Phytochemical interventions for post-traumatic stress disorder: A cluster co-occurrence network analysis using CiteSpace.

Objective: This study investigated trends in the study of phytochemical treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Methods: The Web of Science database (2007-2022) was searched using the search terms "phytochemicals" and "PTSD," and relevant literature was compiled. Network clustering co-occurrence analysis and qualitative narrative review were conducted.

Niruri L. Exerts Protective Effects Against the Calcium Oxalate-Induced Renal Injury Ellgic Acid.

Urolithiasis or kidney stones is a common and frequently occurring renal disease; calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystals are responsible for 80% of urolithiasis cases. niruri L. (PN) has been used to treat urolithiasis.

Influence of atherosclerosis on the molecular expression of the TRPC1/BK signal complex in the aortic smooth muscles of mice.

Atherosclerosis (AS) is one a disease that seriously endangers human health. Previous studies have demonstrated that transient receptor potential channel-1 (TRPC1)/large conductance Ca activated K channel (BK) signal complex is widely distributed in arteries. Therefore, it was hypothesized that TRPC1-BK signal complex may be a new target for the treatment of AS-related diseases.

Fu-Fang-Jin-Qian-Cao herbal granules protect against the calcium oxalate-induced renal EMT by inhibiting the TGF-β/smad pathway.

Context: Nephrolithiasis is a major public health problem worldwide and Fu-Fang-Jin-Qian-Cao granules (FFJQC) is a traditional Chinese herbal formula that is used to treat nephrolithiasis. The main component of nephrolithiasis is calcium oxalate (CaOx) and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) shown to play a crucial role in CaOx-induced kidney injury. However, the mechanism underlying the therapeutic effect of FFJQC on the CaOx-induced renal EMT is unknown.

Lung macrophages are involved in lung injury secondary to repetitive diving.

This study aimed to establish an animal model of decompression-induced lung injury (DILI) secondary to repetitive diving in mice and explore the role of macrophages in DILI and the protective effects of high-concentration hydrogen (HCH) on DILI. Mice were divided into three groups: control group, DILI group, and HCH group. Mice were exposed to hyperbaric air at 600 kPa for 60 min once daily for consecutive 3 d and then experienced decompression.

Clinical Evaluation of Coronary In-Stent Restenosis Using Dual-Source Computed Tomography.

Objective: To explore the feasibility of dual-source computed tomography (DSCT) in the evaluation of coronary in-stent restenosis (ISR) by comparing the results of DSCT and selective coronary angiography (CAG).

Methods: In-stent restenosis examination results from DSCT were compared with those obtained using CAG.

Results: Among 173 stents studied, 156 yielded good quality images when evaluated with DSCT.

Expression of tissue levels of matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases in renal cell carcinoma.

Background: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are one of the major classes of proteolytic enzymes involved in tumor invasion and metastasis and are inhibited by naturally occurring tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). {AU Query: Please verify that corrections made to previous sentence did not alter intended meaning}. In this study, we examined the expression of MMP-2, MMP-9, membrane-type 1 (MT1)-MMP, TIMP-1, and TIMP-2 in renal tissue samples of renal cell cancer and examined the correlation between their expression and clinicopathological parameters.

[Polymorphism of TPH gene T3792A locus in Han ethnic group of north China].

Objective: To investigate the polymorphism of the TPH gene T3792A locus in Han ethnic group of north China and its application value in forensic science.

Methods: The polymorphism of T3792A locus of the TPH gene was analyzed by the ASPCR of blood samples from 173 unrelated individuals of north Chinese Han population.

Results: The distribution of the T3792A locus polymorphism of the TPH gene in Han ethnic group of north China followed the Hardy-Weinberg law, with the allele A and T gene frequency of 0.

Highly efficient formal synthesis of cephalotaxine, using the Stevens rearrangement--acid lactonization sequence as a key transformation.

Cephalotaxine (1), the major alkaloid isolated from Cephalotaxus species, has attracted considerable attention due to the promising antitumor activity of several of its derivatives and its unique structural features. Herein we describe a highly efficient formal synthesis of 1 employing the [2,3]-Stevens rearrangement-acid lactonization sequence as a key transformation from readily available (3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)acetic acid, methyl prolinate, and allyl bromide.

[Distribution of tryptophan hydroxylase gene-T457C locus polymorphism in Han ethnic group in northern China].

Objective: To study the distribution of the tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) gene-T457C locus polymorphism in Han ethnic group in northern China and to find its applicable value in forensic science.

Methods: Genomic DNA samples, extracted from 180 unrelated individuals in northern Chinese Han population, were analyzed by PCR-RFLP.

Results: The discrimination power (DP) value and the power of exclusion (PE) value of the TPH gene-T457C locus were 0.

Tab2, a novel recombinant polypeptide tag offering sensitive and specific protein detection and reliable affinity purification.

The detection and purification of proteins are often time-consuming and frequently involve complicated protocols. The addition of a peptide tag to recombinant proteins can make this process more efficient. Many of the commonly used tags, such as Flagtrade mark, Myc, HA and V5 are recognized by specific monoclonal antibodies and therefore, allow immunoaffinity-based purification.

Differential inhibition of inducible T cell cytokine secretion by potent iron chelators.

Effector functions and proliferation of T helper (Th) cells are influenced by cytokines in the environment. Th1 cells respond to a synergistic effect of interleukin-12 (IL-12) and interleukin-18 (IL-18) to secrete interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma). In contrast, Th2 cells respond to interleukin-4 (IL-4) to secrete IL-4, interleukin-13 (IL-13), interleukin-5 (IL-5), and interleukin-10 (IL-10).

The biology and physiology of somatostatin receptors.

The biology and therapeutic application of somatostatin and its receptors are reviewed. The focus is on recent literature and patents, especially with regard to the specific function of each somatostatin receptor subtype. Detailed mechanisms mediating the effects of somatostatin and its analogues remain to be elucidated.
