Six new phenolic glycosides (1-6) and thirteen known compounds (7-19) were isolated from the roots of Scrophularia ningpoensis. Their structures were determined through comprehensive analyses of the physicochemical properties and spectroscopic data (1D NMR, 2D NMR, and HR-ESI-MS). The anti-inflammatory potential of all compounds was evaluated by determining their ability to inhibit lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced NO production in RAW 264.

Article Synopsis
  • Temperature prediction is important for liver cancer treatment as it helps determine the coagulation zone during microwave ablation.
  • Experiments were conducted on porcine liver tissues using machine learning (random forests) to create accurate temperature prediction models, with results showing low average absolute errors for different power settings.
  • The proposed model outperforms traditional imaging methods in measuring coagulation area and can interpret relevant texture features, making it valuable for clinical applications in microwave ablation.

The carcinogenicity of radon has been convincingly documented through epidemiological studies of underground miners. However, there is a lack of early warning indicators for radon radiation damage. In this study, mixed serum samples of 3 groups were collected from 27 underground uranium miners and seven aboveground miners according to the radiation exposure dose.

The carcinogenicity of radon has been convincingly documented through epidemiological studies of underground miners. The risk of lung cancer from radon exposure is due to the continuous radioactive decay of this gas and subsequent emission of high-energy alpha decay particles. And the bronchial epithelial cells are the main targets of radon exposure.

Recent studies have demonstrated that radiation activates in situ antitumor immunity and consequently induced a synergistic effect of radiotherapy and immunotherapy. However, studies related to radiation-induced changes in immune system of tumor-bearing mice are limited, which are of great significance to improve the efficacy of radioimmunotherapy. In this study, we first established a primary lung tumor mouse model using urethane.

In this study, we synthesized photocleavable amphiphilic block copolymers containing photodegradable linkers, 5-hydroxy-2-nitrobenzyl alcohol, as junction points between hydrophilic dextran (or maltodextrin) and hydrophobic poly(4-substituted-ɛ-caprolactone) chains, by using a combination of ring-opening polymerization and nucleophilic substitution reactions. When the polymer solutions were exposed to ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, major structural and morphological changes were observed in the particles. The copolymers were biodegradable and biocompatible, and they can self-assemble into spherical photoresponsive micelles.

Background: Research and clinical applications have demonstrated that the effects of tendon allografts are comparable to those of autografts when reconstructing injured tendons or ligaments, but allograft safety remains problematic. Sterilisation could eliminate or decrease the possibility of disease transmission, but current methods seldom achieve satisfactory sterilisation without affecting the mechanical properties of the tendon.

Hypothesis: Peracetic acid-ethanol in combination with low-dose gamma irradiation (PE-R) would inactivate potential deleterious microorganisms without affecting mechanical and biocompatible properties of tendon allograft.

Objective: To evaluate the cytotoxicity of microdoses peracetic acid (PAA) so as to provide the evidence for making residual limit of PAA sterilization.

Methods: Mouse fibroblasts (L929 cell line) cultured in vitro were observed to evaluate the influence of microdoses PAA including 1 x 10(-6), 2 x 10(-6), 3 x 10(-6), 4 x 10(-6), 5 x 10(-6), and 10 x 10(-6) (V/V). The proliferation of cells was determined by MTT assay at 2, 4, and 7 days of culture.

Objective: To compare the effect of the composite skin graft consisting of split-thickness skin grafts (STSGs) and porcine acellular dermal matrix (PADM) with STSGs only, and to histologically observe the turnover of the PADM in rats.

Methods: Twenty female Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 200-225 g, were included. The size of 4.

The dermal sheath surrounding the outside of the hair follicle maintains and regenerates the dermal papilla, a necessary component for hair regeneration. Dermal sheath cells participate in skin wound healing and have some characteristics of adult stem cells such as immuneprivilege, multiple differentiation and plasticity. It is likely that dermal sheath cells will be the new cynosure in the research on wound healing and tissue engineering.
