No full textThis paper aims to difine the boundaries of Miyazaki dialects based on field work done by Miyazaki Dialect Club (of Miyazaki International College) members and the author from 1995 to 1998. The data shows several dialect boundaries defined by various phonetic and grammatical features. In particular, a mora dialect and a syllable dialect boundary is observed between Nishimorokata district and Miyazaki prefecture. In almost the same area, another boundary shows the distributions of the Hyuga and Satsuma dialects. The primary sources for this analysis are Miyazaki Dialectal Maps and Nobeoka-Kagoshima Glottograms.departmental bulletin pape
Antiviral Effect of Ephedrine Alkaloids-Free Ephedra Herb Extract against SARS-CoV-2 In Vitro
No full textWe report for the first time that ephedrine alkaloids-free Ephedra Herb extract (EFE) directly inhibits the replication of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in vitro and that the addition of EFE to the culture medium before viral infection reduces virus titers in the culture supernatant of SARS-CoV-2, including those of variant strains, by more than 99%, 24 h after infection. The addition of Ephedra Herb macromolecule condensed-tannin, which is the main active ingredient responsible for the anticancer, pain suppression, and anti-influenza effects of EFE, similarly suppressed virus production in the culture supernatant by 99% before infection and by more than 90% after infection. Since EFE does not have the side effects caused by ephedrine alkaloids, such as hypertension, palpitations, and insomnia, our results showed the potential of EFE as a safe therapeutic agent against coronavirus disease 2019
Characterization of Phenolic Constituents from Ephedra Herb Extract
No full textNine known compounds: trans-cinnamic acid, catechin, syringin, epicatechin, symplocoside, kaempferol 3-O-rhamnoside 7-O-glucoside, isovitexin 2-O-rhamnoside, herbacetin 7-O-glucoside, and pollenitin B and a new flavonoid glycoside, characterized as herbacetin 7-O-neohesperidoside (1) on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and chemical evidence, were isolated from a traditional crude drug, “Ephedra herb extract”. Compound 1 had no effects on HGF-induced motility, whereas herbacetin, which is an aglycone of 1, significantly inhibited it
