Free radical activity towards superoxide anion radical (O2•¯), hydroxyl radical (HO(•)) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH(•)) of a series of novel thiazolidine-2,4-dione derivatives (TSs) was examined using chemiluminescence, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and EPR spin trapping techniques. 5,5-Dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO) was applied as the spin trap. Superoxide radical was produced in the potassium superoxide/18-crown-6 ether dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide. Hydroxyl radical was generated in the Fenton reaction (Fe(II) + H2O2. It was found that TSs showed a slight scavenging effect (15-38% reduction at 2.5 mmol/L concentration) of the DPPH radical and a high scavenging effect of O2•¯ (41-88%). The tested compounds showed inhibition of HO(•)-dependent DMPO-OH spin adduct formation (the amplitude of EPR signal decrease ranged from 20 to 76% at 2.5 mmol/L concentration. Our findings present new group compounds of relatively high reactivity towards free radicals.

The efficacy of photodynamic treatment (PDT) against deep-seated tumor is hindered by low penetration depth of light as well as hypoxic conditions which prevails in tumor. To overcome this limitation, Near-infrared (NIR) absorbing photosensitizers have been investigated actively. In the present study we evaluated the PDT efficacy of an NIR absorbing chlorophyll derivative 'Cycloimide Purpurin-18 (CIPp-18)' in Human Breast carcinoma (MCF-7) and cervical adenocarcinoma (Hela) cells under normoxic and hypoxic conditions.

The Lentinus edodes polysaccharide (LEP) was extracted with a new subcritical water extraction (SWE) enhanced with deep eutectic solvent (DES) method and then purified with a DEAE-52 cellulose column and a Sephadex G-100 column. Two purified polysaccharides (LEP1 and LEP2) were obtained and their structure, antioxidant activity, and immunomodulatory activity were analyzed. LEP1 and LEP2 were composed of mannose, glucose, and galactose with a molar ratio of 1:12.

Patients And Methods: This study was a multi-institutional retrospective analysis conducted by the UTUC Collaborative Network (UCAN), combining data from 2276 patients with UTUC who underwent radical nephroureterectomy at seven high-volume tertiary care centres in the United States. The UCAN data were analysed to evaluate the impact of response to NAC on survival outcomes in patients with UTUC.

Granulosa cells (GCs) are pivotal in the development of ovarian follicles, serving not only as supportive cells but also as the primary producers of steroid hormones. The proliferation of these cells and the synthesis of steroid hormones are crucial for follicular development and atresia. In our study, GCs were isolated using follicular fluid aspiration and subsequently identified through immunofluorescence.
