccensis. In this study, we evaluated silico biological activity with A. malaccensis sample for more conformation. R...

Coastal saltmarshes are key ecosystems with important ecological functions. Yet, they have experienced a widespread decline. Due to their importance, the conservation and restoration of globally shared objectives, including China. Despite multiple local studies, nationwide information about in China is scarce. Thus, we used remote sensing delineate spatial distribution areal extent along coasta...
