Abstract: The Toona sinensis extract of the present invention is prepared using supercritical fluid technique, wherein the method includes steps of: (a) drying the leaves of T. sinensis; (b) pulverizing the leaves as particles; and (c) extracting the particles with supercritical carbon dioxide to obtain the T. sinensis extract. This supercritical T. sinensis extract not only can decrease blood sugar level, but also promotes lipid degradation, inhibits the formation of huge lipid droplet and improves the metabolic symptoms. Accordingly, the T. sinensis extract further is able to be prepared as food supplement and pharmaceuticals.

Abstract: Disclosed are a composition for preventing and treating atherosclerosis which includes chalcone compound. In particular, the chalcone compound bound with 2-hydroxyl in ring A and 4?-methyoxy in ring B has versatile therapeutic potentials on anti-atherosclerosis by acting as PPAR? inducer, p44/42 MAPK inhibitor and cell cycle blocker and does not show toxicity to human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMCs). In addition, the chalcone compound exhibits synergistic effect with the PPAR? ligand (rosiglitazone) to inhibit cell proliferation and the upregulation of cyclin D1, cyclin D3, interleukin-1? (IL-1?) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) induced by oxidized low density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL).

Abstract: Sink stations for galleys of aircraft and other vehicles, methods of operating such sink stations, and aircraft equipped with galleys having such sink stations. A sink station includes a sink cover, which may fully or partially cover a sink and extend the countertop space over the sink cavity. When covering the sink, the sink cover may support a set weight corresponding to objects typically used in galleys, such as pots, cups, and the like. The sink cover allows for liquid to pass into the sink cavity even when the sink cover is used to cover the sink thereby reduce spill clean-ups. The sink cover is movable and may partially or completely expose the sink cavity or keep it completely covered. For example, the sink cover may be folded and/or rolled away and stored at the sink station for periodic use.
