Dihydroquercetin (DHQ), also known as taxifolin, is a naturally occurring flavonoid compound that serves as an active pharmaceutical ingredient. It is commercially available in the form of dietary supplements. As the reduced form of quercetin, DHQ contains five phenolic hydroxyl groups. This compound is capable of chelating transition metal ions, thereby effectively scavenging free radicals and detoxifying harmful substances Read More

Background Overdose involving opioids is the black heart of the addiction crisis. “Pre-addiction,” as an encouraging concept by NIDA and NIAAA, seems best captured with the construct of dopamine dysregulation. Referring to the abundant publications on “Reward Deficiency Syndrome” (RDS), Genetic Addiction Risk Score (GARS) test, RDSQ29, and KB220, Pre-addiction can be referred to as “reward dysregulation” as a su Read More

Pancreatic cancer is an exceptionally aggressive form of cancer with a poor prognosis, primarily due to several factors, one of which is the significant development of immune resistance. Despite new medical perceptions of the interaction between the immune system and tumour, experts have continually explored the molecular mechanisms of immune resistance in pancreatic cancer over the years but have not ye Read More

ObjectiveThe purpose of the present research was to assess the protective role of coffee in thioacetamide-induced nephrotoxicity.MethodsThe experimental period consisted of 18 weeks, divided into two phases. Four experimental groups were designed, each consisting of six rats. Group I was considered an untreated control group. Groups II and III were intraperitoneally injected with thioacetamide at a dose of 200 mg/kg Read More

Background Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD) is a major cause of End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) and lacks effective treatments. Tangmaikang Granules (TMK), a multi-herb traditional Chinese medicine formulation, have shown potential in managing DKD. However, the precise active components, molecular mechanisms, and therapeutic advantages of TMK remain unclear. Objective This study tests the hypothesis that Read More

One of the deadliest and most challenging tumors in the body is Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM). The Most aggressive kinds of brain tumors pose multiple challenges in their treatment due to several barriers (BBB and BCSF). Conventional treatments show poor efficacy in the treatment owing to poor penetrability through the blood-brain barrier and extreme toxicity in the brain. Moreover, the prognosis and diagnosis of GBM ar Read More

Ultrasound is an indispensable technology in the biomedical field. With the continuous integration and development of ultrasound medical technology, its potential application value in disease diagnosis and treatment has become increasingly prominent. As the technical core, novel multifunctional ultrasound theranostic agents have been the main focus of research. Here, we summarized various types of multifunctio Read More

Background Antibiofilm agents serve as an essential tool in the fight against antibiotic resistance, and natural products provide a promising source for potential drug leads. Objective This study investigates the activity of twenty Bangladeshi medicinal plants against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms and predicts the interactions of selected phytochemicals from five of the best performing plants with Read More

Objective The aim of this study was to develop a clinical application model for the rational use of caffeine. Background Caffeine is related to the incidence of neuro immune gastrointestinal diseases. Coffee consumption needs to be optimized in order to reduce the incidence rate. Purpose By using KEEG analysis to explore potential molecular signaling pathways involved in the progression of neurological immune gastrointestin Read More
