Improving stabilization of α-tocopherol and α-tocopheryl acetate against oxidation, light and UV radiation by complexation with β-cyclodextrin and starch.

Unlabelled: Despite the remarkably high antioxidant activity of tocopherols, their applications in the food industry are limited because of their instability under various conditions. Complexes of α-tocopherol (α-TQ) or α-tocopheryl acetate (α-TQA) with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) or starch were prepared and characterized by UV-vis, IR and thermal analysis. Oxidative stability of α-TQ and α-TQA against HO was 74.

Prevalence and Clinical Assessment of Skin Lesions in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

This retrospective study analyzes the histopathological patterns of skin lesions in 430 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), meeting the American College of Rheumatology criteria from 2018-2023. Patient demographics reveal a mean age of 43.56 years, with a near-equal gender distribution (50.

Effects of Electronic Cigarettes on Periodontal Health: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objectives: The use of electronic cigarettes "e-cigarettes," or vaping is growing in popularity, especially among adolescents and young adults. While the effects of cigarette smoking on oral health are well-established, the exact impact that e-cigarettes may have on dental tissues is still uncertain. The aim of the current review was to summarize evidence related to the effect of vaping on the periodontal health status of e-cigarette users.

Pharmacological, computational, and mechanistic insights into triptolide's role in targeting drug-resistant cancers.

As a promising candidate for tackling drug-resistant cancers, triptolide, a diterpenoid derived from the Chinese medicinal plant Tripterygium wilfordii, has been developed. This review summarizes potential antitumor activities, including the suppression of RNA polymerase II, the suppression of heat shock proteins (HSP70 and HSP90), and the blockade of NF-kB signalling. Triptolide is the first known compound to target cancer cells specifically but spare normal cells, and it has success in treating cancers that are difficult to treat, including pancreatic, breast, and lung cancers.
