| anti-fatigue activity of a triterpenoid-rich extract from chinese bamboo shavings (caulis bamfusae in taeniam). | the anti-fatigue activity of a pentacyclic triterpenoid extract from bamboo shavings (ebs) from the bark of bamboo (bambusa tuldoides munro), was evaluated in balb/c mice. ebs, isolated by the supercritical co(2) fluid extraction (sfe) technique, was given to mice at concentrations of 0.04 (low-dose group), 0.08 (middle-dose group) and 0.25 g/kg body weight (high-dose group). the anti-fatigue activity of ebs was estimated by the change in body weight, weight-loaded swimming test and climbing tes ... | 2006 | 16886233 |
| effects of high nutrient supply on the growth of seven bamboo species. | over the last decade, bamboo has emerged as an interesting plant for the treatment of various polluted waters using plant-based wastewater treatment systems. in these systems, nitrogen and phosphorous concentrations in wastewater can exceed plant requirements and potentially limit plant growth. the effects of two nutrient rates on the growth of seven bamboo species were assessed in a one-year experiment: dendrocalamus strictus, thyrsostachys siamensis, bambusa tuldoides, gigantochloa wrayi, bamb ... | 2014 | 24933901 |
| enantiomeric determination of four diastereoisomeric oxyneolignans from bambusa tuldoides munro. | bambusa tuldoides munro, a bamboo species, is used as a health food, dietary supplement and folk medicine in china, and produces lignans that can be used to supplement other natural sources. | 2014 | 25196911 |
| drinking water decontamination by biological denitrification using fresh bamboo as inoculum source. | groundwater contamination is becoming a serious problem in many brazilian regions. european countries started to deal with this issue in the 1980s, mainly caused by the extensive usage of nitrogenous fertilizers and the absence of domestic wastewater treatment. due to its high solubility, nitrate readily passes through the soil and reaches the aquifer. thereafter, this ion moves, following groundwater flow, and can be found several kilometers from the area where the pollution occurred. concern a ... | 2014 | 24700131 |
| a phylogenetic re-evaluation of arthrinium. | although the genus arthrinium (sexual morph apiospora) is commonly isolated as an endophyte from a range of substrates, and is extremely interesting for the pharmaceutical industry, its molecular phylogeny has never been resolved. based on morphology and dna sequence data of the large subunit nuclear ribosomal rna gene (lsu, 28s) and the internal transcribed spacers (its) and 5.8s rrna gene of the nrdna operon, the genus arthrinium is shown to belong to apiosporaceae in xylariales. arthrinium is ... | 2013 | 23898419 |
| isolation and identification of lignans from caulis bambusae in taenia with antioxidant properties. | caulis bambusae in taenia is a medicinal preparation from bambusa tuldoides munro consisting of skinless slices of the stem (bamboo shavings) and used as a traditional health food in tea, wine, and soup in asia. three novel lignans, (-)-7'-epi-lyoniresinol 4,9'-di-o-β-d-glucopyranoside (7), (-)-lyoniresinol 4,9'-di-o-β-d-glucopyranoside (8), bambulignan a (10), and seven known lignan compounds (1-6 and 9) were isolated from caulis bambusae in taenia. the structures of the lignans were determined ... | 2013 | 23578339 |
| accumulation of metals in the soil of an overland flow wastewater treatment system. | accumulation of co, cu, cr, mo, ni, pb and zn was evaluated in a soil profile of an overland flow system used for the post-treatment of urban wastewater. a pilot version of the overland flow system received urban wastewater from five up-flow anaerobic filters filled with bamboo (bambusa tuldoides) rings. the anaerobic effluent was applied as feed over 18 months at rates varying from 7 to 28 l min(-1), to a vegetated slope length covered with tifton 85 (cynodon) sp. grass. soil and plant samples ... | 2002 | 12509052 |
