Rapeseed oil is consumed worldwide, and its quality is closely related to the raw rapeseed material. In this work, the quality and flavor differences of rapeseed oil from twelve varieties with two growth periods were studied. The results showed that different varieties responded differently to changes in growth periods, with the GXY1 variety having the greatest combined effect. Shortening the growth period may reduce the moisture and protein content and increase the oil content of rapeseed. It may also enhance the oleic acid content and decrease the linoleic acid content. A total of 62 aroma compounds were identified by gas chromatography-ion migration spectrometry (GC-IMS), with aldehydes being the main flavor compounds. The flavor fingerprint of rapeseed oil derived from different varieties was effectively constructed. Seven key aroma compounds with relative odor activity value (ROAV) > 1 were identified, which significantly influenced the flavor of rapeseed oil. This work may provide new insights for selecting favorable rapeseed varieties for industrial production of high-quality rapeseed oil.

The total water-soluble polysaccharide (TP) of Dendrobium catenatum is composed of starch and active non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs) with glucomannan as the main structural type. Although the TP content has been used as a quality assessment indicator for many years, the NSPs content in samples from different environments and growth seasons have not been reported. In this study, we found that NSPs had stronger antioxidant activity than TP. The NSPs content was higher in wild-simulated environments including rocks and trees compared to plantings grown in greenhouse. The culture mode and growth period affected the ratio of NSPs and starch. Facility cultivation provided optimal growth conditions but produced more starch, whereas wild-simulated cultivation resulted in a higher ratio of NSPs, particularly in September. Therefore, cultivation by lithophytation and epiphytation may be preferable to facility plantings, which is expected to be enormously useful for the current production and quality control of D . catenatum .

Eupatorium fortunei Turcz. is a widely used Chinese herbal medicine in China. In this study, a gas chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated to simultaneously determine the contents of p-cymene, thymol, neryl acetate, and β-caryophyllene in roots, stems, and leaves of Eupatorium fortunei Turcz. harvested at different growth periods. All four constituents could be detected in leaves, three could be detected in stems except β-caryophyllene, and only thymol could be detected in roots. The order of the total contents of four constituents in different parts was leaves > stems > roots. It indicated that the leaves could be the proper medicinal parts of Eupatorium fortunei Turcz. The content of four constituents in leaves varied a lot among different growth periods and showed an M-shaped change trend with the growth of Eupatorium fortunei Turcz. The four constituents accumulated to the highest values in early July followed by mid-September. Accordingly, the best harvest time of Eupatorium fortunei Turcz. is early July and mid-September.

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a highly prevalent condition in contemporary society. The conventional treatment of minoxidil tincture is hindered by issues such as skin irritation caused by ethanol, non-specific accumulation in hair follicles, and short retention due to its liquid form. Herein, we have developed a novel minoxidil-incorporated engineered exosomes biopotentiated hydrogel (Gel@MNs) that has the capability to modulate the perifollicular microenvironment for the treatment of AGA. Leveraging the exceptional skin penetration abilities of flexible liposomes and the targeting properties of exosomes, the encapsulated minoxidil can be effectively delivered to the hair follicles. In comparison to free minoxidil, Gel@MNs demonstrated accelerated hair regeneration in an AGA mouse model without causing significant skin irritation. This was evidenced by an increase in both the number and size of hair follicles within the dermal layer, enhanced capillary formation surrounding the follicles, and the regulation of the transition of hair follicle cells from the telogen phase to the anagen growth phase. Therefore, this safe and microenvironment-modifying hybrid exosome-embedded hydrogel shows promising potential for clinical treatment of AGA.

