Objective:To purify H5N1 influenza virus concentrate prepared by MDCK cells with a new mixed-mode chromatography medium Capto Core700 and the traditional medium Sepharose 4FF, and to compare the separation and purification efficacy of the two media.Methods:Capto Core700 and Sepharose 4FF were used to purify inactivated H5N1 influenza virus concentrate. The morphology of virus particles in different samples was then observed under a transmission electron microscope. Single radial immunodiffusion (SRID), Folin-Phenol (Lowry) method, double-antibody sandwich ELISA and qPCR were used to detect hemagglutinin, total protein, host cell protein (HCP) and host cell DNA (HCD) before and after purification. The recovery rate of virus antigen and the removal rate of impurities were calculated. The immunogenicity of the viruses purified with different media was analyzed using animal experiments. Difference in the purification efficacy of the two chromatography media was analyzed by t-test. Results:H5N1 influenza viruses purified by Capto Core700 or Sepharose 4FF showed the typical influenza virus morphology under transmission electron microscope. There was no significant difference in the recovery rate of hemagglutinin between the two chromatography media ( P>0.05), but compared with Sepharose 4FF, Capto Core700 had a higher removal rate of impurities (total protein, HCP, HCD) and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Animal experiments showed that the viruses purified by the two chromatography media had good immunogenicity. Conclusions:Compared with Sepharose 4FF chromatography medium, Capto Core700 could more effectively remove process-related impurities such as HCP, HCD and total protein without affecting the recovery rate of viral antigen. This study provided reference for the development of purification technology in the production of H5N1 influenza virus vaccine in MDCK cells.

Objective To investigate the value of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in the diagnosis and treatment of renal cell carcinoma with inferior vena cava tumor thrombus. Methods Ten patients of renal cell carcinoma with inferior vena cava tumor thrombus treated in the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2017 to January 2021 were selected.TEE was employed to locate the position of the tumor thrombus,determine the occlusion point of the inferior vena cava,count the intraoperative tumor thrombus shedding rate,examine the tumor thrombus resection integrity,and measure blood loss and other indicators,on the basis of which the application value of TEE in the operation of renal cell carcinoma with inferior vena cava tumor thrombus was evaluated. Results All the 10 patients had completed the operations successfully,including 8 patients of open operation and 2 patients of laparoscopic operation.TEE showed tumor thrombi clearly,and all the tumor thrombi were completely removed.There was no tumor thrombus shedding during the operation.The blood loss varied within the range of 300-800 ml,with the mean of (520.0±193.2) ml.The grade III tumor thrombi in 2 patients and the grade I tumor thrombus in 1 patient diagnosed before operation were reduced to grade Ⅱ and upgraded to grade Ⅱ,respectively,by TEE.One patient had no floating tumor thrombus at the end of tumor thrombus before operation,and the blocking position was adjusted in time with the assistance of TEE to avoid the shedding of the floating tumor thrombus. Conclusion TEE can accurately determine and dynamically monitor the location and shape of inferior vena cava tumor thrombus,which provides an important reference and has a significant clinical value in the operation of renal cell carcinoma with inferior vena cava tumor thrombus.

This study investigated the mechanism of Danggui Shaoyao Powder(DSP) against mitophagy in rat model of Alzheimer's disease(AD) induced by streptozotocin(STZ) based on PTEN induced putative kinase 1(PINK1)-Parkin signaling pathway. The AD rat model was established by injecting STZ into the lateral ventricle, and the rats were divided into normal group, model group, DSP low-dose group(12 g·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)), DSP medium-dose group(24 g·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)), and DSP high-dose group(36 g·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)). Morris water maze test was used to detect the learning and memory function of the rats, and transmission electron microscopy and immunofluorescence were employed to detect mitophagy. The protein expression levels of PINK1, Parkin, LC3BⅠ/LC3BⅡ, and p62 were assayed by Western blot. Compared with the normal group, the model group showed a significant decrease in the learning and memory function(P<0.01), reduced protein expression of PINK1 and Parkin(P<0.05), increased protein expression of LC3BⅠ/LC3BⅡ and p62(P<0.05), and decreased occurrence of mitophagy(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the DSP medium-and high-dose groups notably improved the learning and memory ability of AD rats, which mainly manifested as shortened escape latency, leng-thened time in target quadrants and elevated number of crossing the platform(P<0.05 or P<0.01), remarkably activated mitophagy(P<0.05), up-regulated the protein expression of PINK1 and Parkin, and down-regulated the protein expression of LC3BⅠ/LC3BⅡ and p62(P<0.05 or P<0.01). These results demonstrated that DSP might promote mitophagy mediated by PINK1-Parkin pathway to remove damaged mitochondria and improve mitochondrial function, thereby exerting a neuroprotective effect.

