Article Synopsis
- Researchers discovered five new compounds from a rare group of natural products found in fungi, specifically analogues named simpliketals A-D and simplilactones A and B, along with five known compounds.
- They used advanced methods like NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction to define the structures of these compounds and proposed a new biosynthetic pathway for their formation, differing from previously assumed methods.
- Cytotoxicity tests revealed that the newly discovered compounds exhibited varying degrees of inhibitory activity against specific cancer cell lines, with simpliketals showing weak to moderate effects.
Neat1 decreases neuronal apoptosis after oxygen and glucose deprivation.
Neural Regen Res
January 2022
Studies have shown that downregulation of nuclear-enriched autosomal transcript 1 (Neat1) may adversely affect the recovery of nerve function and the increased loss of hippocampal neurons in mice. Whether Neat1 has protective or inhibitory effects on neuronal cell apoptosis after secondary brain injury remains unclear. Therefore, the effects of Neat1 on neuronal apoptosis were observed.

Methods: One hundred and eleven cases were randomized into an acupuncture-moxibustion group, an elongated needle group and a herb-partitioned moxibustion group, 37 cases in each group. In acupuncture-moxibustion group, penetration needling with elongated needle was applied at Dachangshu (BL 25), Guanyuanshu (BL 26) and Huantiao (GB 30), which was followed with herb-partitioned moxibustion at Shenque (CV 8) and Yaoyangguan (GV 3), etc, once a day.
This study examines electrocorticography (ECoG) signals in patients with supratentorial meningioma before and after tumor resection, and discusses its predictive value with regard to postoperative epilepsy. Ninety-one patients with supratentorial meningioma, who presented with seizures, were studied. Patients were followed-up for 2 to 5 years, and the occurrence rate of postoperative epilepsy in each group was compared.

Methods: One hundred and sixty cases were randomly divided into a heat sensitive moxibustion group (n = 54), a traditional hanging moxibustion group (n = 53) and an acupuncture group (n = 53). In heat sensitive moxibustion group, heat sensitive points were explored among acupoints on neck and nucha, lateral part of forearm and crus, etc.
