[Characteristics of element contents and their influence factors in Codonopsis tangshen]

30 May 2009 OBJECTIVE: To study the characteristics of element contents and the influencing factors in Codonopsis tangshen. METHOD: The contents of elements were determined and the data was statistically analyzed. RESULT: The variation coefficients of elements ... Read more...

Protections of SMND-309, a novel derivate of salvianolic acid B, on brain mitochondria contribute to injury amelioration in cerebral ischemia rats.

26 May 2009 SMND-309, a novel compound named (2E)-2-{6-[(E)-2-carboxylvinyl]-2,3-dihydroxyphenyl}-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl) propenoic acid, is a new derivate of salvianolic acid B. The present study was conducted to investigate whether SMND-309 has a protective ... Read more...

Effects of phytohormones on mycelial growth and exopolysaccharide biosynthesis of medicinal mushroom Phellinus [corrected] linteus.

7 May 2009 Effects of phytohormones including indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and 1-naphthaleneacetic [corrected] acid (NAA) on mycelial growth of medicinal mushroom Phellinus linteus were investigated. Under the optimal IAA, IBA and ... Read more...