In order to further cultivate bioscience talents, we compared and analyzed the teaching effects of different teaching modes of Bioscience courses in our university. Under the condition that the difficulty of the examination subjects and papers remains unchanged, we collected and compared the examination results of the online teaching mode covering three grades of students with the corresponding examination results of the traditional teaching mode of the previous academic year. After comparing the final examination results of 21 courses, we found that the online teaching effect of examination courses with long courses and experimental courses is better (such as physiology, pathology, etc.). The phenomenon that online teaching cannot be carried out normally has affected most students (66.28%, 57/86), indicating that the experimental course cannot be replaced by online teaching. At the same time, students who expected systematic teaching reform of biological science major courses accounted for the majority in the survey (80.23%, 69/86). Based on this, we conclude that the mixed teaching mode with traditional teaching as the main body of teaching and online platform technology as the auxiliary can become a new exploration direction in undergraduate teaching of Bioscience majors in medical colleges and universities.

The tumors of central nervous system refer to a group of benign and malignant diseases originating from tissues or structures within the central nervous system. Common tumors of central nervous system are sporadic, but a few have familial onset. Compared with sporadic brain tumors, the clinical symptoms, diagnostic ideas and follow-up review plans of familial brain tumors are more complicated. The multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment (MDT) mode usually refers to a treatment mode in which a case involving multiple organs and systems is discussed, and the best treatment plan is formulated for the patient based on the comprehensive opinions of various disciplines. Because familial brain tumors often involve multiple organs, multiple disciplines and multiple systems, and their low incidence leads to less clinical experience for neurosurgeons, the MDT model is more conducive to efficient diagnosis, treatment and management of familial brain tumors. This review elaborates on the neurosurgeon-led MDT model, and introduces the latest research on the epidemiology, genetic characteristics, clinical manifestations, diagnostic ideas and multidisciplinary management of familial brain tumors.

AR (androgen receptor) and CCAT2 are two prostate cancer (PCa)-related genes whereas their relationship is not yet reported. AR is the classical major functional gene in PCa progression. CCAT2, a non-coding gene, was identified based on big-data GWAS (Genome-Wide Association Studies) in the year of 2013. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is usually used to treat PCa in the early stage. After persistent androgen deprivation, PCa would generally lead to castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), whereas the mechanism is yet unclear. Here we explore the function of AR and CCAT2 in PCa progression, especially their relation in androgen sensitive and insensitive cell model LNCap and DU145. We found a loop between AR and CCAT2 transcription by over-expression and knock-down strategies. In DU145 cells, G-CCAT2 activated AR mRNA level 2. 6 times, while T-CCAT2 inhibited it to 0. 2 times (P<0. 05). In LNCaP cells, G-CCAT2 could activate AR mRNA levels 1. 5 times, and TCCAT2 had no significant effect (P<0. 05). Under overexpression of AR in DU145 cells, the expression of CCAT2 increased 2. 9 times (P < 0. 05). The abundance of CCAT2 decreased to 0. 48 (P < 0. 05) in LNCaP cells by AR knock-down. Reporter gene analysis showed that CCAT2 could function on the AR promoter. We then performed CCK8 assays and AR protein level detection as supplement for the new gene CCAT2 studies. Finally we primarily studied some target genes that are related to AR and CCAT2 . The results showed that the G-CCAT2 transcript could activate AR expression in LNCap cells while UCCAT2 had no significant effect. In DU145 cells, G-CCAT2 exhibited a more relative stronger activation effect on AR, and U-CCAT2 could inhibit AR transcription. AR activates the transcriptional activity of CCAT2 in both cell lines, suggesting a feedback regulation between them. Our data showed that there would be a feedback loop between CCAT2 and AR, which may indicate a new method for PCa treatment.

