Results: The main constituents in TF are AM and robustaflavone. The acute gout mouse model was induced by MSU injection into footpads, and then the paw edema, inflammatory mediators, and histological examination (HE) were analyzed. The inflammatory cytokines and NLRP3 inflammasome activation were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), immunofluorescence staining, and western blotting. The cell membrane integrality and morphological characteristics were determined by using Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay kits, propidium iodide (PI) stain, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The cellular inflammation model was established by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or monosodium urate (MSU) stimulation. Methods: LC-MS method was employed to investigate the chemical profile of TF. Purpose: We aimed to investigate the flavonoid extract (TF) and AM's effects on NLRP3 inflammasome in vitro and their preventive effects on gout in vivo. Flavonoids, such as amentoflavone (AM), are the main active components of this medicine. Selaginella moellendorffii has been confirmed effective for the treatment of gout in hospital preparations.

Plus another file containing all ROIs for later reference with "datetime-ROI.zip" suffix. It will save the results to a file with the same filename as your image with a CSV extension (+ datetime)
Right click on "WB Gel Bands Selection Tool" (the first one on additional palette) and setup WB parameters.Click the icon most to the right in the toolbar ">" and select "WBGelDensitometryTool".for permanent use: copy script file "WBGelDensitometryTool.ijm" into %imagej_root%/macros/toolsets/.for single session use: menu Plugins > Macro > Install.We overwrite files "-ROI.zip" and ".csv".We utilize ImageJ "Overlays" so it will delete all your overlays!.It will not work properly with uneven, warped films / images or images with too small margins.
This tool is not much suitable for other situations.
We expect that blot bands are aligned almost horizontally with almost equal distance between them.Density of image background is measured the same way as bands, on the side of the film, so no rolling-ball, convolution, averages or other techniques are used. It utilizes densitometry measurement of ImageJ and subtracts density of image background. This tool provides a quick and dirty way to measure images of not necessarily straight lines of Western Blot films, dot blots and other silimar bio-scientific images. Western Blot densitometry analysis - macro tool for ImageJ 1.x What is it good for?
