Pomegranate as a natural remedy for gastric ulcers prevention: a review of its gastroprotective mechanisms and pharmacological benefits.

Gastric ulcers (GUs) represent a common gastrointestinal disorder characterized by mucosal damage and inflammation, often precipitated by factors such as Helicobacter pylori infection and the consumption of COX inhibitors. This comprehensive review investigates the role of oxidative stress and inflammation in the pathogenesis of GUs and assesses the potential therapeutic effects of Punica granatum (pomegranate, Pg) supplementation. Utilizing a series of experimental models, including indomethacin, aspirin, and alcohol-induced ulcers, we demonstrate that Pg extracts possess significant gastroprotective properties.

"Cell dedifferentiation" versus "evolutionary reversal" theories of cancer: The direct contest of transcriptomic features.

Cell dedifferentiation is considered an important hallmark of cancer. The atavistic reversal to a unicellular-like (UC) state is a less widely accepted concept, so far not included in the conventional hallmarks. The activated expression of ontogenetically earlier and evolutionary earlier genes in cancers supports both theories because ontogenesis partially recapitulates phylogenesis during cell differentiation (the cellular biogenetic law).

Application of Anti-Motion Ultra-Fast Quantitative MRI in Neurological Disorder Imaging: Insights From Huntington's Disease.

Magnetic orientation of marsh warblers (Acrocephalus palustris) and spotted flycatchers (Muscicapa striata) after simulated crossing of the magnetic equator.

Every year, billions of birds migrate to optimize their foraging, shelter and breeding. They use an inclination compass, which, unlike the technical compass, distinguishes between the directions towards the magnetic equator from the magnetic pole based on magnetic inclination angles, which range from ±90 deg at the poles to 0 deg at the equator. During autumn migration, some species cross the magnetic equator, where field lines are horizontal, i.

[The effectiveness of wellness programs in correcting risk factors for atherosclerosis in a sanatorium].

Unlabelled: Atherosclerosis is the main cause of mortality and disability in the adult population. One of the reasons for the high mortality from atherosclerosis is the lack of effective measures to prevent cardiovascular complications that ensure timely detection and correction of risk factors for the development of atherosclerosis, primarily lipid metabolism disorders with high values of proatherogenic lipids. In the restorative correction of dyslipidemia, the most promising is the use of health programs based on therapeutic physical factors, the combined use of natural (mineral waters, kumiss, climate) with physical training, training in health schools, with their implementation in sanatorium-resort conditions.

Cooperative and non-cooperative additions involving a silicon atom and a redox-active ligand.

The silylene [(dpp-bian)Si:] (1), where dpp-bian is 1,2-bis[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino]acenaphthene, exhibits remarkable reactivity with a variety of substrates. It reacts with chloroform and water O-H and C-Cl bond activation to yield oxidative addition products 2 and 3, respectively. Reactions of 1 with dibenzylideneacetone and tolane involve exclusively the silicon atom and result in [4 + 1]- and [2 + 1]-cycloaddition products 4 and 6.