ObjectiveTo study the virulence and biofilm inhibition effect of Fufang Huangbai Fluid Paint (FFHBFP) on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and to explore the antibacterial effect of FFHBFP on MRSA, which provides a theoretical basis and reference for clinical medication. MethodFirstly, the microdilution method and time–growth curve were used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of FFHBFP and vancomycin (VAN) against MRSA and the effect on bacterial growth. The effects of FFHBFP and VAN on the inhibition of MRSA virulence factor lipase and restoration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) sensitivity were detected under sub-minimum inhibitory concentration (sub-MIC). The inhibitory effect of FFHBFP and VAN on MRSA biofilm formation and maturation was detected by the microplate method. The morphological changes of mature biofilms before and after administration were observed under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Real-time polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) was utilized to detect the effect of 50.600 g·L-1 concentration of FFHBFP on the expression of MRSA virulence gene crtM and biofilm-forming genes fnbA and icaA. Finally, molecular docking technology was used to predict the mechanism of potential antibacterial active ingredients of FFHBFP in inhibiting the virulence and biofilm of MRSA. ResultThe MIC of VAN was 2 mg·L-1, and VAN below 1 mg·L-1 exerted no effect on MRSA growth. The MIC of FFHBFP was not determined, while the 101.200-202.400 g·L-1 original solution inhibited MRSA growth. Compared with the blank group and the VAN group, sub-MIC (25.300-50.600 g·L-1 original solution) inhibited lipase and recovered MRSA sensitivity to H2O2 (P<0.01). The results of the microplate method showed that FFHBFP (25.300-202.400 g·L-1 original solution) inhibited biofilm formation and maturation (P<0.05, P<0.01). The SEM exhibited that FFHBFP made the structure of biofilm loose and the size of the bacteria varied. FFHBFP at 50.600 g·L-1 concentration can inhibit the expression of related virulence genes and biofilm-forming genes (P<0.05, P<0.01), and molecular docking results also showed that the main antibacterial active ingredients in FFHBFP have good binding ability to the target. ConclusionFFHBFP that cannot directly kill MRSA exerts clinical efficacy by impairing virulence expression, biofilm formation, and other pathogenic properties.

Surgery is so far the most effective treatment for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Since the 1990s, the pathology spectrum of early-stage lung cancer has gradually changed because of the increased detection of ground-glass opacity (GGO). The findings from preoperative thin-section computed tomography are strong predictors for the invasiveness and lymph node involvement of GGO, and limited surgery is believed to be implemented safely for radiological less invasive lesions, which calls into question the dominance of lobectomy. After the JCOG0201 trial establishing the radiologic criteria of pathological noninvasiveness for lung adenocarcinoma, the Japan Clinical Oncology Group (JCOG) and the West Japan Oncology Group (WJOG) have successively carried out a series of prospective imaging-guided trials to investigate the optimal surgical procedure for early-stage lung cancer. JCOG0804, was a single-arm, non-randomized, confirmatory trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sublobar resection (wedge resection and segmentectomy) for GGO dominant peripheral lung cancer. The primary end point was 5-year relapse-free survival. JCOG0802/WJOG4607L, was a multicentre, open-label, phase 3, randomized, controlled, non-inferiority trial to investigate if segmentectomy was non-inferior to lobectomy in patients with small-sized peripheral NSCLC. The primary endpoint was 5-year overall survival. JCOG1211 was also a non-randomized confirmatory trial to confirm the efficacy of a segmentectomy for clinical T1N0 lung cancer with dominant GGO. The primary endpoint was 5-year relapse-free survival. The findings of JCOG0804 and JCOG0802, and the primary analysis results of JCOG1211 have been officially published. This article systematically reviewed and interpreted the results of the JCOG lung cancer surgery trial series.

