Study on the Role and Mechanism of Bletilla Striata Polysaccharide in LPS-Induced Acute Liver Injury in Mice

Bletilla, also known as Bletilla striata (Thunb.) Reichb.f., is a dried tuber of the orchid plant, widely distributed in various provinces and cities in China, and grows in moist places such as valleys and mountains. Bletilla striata polysaccharide (BSP) is the main active component of Bletilla, which has attracted attention due to its significant effects … Read more

Preparation and Characterization of ROS-Responsive Bletilla Striata Polysaccharide Drug-Loaded Micelles

Preparation and Characterization of ROS-Responsive Bletilla Striata Polysaccharide Drug-Loaded Micelles

Bletilla striata polysaccharide (BSP) is a polysaccharide extracted from the medicinal material Bletilla striata, composed of mannose and glucose (2.4:1) linked by β-glycosidic bonds. It exhibits biological activities such as anti-inflammation, antioxidant, and anti-fibrosis [1], and is non-toxic, biodegradable, and highly compatible, making it widely used in drug formulation [2-6]. Additionally, literature reports that BSP … Read more

Extraction, Purification, and Gastroprotective Activity of Glucomannan from Bletilla Striata

Extraction, Purification, and Gastroprotective Activity of Glucomannan from Bletilla Striata Presenter: First Year Graduate Student Di Zhenning This study extracted and purified a water-soluble polysaccharide (BSP) from the pseudobulb of Bletilla striata and analyzed its preliminary structure and gastroprotective activity. The results showed that BSP is a glucomannan with a molar ratio of 7.45:2.55 (Man:Glc) … Read more

Effect of Ionic Strength and Mixing Ratio on Complex Coacervation of Soy Protein Isolate/Flammulina Velutipes Polysaccharide

Effect of Ionic Strength and Mixing Ratio on Complex Coacervation of Soy Protein Isolate/Flammulina Velutipes Polysaccharide

Introduction Proteins and polysaccharides are essential components of the food nutrition system, and the complex coacervation of protein/polysaccharide plays a crucial role in the texture, structure, and flavor of food. Due to their excellent physicochemical properties such as emulsifying ability, gelation, and biodegradability, protein/polysaccharide coacervates can serve as emulsion stabilizers, fat replacers, and biodegradable packaging … Read more

Atomic Dispersed Indium and Cerium Sites for Selective CO2 Reduction to Formate

Atomic Dispersed Indium and Cerium Sites for Selective CO2 Reduction to Formate

Currently, the single-atom combination catalysts (SACCs) for the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2RR) to formic acid (HCOOH) are still very limited, especially those based on lanthanide elements. In this study, we successfully synthesized a novel type of SACCs with atomically dispersed In and Ce active sites on a nitrogen-doped carbon matrix (InCe/CN). The aberration-corrected … Read more
