Acute liver injury (ALI) refers to the damage to the liver cells of patients due to drugs, food, and diseases. In this work, we used a network pharmacology approach to analyze the relevant targets and pathways of the active ingredients in Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium (CRP) for the treatment of ALI and conducted systematic validation through in vivo and in vitro experiments. The network pharmacologic results predicted that naringenin (NIN) was the main active component of CRP in the treatment of ALI.

Background And Aims: Systematic reviews of the relationship between alcohol consumption and all-cause mortality have reported different relative risk (RR) curves, possibly due to the choice of reference group. Results have varied from 'J-shaped' curves, where low-volume consumption is associated with reduced risk, to monotonically increased risk with increasing consumption. We summarised the evidence on alcohol consumption and all-cause mortality exclusively from systematic reviews using lifetime abstainers or low-volume/occasional drinkers as the reference group.

Article Synopsis
  • - The Sirtuins family, specifically SIRT6, plays a crucial role in protecting myocardial cells from damage and aging caused by the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin (DOX), as evidenced by its ability to inhibit oxidative stress and apoptosis in these cells.
  • - In laboratory tests, SIRT6 overexpression was shown to reduce aging markers and inflammatory factors linked to DOX exposure, while silencing SIRT6 worsened cardiomyocyte injury, indicating its protective effects against DOX-induced damage.
  • - Furthermore, SIRT6 enhances fatty acid oxidation-related gene expression through interaction with PPARα, and in animal models, its overexpression restored normal heart function, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for preventing DOX

Article Synopsis
  • * PARP-1 is a well-known protein that might help treat cardiovascular diseases linked to DOX, but PARP-2, another member of the PARP family, has not been well studied in this context.
  • * This study reveals that reducing PARP-2 may protect heart cells from aging caused by DOX, while increasing PARP-2 worsens cell damage, indicating that targeting PARP-2 could be a promising approach for preventing DOX-related heart problems.

Background: Liver is a vital organ responsible for metabolizing and detoxifying both endogenous and exogenous substances in the body. However, it is susceptible to damage from chemical and natural toxins. The high incidence and mortality rates of liver disease and its associated complications impose a significant economic burden and survival pressure on patients and their families.

Background: The conserved sirtuin protein sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) is a vital protective protein for cardiac hypertrophy. Inhibition of SIRT3 accelerated the development of heart hypertrophy. On the other hand, myocardial hypertrophy was prevented by overexpressing SIRT3.

Green total factor productivity (GTFP) improvement is an important way to achieve sustainable development, and how to improve GTFP has become the focus of attention of governments and scholars. This paper constructs a GTFP evaluation index system to characterize social, economic, ecological, cultural, and politically sustainable development, and analyzes the impact of environmental regulations on GTFP in the context of increasing innovative labor force. The results of the study are as follows: Firstly, China's GTFP continues to improve, with a decrease in low-value provinces and an increase in high-value provinces; there is an agglomeration effect of GTFP in the eastern and western regions.

Article Synopsis
  • Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious health problem for patients in hospitals, often caused by infections and certain medicines, and current treatments don't always work well.
  • Curcumin, a natural substance from the turmeric plant, shows promise in helping AKI by improving kidney function and reducing inflammation, but it doesn't get absorbed well in the body.
  • This review looks at curcumin's benefits for AKI and suggests using nanotechnology to make it work better in treatments for people.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI), a common multidisciplinary diagnostic clinical critical illness, eventually causes end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Although many clinical measures have been taken to prevent or treat AKI, high morbidity and death rates were recorded. Therefore, in-depth pathogenesis study and search for new therapeutic targets are in demand.
