Objective: To investigate the protective effect of total flavonoids of extract against acetaminophen (APAP) -induced acute liver injury (ALI) and its molecular mechanism.

Methods: The main chemical constituents of total flavonoids of were obtained through literature search, and their pharmacological mechanisms were predicted using bioinformatics analysis. In a mouse model of APAP-induced ALI, the protective effects of 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg total flavonoids of and 150 mg/kg bifidus were evaluated by observing changes in blood biochemistry and liver histopathology and detecting expressions of the key proteins in the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

Improving dynamic control of toehold-mediated strand displacement reactions through phosphorothioate modifications.

Nanoscale

December 2024

Department of Clinical Laboratory, Shanxi Bethune Hospital, Shanxi Academy of Medical Sciences, Third Hospital of Shanxi Medical University, Tongji Shanxi Hospital, Taiyuan, 030032, P. R. China.

The toehold-mediated strand displacement reaction plays a crucial role in the functionality of DNA nanodevices. However, the reaction's velocity is heavily reliant on the length of the toehold region. A shorter toehold can impede the speed and completeness of the reaction.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers expressed key MPXV proteins using bacteria and yeast to create nine potential MPXV subunit vaccine candidates combined with adjuvants for immunization.
  • Tests showed that these vaccine candidates elicited strong neutralizing antibody responses, particularly highlighting the A35-M1R fusion protein as a promising protective antigen for future vaccine development.

Objective: To investigate the protective effect of total saponins of (TSPJ) against CCl-induced acute liver injury (ALI) in rats and explore the underlying pharmacological mechanisms.

Methods: Male SD rat models of CCl-induced ALI were given intraperitoneal injections of distilled water, 100 mg/kg biphenyl bisabololol, or 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg TSPJ during modeling (=8). Liver functions (AST, ALT, TBil and ALP) of the rats were assessed and liver pathologies were observed with HE staining.

Pan-cancer analysis of kinesin family members with potential implications in prognosis and immunological role in human cancer.

Front Oncol

August 2023

Department of Nephrology, Center of Kidney and Urology, The Seventh Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, Shenzhen, China.

Background: Kinesin is a molecular motor for transporting "goods" within cells and plays a key role in many types of tumors. The multi-angle study of kinesin at the pan-cancer level is conducive to understanding its role in tumorigenesis and development and clinical treatment potential.

Methods: We evaluated the expression of KIF genes, performed differential analysis by using the R package limma, and explored the pan-cancer prognosis of KIF genes by univariate Cox regression analysis.

Magnesium-based materials in orthopaedics: material properties and animal models.

Biomater Transl

September 2021

Department of Orthopaedics, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, Hubei Province, China.

As a new generation of medical metal materials, degradable magnesium-based materials have excellent mechanical properties and osteogenic promoting ability, making them promising materials for the treatment of refractory bone diseases. Animal models can be used to understand and evaluate the performance of materials in complex physiological environments, providing relevant data for preclinical evaluation of implants and laying the foundation for subsequent clinical studies. To date, many researchers have studied the biocompatibility, degradability and osteogenesis of magnesium-based materials, but there is a lack of review regarding the effects of magnesium-based materials in vivo.
