This is of great importance for the quantitative chemical analysis of more complex solid materials, e.g., geological samples or metal alloys, especially when aiming for standard-free quantification procedures for the determination of the chemical composition.Eight natural biphenyl-type phytoalexins exhibiting antifungal effect were isolated from the leaves of Sorbus pohuashanensis, which invaded by Alternaria tenuissi, and their growth inhibition rate towards A. tenuissi were 50.3 %, 54.0 %, 66.4 %, 58.8 %, 48.5 %, 51.0 %, 33.3 %, and 37.0 %, respectively. In vivo activity assay verified the protective effect of these natural biphenyls on tobacco leaves. The observation of mycelial morphology revealed that these compounds possessed adverse effects on mycelial growth of A. tenuissi. Subsequently, the most potent active compounds, 3',4',5'-trimethoxy[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-ol (3) and 3,4,4',5-tetramethoxy-1,1'-biphenyl (4), were conducted to the further antifungal evaluation and showed significant activity against the other four crop pathogens, Fusarium graminearum, Helminthosporium maydis, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, and Exserohilum turcicum. Further, the structure-activity relationships and biosynthesis of these compounds were speculated in this work. Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is widely used as a dietary supplement and antiageing agent. Insulin autoimmune syndrome (IAS) is the most serious adverse reaction reported with the use of ALA. The purpose of this study was to explore the clinical characteristics of ALA-induced IAS and provide a scientific reference for clinical diagnosis, treatment and prevention. We collected literature on IAS cases induced by ALA for retrospective analysis in Chinese and English. The median age of 37 patients (28 females and 9 males) was 61years (range 32-82). The symptoms occurred at night and in the early morning (60.7%), in the late postprandial period (50.0%) or a
