Many traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formulae have been used in cancer therapy. The JIN formula is an ancient herbal formula recorded in the classic TCM book Jin Kui Yao Lue (Golden Chamber). The JIN formula significantly delayed the growth of subcutaneous human H460 xenografted tumors in vivo compared with the growth of mock controls. Gene array analysis of signal transduction in cancer showed that the JIN formula acted on multiple targets such as the mitogen-activated protein kinase, hedgehog, and Wnt signaling pathways. The coformula treatment of JIN and diamminedichloroplatinum (DDP) affected the stress/heat shock pathway. Proteomic analysis showed 36 and 84 differentially expressed proteins between the mock and DDP groups and between the mock and JIN groups, respectively. GoMiner analysis revealed that the differentially expressed proteins between the JIN and mock groups were enriched during cellular metabolic processes, and so forth. The ones between the DDP and mock groups were enriched during protein-DNA complex assembly, and so forth. Most downregulated proteins in the JIN group were heat shock proteins (HSPs) such as HSP90AA1 and HSPA1B, which could be used as markers to monitor responses to the JIN formula therapy. The mechanism of action of the JIN formula on HSP proteins warrants further investigation.

School of Basic Medical Sciences, Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, Hangzhou, China.
Background: Salvianolic acid B (Sal B) is potentially the most valuable water-soluble active component in Salvia miltiorrhiza. Its chemical formula contains multiple phenolic hydroxyl groups, so it has a strong antioxidant capacity.
Objective: We aim to investigate the efficacy and the potential mechanism of Sal B in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke injury.

The impact of seasonal short-term drought on plant physiology and resilience is crucial for conservation and management strategies. This study investigated drought stress effects on growth, photosynthetic capacity, and physiological responses of Camphor (Cinnamomum camphora) seedlings in Guangxi province, China. Fertilized potted plants underwent continuous drought treatments to assess varying water supply effects.

The purpose of this study was to comprehensively analyze the prediction role of NADPH oxidase (NOX)-related polymorphisms (NCF4: rs1883112, CYBA: rs4673, RAC2: rs13058338) and immunohistochemical indices on survival in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).The impact of NOX polymorphisms were evaluated in 335 DLBCL patients treated with R (rituximab)-CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) from Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital. We also collected information on their immunohistochemical expression and clinical outcomes.

School of Civil Engineering and Transportation, Northeast Forestry University, Harbin 150040, China.
Given the current construction waste accumulation problem, to utilize the resource of red brick solid waste, construction waste red brick was used as a concrete coarse aggregate combined with polypropylene fiber to prepare PPF (polypropylene fiber)-reinforced recycled brick aggregate concrete. Through a cube compression test, axial compression test, and four-point bending test of 15 groups of specimens, the influences of the aggregate replacement rate of recycled brick and the PPF volume on the mechanical properties of recycled brick aggregate concrete reinforced by PPF were studied, and a strength parameter calculation formula was constructed and modified based on the above. Finally, combined with a life cycle assessment (LCA), the carbon emissions of raw materials were analyzed and evaluated.

This study introduces a novel method that integrates artificial neural networks (ANNs) with the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm to enhance the efficiency and precision of parameter optimization for the small-signal equivalent model of dual-field-plate GaN HEMT devices. We initially train an ANN model to predict the S-parameters of the device, and subsequently utilize the PSO algorithm for parameter optimization. Comparative analysis with the NSGA2 and DE algorithms, based on convergence speed and accuracy, underscores the superiority of the PSO algorithm.
