Uncovering the anti-obesity constituents in Ginkgo biloba extract and deciphering their synergistic effects
This study demonstrated a case study for uncovering the anti-obesity constituents in an anti-obesity herbal medicine (Ginkgo biloba extract) and deciphering their synergistic effects via targeting human pancreatic lipase (hPL). Following screening the anti-hPL effects of eighty herbal medicines, Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE50) was found with the most potent anti-hPL activity. Global chemical profiling of herbal constituents coupling with hPL inhibition assay revealed that the bioflavonoids and several flavonoids in GBE50 were key anti-hPL constituents. Among all tested thirty-eight constituents, sciadopitysin, bilobetin, que...

Efficient removal of both heavy metal ion and dyes from wastewater using magnetic response adsorbent of block polymer brush-grafted N-doped biochar
Chemosphere. 2023 Aug 14:139811. doi: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.139811. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe recovery of biomass from agricultural and forestry waste could realize effective utilization of waste and synthesis of novel adsorbent. Herein, porous biochar was prepared from waste ginkgo biloba leaves and modified by Reversible Addition-Fragmentation Chain Transfer Polymerization (RAFT). And the prepared adsorbent exhibited excellent adsorption capacity owing to its abundant functional groups and porous structure. In addition, the adsorption capacities of the prepared adsorbent for Malachite Green (MG), Amaranth (A...

Molten salt strategy to activate biochar for enhancing biohydrogen production
In this study, campus greening wastes-ginkgo leaves were used to produce molten salt-modified biochar (MSBC) and nitrogen (N2)-atmosphere BC (NBC) in molten salt and N2 environment at 800 °C, respectively. MSBC showed excellent properties including high specific surface area and electron transfer ability. After supplementation with MSBC, H2 yield rose by 32.4% compared to the control group without carbon material. Electrochemical analysis revealed MSBC improved the electrochemical properties of sludge. Furthermore, MSBC optimized the microbial community structure and increased the relative abundance of dominant microbes, ...

Treating Severe Adverse Drug Reactions Caused by Ischemic Optic Neuropathy with Ginkgo Biloba Extract Injection: A Case Report
CONCLUSIONS: This case underscores the need for vigilance when prescribing ginkgo biloba extract, particularly in middle-aged and elderly patients. Despite no previous history of allergies and adherence to the prescribed dosage, severe ADR can still occur. Close monitoring of patients within the first 30 minutes of medication administration is crucial. Furthermore, strict adherence to drug instructions, proper TCM syndrome differentiation, appropriate choice of infusion solvents, and strict control of drip rates should be considered to enhance patient safety. Other factors such as patient age, allergy history, and initial ...
