Article Synopsis
  • * The study analyzed lp (a) and CRP data from 2712 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and found that higher lp (a) variability correlates with increased mean CRP levels within a year post-PCI.
  • * The findings suggest that lp (a) variability could serve as an independent risk factor for higher post-PCI CRP levels, emphasizing its relevance in assessing inflammation and coronary artery disease risk.

Adaptive intervention(AI)is a methodology which dynamically evaluates adaptive variables at decision points and timely adjusts and develops tailored strategies to meet individual needs.The study reviewed the origin and development and elaborated the core elements(including intervention outcomes,intervention options,decision points,tailoring variables,and decision rules)and the classification of AI.Based on the literature,the key points of the design and implementation of AI were prospected,which can provide evidence for the research and development of health behavior intervention.

Gentimilegenins A, B (1, 2), (6R, 8R)-6-hydroxy swerimuslactone A (3), (6R, 8S)-6-hydroxy swerimuslactone A (4), 4-hydroxy roburic acid methyl ester (5), (±) 3'-hydroxy gentioxepine (6), N-heptacosanoyl anthranilic acid (7a), N-nonacosanoyl anthranilic acid (7b), together with 40 known compounds were isolated from the roots of Gentiana macrophylla Pall. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of comprehensive analysis of HRESIMS, IR, 1D-, 2D-NMR and X-ray diffraction. The anti-inflammatory effects of selected compounds were also evaluated through the detection of their inhibitory effects on NO production in LPS-induced RAW264.

There are presently no miracle drugs for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study investigates the synergistic effect of Silibinin combined with Pu-erh tea extract (PTE) against NAFLD and explores the suggested mechanism of action. Ob/ob mice were fed a high fat diet along with the oral administration of Silibinin (86 mg per kg per day), PTE (250 mg per kg per day) or their combination for 6 weeks.

The brain of a human neonate is more vulnerable to hypoglycemia than that of pediatric and adult patients. Repetitive and profound hypoglycemia during the neonatal period (RPHN) causes brain damage and leads to severe neurologic sequelae. Ex vivo high-resolution (1)H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was carried out in the present study to detect metabolite alterations in newborn and adolescent rats and investigate the effects of RPHN on their occipital cortex and hippocampus.
