Objectives: To analyze the CT imaging features of extranodal natural killer/T (NK/T)-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTCL-NT) involving the gastrointestinal tract (GI), and to compare them with those of Crohn's disease (CD) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

Materials And Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from 17 patients diagnosed with GI ENKTCL-NT, 68 patients with CD, and 47 patients with DLBCL. The CT findings of ENKTCL-NT were analyzed and compared with those of CD and DLBCL.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common cancer worldwide and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) is an important target in the development of inhibitors for the treatment of liver cancer. So far, however, there are no effective drugs targeting VEGFR-2 to achieve complete treatment of liver cancer. In this study, we employed molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, molecular mechanics generalized Born surface area (MM-GBSA) method, quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) calculations and steered molecular dynamics simulations to discover the potential inhibitors from COCONUT database targeting VEGFR-2.

Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction (XZD) is widely used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of this study was to explore the pharmacological effects and molecular mechanisms of XZD in improving hyperlipidemia and to provide a theoretical framework for clinical application. In this study, the signaling pathways regulated by XZD in improving hyperlipidemia were predicted by network pharmacology.
