Introduction: Inflammation plays a crucial role in the body's defense mechanisms, but uncontrolled inflammation can lead to chronic and pathological conditions. This study aimed to identify natural compounds as potential replacements for the synthetic drug Zileuton, known for its side effects.
Method: Utilizing the MOE and Molegro modeling methods, several molecules were evaluated, and three compounds, namely 1-Isothiocyanatopent-4-en-2-ol, 7-Isothiocyanatohept-1-ene, and 5- (Isothiocyanatomethyl)-1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene, exhibited superior inhibitory properties. These compounds consistently demonstrated low energy values, indicating high inhibition potency. Notably, 5-(Isothiocyanatomethyl)-1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene emerged as the most promising candidate among all tested compounds.
Results: These findings provide valuable insights for the development of alternative anti-inflammatory agents. Further research is required to assess the efficacy and safety profiles of these compounds in clinical settings.
Conclusion: This study represents a significant advancement in the search for innovative therapeutic strategies to manage inflammation-related disorders.

Ionizing radiation on the skin has the potential to cause various sequelae affecting quality of life and even leading to death due to multi-system failure. The development of radiation dermatitis is attributed to oxidative damage to the skin's basal layer and alterations in immune response, leading to inflammation. Past studies have shown that [18F]F-2-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography ([18F]F-FDG PET/CT) can be used effectively for the detection of inflammatory activity, especially in conditions like hidradenitis suppurativa, psoriasis, and early atherosclerosis.

Globin X is a newly discovered member of the globin family, while its structure and function are not fully understood. In this study, we performed protein modelling studies using Alphafold3 and molecular dynamics simulations, which suggested that the protein adopts a typical globin fold, with the formation of a potential disulfide bond of Cys65 and Cys141. To elucidate the role of this unique disulfide in protein structure and stability, we constructed a double mutant of C65S/C141S by mutating the two cysteine residues to serine.

The impact of heteroresistance on tuberculosis (TB) treatment outcomes is unclear, as is the role of different rifampin and isoniazid exposures on developing resistance mutations. Hollow fiber system model of TB (HFS-TB) units were inoculated with drug-susceptible () and treated with isoniazid and rifampin exposure identified in a clinical trial as leading to treatment failure and acquired drug resistance. Systems were sampled for drug concentration measurements, estimation of total and drug-resistant , and small molecule overlapping reads (SMOR) analysis for the detection of heteroresistance.

Hepatitis B (Hep B) remains a critical public health issue globally, particularly in Tibet, where vaccination rates and influencing factors among college students are yet understudied. This study applies a cross-sectional design to investigate the Hep B vaccination rate among 1,126 college students in Tibet and utilizes the expanded theory of planned behavior (ETPB) to identify vaccination behavior intention (BI) and vaccination behavior (VB). Stratified cluster sampling across three universities was used to assess behavioral attitudes (BA), subjective norms (SN), perceived behavioral control (PBC), past vaccination history (PVH) and vaccination knowledge (VK), and used structural equation modeling (SEM) for model validation and multi-group comparison.
