serovar Typhimurium (STM) causes severe colitis, necessitating the development of effective drugs. Here, the dockings of limonin with the STM T3SS-1 virulence factor SopB or SopE2 showed strong binding activity and was verified by CETSA and DARTS assays . Limonin inhibited the enzyme activities and expression of SopB and SopE2 .

Typhimurium is a foodborne pathogen threatening livestock and human health. It is highly resistant to commonly used clinical antibiotics, and it is urgently needed to explore new anti- treatment schemes. In this study, first, our mouse experiments showed that Baitouweng decoction (BTW), a classical Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) prescription, had good efficacy against Typhimurium infection: mitigating weight loss of mice; lowering the bacterial load of liver, spleen, and colon; reducing the production of serum inflammatory factors (interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α); and decreasing histological index scores than that in the Typhimurium infection group.

Background: To date, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are widely used as the primary first-line treatment option for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and the curative effect of methotrexate (MTX) and leflunomide (LEF; MTX + LEF) is greater than that of single-agent MTX therapy, but the synergistic mechanism of MTX + LEF is unclear.

Methods: First, we explored the mechanism of action of MTX + LEF in RA through network pharmacology and molecular docking. Venn diagram analysis revealed 97 overlapping gene targets of MTX + LEF-RA and STRING, along with Cytoscape plug-in MOCDE and cytoHubba; and GO enrichment analysis revealed that the functions of 97 synergistic targets were related to 123 molecular functions (MF), 63 cell components (CC), and 1,068 biological processes (BP).

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of different doses of teriparatide (TPTD) on bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ).

Materials And Methods: To establish the BRONJ model, 20 mice were randomly divided into two groups: a group that received tail vein administration of zoledronic acid with dexamethasone (ZA-125 µg/kg, DEX 5 mg/kg) and a group that received saline weekly. The mice subsequently underwent bilateral maxillary first molar extraction.

Severe adverse reactions of bisphosphonates and anti-resorptive or anti-angiogenic medications, termed medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), have been reported. MRONJ are difficult to completely cure and could cause great pain to patients. Recent studies have shown that mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapies are effective for treating MRONJ, but the method of intravenous injection is unstable and increases the risk of producing tumors.

Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) has been associated with long-term oral or intravenous administration of nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (BPs). However, the pathogenesis of BRONJ remains unknown, and definitively effective treatment has not yet been established. Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis (BRON) tends to occur in maxillofacial bones.

Under the sunlight irradiation, the four common trace pollutants such as metronidazole, diclofenac, sulfamethoxazole and ibuprofen were degradated and mineralized by the hydroxyl radical (*OH) generated from decomposition of H2O2 catalyzed by ferrioxalate (FeOx), and the toxicity of the water solution containing degradated products and intermediates were evaluated. The factors affecting the removal of the TOC, such as the initial concentration of H2O2, FeOx, and the pH, were investigated through an indicator of total organic carbon. The disappearing rate of pollutants in aqueous solution was explained according to the chemical structure of the pharmaceuticals; the biotoxicity of the pharmaceuticals and the intermediates were evaluated by EC50 value of pharmaceutical solution to the Chlorella.
