Objectives: To explore the potential activity of (OA) against atopic dermatitis (AD).

Methods: Phytocompounds from OA were identified through chromatography analysis, then continued to target identification and functional annotation to explore the potential target of OA. Then, network pharmacology from annotated proteins determined protein targets for OA phytocompounds.

Background: Chronic total occlusion (CTO) is an angiographic picture of total occlusion without blood flow which is estimated to have lasted at least 3 months. This study attempted to provide an overview of the levels of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), soluble suppression tumorigenicity 2 (sST2), and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) as remodeling, inflammatory, and atherosclerotic markers, as well as changes in the angina severity in patients with CTO who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) compared to those without PCI.

Methods: This study is a preliminary report with quasi-experimental design study with a pre-test and post-test approach to compare PCI's effect in CTO patients towards changes in MMP-9, sST2, NT-pro-BNP levels, and changes in the angina severity.

The growth plate is cartilage tissue found at the end of long bones in children, responsible for longitudinal bone growth. Injuries to the growth plate cartilage often lead to unwanted bony repair, resulting in growth disturbances such as limb length discrepancy and angulation deformity in children. There is currently no clinical treatment that can fully repair an injured growth plate.

Article Synopsis
  • - A modeling study suggests Indonesia may have up to 20,000 cases of melioidosis annually, leading to around 10,000 deaths, though the actual situation remains unclear.
  • - Researchers reviewed 146 confirmed cases, mainly from Java, and found a significant misidentification issue; the mortality rate in recent cases was recorded at 43%.
  • - A survey indicated that over half of healthcare workers were unaware of melioidosis, highlighting the need for increased awareness, improved culture usage, and precise diagnosis to manage the disease effectively.

Aim: to investigate the effects of Vitamin D calcitriol/1,25(OH)2D3 on NETosis in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients with hypovitamin D.

Methods: neutrophlis of five SLE patients with hypovitamin D were divided into 4 groups, P0 (0 nM/control), P1 (1 nM), P2 (10 nM), and P3 (100 nM) as cultured samples. Phorbol Myristate Acetate (PMA) was used to stimulate NETs formation.