This study investigated the mechanism of baicalin on lipopolysaccharide(LPS)/interferon γ(IFN-γ)-induced inflammatory microglia based on the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2(TREM2)/Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/nuclear factor kappaB(NF-κB) pathway. Specifically, LPS and IFN-γ were used to induce inflammation in mouse microglia BV2 cells. Then the normal group, model group, low-dose(5 μmol·L~(-1)) baicalin group, medium-dose(10 μmol·L~(-1)) baicalin group, high-dose(20 μmol·L~(-1)) baicalin group, and minocycline(10 μmol·L~(-1)) group were designed. Cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay and cell morphology was observed under bright field. The expression of interleukin-1β(IL-1β), interleukin-4(IL-4), inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS), interleukin-6(IL-6), interleukin-10(IL-10), and arginase-1(Arg-1) mRNA was detected by real-time quantitative PCR, the protein expression of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), IL-1β, TREM2, TLR4, inhibitor kappaB-alpha(IκBα), p-IκBα, NF-κB p65 and p-NF-κB p65 by Western blot, and transfer of NF-κB p65 from cytoplasm to nucleus by cellular immunofluorescence. Compared with the normal group, most of the BV2 cells in the model group tended to demonstrate the pro-inflammatory M1 amoeba morphology, and the model group showed significant increase in the mRNA levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and iNOS, decrease in the mRNA levels of IL-4, IL-10, and Arg-1(P<0.01), rise of the protein expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, TLR4, p-IκBα, and p-NF-κB p65(P<0.01), reduction in TREM2 protein expression, and increase in the expression of NF-κB p65 in nucleus. Compared with the model group, baicalin groups and minocycline group showed the recovery of BV2 cell morphology, significant decrease in the mRNA levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and iNOS, increase in the mRNA levels of IL-4, IL-10, and Arg-1(P<0.01), reduction in the protein expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, TLR4, p-IκBα, and p-NF-κB p65(P<0.05), rise of TREM2 protein expression, and decrease in the expression of NF-κB p65 in nucleus. In summary, these results suggest that baicalin can regulate the imbalance between TREM2 and TLR4 of microglia and inhibit the activation of downstream NF-κB, thus promoting the polarization of microglia from pro-inflammatory phenotype to anti-inflammatory phenotype.

Thanks to the new surgical approach, transanal total mesorectal excision (taTME) has a better operative field exposure than laparoscopic-assisted total mesorectal excision (laTME), especially for male patients with obesity, pelvic stenosis or prostate hypertrophy. Nevertheless, whether the urogenital function and quality of life after taTME are better as compared to laTME requires further study. According to the existing studies, taTME and laTME are not significantly different in symptoms of the urology system for male patients, but some large sample clinical studies show that the incidence of urethral mechanical injury after taTME is higher. Unfortunately, there is no elaboration on that for females. The sexual function of male patients after taTME and laTME is both impaired. The sexual function of male patients will be relieved to different degrees over time, but there is no significant difference. Compared with laTME, taTME shows advantages in the sexual function for female patients. There is no significant difference in short-term urogenital system function between taTME and laTME at present. As a new surgical approach, the impact on urogenital system function after taTME is acceptable. However, whether there is a significant difference in urogenital function between taTME and laTME needs further research. In addition, functional results still need comprehensive evaluation, and preoperative baseline evaluation also needs to be enhanced. The functional evaluation for male and female should be carried out separately rather than confused. Questionnaire for evaluation of functional results also needs to be verified.

