(4)-7-(4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenylhept-4-en-3-one (DPHB) derived from Hance has been reported to exert anti-inflammatory and anti-insulin resistance (IR) effects. We explored the molecular mechanism of DPHB ameliorating IR through network pharmacological prediction and analysis. The PI3K/AKT and TNF signaling pathways are the core pathways for DPHB to exert anti-IR, and the key proteins of this pathway were confirmed by molecular docking. In the IR-3T3-L1 adipocyte model, DPHB significantly promoted glucose uptake and the glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) translocation. In addition, DPHB significantly improved lipid accumulation, triglyceride content, and the mRNA expression of key adipokines [such as (PPARγ), - (C/EBPα), and (SREBP-1)]. DPHB inhibited the protein expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and phosphorylated nuclear factor-κB (NF-kB), as well as promoted the expression of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase B (AKT), phosphorylated PI3K, and phosphorylated AKT. More interestingly, validation of the PI3K inhibitor LY294002 revealed that these changes were dependent on the activation of PI3K. Our cumulative findings thereby validate the potential of DPHB to alleviate and treat IR and the related diseases by regulating the PI3K/AKT and TNF-α signaling pathways.

Article Synopsis
- The paper introduces a cross-scale simulation method to analyze the electrothermal performance of power MOSFETs, considering device-package-heatsink-board interactions.
- A co-simulation framework is created that iteratively connects power loss and chip temperature, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of multilevel electrothermal effects.
- Empirical equations are derived from these simulations, facilitating the prediction of drain current versus chip temperature, validating the method through experiments and comparisons with existing techniques.

Background: Artificial intelligence is currently being used to facilitate early disease detection, better understand disease progression, optimize medication/treatment dosages, and uncover promising novel treatments and potential outcomes.
Methods: Utilizing the Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to Relieve Depression (STAR*D) dataset, we built a machine learning model to predict depression remission rates using same clinical data as features for each of the first three antidepressant treatment steps in STAR*D. We only used early treatment data (baseline and first follow up) in each STAR*D step to temporally analyze predictive features of remission at the end of the step.
Risk factors of delayed hemorrhage after LigaSure hemorrhoidectomy.
BMC Surg
October 2022
Division of Colorectal Surgery, Department of Surgery, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Chang Gung University College of Medicine, 833, Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
Article Synopsis
- A study was done to see how often patients had problems after a special surgery for hemorrhoids using LigaSure devices, compared to an older method called Ferguson's.
- They found that 5% of the patients had delayed bleeding after surgery, and men were more likely to experience this issue.
- As the surgeon gained more experience over time, the chance of delayed bleeding went down, eventually becoming similar to the older surgery method.

The current research focuses on the treatment of Cr(III), Fe(III) and Cu(II) metal ions with aryl hydrazone ligand named (E)-4-(((diphenylmethylene)hydrazono)methyl)benzene-1,3-diol (DPHB) to afford four novel solid complexes with high yields. Different characterization approaches, including infrared, UV-visible, and NMR spectroscopies, elemental analyses, and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), revealed that all mononuclear crystalline metal chelates with good thermal stability had a six-coordination with octahedral geometry. Density Functional Theory (DFT) computations were used and provided a reasonable explanation for these metal chelates' electrical and structural features.
