, the most widely cultivated species of persimmon, has been long used in traditional medicine since its leaves' extracts contain high amounts of flavonoids and terpenoids, endowed with several beneficial effects. However, its anticancer activity towards colorectal cancer (CRC) has not been investigated in depth. The effect of a methanolic extract of leaves, rich in kaempferol and quercetin derivatives, have been evaluated on an E705 CRC cell line, representative of most CRC patients, and on SW480 cells, carrying a KRAS-activating mutation.

- The study investigates how nonspecific factors like treatment credibility and expectancy influence the results of nonoperative treatments for degenerative meniscal tears (DMTs).
- It hypothesizes that treatment credibility will be consistent across various patient demographics while older patients and those with longer or more intense pain will have lower treatment expectancy and symptom expectancy scores.
- In a cohort of 126 participants, results showed that those with a higher body mass index and longer pain duration had significantly lower treatment credibility and expectancy ratings compared to those with a lower BMI and shorter pain duration.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how often MRI scans reveal unexpected but clinically significant findings in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) suspected of having meniscal tears.
- Out of 760 subjects who underwent MRIs, 61 (8.03%) were found to have notable findings such as subchondral insufficiency fractures, avascular necrosis, and tumors.
- The results suggest that clinicians should consider a broader range of potential conditions underlying knee symptoms, as these incidental findings may require different management approaches and further imaging.
Article Synopsis
- Yeast assimilable nitrogen (YAN) is super important for how yeast grows and works, especially for a specific yeast called NX11424.
- In this study, scientists looked at how NX11424 behaves with different amounts of YAN, finding that more YAN helps the yeast grow better.
- They discovered that NX11424 can still make important stuff, like proteins, even when YAN levels are low, which can help make better wine.
The spatio-temporal development of a meandering river is controlled by its channel morphodynamics. In regions of rapid channel evolution, understanding the driving factors of meander migration is crucial in forecasting the rate and extent of morphological change. Sediment supply and fluvial discharge are the primary influences on migration rate, however climate oscillations are also integral in indirectly regulating migration rate through their control of regional precipitation, as well as the monsoon season of sub-tropical Asia.