Objective: To investigate the clinical effects of free transplantation of expanded ilioinguinal flaps in the reconstruction of severe scar contracture after extensive burns. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted. From August 2017 to October 2021, 7 patients with severe scar contracture deformity caused by extensive burns were hospitalized in Tongren Hospital of Wuhan University & Wuhan Third Hospital, including 5 males and 2 females, aged 26-65 years, with scar area of 20 cm×4 cm-34 cm×14 cm. In the first stage, the rectangular skin and soft tissue expander (hereinafter referred to as the expander) with rated capacity of 500-600 mL were embedded above the inguinal ligament, and then normal saline was injected after stitch removal for expansion to meet the needs of repair surgery. In the second stage, the scar was removed by surgical excision to correct the deformity and release the adhesion and contracture; after the removal of the expanders, the expanded ilioinguinal free flaps were harvested. When a larger flap was needed, the paraumbilical perforator flap was harvested at the same time, and the flaps were transplanted to the secondary wound after scar resection. The number of embedded expanders, the total amount of injected normal saline, the expansion time, the complications of skin and soft tissue expansion, the number, area, thickness, and anastomotic vascular pedicles of the expanded ilioinguinal flaps being resected, the type of flaps used, the repair method of flap donor sites, and the survival of flaps after operation were observed and recorded. The long-term repair effect and donor site condition were followed up. At the last follow-up, the patients' satisfaction with the curative effect of each surgical site was investigated according to the grade 5 score of Likert scale. Results: A total of 10 expanders were embedded in 7 patients, of which 4 patients had 1 each and 3 patients had 2 each. The total volume of normal saline injected was 800-1 800 (1 342±385) mL, and the expansion time was 4-24 (11±5) months. One patient had the expander exposed due to infection after the expander being inserted, while the other patients had no complications of skin and soft tissue expansion. Totally 10 expanded ilioinguinal flaps with the area of 22 cm×6 cm-36 cm×16 cm ((326±132) cm2) and the thickness of 0.6-1.1 (0.77±0.16) cm were harvested. Among the 10 expanded ilioinguinal flaps, 5 were pedicled with the superficial circumflex iliac artery, 3 with the superficial abdominal artery with relatively large caliber, 1 with the common trunk of the superficial circumflex iliac artery and the superficial abdominal artery, and 1 flap was anastomosed with the superficial circumflex iliac artery and bridged the superficial abdominal artery for intra-arterial supercharge. Unilateral expanded ilioinguinal flap combined with ipsilateral paraumbilical perforator flap were harvested in 4 cases, bilateral expanded ilioinguinal flaps were harvested in 1 case, and unilateral expanded ilioinguinal flap was harvested in 2 cases. Except for 1 case being transplanted with autologous split-thickness scalp to repair the flap donor site after combined resection of bilateral expanded ilioinguinal flaps, the donor sites of the other patients were sutured directly. All the flaps survived after operation without tip necrosis or wound residue. Follow-up for 3-30 (15±10) months showed that the flap was soft and not bloated, the function and appearance of the recipient area were significantly improved compared with those before operation, and the appearance of the donor sites was good. At the last follow-up, the patients' satisfaction with the treatment effect of the surgical site scored 4-5 (4.5±0.4). Conclusions: The expanded ilioinguinal flap can be obtained in a large area. It has the advantages of rich blood supply, less damage to the donor site, concealed location, and being convenient to be resected and transplanted in combination with the paraumbilical perforator flap. It is suitable for the clinical reconstruction and treatment of severe scar contracture deformity after extensive burns.

Objective: To assess the incidence of symptomatic torus tubarius hypertrophy (TTH) in recurred OSA in children, and to explore the preliminary experience of partial resection of TTH assisted with radiofrequency ablation. Methods: From January 2004 to February 2020, 4 922 children, who diagnosed as OSA and received adenotonsillectomy at the Department of Otolaryngology, The 4th Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital, were retrospectively reviewed. There were 3 266 males and 1 656 females, the age ranged from 1 to 14 years old(median age of 5.0 years). Twenty-two cases were identified with recurrence of OSA syndrome, and the clinical data, including sex, age of primary operation, age of recurrence and presentation, and opertation methods were analyzed. Follow-up was carried out by outpatient visit or telephone. Graphpad prism 5.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results: Twenty-two cases were identified as recurred OSA and received revised surgery in 4 922 cases. Among these 22 cases, 11 cases were diagnosed as TTH resulting in an incidence of 2.23‰(11/4 922), 1 case was cicatricial adhesion on tubal torus (0.20‰, 1/4 922), 10 cases were residual adenoid combined with tubal tonsil hypertrophy (2.03‰, 10/4 922). Median age of primary operation was 3.0 years (range:2.4 to 6.0 years) in 11 TTH cases. Recurrent interval varied from 2 months to 5.5 years (2.4±1.9 years) after first operation. Age of revised partial resection of TTH was 7.0±2.7 years (range: 4.0 to 12.0 years). Average time interval between primary operation and revised operation was 3.5±2.1 years (range: 0.5 to 6.0 years). Individualized treatments were carried out based on partial resection of TTH assisted with radiofrequency ablation. All of 11 cases received satisfied therapeutic results without nasopharyngeal stenosis occured. Twenty-two cases were followed up for 1.6 to 13 years (median follow-up time was 6.2 years). Conclusions: TTH contributed to recurred OSA in child. TTH might be misdiagnosed as tubal tonsil hypertrophy. Partial resection of TTH assisted with radiofrequency ablation was a safty and effective treatment.

