The inorganic elements have unique properties in biochemical processes in humans. An increasing number of pathologies have been associated with essential element ions, such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. Hair has become an attractive clinical specimen for studying the longitudinal exposure to elements from the external environment.

- The study compares the pharmacokinetics of different curcumin formulations in SD rats, focusing on the hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin phospholipid complex.
- Blood samples were taken after oral administration to measure drug concentration using HPLC, at a dosage of 50 mg/kg.
- Results showed that the hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin phospholipid complex demonstrated significantly greater absorption and bioavailability compared to the other formulations.
O-GlcNAcylation is a dynamic and reversible posttranslational modification of nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins. In recent years, the roles of O-GlcNAcylation in several human malignant tumors have been investigated, and O-GlcNAcylation was found to be linked to cellular features relevant to metastasis. In this study, we modeled four diverse ovarian cancer cells and investigated the effects of O-GlcNAcylation on ovarian cancer cell migration.

Article Synopsis
- The study utilized FTIR to analyze the vibrational spectra of Amanitaceae mushrooms from Yunnan province, revealing significant differences between the spectra of the fruiting body and spores.
- Key findings include strong absorption bands related to proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids, suggesting that these mushrooms primarily consist of these chemical components.
- The research indicates that FTIR is effective for quickly and non-destructively identifying different species and parts of Amanita mushrooms based on their unique spectral patterns.

Truffles, which belong to ascomycetes, are rare wild growing edible mushrooms; their fruit body contains high nutritive value composition, and their polysaccharide constituents have potential medical applications. In the present paper, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used for obtaining vibrational spectra of mushrooms of truffles growing in mountains of Yunnan province, southwest China. The results show that the mushrooms exhibit characteristic spectra.
