A study was made of duodenobiopsies from patients with duodenal ulcer, 62 of whom took part in the elimination of the effects of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant accident, 33 have been resident in the territories affected by radioactive contamination, and 36 were a group of nosological control. In the ChNPP accident victims, the inflammatory process in chronic duodenitis tended to be more pronounced and active, with the atrophic changes in the mucous membrane being more commonly seen. Incorporation of radionuclides and external irradiation in a dose exceeding 25 sGy causes most profound disturbances in regeneration of epithelium entailing metaplasia and dysplasia of gastric epithelium in duodenum, which facts heighten the risk for neoplasmogenesis.

Aim And Objective: Magnoliae Flos (Chinese name: Xin-Yi) and Xanthii Fructus (Chinese name: Cang-Er-Zi) are Chinese herbal medicines and have been used to treat allergic rhinitis (AR). However, the therapeutic effect, active ingredients, and probable processes of a compound of Magnoliae Flos and Xanthii Fructus in the form of essential oils (CMFXFEO) in treating AR have not been reported. This study aims to determine the efficacy of the CMFXFEO on ovalbumin (OVA)-induced AR in a rat model and to use network pharmacology and molecular docking to reveal the hub genes, biological functions, and signaling pathways of CMFXFEO against AR.
