Based on a review of the literature contemporary psychiatric practice of herbal medicine in the Chinese People's Republic is re-evaluated. In many articles the results lack methodological precision. In some most trustworthy publications it is stated that for some psychiatric conditions certain herbal drugs are effective and that by combined treatment of modern drugs with phytotherapy a greater effectiveness can be achieved and the time needed for restoration of health can be reduced and the frequency of side-effect is smaller. To confirm the conclusions on the importance of phytotherapy in psychiatry, according to the authors, more elaborate investigations in psychiatry are needed.

Opening the gate: Complexity and modularity of the nuclear pore scaffold and basket.
Curr Opin Cell Biol
February 2025
Université Paris Cité, CNRS, Institut Jacques Monod, F-75013 Paris, France. Electronic address:
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are giant molecular assemblies that form the gateway between the nucleus and the cytoplasm and accommodate the bidirectional transport of a large variety of cargoes. Recent years have seen tremendous advances in our understanding of their building principles and have in particular called attention to the flexibility and variability of NPC composition and structure. Here, we review these recent advances and discuss how the newest technologies push the boundaries of nuclear pore research forward, with a specific highlight on the NPC scaffold and a prominent pore appendage, the nuclear basket, whose architecture has long been elusive.

Purpose Of Review: Perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms are common and may significantly impact quality of life. Menopausal hormone therapy is the most effective treatment but may not be appropriate in all cases. Nonhormonal alternatives range from lifestyle changes and dietary supplements to medical interventions and prescription therapies.

Non-covalent interactions are present in numerous synthetic and biological systems, playing an essential role in vital life processes, such as the stabilization of proteins' structures or reversible binding in substrate-receptor complexes. Their study is relevant but faces challenges due to its inherent weak nature. In this context, molecular balances (MBs) are one of the most efficient physical organic chemistry tools to quantify non-covalent interactions, bringing beneficial knowledge regarding their nature and strength.

Department of Artificial Intelligence Convergence, Chonnam National University, Gwangju 61186, Jeollanam-do, Republic of Korea.
Nuclear medicine imaging (NMI) is essential for the diagnosis and sensing of various diseases; however, challenges persist regarding image quality and accessibility during NMI-based treatment. This paper reviews the use of deep learning methods for generating synthetic nuclear medicine images, aimed at improving the interpretability and utility of nuclear medicine protocols. We discuss advanced image generation algorithms designed to recover details from low-dose scans, uncover information hidden by specific radiopharmaceutical properties, and enhance the sensing of physiological processes.
