The mice models of blood stasis were established by injecting dexamethasone into the intramuscular of side the thigh for successive 15 days, and giving related drugs via an intragastric administration. Firstly, the method of blocking the bilateral common carotid artery (CCA) was used for 10 minutes, and then perfusion restore for 5 days. Secondly, the method of CCA was used for 30 minutes, and then reperfusion for 24 hours. The whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity, the activity of NOS and ATPase and the level of NOS, and the content of Glu in the ischemic brain were measured. The morphological changes of brain tissue were observed by eosin (HE) staining technique. The results showed that compared with IPC model group the large doses of the flavonoids could reduce the viscosity of whole blood significantly (P<0.01). The small and medium doses of flavonoids could reduce the whole blood viscosity low-shear obviously (P<0.01). The medium doses of flavonoids could reduce the midst-shear obviously (P<0.05). The large and medium dose of flavonoids could significantly improve the ATP activity (P<0.01). The medium dose of flavonoids could improve the Na⁺-K⁺-ATPase activity significantly (P<0.01). The small dose of flavonoids could improve the Na⁺-K⁺-ATPase activity obviously (P<0.05). The large doses of flavonoids could reduce the content of gluin the ischemic brain significantly (P<0.01). And the others does of flavonoids could reduce the content of gluin the ischemic brain obviously (P<0.05). The large doses of flavonoids could reduce the activity of TNOS and iNOS significantly (P<0.01). The medium doses of flavonoids could reduce the activity of TNOS and iNOS obviously (P<0.05). The small doses of flavonoids could reduce the activity of iNOS obviously (P<0.05). Total flavonoids could obviously or significantly decrease the whole blood viscosity, the activity of NOS and the content of gluin the ischemic brain, increase the activity of ATPase significantly or obviously, could significantly relieve the degree of pathological injury of brain tissue of animal models.

Food choices during stressful periods often worsen, which can influence the impact of stress on vascular health. For instance, fat consumption impairs the recovery of endothelial function following mental stress, while flavanols have been shown to enhance recovery. This randomised, counterbalanced, double-blinded, crossover, postprandial intervention study examined whether flavanols consumed in combination with fat can mitigate the negative impact of fat on stress-induced impairments in endothelial function.

Article Synopsis
  • Cholangiocarcinomas (CCA) are aggressive and poorly prognosed cancers, influenced by genetic changes such as MDM2 mutations; targeted therapies like Brigimadlin show potential benefits for specific patient groups.
  • This study focused on 52 CCA patients to explore the relationship between MDM2 status and patient outcomes, using methods like FISH and IHC to analyze tumor samples.
  • Results indicated that 5.8% of patients had MDM2 amplification, mostly in intrahepatic CCA, where improved survival rates were observed for those with amplification compared to those without.

Article Synopsis
  • Chorioamnionitis (HCA) and funisitis (FUN) are linked to preterm birth, and their combined effects can negatively influence an infant's respiratory drive after birth.* -
  • A study involving 186 infants found that those with HCA and FUN had significantly lower gestational ages and birthweights compared to those without these conditions.* -
  • While HCA and FUN were associated with reduced breathing effort in the first five minutes of life, subclinical HCA and FUN showed no significant impact on breathing metrics.*

Article Synopsis
  • * Epidemiological studies indicate higher incidence rates of BTC in South and Central Asia, particularly for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA), compared to much lower rates in Europe and the U.S.
  • * The review also highlights the varying frequency of MDM2 gene amplifications in BTC subtypes, with gallbladder cancer showing the highest amplification rates, emphasizing the importance of standardized assessment in BTC research.
