Article Synopsis
- Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a GI disorder known for chronic inflammation, and while existing treatments manage symptoms, they have limitations, prompting interest in herbal remedies like jujuba extract.
- In this study involving 15 male BALB/c mice, researchers assessed the effects of jujuba extract against UC induced by acetic acid, comparing results to those treated with mesalamine.
- The results indicated that jujuba extract significantly reduced several inflammation markers and the expression of related pro-inflammatory genes, suggesting its potential as an effective anti-inflammatory treatment for UC.

The purpose of this study is to adopt the Bayesian model averaging (BMA) based on linear regression models and to determine the predictors of the LOHS of COVID-19.
Methods: In this historical cohort study, from 5100 COVID-19 patients who had registered in the hospital database, 4996 patients were eligible to enter the study.