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of the middle facial rejuvenation by cutting off the tear trough ligament and the orbicularis retaining ligament complex, opening the soft tissue spaces, combined with the lower eyelid muscle flap lateral canthus periosteum suspension and the orbital septum fat release.Methods:The clinical data of 39 patients with pouch and lacrimal groove, eyelid buccal groove depression in the Department of Cosmetic Surgery, Chongqing Chengshang Medical Beauty Clinic from June 2018 to June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, including 2 males and 37 females, aged 30-58 (39±7) years. Through the incision of lower eyelid margin, the tear trough ligament and the orbicularis retaining ligament were completely severed. Up on the periosteum blunt, the preseptal, premaxillary and the prezygomatic spaces were dissected, and thus the fat of orbital diaphragmatic was fully expanded, by moving down and fixing on the inside, midside and outside periosteum of the inferior edge of the orbital bone. The lower eyelid muscle flap was suspended on the lateral canthus periosteum at the same time.Results:The patients were followed up for 12 months, the pouch, lacrimal groove and eyelid buccal groove depression were solved, the ptosis tissue of middle face was restored well and the effect was lasting. 3 patients felt the external eye angle traction after operation, and the symptoms disappeared 3-4 weeks later. 1 patient had mild eyelid ball separation due to hematoma organization after operation, and symptoms disappeared 3 months after anti scar treatment.Conclusions:For patients with pouch, lacrimal groove depression, eyelid buccal groove depression and midface tissue ptosis, the operation can safely and effectively solve the above problems and achieve the purpose of rejuvenation of the middle face, which is worthy of clinical application.

Innate immune system, a non-specific defense system formed after birth, is body's first line of defense against pathogens. Innate immunity also plays a key role in the tumor immunosurveillance. With the clinical success of cancer immunotherapy, the regulatory mechanism of innate immune cells in antitumor response has begun to draw increasing attention. Recently, it has been recognized that metabolic regulation plays a vital role in innate immunity, in particular in the tumor microenvironment where the metabolic reprogramming in cancer increases the complexity of immunometabolism yet also provides therapeutic vulnerabilities. This review summarizes the recent progress in understanding the metabolic regulation of the innate immune response. We discuss how metabolites of glucose, amino acids, lipid and nucleotide metabolism regulate the function of innate immune cells. We pay the special attention to the metabolic crosstalk between immune cells or tumor-immune cells in the tumor microenvironment. With the review, we hope to get a better understanding of metabolic regulation of antitumor immunity and provide basis for metabolism-targeted immunotherapy.

In this study, the antioxidant property changes in fermented Ziziphi Spinosae Semen(FZSS) with Poria cocos were analyzed by DPPH, ABTS and FRAP methods. Then the content determination of active ingredients and ~1H nuclear magnetic resonance(~1H-NMR) spectroscopy were also used to investigate the mechanism of FZSS with P. cocos in enhancing the antioxidant activity. The results showed that the content of active ingredients such as total phenols, total saponins and total polysaccharides were significantly increased during the fermentation time. The results of ~1H-NMR metabonomics showed that the contents of amino acids such as leucine, lysine, valine and alanine, nitrogen compounds such as creatine, creatinine, and betaine, and secondary metabolites, for instance, jujuboside A and spinosin were higher after fermentation, and above components showed positive correlation with antioxidant capacity in Pearson correlation analysis. Therefore, it was inferred that the enhancement of antioxidant activity of FZSS may be the result of the joint action of various chemical components. This study preliminarily clarified the mechanism of FZSS in enhancing the antioxidant activity, and provided new research ideas for the product development and utilization of FZSS.
