Article Synopsis
  • Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a prevalent condition in older adults, marked by excessive growth of prostate cells, and neferine—an alkaloid with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties—shows promise in treating it.
  • Neferine administration in a BPH mouse model reduced prostate weight and expression levels of various proteins linked to BPH progression, potentially indicating its effectiveness in managing the disease.
  • Additionally, neferine appears to counteract the effects of TGF-β1 on prostate cells, suggesting its role in regulating important signaling pathways that contribute to prostate health, making it a potential candidate for BPH treatment.

This paper proposes a novel optimized complex network method (OCNM) for measuring an individual's attention level using single-electrode electroencephalography (EEG) signals.
