“…Chinese Yam can tonify the spleen and stomach and nourish kidney and lung function. Modern pharmacological studies have found that it can have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antitumor, and immune regulation effects and promote kidney regeneration and repair [25]. Poria cocos has the effect of inducing diuresis and seepage of dampness, strengthening the spleen, and tranquilizing the heart.…”

We aimed to examine the association of traditional Chinese herbal dietary formulas with ability of daily life and physical function in elderly patients with mild cognitive impairment. The current study included 60 cases of elderly patients with mild cognitive impairment from Yueyang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Hongkou District, Shanghai. The participants were randomly divided into two groups: group A (herbal dietary formula group, consisting of Alpiniae Oxyphyllae Fructus, Nelumbinis plumula, Chinese Yam, Poria cocos, and Jineijin), 30 cases, and group B (vitamin E), 30 cases, treatment for 3 months. Cognitive function was measured using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE); body function was measured using the Chinese Simplified Physical Performance Test (CMPPT), including stand static balance, sitting-up timing, squat timing, and six-meter walk timing. Daily life based on ability was measured by grip strength and the Activity of Daily Living Scale (ADL). The lower the scores of the above items, the poorer the disease degree, except for ADL: the lower the score, the higher the self-care ability. After 3 months of treatment, the two-handed grip strength of both the herbal dietary formula group and vitamin E group increased; the ADL, sitting-up timing, squatting timing, and six-meter walking timing decreased after medication, being statistically significantly different (p < 0.05). The two-handed grip strength of group A increased significantly, and the ADL, sitting-up timing, squatting timing, and six-meter walking timing decreased distinctly compared with the vitamin E group. There was a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). The scores of MMSE, MOCA, total CMPPT, and standing static balance of the herbal dietary formula group increased after medication. The difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). The vitamin E group’s MMSE and MOCA scores, CMPPT total scores, and standing resting balance scores did not change significantly after medication (p > 0.05). In summary, a traditional Chinese herbal dietary formula can improve body and cognitive function in patients with MCI, and the curative effect is better than that of vitamin E. Traditional Chinese herbal dietary formulas can improve the daily life quality of MCI patients, which has clinical application value.

“…From the end of the 1990s to the beginning of the 2000s, the desertification area increased by 432 km 2 and accounted for 16.82% of the total land area in Tibet 5,6 . Zones of aggravated desertification in Tibet were mainly located in the Ngari area, Yarlung Zangbo River Basin and regions of the Pengqu River 7,8 . However, the desertification caused by wind erosion was mainly attributed to the large coverage area 9,10 .…”

A novel sand-fixing curing agent was developed and applied as a sustainable sand-fixing material. This research prepared a self-degradable, eco-friendly sand-fixing curing agent by using nanosilica and a polymer as the main raw materials (nanosilicon/polymer composite, NSPC), its mechanical properties and hydration mechanism were investigated. The results showed that adsorption of the NSPC on sand particles followed pseudo second-order kinetics, and the optimum mixing time of the NSPC and sand was 3 h. The compressive strength of the sample reached 6.07 MPa after 28 days with the optimal mass ratio of NSPC and sand. After 20 freezing-thawing cycles, the compressive strength was 3.25 MPa. The results indicated that the NSPC improved the sand's capacity for water retention. The chemical reaction between the NSPC and sand particles occurred at the microlevel and improved the sand strength by bonding the particles together. The NSPC curing agent satisfied the requirements of sand-fixing technology during 5 months of field tests. A mixture of the NSPC and sandy soil with a mass ratio of 1:3 is recommended for wind erosion control in the field. A field engineer in these situations may take advantage of the mixture to sprayed it onto the sandy surface.
