Candida albicans (C. albicans) is the most common cause of invasive Candida infections worldwide. The acquired resistance of C. albicans to fluconazole, a first-line antifungal drug, has been frequently reported, posing significant challenges to treatment. Combination therapy has emerged as an effective strategy to combat drug resistance. In this study, we synthesized a series of sinomenine derivatives and evaluated in vitro synergistic activity against azole-resistant C. albicans. The results demonstrated that compound 3ja exhibited a potent synergistic effect with fluconazole against azole-resistant C. albicans. Mechanism studies revealed that the combination of 3ja and FLC significantly induced reactive oxygen species accumulation, disrupted membrane integrity, altered membrane sterols, and promoted apoptosis in C. albicans.

The distribution of electrical potentials and current in exogenous electrostimulation has significant impacts on its effectiveness in promoting tissue repair. However, there is still a lack of a flexible, implantable power source capable of generating customizable patterned electric fields for in situ electrostimulation(electrical stimulation). Herein, this study reports a fuel cell patch (FCP) that can provide in situ electrostimulation and a hypoxic microenvironment to promote tissue repair synergistically.

Adequate protein consumption is essential for optimal physical fitness and enhancing athletic performance. This study explored the impact of BC99 on protein-supplemented male fatigued mice, examining aspects such as protein digestion, exercise endurance, fatigue-related biochemistry, oxidative stress, and gut microbiota alterations. Results indicate that the synergistic effect of probiotics and protein significantly boosts the activity of protein-digesting enzymes, enhances protein absorption, and reduces serum levels of urea nitrogen, lactate, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, malondialdehyde, and the inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β and interleukin-6 in skeletal muscle.

Non-heading Chinese cabbage (NHCC) is an important vegetable, and its leaves are harvested for consumption. Thus, the initiation and progression of leaf senescence in NHCC directly impact its yield and quality. In multiple plant species, NAC transcription factors are known to act as critical regulators of leaf senescence.
