Article Synopsis
- Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) experience higher rates of cardiac dysfunction, leading to increased mortality despite treatment.
- In an animal study using collagen-induced arthritis models, researchers found persistent cardiac dysfunction and a link between elevated epinephrine levels and heart failure biomarkers in RA.
- Treatment with β-adrenergic blockers improved heart function, suggesting targeting β-adrenergic stress may help protect RA patients from heart failure.
Overuse of antibiotics in animal husbandry has led to an increase of antibiotic resistance microorganisms as well as antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs). Duck farming in China is practiced on a large and diverse scale and the overuse of antibiotics in this field is gaining attention recently. We evaluated the diversity of ARGs from five duck farms using a functional metagenomic approach and constructed five libraries.

Advance on chemical constituents and pharmacological activities of Stellera plants have been conducted. The chemical constituents include terpenes, coumarins, flavonoids, lignans, volatile oils, and other compounds. Pharmacological studies showed that diterpenoids and biflavones showed strong activities, such as antitumor, anti-HIV, and immune regulations.
