The coexistence of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a rare and hard-to-diagnose multisystem autoimmune disorder. Allopathic treatment approaches often fall short in managing both conditions simultaneously, as specific medications targeting this dual manifestation are lacking. In such instances, herbal medicine can offer a potential solution through its holistic approach. () a rich source of bioactive compounds belonging to family. This study employs network pharmacology and molecular modelling to unveil the multi-target and multi-pathway mechanisms of as a complementary therapy. A total of 423 common targets were obtained, among which AKT1, TNF, SRC, EGFR, HIF1A, HSP9AA, BCL2, and STAT3 were identified as the key targets. Lastly, molecular modelling validated the strong binding affinity between 's compounds and the identified targets. In conclusion, these investigations provide new insight for further study of towards the management of SLE and IBD.

Alpha/beta values in pediatric medulloblastoma: implications for tailored approaches in radiation oncology.

Radiat Oncol

January 2025

Department of Radiotherapy and Radiooncology, Medical Faculty, Heinrich Heine University, Moorenstr. 5, 40225, Dusseldorf, Germany.

Background: Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant pediatric brain tumor, typically treated with normofractionated craniospinal irradiation (CSI) with an additional boost over about 6 weeks in children older than 3 years. This study investigates the sensitivity of pediatric medulloblastoma cell lines to different radiation fractionation schedules. While extensively studied in adult tumors, these ratios remain unknown in pediatric cases due to the rarity of the disease.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) play vital roles in various physiological processes, making them attractive drug discovery targets. Meanwhile, deep learning techniques have revolutionized drug discovery by facilitating efficient tools for expediting the identification and optimization of ligands. However, existing models for the GPCRs often focus on single-target or a small subset of GPCRs or employ binary classification, constraining their applicability for high throughput virtual screening.

Extracellular matrix stiffness regulates colorectal cancer progression via HSF4.

J Exp Clin Cancer Res

January 2025

Department of General Surgery, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan, 410008, China.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) has high incidence and mortality rates, with severe prognoses during invasion and metastasis stages. Despite advancements in diagnostic and therapeutic technologies, the impact of the tumour microenvironment, particularly extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness, on CRC progression and metastasis is not fully understood.

Methods: This study included 107 CRC patients.

Background: Lysinuric protein intolerance is a rare autosomal disorder caused by mutations in the Slc7a7 gene that lead to impaired transport of neutral and basic amino acids. The gold standard treatment for lysinuric protein intolerance involves a low-protein diet and citrulline supplementation. While this approach partially improves cationic amino acid plasma levels and alleviates some symptoms, long-term treatment is suggested to be detrimental and may lead to life-threatening complications characterized by a wide range of hematological and immunological abnormalities.

Menarche is an important period in a female's life; its time of onset may depend on various factors and could correlate with the development of diseases in adulthood. Our study aims to investigate the relationship between body mass index and age at onset of menarche; METHODS: We used a unique standardized national dataset on adolescent girls participating in the Italian Health Behaviour in School-aged Children Study. Two independent nationally representative survey datasets: one on 15-year-olds (n = 6505, year 2017/2018) and one on 11-year-olds (n = 6548, year 2013/2014) were analysed.
