Flavonoids from Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi treat cerebral ischemia/reperfusion
Flavonoids from the stems and leaves of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi are neuroprotective agents in a naturally senile, D-galactose, aging in vivo model, as well as an in vitro model of oxidative/hypoxic injury, which have been affirmed as a promising agent for senile dementia.

Why can Erhuang capsule be used to treat multiple sclerosis?
Erhuang capsule is a typical formula based on traditional Chinese medicine theory of tonifying the kidney, resolving phlegm and activating blood, and it can relieve inflammation, attenuate glucocorticoid side effects and lower the relapse rate.

New clues to flu vaccine protection
A unique population of immune cells called T cells appears in the blood after seasonal influenza vaccination and may boost the body’s development of protective antibodies against the flu, a new study in children and adults reports. For decades people of all ages have lined up for their seasonal flu vaccination, yet scientists know surprisingly little about how flu vaccines actually work.

Goats' milk with antimicrobial lysozyme speeds recovery from diarrhea
Milk from goats that were genetically modified to produce higher levels of a human antimicrobial protein has proved effective in treating diarrhea in young pigs, demonstrating the potential for food products from transgenic animals to one day also benefit human health, report researchers at the University of California, Davis.

Scalable preparation of porous silicon nanoparticles and their application for lithium-ion battery anodes
Here, we present a cost-efficient method to prepare porous silicon nanoparticles in a scalable way. We found that after coated with carbon and wrapped with graphene oxide, the porous silicon nanoparticles exhibited high specific capacity (1000 mAh/g) and long cycle life (200 cycles) as an anode material for lithium-ion battery.

Baicalin improves neurogenesis in the hippocampus of chronically stressed rats
According to a study reported in the Neural Regeneration Research (Vol. 8, No. 6, 2013), chronic stress models, established in adult Sprague-Dawley rats through a 14-day subcutaneous injection of 40 mg/kg corticosterone, once per day, were given a daily oral feeding of 50 mg/kg baicalin.

Duckweed as a cost-competitive raw material for biofuel production
The search for a less-expensive, sustainable source of biomass, or plant material, for producing gasoline, diesel and jet fuel has led scientists to duckweed, that fast-growing floating plant that turns ponds and lakes green. That's the topic of a report in ACS' journal Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research.

Some biologists shun new media
An online survey of neuroscientists in Germany and the United States found that, although in both countries researchers believe “new media” such as blogs and online social networks are important in influencing public opinion and political decisions, the researchers make little use of new media themselves.

Researchers develop an infrared camera that detects one of the main causes of acid rain
A spin-off of the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), SENSIA Solutions, has developed the first infrared camera for detecting sulfur dioxide (SO2), a gas that is considered one of the greatest causes of the acid rain generated by the energy, metallurgy, food and paper manufacturing sectors.

Insufficient sleep increases food intake and can lead to weight gain
Five consecutive days of insufficient sleep increases food intake in excess of energy needs and leads to weight gain, a study reports. Kenneth P. Wright, Jr. and colleagues quantified the effects of five days of insufficient sleep on the total daily energy expenditure and energy intake of 16 adults.

Protected areas prevent deforestation in the Amazon rainforest
Indigenous lands and strictly protected areas have been more successful at inhibiting market-driven deforestation pressures than protected areas that allow non-indigenous resource use, according to a study. Preventing rainforest deforestation is a goal for conserving biodiversity and, more recently, for reducing carbon emissions.

How shale gas development affects surface water quality in Pennsylvania
Shale gas development can adversely affect surface water quality by increasing the concentration of chloride and suspended solids, a study reports. Sheila M. Olmstead and colleagues studied the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania and used regression analysis of more than 20,000 surface water quality observations to estimate the effects of shale gas wells and the release of treated shale gas waste on downstream water quality.
