Very few antibiotics are available for the treatment of pulmonary infections caused by extensively drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (XDRAB). To find alternative treatments, traditional Chinese herbs were screened f...

The antiobesity effects of several different combinations of extracts (BS) prepared from two plants, Phyllostachys pubescens leaf (bamboo leaf: BL) and Scutellaria baicalensis root (SB), were investigated using a high fat diet (HFD) induced obese mouse model. In order to find the most effective mixture among the mixtures of the two plant extracts, experimental preparations were made by combinin...

The hydroxylation of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) to 7? -hydroxy-5-androstene-17-one (7?-OH-DHEA) and 7?-hydroxy-5-androstene-17-one (7?-OH-DHEA) by Gibberella sp. CICC 2498 Absidia coerulea 41050 was investigated. media ingredients were optimized. Single factors such as the DHEA concentration, culture time, medium volume, inoculum rate individually investigated generate optimum biotransformat...

Lately, the utilization of natural colorants in textile dyeing and printing has come to forepart manufacturing goods due increased environmental troubles. In this study, wool yarns were dyed with ternary dye combinations (Scutellaria Orientalis L, Rubia Tinctorium and, Punica Granatum L ). The color coordinates washing light fastness investigated. Washing are fair good. Dyed worked calorimetric...
