Mapping Molecular Networks within Clitoria ternatea Linn. against LPS-Induced Neuroinflammation in Microglial Cells, with Molecular Docking and In Vivo Toxicity Assessment in Zebrafish

Nurul Farah Adni Mat Zian, Puspanjali Swain, Siti Munirah Mohd Faudzi, Norzalina Zakaria, Wan Norhamidah Wan Ibrahim, Noraini Abu Bakar, Khozirah Shaari, Johnson Stanslas, Tae-Ik Choi, Cheol-Hee Kim

Summary: In this study, the ethyl acetate fraction of butterfly pea flower was analyzed and found to have neuroprotective and anti-neuroinflammatory properties. The metabolome analysis identified flavonol 3-O-glycosides, hydrocinnamic acids, and primary metabolites as potential bioactive compounds. Molecular docking studies suggested that the fraction targets iNOS and decreases nitric oxide levels. In vivo toxicity tests in zebrafish models showed no harmful effects on development, blood vessel formation, and apoptosis. These preliminary findings provide scientific support for the anti-neuroinflammatory and neuroprotective effects of butterfly pea.

Summary: This study describes the adverse events following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in cancer patients/survivors and their psychological distress. The results show that anxiety and depression scores significantly decreased after vaccination. Most participants experienced mild-to-moderate systemic and local adverse events, with pain at the injection site, tiredness, and headache being the most common symptoms. The study also found a positive correlation between the severity of adverse events and anxiety and depressive symptoms.

Safe and effective treatment of venous Thromboembolism associated with Cancer: focus on direct Oral Anticoagulants in Asian patients

Lai Heng Lee, Pongwut Danchaivijitr, Noppacharn Uaprasert, Harinder Gill, Dennis Lee Sacdalan, Gwo Fuang Ho, Rajiv Parakh, Paresh Pai, Jen-Kuang Lee, Nannette Rey, Alexander T. Cohen

Summary: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have shown comparable efficacy and safety outcomes in Asian patients with cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) compared to other races. Apixaban, edoxaban, or rivaroxaban can be considered as reasonable alternatives to low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) for anticoagulation in Asian patients with CAT.

Cancer-related costs, the resulting financial impact and coping strategies among cancer survivors living in a setting with a pluralistic health system: a qualitative study

Noorulain Fnu, Wai-Chee Kuan, Yek-Ching Kong, Ros Suzanna Bustamam, Li-Ping Wong, ShriDevi Subramaniam, Gwo-Fuang Ho, Hafizah Zaharah, Cheng-Har Yip, Nirmala Bhoo-Pathy

Summary: Limited evidence exists on the financial experiences of cancer survivors in Malaysia. This study explored the out-of-pocket costs, financial impact, and coping strategies of cancer survivors in Malaysia's pluralistic health system. The study found that cancer therapies, supportive care, complementary therapies, non-medical costs, and loss of household income were major themes related to cancer costs. Coping mechanisms included changing treatment decisions, continuing work despite illness, and seeking financial assistance from third parties.
