Objective: To explore the effect of acupoint application combined with virtual reality (VR) technology in relieving pain after circumcision in children.
Methods: Using a random number table, we divided 106 children undergoing circumcision into a control and an intervention group of an equal number, the former receiving routine nursing care, and the latter acupoint application combined with VR technology. We compared between the two groups the postoperative pain scores with the Changhai pain ruler, the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) scores, and the satisfaction of the patients and their families.
Results: Compared with the controls, the patients in the intervention group showed a significantly lower HAMA score (［2.94 ± 0.98］ vs ［1.06 ± 0.92］, P < 0.05) and postoperative pain score (［5.96 ± 1.24］ vs ［3.66 ± 1.18］, P < 0.05), but higher satisfaction in the patients and their families (86.79% vs 98.11%, P < 0.05).
Conclusions: Acupoint application combined with VR technology for children after circumcision has the advantages of effectively relieving the anxiety of the patients, distracting their attention, increasing the pain perception threshold, reducing the perception of pain, improving the satisfaction of the patients and their family members.

Therapeutic hurdles persist in the fight against lung cancer, although it is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Results are still not up to par, even with the best efforts of conventional medicine, thus new avenues of investigation are required. Examining how immunotherapy, precision medicine, and AI are being used to manage lung cancer, this review shows how these tools can change the game for patients and increase their chances of survival.

Aims: This study aimed to develop Imatinib Mesylate (IMT)-loaded Poly Lactic-co-Glycolic Acid (PLGA)-D-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS)- Polyethylene glycol (PEG) hybrid nanoparticles (CSLHNPs) with optimized physicochemical properties for targeted delivery to glioblastoma multiforme.
Background: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most destructive type of brain tumor with several complications. Currently, most treatments for drug delivery for this disease face challenges due to the poor blood-brain barrier (BBB) and lack of site-specific delivery.
Delineating CYP2C19-Mediated Interactions: Network Pharmacology Investigation of Ilaprazole and Clopidogrel versus Conventional Proton Pump Inhibitors.

Department of Pharmacy Practice, SRM College of Pharmacy, SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Kattankulathur, Chengalpattu District, Tamilnadu, 603203, India.
Background: Clopidogrel, an antiplatelet drug commonly used in cardiovascular disease, is metabolized by the liver mainly through CYP2C19. Concomitant use of Proton pump inhibitors along with clopidogrel may affect the potency of clopidogrel by CYP2C19 inhibition. However, a novel PPI, ilaprazole is known to differ in its pharmacokinetic features, given the potential differences between ilaprazole's interactions and their metabolism with clopidogrel.

Background: Morphine, a mu-opioid receptor (MOR) agonist commonly utilized in clinical settings alongside chemotherapy to manage chronic pain in cancer patients, has exhibited contradictory effects on cancer, displaying specificity toward certain cancer types and doses.
Objective: The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic assessment and comparison of the impacts of morphine on three distinct cancer models in a preclinical setting.
Methods: Viability and apoptosis assays were conducted on a panel of cancer cell lines following treatment with morphine, chemotherapy drugs alone, or their combination.
