Combined Metabolite Analysis and Network Pharmacology to Elucidate the Mechanisms of Therapeutic Effect of Melastoma dodecandrum Ellagitannins on Abnormal Uterine Bleeding.

The abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is complex and usually leads to severe anemia. Melastomadodecandrum (MD) is clinically used for the treatment of metrorrhagia bleeding. The MD ellagitannins (MD-ETs) had been evidenced being effective at hemorrhage, and exerts biological activities upon their metabolites including ellagic acid and urolithins.

Molecular networking-assisted systematical profiling and the in vivo neuroprotective effect of ellagitannins from the Melastoma dodecandrum Lour.

Background: Ellagitannins (ETs) are a major classification of natural tannins, with relatively large and complex structures. ETs from medicinal plants are focused increasingly due to urolithins, a kind of intestinal metabolite of ETs, which showed promising anti-Alzheimer's disease (AD) effects. Melastoma dodecandrum (MD), a widely used traditional Chinese medicine is rich in ETs, but their chemistry and potential neuroprotective effects have not been investigated.

[Relationship Between Social Isolation and Health Behaviors and Ulcer Severity in Diabetic Foot Patients].

Objective: To explore the relationship between social isolation and health behaviors and ulcer severity in patients with diabetic foot.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 160 patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with diabetic foot. The patients received treatment at the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University between September 2020 and December 2021.

Antitumor activity of 7RH, a discoidin domain receptor 1 inhibitor, alone or in combination with dasatinib exhibits antitumor effects in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells.

Dysregulation of the discoidin domain receptors (DDRs) has been implicated in the development of numerous types of tumors, including head and neck cancer, and nasopharyngeal, breast, ovarian and esophageal carcinomas. Furthermore, agents that inhibit DDR1 activity are hypothesized to be useful for the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of the DDR1 inhibitory (3-(2-(pyrazolo(1,5-a)pyrimidin-6-yl)-ethynyl)benzamide compound, 7RH, in NPC cells both and , and its effect when used in combination with dasatinib, a SRC family kinase (SFK) inhibitor.

[Evaluation of factors associated with variability in retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in myopic juveniles aged 7-18 years].

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between retinal nerve fiber layer thickness(RNFLT)measured by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and age, spherical equivalent (SE), axial length, and gender in myopic juveniles.

Methods: Cross-sectional observational study. One hundred and fifty-four juveniles (age range, 7-18 years) underwent ophthalmic examinations.
