Article Synopsis
- Retinoblastoma is a rare eye cancer typically caused by mutations in the RB1 gene, with survival rates significantly higher in high-income countries compared to low-income ones like China, where only about 30% survive.
- Researchers focused on Yunnan province, where there's low awareness of genetic testing in managing retinoblastoma, and found that improved access to specialized care could enhance survival rates.
- The study successfully identified nine mutations in Yunnan's patients, including four novel pathogenic variants, highlighting the importance of genetic testing for better treatment and family screening.
This work was designed to identify the effect of 5,7,3'-triacetyl hesperetin (TAHP) on rat adjuvant arthritis (AA) and further clarify the possible role of TAHP on modulating Janus kinase signal transducers and activators (JAK/STAT in this process. Freund's complete adjuvant was used to induce AA in rats. TAHP (33, 66, 132 mg/kg) was administered intragastrically.
