Article Synopsis
- The article discusses the combined use of aspirin and edaravone as a treatment for cerebral infarction (CI), highlighting aspirin's established role and edaravone's ability to reduce endothelial damage and neuronal cell death.
- This combination therapy works through different mechanisms to enhance recovery of neurological functions, although concerns such as edaravone's nephrotoxicity and aspirin's risk of gastrointestinal bleeding may limit its use.
- While traditional treatments like thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy show modest results with potential side effects, there's a growing interest in natural medicines, which may offer promising alternatives for protecting against CI.

Article Synopsis
- Benth. (OSB), known for making "Shen tea," has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and liver-protective properties, but its effects on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) hadn't been thoroughly explored.
- The study focused on optimizing the extraction of its key phytochemicals, especially flavonoids and polyphenols, finding flavonoids to be more closely linked to antioxidant activity.
- The flavonoid-rich fraction was shown to improve weight, lipid metabolism, and liver health, acting as a powerful antioxidant that could lead to new applications for OSB in treating liver conditions.
