Summary: This study extracted the essential oil and main components of Angelica sinensis and evaluated their antifungal activities. The compound 3-butylidenephthalide (3-BPH) showed the best antifungal activity against Fusarium graminearum. Mechanistic studies revealed that 3-BPH induced the generation of endogenous ROS, causing lipid peroxidation of the cell membrane and inhibiting the biosynthesis of ergosterol, leading to cell membrane damage and fungicidal activity. The study also showed that 3-BPH can reduce deoxynivalenol production.

Summary: This study investigated the protective effect of water extract of Angelica sinensis root on PCOS rats and the mechanism of action. The results showed that the extract improved estrous cycle disorder and ovarian tissue lesions, and alleviated hormone disorders, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia. RNA sequencing and 16S rDNA sequencing revealed that the extract regulated the expressions of multiple genes and the abundance of gut microbiota. Clarifying the efficacy and mechanism will guide the clinical use of the extract.

Summary: In this research, a new advanced mechanism for predicting species distribution based on fuzzy mathematics and Bayesian network model (FBM) was explored. It effectively reduced data error and improved prediction results, especially for medicinal plant Angelica sinensis. The sensitivity analysis of FBM helped understand the impact of environmental factors on different levels of species habitat suitability, highlighting the importance of temperature in determining suitable habitats for A. sinensis.

Summary: The study investigates the interaction between Angelica sinensis (DG) and Rehmannia glutinosa (SDH) and their potential neuroprotective effects against oxidative stress. It is found that DG-SDH (3:2) formulation exhibits the highest content of active components and antioxidant activity, and it can protect nerve cells from oxidative stress-induced injury and apoptosis. These findings suggest that DG-SDH (3:2) may serve as a novel therapy for neurodegenerative diseases.

Summary: The interaction between plant-microorganism in the rhizosphere is crucial for the accumulation of phthalides in Angelica sinensis. Specific bacteria strains such as Bacillus were identified to potentially influence the phthalides accumulation. Bacillus was found to promote the accumulation of butylidenephthalide while inhibiting the accumulation of ligustilide.

Summary: This study discusses the hotspots and future trends of autophagy in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Through visual analysis and literature research, it was found that research on autophagy in TCM is increasing. The research focuses on the role played by TCM in malignant tumors, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease through autophagy, and the regulation of autophagy signaling pathways. Future research will focus on the therapeutic effect of TCM on chemotherapy-resistant tumor cells through the autophagy pathway, the role of TCM in mediating mitophagy and activating autophagy function, and the therapeutic effect of TCM components on diseases through autophagy mechanisms.

Summary: Through a systematic review and meta-analysis of 37 cohort studies, it was found that an increased consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) per 250 mL/day was associated with a higher risk of breast, colorectal, biliary tract, and prostate cancer. Increased consumption of artificially sweetened beverages (ASBs) per 250 mL/day was associated with a higher risk of leukemia. Increased consumption of 100% fruit juice per 250 mL/day was associated with a higher risk of overall cancer, melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and thyroid cancer. There were linear dose-response associations between SSBs consumption and breast and kidney cancer, and between ASBs and fruit juices consumption and pancreatic cancer.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of head-of-bed elevation on patients with acquired brain injury (ABI). The results showed that elevating the head of the bed by 30 degrees can significantly reduce intracranial pressure (ICP), but did not have statistical differences on cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) and disability at 90 days. Therefore, head-of-bed elevation of 30 degrees may be an effective noninvasive nursing practice for the prognosis and rehabilitation of ABI patients.

Summary: This study conducted an umbrella review to summarize the evidence of associations between Pilates and multiple health outcomes, and evaluated the strength and validity of these associations. It found that Pilates can reduce body mass index and body fat percentage, relieve pain and disability, and improve sleep quality and balance. However, the certainty of the evidence was mostly low, and further high quality randomized controlled trials are needed to support these promising findings.

Summary: In this article, six novel heterocyclic Ir(III) complexes were designed and calculated using DFT and TD-DFT. The bands of the lowest-lying absorptions and lowest energy emissions, as well as the spectral properties, frontier molecular orbitals, and spin-orbital coupling values, were studied. These complexes exhibit low efficiency roll-off properties, which is significant for the development of OLEDs.

Summary: This study reviewed the effectiveness of intraoperative peritoneal lavage (IOPL) with saline in patients with intra-abdominal infections (IAIs). The findings suggest that IOPL with saline does not significantly reduce the risk of mortality, intra-abdominal abscess, incisional surgical site infection, postoperative complication, reoperation, and readmission when compared to non-IOPL. Therefore, routine use of IOPL with saline in patients with IAIs is not supported.

Summary: In this study, a Zn2+-loaded polydopamine (PDA/Zn2+) coating was prepared on an alkali-heat-treated magnesium alloy surface inspired by mussel adhesion protein. The coating showed excellent wettability and selective promotion of albumin adsorption. Furthermore, the corrosion resistance, hemocompatibility, and endothelialization of the modified magnesium alloys were significantly improved with the increase of Zn2+ content in the coating.
