One new citrinin monomer derivative (), and two new natural products α-pyrone analogues ( and ), were isolated from the sponge derived fungus sp. SCSIO 41302. Their structures were determined by extensive spectroscopic analysis, chiral-phase HPLC analysis, modified Mosher's method, ECD calculations, and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. Bioactivity screening showed that compounds and exhibited obvious inhibitory activities against pancreatic lipase and acetyl cholinesterase with IC values of 48.5 and 4.8 μM, respectively, which indicated that different chiral center between enantiomers ( and ) might result in different biological activities (IC value against PL for >100 μg/ml).

In this study, the total polyphenol content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and biological activity of yam polyphenols (including free phenolics, conjugated phenolics, and bound phenolics) were investigated during home cooking. Polyphenol components were preliminary detected in raw yam by HPLC, including 2, 4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, syringic acid, vanillic acid, 4-coumaric acid, and sinapic acid. TPC and TFC of soluble conjugated polyphenols were the main phenolic compounds in Ruichang yam.

The aim of this study was to elucidate the impact of porcine pancreatic enzymes (Creon pancrelipase) in comparison to microbial-derived alpha amylase (MD amylase) on the small intestine wall structure, mucosal glycogen accumulation, and enterocyte turnover. The impact of enzyme supplementation on the small intestine was explored in 18 pigs with surgically induced exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). Four healthy pigs served as the control group.

Rationale: The occurrence of refractory small cell lung cancer (rSCLC) with pancreatic metastasis is a relatively rare clinical condition, which is typically accompanied by a poor prognosis and rapid disease progression.
Patient Concerns: A 65-year-old male farmer from China was diagnosed with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) 8 months ago. Following 6 cycles of EP chemotherapy, the patient's tumor response showed partial relief.

Antarctic organisms are known for producing unique secondary metabolites, and this study specifically focuses on the less-explored metabolites of the moss Warnstorfia fontinaliopsis. To evaluate their potential bioactivity, we extracted secondary metabolites using four different solvents and identified significant lipase inhibitory activity in the methanol extract. Non-targeted metabolomic analysis using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) on this extract predicted the presence of 12 compounds, including several not previously reported in mosses.

Background And Aims: Enzyme insufficiency (EPI) is common in chronic pancreatitis (CP), pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), and after pancreatic resection. 40%-50% of CP patients and 70%-80% of PDAC patients develop EPI. 1/3rd of these patients are prescribed Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT), often at an inadequate dose, with evidence that this leads to increased morbidity and mortality.
