Safflower yellow alleviates cognitive impairment in mice by modulating cholinergic system function, oxidative stress, and CREB/BDNF/TrkB signaling pathway.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Carthamus tinctorius L. (Safflower) was believed to have multiple benefits, including antioxidant effects, enhanced learning and memory, and improving neuronal injury. Safflower Yellow(SY) are the main active ingredients of Safflower, displays strong pharmacological potential treatment of Alzheimer's disease(AD).

Construction of an early differentiation diagnosis model for patients with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome.

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging infectious disease with a high mortality rate. Differentiating between SFTS and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is difficult and inefficient. Retrospective analysis of the medical records of individuals with SFTS and HFRS was performed.

Pancreatic Injury Is Associated with Poor Prognosis in Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome.

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging infectious disease. Previous studies have primarily focused on the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with SFTS, whereas pancreatic injury has received little attention. This study investigated the effects of pancreatic injury on the prognosis of patients with SFTS.

A novel four-gene signature predicts immunotherapy response of patients with different cancers.

Background: Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy has demonstrated favorable clinical efficacy, particularly for advanced or difficult-to-treat cancer types. However, this therapy is ineffective for many patients displaying lack of immune response or resistance to ICB. This study aimed to establish a novel four-gene signature (CD8A, CD8B, TCF7, and LEF1) to provide a prognostic immunotherapy biomarker for different cancers.

Both high glucose and phosphate overload promote senescence-associated calcification of vascular muscle cells.

Purpose: The NAD-dependent deacetylase, sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), plays an important role in vascular calcification induced by high glucose and/or high phosphate levels. However, the mechanism by which SIRT1 regulates this process is still not fully understood. Thus, this study aimed to determine the role of high glucose and phosphate in vascular calcification and the molecular mechanisms underlying SIRT1 regulation.

Aspirin enhances the clinical efficacy of anti-tuberculosis therapy in pulmonary tuberculosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Tuberculosis in patients with diabetes mellitus is characterised by rapid disease progression, poor treatment efficacy, poor prognosis and poses a new challenge in tuberculosis treatment and control. Patients with pulmonary TB and type 2 DM were recruited at Yijishan Hospital of Wannan Medical College. A total of 348 patients were randomly assigned to two groups.

Clinical analysis of patients with acute pancreatitis complicated with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome and acute biliary pancreatitis.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a rare complication of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), and is difficult to diagnose. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics of 7 cases of HFRS complicated with AP and 105 cases of acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP).Medical records of 83 hospitalized patients with HFRS and 105 hospitalized patients with ABP in the affiliated Yijishan Hospital of Wannan Medical College were reviewed.
