Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted on 24 male rats to examine how different light/dark cycles (control, constant dark, constant light, and shifting light) affect erectile function.
- The results showed that rats under disturbed circadian rhythms had significantly lower erectile function and reduced levels of key enzymes related to nitric oxide production, which is essential for maintaining erections.
- The findings suggest that circadian disturbances impair endothelial function and contribute to erectile dysfunction, highlighting the need for further research to understand which specific circadian elements play a role in this process.
Two new tetrahydrobenzocyclooctabenzofuranone lignans (1-2), a new dibenzocyclooctadiene lignan (3) and three new schiartane-type triterpenoids (4-6), together with six known compounds (7-12), were isolated from the roots of Kadsura longipedunculata. Their structures were elucidated by extensive NMR and HRESIMS spectroscopic data analysis. The absolute configurations of these compounds were determined by comparison of the experimental and calculated ECD spectra.

We present a series of patients with eyelid sporotrichosis and study the clinical and histopathological presentation, microbiology, treatment options, and outcome.
Methods: A retrospective case-series study of patients with a clinical diagnosis of eyelid sporotrichosis.
