Abstract The cause of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is unclear. Xiaohuoluo wan (XHLW) a classical Chinese medicine that particularly effective in the treatment RA. Given chemical composition XHLW at overall level has been little studied and molecular mechanism for RA not clear, we searched potential active compounds explored their anti‐inflammatory by flexibly integrating high‐resolution ultra‐performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS)‐based vitro vivo chemomics, network pharmacology, other means. results study identified XHLW, such as alkaloids, nucleosides, fatty acids, may play an role regulating key targets IL‐2, STAT1, JAK3, MAPK8, inducing immune response through IL‐17 signaling pathway, T‐cell receptor, FoxO, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), so forth, inhibiting release inflammatory factors resisting oxidative stress pathways to treat this provide referable data screening exploration mechanisms

A total of 16 novel carboxymethyl chitosan derivatives bearing quinoline groups in four classes were prepared by different synthetic methods. Their chemical structures confirmed Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and elemental analysis. The antioxidant experiment results vitro (including DPPH radical scavenging ability, superoxide anion hydroxyl ferric reducing power) demonstrated that adding to (CS) (CMCS) enhanced the ability CS CMCS. Among them, both N, O-CMCS N-TM-O-CMCS showed over 70%. In addition, their radicals reached more than 90% at maximum tested concentration 1.6 mg/mL. Moreover, cytotoxicity assay was carried out on L929 cells MTT method, indicated all no (cell viability > 75%) except derivative 1a, which low 1000 μg/mL 50.77 ± 4.67%). conclusion, remarkable weak cytotoxicity, highlighting potential use food medical applications.

Background Peak width of skeletonized mean diffusivity (PSMD) is a novel marker small vessel disease. This study aimed to investigate the presence disease in patients with occipital lobe epilepsy (OLE) using PSMD. Methods We enrolled 27 newly diagnosed OLE and included 29 healthy controls. The age sex controls were comparable. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was performed 3 T MRI scanner. measured PSMD based on DTI several steps, including preprocessing, skeletonization, application custom mask, histogram analysis, FSL program. compared between Additionally, we correlation analysis clinical factors OLE. Results Our findings revealed that exhibited higher (2.459 vs. 2.079 × 10 −4 mm 2 /s, p < 0.001). In addition, positively correlated ( r = 0.412, 0.032). However, not associated other such as at seizure onset duration epilepsy. Conclusion demonstrated had than controls, indicating evidence finding also highlights potential for detecting diseases epileptic disorders.

Aging and age-related neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by the dysfunction or loss of brain nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), these changes may be related to other senescence markers, such as oxidative stress DNA repair dysfunction. However, mechanism nAChR in aging modification this process drugs (e.g., memantine, Mem) not yet fully understood. To study whether differences expression rat occur due modulated Mem, we analyzed subunits (at RNA protein levels) biomarkers real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RQ-PCR) Western blot validation. Twenty-one female Wistar rats were divided into four groups, depending on age, oldest group received injections Mem water with use intragastric catheters.

The over-stimulation of N-methyl-d-aspartate glutamate receptors causes an excitotoxic neuronal death which plays important role in many neurodegenerative diseases. Carissa edulis, a medicinal plant used African pharmacopeia has been shown to have therapeutic effects. In this study, the effects edulis aqueous extract on L-glutamic acid-induced neurotoxicity mice were investigated. Two-month-old received intraperitoneal injection acid (2 g/kg) for seven consecutive days and treated with edulis. Mice monitored behavioural studies including locomotion, muscle strength, memory. Oxidative stress was determined by measuring lipid peroxidation level antioxidant enzymes. Elisa kits evaluate levels proinflammatory cytokines. Hippocampal histopathology examined using cresyl violet staining. administration exhibited protective effect abnormal locomotor activity increased mice's strength. Also, it memory mice. decreased malondialdehyde catalase glutathione level. Furthermore, significantly IL-1β TNF-α compared group. There no significant pathological changes hippocampus edulis-treated group Our results indicated that showed alleviating impairment, decreasing oxidative stress, cytokines brains acid.

Delirium is a frequent complication in critically ill patients, often leading to worse clinical outcomes, prolonged ICU stays, and an increased healthcare burden. Its identification has become more consistent with the adoption of validated diagnostic tools, allowing clinicians recognize address this condition effectively. Although delirium can arise from direct neurological dysfunction, it frequently consequence systemic conditions such as sepsis or organ failure. Therefore, comprehensive evaluation underlying causes essential before initiating pharmacological treatment. Among options, quetiapine gained attention for its use patients delirium. Compared first-generation antipsychotics, preferred due sedative effects favorable safety. However, current guidelines remain inconclusive regarding routine use, evidence supporting efficacy limited. One main challenges heterogeneity patient populations included randomized trials, making difficult determine whether specific subgroups may benefit This narrative review explores properties quetiapine, potential role managing delirium, state safety effectiveness.
