Objective: To investigate the blood fibrinogen (FIB) content before and after chemotherapy or radiotherapy in 43 malignant tumor patients.
Methods: COULTER ACL-200 automated coagulation analyzer was used in monitoring FIB in the patients.
Results: The FIB content was significantly higher in malignant tumor patients than that in benign disease patients. Significant reduction was observed after treatment which became elevated again when there was recurrence or metastasis.
Conclusion: Assessment of FIB not only helps to diagnose cancers but evaluate the therapeutic effect and prognosis also.

Relationship of tea consumption with hepatic steatosis and fibrosis: findings from a longitudinal RaNCD cohort.
BMC Nutr
March 2025
Research Center for Environmental Determinants of Health (RCEDH), Health Institute, Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences, Kermanshah, Iran.
Background: Tea, known for its high content of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds such as catechins, is believed to support liver health. This study aimed to explore the relationship between tea consumption and hepatic steatosis and fibrosis.
Methods: This longitudinal study involved 2,537 participants from the Ravanser Non-Communicable Disease (RaNCD) cohort, conducted from 2015 to 2023.
Elucidating the physicochemical interactions between fibrinogen and surfactant mixtures: Implications for pharmaceutical sciences.

Soft Matter and Molecular Biophysics Group, Department of Applied Physics and Institute of Materials (iMATUS), University of Santiago de Compostela, 15782 Santiago de Compostela, Spain.
This study investigates the physicochemical interactions between fibrinogen (Fib), a key glycoprotein in blood clotting, and a mixture of two biologically active compounds: dicloxacillin (Diclox), an antibiotic; and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), a cationic surfactant. Understanding these interactions is crucial for enhancing drug delivery systems and optimizing pharmaceutical formulations. Molecular docking simulations and various spectroscopic techniques, including UV-Vis, fluorescence, and circular dichroism, were employed to explore how this mixture affects the structural and functional properties of fibrinogen.

Although models have been proposed to explain the mechanisms of bioglass (BG) dissolution and subsequent calcium phosphate (CaP) mineralization, open questions remain. The processes in which phase transition occurs in aqueous solutions and their dynamics remain underexplored partly because traditional instruments/techniques do not allow for direct observations at the adequate time and length scales at which such phase transformations occur. For instance, given the crucial role of the silica gel in CaP formation during BG dissolution, uncertainty exists about how such a silica gel forms on the BG surface.

Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of imeglimin in improving liver function and fibrosis in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) complicated by metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).
Materials And Methods: We conducted a multicentre study involving 80 patients with T2D and MASLD who were treated with or without imeglimin for 24 weeks. We assessed the changes in diabetes-related parameters, including HbA1c, fasting blood glucose, glycoalbumin and C-peptide index.
Preparation, Characterization, Stability and Release of a Pea Protein Fibril-Based Iron Fortificant via Self-Assembly.

School of Public Health, Shenzhen University Medical School, Shenzhen University, Shenzhen 518060, China.
It is assumed that the stability and bioaccessibility of iron ions in iron-pea protein fibril (Fe-Fib PP) nanocomposite can be remarkably enhanced, and Fe-Fib PP exhibits great potential as an effective iron fortificant. Fe-Fib PP, a stable and effective iron supplement, was fabricated based on the reducing property of pea protein fibrils, derived from pea protein through thermal treatment at pH 2.0.
