Editorial Comment to Robot-assisted laparoscopic versus open partial nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma in patients with severe chronic kidney disease.

Neuroprotective and antioxidant activities of different polarity parts of the extracts of the leaf and rhizome from Yongzhou.

In order to make better use of the two local dominant plant resources of and from Yongzhou in Hunan province, the neuroprotective and antioxidant activities of extracts from the leaf and rhizome, and the correlation between these two kinds of activities, were analyzed. The effects of these two plant extracts on aged mice blood physiology and central neuron cell activity were then determined ...
