“…In November 2013, the National Health and Family Planning Commission of the People’s Republic of China approved the flower of P. ostii as a novel food resource (Zhang et al, ). P. decomposita seeds provide abundant ALA to balance the ω6/ω3 ratio which can be an excellent resources of edible oil (Yu, Du, Yuan, & Hu, ). Our present work aims to examine and compare the anti‐melanogenesis effects of the flowers of P. ostii and P. decomposita and their mechanisms of action.…”

This investigation seeks to identify the effects of the EtOAc fractions of different flower parts of Paeonia decomposita (Pd) and Paeonia ostii (Po) on melanogenesis and their mechanisms of action in B16 melanoma cells. Cell viability assay showed that Pd‐1, Po‐1 (the petals of Pd or Po), Pd‐3 and Po‐3 (the stamens of Pd or Po) at 25 μg/ml produced lower toxic activities in B16 cells. Pd‐1 and Po‐1 extracts considerably reduced the melanin content and inhibited tyrosinase and DOPA oxidase activity. Moreover, Pd‐1 and Po‐1 down‐regulated the expressions of MC1R, MITF, TRP‐1, TRP‐2, and tyrosinase. These extracts also reduce cAMP levels and inhibited the phosphorylation of CREB, which might be due to the presence of high concentrations of phenolic compounds and flavonoids. Our results suggested that Pd‐1 and Po‐1 are able to modulate the cAMP‐CREB signaling pathway and down‐regulate the melanogenesis‐related proteins resulting in the observed anti‐melanogenic effects. Practical applications In China, the flower of Paeonia is often consumed as a dietary supplement and as an additive in skin whitening products. In November 2013, the National Health and Family Planning Commission of the People’s Republic of China has approved the flower of Paeonia ostii as a novel food resource. The current study firstly demonstrated that the effects of EtOAc fractions of the petals of Paeonia decomposita (Pd) and Paeonia ostii (Po) considerably reduced the melanin content in B16 cells, which is due to the modulation of the cAMP‐CREB signaling pathway followed by the down‐regulation of melanogenesis‐related proteins. Pd and Po extracts, as natural tyrosinase inhibitors, may serve as good candidates in food additives, cosmetic materials, or even in treating hyperpigmentation diseases.

In this paper, by utilizing the idea of stabilizer codes, we give some relationships between one local unitary representation of braid group in N-qubit tensor space and the corresponding entanglement properties of the N-qubit pure state |Ψ , where the N-qubit state |Ψ is obtained by applying the braiding operation on the natural basis. Specifically, we show that the separability of |Ψ = B|0 ⊗N is closely related to the diagrammatic version of the braid operator B. This may provide us more insights about the topological entanglement and quantum entanglement.

Starting from the Kauffman-Lomonaco braiding matrix transforming the natural basis to Bell states, the spectral parameter describing the entanglement is introduced through Yang-Baxterization. It gives rise to a new type of solutions for Yang-Baxter equation, called the type-II that differs from the familiar solution called type-I of YBE associated with the usual chain models. The Majorana fermionic version of type-II yields the Kitaev Hamiltonian. The introduced 1 -norm leads to the maximum of the entanglement by taking the extreme value and shows that it is related to the Wigner's D-function. Based on the Yang-Baxter equation the 3-body S-Matrix for type-II is explicitly given. Different from the type-I solution, the type-II solution of YBE should be considered in describing quantum information. The idea is further extended to Z3 parafermion model based on SU (3) principal representation. The type-II is in difference from the familiar type-I in many respects. For example, the quantities corresponding to velocity in the chain models obey the Lorentzian additivity u+v 1+uv rather than Galilean rule (u + v). Most possibly, for the type-II solutions of YBE there may not exist RTT relation. Further more, for Z3 parafermion model we only need the rational Yang-Baxterization, which seems like trigonometric. Similar discussions are also made in terms of generalized Yang-Baxter equation with three spin spaces {1, 1 2 , 1 2 }.which means that the scattering obeys the Galilean additivity for velocities(rapidity) u and v.Originally, for the rational solution of Yang, the simplest solution reads (x = e iu ) R I (u) = I + uP,arXiv:1810.09813v1 [quant-ph]