Alopecia areata (AA) is a prevalent autoimmune condition that causes sudden hair loss and poses significant psychological challenges to affected individuals. Current treatments, including corticosteroids and Janus kinase inhibitors, fail to provide long-term efficacy due to adverse effects and relapse after cessation. This study introduces a nanoparticle (NP) system that codeliver diphenylcyclopropenone (DPCP) and rapamycin (RAPA) prodrugs to induce immune tolerance and promote hair regeneration. The results demonstrated that the coassembled NPs exhibited uniformity and stability, were efficiently taken up by antigen-presenting cells (APCs), and successfully induced dendritic cells (DCs) to differentiate into tolerogenic phenotypes in vitro. In vivo studies on a mouse model of alopecia showed that these NPs significantly accelerated the transition of hair follicles from the telogen phase to the anagen phase, promoting hair regrowth. This research presents a promising therapeutic strategy for AA and offers insights into treating autoimmune diseases where autoantigens are unclear.

The present study was executed to analyze the functional phytochemicals of hulless barley grass grown under different intensities of ultraviolet stress. The wheat seedlings were imposed to 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 h ultraviolet radiation and harvested in different times at vegetative stage. Specifically, the contents of total polyphenols, total flavonoids, total triterpenes, total polysaccharides, proanthocyanidins, and chlorophyll were determined and antioxidants capacity was evaluated by OH• and 2,2’-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) scavenging ability. A mathematical model (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution, TOPSIS) was also employed for the comprehensive evaluation of functional components of hulless barley grass at different growth stages. The results showed that the UV stress could efficiently improve/preserve the contents of total polyphenols, total flavonoids, total triterpenes, total polysaccharides, proanthocyanidins, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and total chlorophyll, as well as the OH• and ABTS scavenging capacity. TOPSIS evaluation revealed that the highest phytochemical contents were yield on the 15th day under 1.0 h ultraviolet treatment.

In this study, garlic bulbs after harvesting blanched garlic leaves at four different growth periods were used as the main experimental objects, and black garlic was prepared by solid-state fermentation at variable temperatures. The volatile organic compounds and flavor fingerprints of black garlic were analyzed by headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS), and the differences of volatile organic compounds in black garlic were compared by principal component analysis (PCA). The physical and chemical indexes of black garlic changed slightly. As the Maillard reaction went on more thoroughly, the content of 5- HMF in black garlic increased. GC-IMS provided information on the characteristics and intensity of 55 volatile organic compounds (monomers and dimers). The results showed that the relative content of organosulfur compounds in black garlic decreased gradually with the extension of the garlic bulb growth period, which was due to the inherent instability of the organosulfur compounds and more complex compounds being formed as precursors in further reactions. The results by PCA showed that BG0 samples can be well distinguished from BG20 samples.

Existing treatments for androgenetic alopecia (AGA) are unsatisfactory, owing to the two major reasons: (1) Oxidative stress and vascularization deficiency in the perifollicular microenvironment provoke the premature senescence of hair follicles, limiting the transformation of hair growth cycle from the telogen to the anagen phase; (2) The amount of drug delivered to the perifollicular region located in the deep dermis is very limited for passive drug delivery systems. Herein, we developed a gas-propelled microneedle patch integrated with ferrum-chelated puerarin/quercetin nanoparticles (PQFN) to increase drug accumulation in hair follicles and reshape the perifollicular microenvironment for improved hair-regenerating effects. PQFN can rejuvenate testosterone (Tes)-induced senescence of dermal papilla cells by scavenging ROS, restoring mitochondrial function, regulating signaling pathways related to hair regeneration, and upregulating hair growth-promoting genes. PQFN more efficiently promoted endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and tube formation than ferrum-chelated quercetin nanoparticles (QFN) because of puerarin's proangiogenic effects. Compared with passive MNs, gas-propelled MNs promoted drug diffusion and permeation into deeper skin layers, resulting in significantly higher drug accumulation in hair follicles. Pharmacodynamic studies on an AGA mouse model further showed that PQFN-loaded active MNs achieved higher hair coverage by alleviating oxidative stress, promoting angiogenesis, and rejuvenating senescent cells. Therefore, this study presents a novel “anti-hair follicle aging” treatment strategy for AGA.
