Rapid discovery of natural antioxidants in Hypericum japonicum: Dual roles of the liquid phase mobile phase as extraction and separation solvent.

Hypericum japonicum is a traditional folk medicine with various bioactivities such as hepatoprotective, antioxidant, and anti-tumorous. The antioxidant effect of H. japonicum is one of the most prominent effects due to its responsibility for many of its activities.

Measuring the Complexity of Self-Regulated Learning and Academic Challenges for Adolescents in Canada.

Research that uses self-report measures to examine the complexity of self-regulated learning (SRL) and academic challenges for adolescents is limited. This study examined the psychometric property of the Self-Regulated Learning Profile and Self-Diagnostic (SRL-PSD) instrument and addressed the multi-components of SRL and academic challenges for adolescents. Participants were 358 adolescents from a Canadian middle school.

Single-incision plus one-port laparoscopy surgery versus conventional multi-port laparoscopy surgery for colorectal cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: The efficacy of single-incision plus one-port laparoscopic surgery (SILS + 1) versus conventional laparoscopic surgery (CLS) for colorectal cancer treatment remains unclear. This study compares the short-term and long-term outcomes of SILS + 1 and CLS using a high-quality systematic review and meta-analysis.

Method: Literature search followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, drawing from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library until December 10, 2023.

[Rapid determination of aesculin and aesculetin in Fraxini Cortex by high performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet at equal absorption wavelength].

Fraxini Cortex is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine that has been used for thousands of years to treat dampness-heat diarrhea, dysentery, red or white vaginal discharge, painful swelling or redness of the eyes, and nebula. It contains various chemical components, including coumarins, iridoids, phenolic acids, and flavonoids. Coumarins are important active ingredients in Fraxini Cortex and have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antitumor, and antiviral activities.

[Mechanism of Sijunzi Decoction in treatment of Alzheimer's disease based on UPLC-Q-TOF-MS, network pharmacology, and experimental verification].

The study identified the blood-entering components of Sijunzi Decoction after gavage administration in rats by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS, and investigated the mechanism of Sijunzi Decoction in treating Alzheimer's disease by virtue of network pharmacology, molecular docking, and experimental verification. The blood-entering components of Sijunzi Decoction were identified based on the mass spectra and data from literature and databases. The potential targets of the above-mentioned blood-entering components in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease were searched against PharmMapper, OMIM, DisGeNET, GeneCards, and TTD.

Online Microextraction Coupled with HPLC-ABTS for Rapid Analysis of Antioxidants from the Root of .

The root of (PB) is a traditional Chinese medicinal plant material widely used in China. It has been commonly used for the treatment of hemostasis, detumescence, diarrhea, snake bite, and acute gastroenteritis. However, the research on the antioxidant properties and bioactive compounds from PB is inadequate.

[Prediction of Q-markers of Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium volatile oil and GC-MS based quantitative analysis].

This study was designed to predict the Q-markers of Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium volatile oil and conduct quantitative analysis by GC-MS. The common components of Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium volatile oil were detected by GC-MS. The network pharmacology approaches were utilized for constructing the component-target network and protein-protein interaction(PPI) network, followed by the GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis to clarify the pharmacological effects of common components.

High-mobility group box1 as an amplifier of immune response and target for treatment in keratitis.

Aim: To determine the roles of high-mobility group box1 (HMGB1) in pro-inflammation, host immune response and its potential target for treatment in () keratitis.

Methods: Expression of HMGB1 was tested in C57BL/6 normal and infected corneas. Dual immunostaining tested co-expression of HMGB1 with TLR4 or LOX-1.

The anti-inflammatory regulation of calcitonin gene-related peptide in mouse keratitis.

Aim: To analyze the impact of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in mouse keratitis after () infection.

Methods: C57BL/6 mice were treated subconjunctivally with different concentrations of exogenous CGRP, and BALB/c mice were treated with CGRP8-37 (a CGRP antagonist) before corneas were infected with . The cornea was assessed under the slit-lamp and the clinical score was recorded.

Rapid screening and characterization of natural antioxidants in Polygonum viviparum by an on-line system integrating the pressurised liquid micro-extraction, HPLC-DAD-QTOF-MS/MS analysis and antioxidant assay.

Rapid discovery of active ingredients from complex matrices is one of great challenges for modern drug development. Traditional methods often require many sample treatment steps, including an extraction step with exclusively dedicated solvents followed by repeated separation and activities assessment. This present work described an integrated analytical setup for natural antioxidants discovery in which the online extraction (OLE) of a solid sample is directly coupled to its analysis by high performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector-quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry and 2,2'-Azinobis-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonate) (ABTS) antioxidant assay (OLE-HPLC-DAD-QTOF-MS/MS-ABTS).
