Several interventional studies have revealed the beneficial impact of curcumin supplementation on blood pressure and endothelial function, but the findings are conflicting. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the effects of curcumin supplementation on blood pressure and endothelial function. A meta-analyses of randomized clinical trials were performed by searching PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched up to March 31, 2024.

Objectives: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is common disease in otorhinolaryngology and will lead to lower airway abnormality. However, the only lung function in CRS patients and associated factors have not been much studied.

Methods: One hundred patients with CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP group), 40 patients with CRS without nasal polyps (CRSsNP group), and 100 patients without CRS were enrolled.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates how a specific recombinant lentiviral vector carrying miR-15a/16-1 affects the growth and death of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-2Z cells, exploring the mechanisms involved in these changes.
  • Researchers organized the experiment into four groups: a control, a transfected group, a radiotherapy group, and a combined transfected-radiotherapy group, using methods like colony formation assays and flow cytometry to analyze cell behavior.
  • Results showed that the transfected-radiotherapy group had the highest cell death rate and altered proliferation rates compared to other groups, along with significant changes in the expression levels of proteins involved in apoptosis, particularly a decrease

The dinuclear title compound, [Cd(2)(C(7)H(5)O(3))(4)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)], is located on a crystallographic rotation twofold axis. The two Cd(II) ions are connected by two tridentate bridging 2-hydroxy-benzoate anions. Each Cd(II) ion is seven-coordinated by five O atoms from three 2-hydroxy-benzoate ligands and two N atoms from 1,10-phenanthroline.
