Introduction: () Microsporidia can cause opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients and is also an emerging disease in these individuals. Its clinical manifestations are chronic diarrhea and severe wasting syndrome, these can be extremely debilitating and carry a significant risk of death for immunocompromised patients. Often, microsporidia cannot be confirmed immediately by routine examination and culture.

One hundred and fifty-three patients who experienced grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia after chemotherapy for lymphoma were enrolled, 51 of which were treated with eltrombopag, 50 with rhTPO, and 52 patients with no drug treatment were served as the control group. The lowest platelet level and mean platelet counts at Day 5, Day 7, and Day 10 were significantly higher in both the eltrombopag group (P=.

The first line chemotherapeutic agent, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), plays a predominant role in the clinical treatment of CRC. However, with the wide use of 5-FU, more and more CRC patients have been obtaining drug resistance to 5-FU, which leads to a large amount of treatment failures.

This study aimed to explore the effect of ruxolitinib-containing treatment for patients with lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic syndrome (LAHS).
Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients with LAHS hospitalized at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Pharmaceutical University between October 2017 and September 2019.
Background: , a popular Chinese herb, called DiYu, has been shown to inhibit the growth of many human cancer cell lines, including colorectal cancer cells. The aims of this study were to discover the active compound and molecular mechanism of against Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and develop Wnt inhibitors from natural products as anti-colorectal cancer agents.
Methods: 1,4,6-Tri--galloyl-β-d-glucopyranose (TGG) was obtained by the preparative HPLC.

Agricultural non-point source pollution causes global warming and the deterioration of air and water quality. It is difficult to identify and monitor the emission sources of agricultural pollution due to the large number of farms in China. Many studies focus on the technological aspect of achieving agricultural sustainability, but its socioeconomic aspect is poorly understood.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Radix astragali (RA) was the most frequently used traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) according to the statistics on 52 anti-diabetic formulas recorded in New National Traditional Chinese Medicine; it was employed in 34 out of the 52 formulas. The aim of this study was to elucidate potential pharmacokinetic interaction between RA and pioglitazone, and to provide guidance for clinical medicine safety.
Materials And Methods: A specific and rapid UPLC-MS/MS method was established to quantify pioglitazone in rat plasma.
Background: Dahuang Huanglian Xiexin Decoction (DHXD) is a classical formula in traditional Chinese medicines. In this study, a novel UPLC-MS/MS method was developed for the simultaneous quantification of rhein, emodin, berberine and baicalin, the major bioactive compounds of DHXD in rat plasma.
Results: The method possessed high sensitivity and ultrashort analysis time (7 min).
A novel, simple and rapid ultraperformance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) assay was established for quantification of saxagliptin in rat plasma. Plasma samples were processed by liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate and chromatographed on a C₁₈ column (2.1 × 50 mm i.
