The present study aimed to explore the underlying mechanism of Wuling Capsules in the treatment of hepatic fibrosis(HF) through network pharmacology, molecular docking, and animal experiments. Firstly, the chemical components and targets of Wuling Capsules against HF were searched from Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform(TCMSP), Traditional Chinese Medicines Integrated Database(TCMID), GeneCards, and literature retrieval. The protein-protein interaction(PPI) network analysis was carried out on the common targets by STRING database and Cytoscape 3.

This review aims to provide a summary of the clinical characteristics and outcomes of lung cancer during pregnancy. A comprehensive literature search yielded 93 cases of lung cancer during pregnancy from 1953 to 2022, with an average maternal age of ∼34 years old. The initial symptoms reported were often nonspecific, such as cough, dyspnea, and chest pain.

Airway remodelling, which could be modulated by autophagy, plays a key role in severe asthma. However, the extent of autophagy's involvement in CIH-potentiated airway remodelling remains largely unexplored.

Therefore, a new MXene structure is reported in this paper, and the improved structure is rationally designed by computational modeling, which greatly prevents the buildup of MXene nanosheets, improves the stability of the structure, and creates a wide electron transfer channel, and the capacitance contribution of this structure is up to 86.3%.

Although arthroscopic surgery is the gold standard for the treatment of SLAP injury, there are still disputes about the adaptation of different surgical techniques, the choice of anchors during operation, knotted or knotless anchors, and fixation methods. The authors believe that arthroscopic repair of SLAP lesions is effective for young patients with intact glenoid labrum(<35 years old) or with extensive activity, where single and knotless anchor is preferred.

However, the present preparation method of Wuling Capsules ignores some macromolecules like polysaccharides. In this study, the influences of different ethanol concentrations in the preparation process on the extraction rates of macro-and micro-molecules were investigated.

In response to this problem, research in recent years has focused on the application of grafts, including cell transplantation, periosteum transplantation, cartilage transplantation, and biosynthetic transplantation.

In this research, metal oxides CuO, NiO and CoO-based heterojunctions with NaMgTiO(NMTO) were synthesized via a simple hydrothermal method. The CuO/NMTO heterojunction was demonstrated as a direct Z-scheme heterojunction, whereas the NiO/NMTO and CoO/NMTO heterojunctions showed type II p-n band alignment, distinguished by the direct observation of carrier migration under light illumination, and confirmed by the x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Mott-Schottky measurements, ultraviolet photoelectron spectra and capture experiments.

Background: Freshwater fungi, growing on submerged wood, can promote the degradation of organisms and the reuse of rotten wood energy and play key roles in freshwater ecosystems. Here, a new hyphomycetous fungus, , was isolated and identified from submerged wood samples collected in a small stream in Jiangxi Province, south-eastern China.
New Information: The new taxon was studied, based on morphological characters and phylogenetic analyses combined with LSU, ITS, and sequences data.
