[Neurotrophin-associated mechanisms of delayed-onset muscle soreness: research progress and perspective].

Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is a common phenomenon that occurs following a sudden increase in exercise intensity or unfamiliar exercise, significantly affecting athletic performance and efficacy in athletes and fitness individuals. DOMS is characterized by allodynia and hyperalgesia, and their mechanisms remain unclear. Recent studies have reported that neurotrophic factors, such as nerve growth factor (NGF) and glial cell derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), are involved in the development and maintenance of DOMS.

Co-delivery of a tumor microenvironment-responsive disulfiram prodrug and CuO nanoparticles for efficient cancer treatment.

Disulfiram (DSF) has been used as a hangover drug for more than seven decades and was found to have potential in cancer treatment, especially mediated by copper. However, the uncoordinated delivery of disulfiram with copper and the instability of disulfiram limit its further applications. Herein, we synthesize a DSF prodrug using a simple strategy that could be activated in a specific tumor microenvironment.

Construction of CeRNA regulatory network based on WGCNA reveals diagnosis biomarkers for colorectal cancer.

Background: Colorectal cancer is the third most common cause of death among cancers in the world. Although improvements in various treatments have greatly improved the survival time of colorectal cancer patients, since colorectal cancer is often at an advanced stage when diagnosed, the prognosis of patients is still very poor. Since the ceRNA regulatory network was proposed in 2011, it has greatly promoted the study of the molecular mechanism of colorectal cancer occurrence and development.

[Protective effect of Liuweidihuang Pills against cellphone electromagnetic radiation-induced histomorphological abnormality, oxidative injury, and cell apoptosis in rat testes].

Objective: To observe the effect of Liuweidihuang Pills in relieving cellphone electromagnetic radiation-induced histomorphological abnormality, oxidative injury, and cell apoptosis in the rat testis.

Methods: Thirty adult male SD rats were equally randomized into a normal, a radiated, and a Liuweidihuang group, the animals in the latter two groups exposed to electromagnetic radiation of 900 MHz cellphone frequency 4 hours a day for 18 days. Meanwhile, the rats in the Liuweidihuang group were treated with the suspension of Liuweidihuang Pills at 1 ml/100 g body weight and the other rats intragastrically with the equal volume of purified water.
