The chemical constituents of the roots of Ligularia lankongensis collected at seven different places in Yunnan Province, China, were investigated together with the DNA sequence of the atpB- rbcL intergenic region. All the samples contained a new, highly oxygenated bisabolane-type sesquiterpene ( 1). Four other oxygenated bisabolanes ( 2 and the new 3, 4, and 5) were also obtained. Intraspecific diversity was observed in the composition of the compounds, but not in the DNA sequence.

Essentially, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) serves as a line of demarcation between neural tissues and the bloodstream. A unique and protective characteristic of the blood-brain barrier is its ability to maintain cerebral homeostasis by regulating the flux of molecules and ions. The inability to uphold proper functioning in any of these constituents leads to the disruption of this specialized multicellular arrangement, consequently fostering neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration.

Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining is a suitable approach for detecting substantial structural changes in neural tissues but is less sensitive for identifying subtle alterations to subcellular structures and various chemical constituents, including myelin. Neurohistological methods to better evaluate myelin integrity by light microscopy include acidophilic dyes (eg, eriochrome cyanine R, toluidine blue [used with hard plastic sections]); lipoprotein-binding dyes (eg, Luxol fast blue [LFB], Weil's iron hematoxylin); lipid impregnation with metals (eg, Marchi's, which uses osmium tetroxide for en bloc staining before embedding); and immunohistochemical (IHC) methods to highlight various antigens (eg, myelin basic protein [MBP] and peripheral myelin protein 22 [PMP22]). Some IHC methods reveal enhanced marker expression in damaged myelin (eg, matrix metalloproteinase-9 [MMP9], S100).

Hair relaxers are predominantly used by Black women in the United States. It has been recently suggested that exposure to potential endocrine-disrupting compounds from the use of these products may be associated with the development of gynecological and breast cancers and anatomically relevant nonmalignancies. We conducted a systematic literature review using PubMed to identify original studies reporting measures of association between hair relaxer use and relevant adverse outcomes, focusing specifically on Black women in the United States.
