Determination and Pharmacokinetics of Acetylcorynoline in Mouse Plasma by UPLC-MS/MS.

Acetylcorynoline is an alkaloid isolated from the tubers of Cham. et Schltdl. It has anti-inflammatory properties with the potential to treat Parkinson's disease.

Enterolactone combined with m6A Reader IGF2BP3 inhibits malignant angiogenesis and disease progression in ovarian cancer.

Background: Among all gynecological cancers, ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death. Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) accounts for over 85 % of ovarian cancer cases and is characterized by insidious onset, early metastasis, and a high recurrence rate. Alterations in gut microbiota, often as a consequence of chemotherapy, can promote cancer development and exacerbate the disease.

Cannabidiol Inhibits Epithelial Ovarian Cancer: Role of Gut Microbiome.

Epithelial ovarian cancer is among the deadliest gynecological tumors worldwide. Clinical treatment usually consists of surgery and adjuvant chemo- and radiotherapies. Due to the high rate of recurrence and rapid development of drug resistance, the current focus of research is on finding effective natural products with minimal toxic side effects for treating epithelial ovarian tumors.

Combined Use of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors and Phytochemicals as a Novel Therapeutic Strategy against Cancer.

Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy has dramatically changed cancer treatment, opening novel opportunities to cure malignant diseases. To date, most prevalently targeted immune checkpoints are programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4), with many others being under extensive investigations. However, according to available data, only a fraction of patients may respond to ICI therapy.

Enterolactone and trabectedin suppress epithelial ovarian cancer synergistically via upregulating THBS1.

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most common and fatal subtype of ovarian malignancies, with no effective therapeutics available. Our previous studies have demonstrated extraordinary suppressive efficacy of enterolactone (ENL) on EOC. A chemotherapeutic agent, trabectedin (Trabe), is shown to be effective on ovarian cancer, especially when combined with other therapeutics, such as pegylated liposomal doxorubicin or oxaliplatin.

Regional Differences, Dynamic Evolution and Convergence of Public Health Level in China.

People's health is a necessary condition for the country's prosperity. Under the background of the COVID-19 pandemic and frequent natural disasters, exploring the spatial and temporal distribution, regional differences and convergence of China's provincial public health level is of great significance to promoting the coordinated development of China's regional public health and achieving the strategic goal of a "healthy China". Based on China's provincial panel data from 2009 to 2020, this paper constructs an evaluation index system for China's public health level from five dimensions: the popularization of a healthy life, optimization of health services, improvement of health insurance, construction of a healthy environment, and development of a health industry.

The Spatiotemporal Evolution and Influencing Factors of the Chinese Cities' Ecological Welfare Performance.

In the "full world" where natural capital is scarce, within the limits of the ecological environment, the improvement of welfare is a fundamental requirement for sustainable development. The ecological wellbeing performance (EWP) of 284 cities in China from 2007 to 2020 was measured by the superefficient SBM-DEA model, considering undesirable output, and analyzing the evolutionary trends of overall comprehensive technical efficiency, pure technical efficiency, and scale efficiency. The Theil index was used to explore the source and distribution of the Chinese cities' EWP differences.

Metabolomics analysis in rats after administration of Datura stramonium.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Datura stramonium on rats by examining the differences in urine and serum metabolites between Datura stramonium groups and control group. SIMCA-P+12.0.

Seasonal skin darkening in Chinese women: the Shanghaiese experience of daily sun protection.

The facial skin tone of two groups of Chinese women from Shanghai was compared using standard colorimetric space techniques during a 6-month interval between January and July 2011. During the study period, one group of women (n = 40) applied a potent sun-protective cosmetic product daily, while the other group (n = 40) did not use any sun protection. The results, based on images taken using a standardized digital camera coupled to a spectroradiometer, showed that sun protection largely mitigated changes in the components of skin tone, ie, lightness, melanization, and individual typology angle parameters.
