    Phenolic Acid and Flavonoid Content Analysis with Antioxidant Activity Assessment in Chinese C. pi. Shen Honey

    No full text
    The nutritional value of honey is closely related to its components, which are highly influenced by the botanic origin. C. pi. Shen (Codonopsis pilosula (Franch.) var. modesta (Nannf.) L. T. Shen), a key plant in traditional Chinese medicine, mainly produced in Gansu Province of China, has attracted much attention for its medicinal value. However, there are few reports about C. pi. Shen honey. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the contents of phenolic profiles and antioxidant activities in C. pi. Shen honey by colorimetric, UPLC-MS/MS, Ferric ion Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP), 2,2-bisazo-bis (3-ethyl-benzothiazole-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) free radical capacity, and 1,1-diphenyl-2-trinitrophenylhydrazine (DPPH) scavenging ability methods. In comparison with four other high-yield unifloral honeys in China (Acacia honey, linden honey, rape honey, and jujube honey), C. pi. Shen honey demonstrated remarkable advantages. Specifically, the levels of total phenolic acids, total flavonoids, and phenolic components of C. pi. Shen honey were significantly pronounced, especially protocatechuic acid and kaempferol. Furthermore, the antioxidant activity of C. pi. Shen honey was also excellent, which was attributed to its phenolic compounds, underscoring its potential biological value. This study is anticipated to serve as a reference for the identification, nutritional assessment, and functional advancement of C. pi. Shen honey

    Overexpression of Cyclin D1 and C-Myc Gene Products in Human Primary Epithelial Ovarian Cancer

    No full text
    Cyclin D1 and c-Myc are key participants in the cell-cycle pathway, in which aberrancies have been associated with malignant transformation. To date, data on the relationship of expression of these proteins and histologic subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer are still scarce and discordant. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed on 12 normal ovaries and 47 cases of serous, mucinous, endometrioid, and clear cell ovarian carcinomas. No abnormal expression of cyclin D1 or c-Myc was demonstrated in any of the 12 normal ovarian specimens. However, compared to normal ovarian tissues, overexpression of cyclin D1 and c-Myc was observed in 42.6% (20/47) and 65.9% (31/47) of tumors examined, respectively. There was no significant difference of overexpression of cyclin D1 or c-Myc gene products between these four histologic subtypes of ovarian adenocarcinomas. This study shows that cyclin D1 and c-Myc are frequently overexpressed in epithelial ovarian carcinomas, but they are not correlated with a particular histologic subtype. Although our preliminary results need to be validated in a larger number of tumors, the abnormal expression of cyclin D 1 and c-Myc in epithelial ovarian cancer reaffirms the notion that they are crucial components in the pathway of tumorigenesis and deserve further study

    Triomicrus mirus Shen and Yin (Fig. 6) Triomicrus mirus Shen and Yin, 2015: 522. Additional material examined. 8 ♂♂, 4 ♀♀, labeled ‘ China: Hunan, Liuyang City, Daweishan Town (大围山镇), Dawei shan (大围山), 28 ° 25 ’ 37 ’’N, 114 °07’03’’E, mixed leaf litter, sifted, 1440 m, 21.vii. 2013, Peng, Dai & Xie leg.’ (SNUC). Comments. Males of this species can be easily separated from those of all other congeners by a combination of the following characters: antennomeres XI enlarged, with impression near middle (Fig. 6 B, 6 C); abdominal sternite VII with apical lamina (Fig. 6 D) composed of two sclerites, left one curved mesally, widest near base, obliquely narrowing toward bifurcate apex, with a tiny horn-like projection at the middle, right one elongate, curved mesally at apex. This species was originally described from the Yaoluoping Natural Reserve, here we record it also from the Dawei Mountain. Illustrations of sternite VII (Fig. 6 D) and the aedeagus (Fig. 6 E) are provided here. Distribution. Eastern China: Anhui; central China: Hunan (new provincial record).Published as part of Shen, Jia-Wei & Yin, Zi-Wei, 2016, The genus Triomicrus Sharp from central and southwestern China (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Pselaphinae), and a revised key to the Chinese species, pp. 369-380 in Zootaxa 4097 (3) on pages 375-376, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4097.3.5, http://zenodo.org/record/25630

    Implied Author, Overall Consideration, and Subtext of "Desiree's Baby"

    No full text
    This essay explores how to infer from a text the image of the implied author. It examines Kate Chopin's "Desiree's Baby" (1893), which has been widely regarded as an indictment of racism but which an "overall consideration" of the implied author's choices will lead us to see as a racist text. Through the interaction of various details in the text, the implied author suggests three racist dichotomies: (1) white characters' nondiscrimination versus black characters' discrimination, (2) positive slavery under white masters versus negative slavery under a black master, and (3) superior whites versus inferior blacks. This implied racist stance reflects the historical context of Chopin's personal experiences, but it contrasts with the quite different racial stances of the implied authors of some other Chopin narratives with different thematic designs. The complexity of the narratives under the name "Kate Chopin" offers an opportunity not only to gain a better understanding of the concept of implied author but also to clarify the relations (connections as well as disparities) among textual, intertextual, and extratextual evidence in literary interpretation in general.LiteratureA&HCI4ARTICLE2285-3113
