In order to explore the effects of Chinese milk vetch and rape mixed sowing on rice yield soil fertility, select best planting mode, five different ratios were designed study yield, physicochemical properties fertility in 0-10 cm, 10- 20 cm 20-30 layers. Grey correlation analysis nutrient was carried out by using grey system theory. The influence layers chemical greater than physical properties...

Astragalus membranaceus, dried root extract, also known as Astragali radix, is used in traditional Chinese medicine as a tonic remedy. Moreover, it has been reported that Astragalus membranaceus could attenuate intestinal inflammation; however, the underlying mechanism for its anti-inflammatory activity in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated Astragalu...

The Chinese rose beetle, Adoretus sinicus Burmeister (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae: Adoretini), is a broadly polyphagous scarab beetle that is economically important and causes damage to a wide variety of host plants including agricultural crops and ornamentals in Southeast Asia, China, the Hawaiian Islands and several other Pacific Islands. The species has become established in numerous...

BACKGROUND In traditional Chinese medicine, astragalus injection is used to treat diabetic nephropathy (DN). The current study was conducted to determine the effects of astragalus injection on DN by assessing potential modulation of the transforming growth factor beta TGFβ/Smad signaling pathway. METHODS Diabetic, male KKAy mice, aged 14 weeks were randomly divided into a model group and an a...

The morphology, infraciliature and silverline system of two marine Euplotes, Euplotes sinicus sp. nov. and Euplotes parabalteatus sp. nov., isolated from seawater near Qingdao, China, were investigated. E. sinicus is characterized by having conspicuous dorsal ridges, a single marginal cirrus and a silverline system of the double-patella-I type. E. parabalteatus is an extremely small form (only ...

In this study, distribution of Calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystal types within generative organs of Astragalus hamosus L. and Astragalus glycyphyllos L. and crystal types of them were examined using light microscopy (LM). During cytoembryological studies on A. glycyphyllos, CaOx crystals have been observed in generative organs. Prismatic and druse type crystals were determined in different regions ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of astragalus polysaccharides (APSs), active constituents of astragalus, in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and their potential as a promising candidate for future anticancer drug development. Astragalus polysaccharide was administered at different doses to HCC H22-bearing mice to investigate their antitumor effects. Result...
