A 68-year-old woman with a medical history significant for psoriatic arthritis was found to have an enlarged, painful lump on her left hip 15 months after intramedullary rod placement for a left subtrochanteric femur fracture sustained in a fall. Histopathological findings showed rice body formation (RBF) with concurrent . RBF is a relatively rare arthropathy of a subset of chronic inflammatory disease such as rheumatoid arthritis or tuberculous arthropathy. RBF associated with psoriatic arthritis or orthopedic hardware placement has been reported in a handful of cases in the literature but there has not been any definitive evidence for RBF as a result infections and is a rather unusual characteristic of this case.

Monascinol (Msol), an analog of monascin (MS) produced by , possesses potential anti-inflammatory properties. This study compares the effects of SWM-008 fermented red mold rice, which contains the functional components MS and Msol, on liver and kidney damage related to diabetic complications in rats. An animal model of liver and kidney injury was induced by an intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) at 65 mg/kg body weight combined with nicotinamide (NA) at 150 mg/kg body weight.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (oxidized form, NAD) serves as a co-substrate and co-enzyme in cells to execute its key roles in cell signalling pathways and energetic metabolism, arbitrating cell survival and death. It was discovered in 1906 by Arthur Harden and William John Young in yeast extract which could accelerate alcohol fermentation. NAD acts as an electron acceptor and cofactor throughout the processes of glycolysis, Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle (TCA), β oxidation, and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS).
