Objective: To investigate the protective effects of three Polyphenolic compounds on intestinal microbial communities in mice exposed intermittent plateau hypoxia.

Methods: In this study, 60 healthy male Balb/c mice were randomly divided into plain control group, plateau control group, primary anthocyanin intervention group, quercetin intervention group and resveratrol intervention group, 12 mice in each group. Primary anthocyanin, quercetin and resveratrol were administrated by gavage at the doses of 50, 100 and 20 mg/kg in pharmacological intervention group, respectively.

The development of novel antitumor drugs for the treatment of non-small cell lung carcinoma NSCLC is imperative in order to improve the efficacy of lung cancer therapy and prognosis. In the current study, we demonstrated the antitumor activity of isorhamnetin and its combinations with cisplatin and carboplatin against A-549 lung cancer cells. In order to assess the anticancer enhancing effect of isorhamnetin on cisplatin and carboplatin, A-549 cells were treated with isorhamnetin, cisplatin, carboplatin and their combinations and cell viability, cell apoptosis, cell cycle arrest as well as loss of mitochondrial membrane potential were evaluated by MTT assay, flow cytometry, confocal microscopy and fluorescence microscopy.
