The genus Artemisia is one of the most abundant groups of medicinal plants in the Asteraceae family. Based on the theoretical basis of the pharmacophylogeny, the phylogenetic analysis, association analysis and other methods were used to systematically sort out the genetic relationships, properties, tastes, chemical constituents, and traditional efficacy of Mongolian medicines of genus Artemisia(MMA). The correlation and regularity were discussed.

Objectives: Fundamental motor skills (FMS) are the foundation of children's movement, requiring tailored training and guidance for development. As an emerging training method, functional training is optimistic in promoting the development of children's fundamental motor skills. However, current studies have not assessed the effect of functional training on fundamental motor skills.

Skeletal muscle contusion (SMC) is common in daily life and clinical practice, but the molecular mechanisms underlying SMC healing are unclear. Ferroptosis, a regulated cell death type, has gained attention recently. We observed iron overload in skeletal muscle following contusion through HE and Perls staining.

The sustainable development of sports facilities and their integration with the ecological environment are crucial in addressing global environmental challenges. This study examines the coupling coordination between sports facilities and the ecological environment in nine prefecture-level cities in Fujian Province, China, from 2013 to 2020, within the framework of China's "Dual Carbon" strategy. Using a multidisciplinary approach that integrates economics, sociology, and geography, the study employs the entropy method and coupling coordination models to analyze the temporal evolution and spatial distribution of the coupling coordination between sports facilities and the ecological environment.

Article Synopsis
  • * An analysis of the NHANES database revealed a significant link between abnormal cholesterol metabolism and depression, confirmed by experiments inducing depressive behaviors in mice through restraint stress.
  • * Disruptions in cholesterol metabolism-related genes in the brain, particularly in the frontal cortex, were found to reduce synaptic protein levels and promote depressive symptoms, suggesting that the NR3C1/NRIP1/NR1H2 signaling pathway plays a crucial role.

Article Synopsis
  • Stress can cause significant damage to liver cells, highlighting a notable lack of research in this area, which this study aimed to address.* -
  • The researchers developed a mouse model of restraint stress and used various advanced techniques to analyze liver function and cell damage, finding that oxidative stress plays a key role.* -
  • The findings suggest that the methylation of the GSTP1 gene contributes to liver damage during stress, implicating a pathway (TF/Nrf2) linked to a specific type of cell death called ferroptosis.*

A rare autosomal recessive genetic disease is spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress type 1 (SMARD 1; OMIM #604320), which is characterized by progressive distal limb muscle weakness, muscular atrophy, and early onset of respiratory failure. Herein, we report the case of a 4-month-old female infant with SMARD type 1 who was admitted to our hospital owing to unexplained distal limb muscle weakness and early respiratory failure. This report summarizes the characteristics of SMARD type 1 caused by heterozygous variation in the immunoglobulin mu DNA binding protein 2 (IGHMBP2) gene by analyzing its clinical manifestations, genetic variation characteristics, and related examinations, aiming to deepen clinicians' understanding of the disease, assisting pediatricians in providing medical information to parents and improving the decision-making process involved in establishing life support.

Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is an infrequent and persistent B-cell inert lymphoid leukemia. In this study, we present the case of a 71-year-old female patient with a previous diagnosis of variant HCL who experienced a severe herpes zoster infection leading to an extensive skin eruption. The patient's initial diagnosis of HCL occurred 7 years ago, and she underwent treatment with cladribine, interferon, COP (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone), benztropine tablets + clarithromycin dispersible, and ibrutinib.

  • The study investigates the effects of the Jeduxiaoliu formula (JDXLF) on lymphoma, aiming to understand its mechanism of action in treating this common blood cancer.
  • Using RNA-Seq and various assays, researchers found that JDXLF significantly affects lymphoma cell proliferation, induces apoptosis, and alters gene expression linked to cancer cell death.
  • In mouse models, JDXLF demonstrated a notable tumor-shrinking effect, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic option for lymphoma treatment and emphasizing the need for further research.

Recycled rubber concrete (RRC), a sustainable building material, provides a solution to the environmental issues posed by rubber waste. This research introduces a sophisticated hybrid random aggregate model for RRC. The model is established by combining convex polygon aggregates and rounded rubber co-casting schemes with supplemental tools developed in MATLAB and Fortran for processing.

The paper discussed the use of machine learning (ML) and quantum chemistry calculations to predict the transition state and yield of copper-catalyzed P-H insertion reactions. By analyzing a dataset of 120 experimental data points, the transition state was determined using density functional theory (DFT). ML algorithms were then applied to analyze 16 descriptors derived from the quantum chemical transition state to predict the product yield.

Objective: Microneedling with topical tranexamic acid (TXA) is a novel treatment option for melasma; however, the efficacy and safety of this combined administration therapy is in controversial. This study is conducted to address this issue of this technique in melasma.

Methods: An extensive literature review was performed to identify relevant trials, including randomized split-face studies, randomized controlled trials and prospective non-randomized split-face studies, comparing microneedling plus topical TXA to routine treatments or placebo.

In this study, Ti particles reinforced Mg AZ31/Al 6082 composite sheets were successfully prepared by hot rolling, with the aim of revealing the effect of Ti particles addition on the mechanical behavior and microstructure of Mg AZ31/Al 6082 composite sheets. The results showed that Ti particles were uniformly distributed at the interface of the Mg/Al-Ti composite sheets, which could greatly reduce the amount of Mg-Al intermetallic compounds during annealing treatment. Compared to the Mg/Al sheet, the tensile strength and elongation of the Mg/Al-Ti sheet could be improved simultaneously after the annealing treatment.

Background: Glioma is the most malignant cancer in the brain. As a major vitamin-K-dependent protein in the central nervous system, PROS1 not only plays a vital role in blood coagulation, and some studies have found that it was associated with tumor immune infiltration. However, the prognostic significance of PROS1 in glioma and the underlying mechanism of PROS1 in shaping the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) remains unclear.
