plants, rich in bioactive dibenzocyclooctadienes and triterpenoids, are widely used in traditional medicine and the food industry. Previous LC-MS research identified only 25 dibenzocyclooctadienes from , with issues including isomer confusion and false positives. To overcome these hurdles, this study developed machine learning models based on 161 previously isolated dibenzocyclooctadienes and triterpenoids from to predict the retention times (RT) and fragmentation patterns of reference-standard-lacking compounds from or Schisandraceae. The KadsuraChem LC-MS database was constructed by integrating RT, fragmentation patterns, MS2 spectra, and chemical information on these constituents using mzVault and MassLists, which effectively minimized false positives and facilitated isomer differentiation, significantly improving the accuracy and efficiency of identification. Additionally, roots and fruits were found to contain higher levels of lignans and triterpenoids than the stems and leaves, laying a solid foundation for further research and utilization of .

Cystofilobasidium infirmominiatum, biotechnologically significant yeast, is increasingly garnering attention due to its superior ability to produce valuable carotenoids and lipids. Nonetheless, until now, the reference genome that governs the biosynthesis of carotenoids and lipids in C. infirmominiatum remains unreported.

Abstract: The rise of multidrug-resistant poses significant challenges in hospital settings. This study evaluates the antimicrobial potential of the aqueous extract of (AETC) against strain AB0014, isolated from a preterm neonate presenting sepsis. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined using the microdilution method.

Background: Atherosclerosis (AS) is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular diseases globally, characterised by the accumulation of lipids and cholesterol in arterial walls, causing vascular narrowing and sclerosis along with chronic inflammation; this leads to increased risk of heart disease and stroke, significantly impacting patients' health. Danxia Tiaoban Decoction (DXTB), a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula, has demonstrated positive clinical effects in treating AS; however, its mechanisms of action remain unclear.
Objective: To explore the potential mechanisms of action of DXTB in treating AS through multi-omics integration and experimental validation.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the main active substances of Qilin pills by high performance liquid chromatogre-electrostatic field orbitrap mass spectrometry (HPLC-Q-Orbitrap /MS), and explore the mechanism of its action in the treatment of asthenozoospermia by combining network pharmacology and molecular docking.
Methods: (1) Qilin pills were quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed by HPLC-Q-Orbitrap /MS. (2) The top 100 compounds in Qilin pills were screened by content analysis and SwissADME, and their targets were predicted.
The consumption of agricultural products has increased in recent years owing to abundant production and improved living standards. Veterinary drugs are highly commercialized and widely used in animal husbandry to ensure animal health and production performance. Moreover, pesticides can become enriched during animal breeding, resulting in animal-derived food pollution through foraging, drinking, and environmental disinfection that can potentially damage human health.
