Summary: This study investigates the association between dietary intakes of total flavonols and their constituents and the change in cognitive performance. The results suggest that higher intakes of total flavonols and certain flavonol constituents are associated with a slower decline in global cognition and multiple cognitive abilities.

Summary: Bisphenol A (BPA) promotes colon cancer by altering hormonal functions, while quercetin (Q) can inhibit cancer cells by regulating signaling pathways through hormone receptors. The study found that Q and its fermented extract (FEQ) exhibit antiproliferative effects in HT-29 cells exposed to BPA.

Summary: Natural products such as curcumin, quercetin, and resveratrol have antitumor effects and can affect cancer-related mechanisms, including DNA methylation. These compounds have the potential to be used as cancer treatments by targeting DNA methylation and modifying the expression of tumor suppressor genes.

Summary: A simple and environmentally friendly synthetic method for deoxygenation of graphene oxide (GO) using Quercetin as stabilizing and reducing agent is demonstrated in this study. The reduction of GO and its capping with oxidized Quercetin molecules were confirmed by various analytical techniques. The prepared reduced graphene oxide (RGO) showed non-toxic nature and potential for biomedical applications, such as lung cancer treatment.

Summary: The present study uses network pharmacology to construct the relationship network diagram of "traditional Chinese medicine - component - target - disease" for nightshade in colon cancer treatment. In vivo and in vitro experiments confirm the influence of quercetin, the core effective component of nightshade, on colon cancer. The study suggests that quercetin may have certain effects on colon cancer treatment by regulating the biological behavior of core targets related to cell apoptosis. The potential mechanism lies in the activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway inhibited by quercetin, thus promoting apoptosis of colon cancer cells.

Summary: This study investigated the association between dietary fatty acid patterns and oral cancer risk. The results showed general differences in fatty acid intake between patients with oral cancer and controls. A positive association was observed between the saturated fatty acid pattern and oral cancer risk.

Summary: The corticosteroid hormone aldosterone enhances K+ secretion in the colon and plays a critical role in maintaining K+ balance. Previous studies showed that aldosterone up-regulates basolateral NKCC1 specifically in the distal colon to support K+ secretion, but its effects on the proximal colon are unclear. Understanding these region-specific effects is important for managing gastrointestinal pathologies.

Summary: Plant-based diets are associated with a lower risk of colorectal cancer, but the risk may vary depending on the quality of the plant-based diet. This study investigated the association between different types of plant-based dietary patterns and colorectal cancer risk in the Chinese population. The results showed that higher adherence to a healthy plant-based diet was associated with a lower risk of colorectal cancer, while higher adherence to an unhealthy plant-based diet was associated with a higher risk of colorectal cancer.

Summary: The incidence of thyroid cancer is increasing globally, particularly in women. Genetic variants and environmental factors contribute to this risk, and a high polygenetic risk score increases the risk even further. Factors like high energy, seaweed, and alcohol intake interact with genetic risk to elevate thyroid cancer risk, highlighting the importance of personalized nutrition plans for prevention.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the association between food groups, dietary patterns, and breast cancer risk among the Asian population. The results showed that higher intake of fruits, vegetables, soy protein, and soy isoflavones significantly reduced the risk of breast cancer. Conversely, higher intake of alcohol was associated with an increased risk. High adherence to healthy dietary patterns was found to reduce breast cancer risk, while adherence to unhealthy dietary patterns increased the risk. The study highlights the importance of dietary patterns in relation to breast cancer risk in the Asian population.

Summary: The Mediterranean Cancer Preventive Diet Score (MCAP Score) quantifies adherence to a Mediterranean diet using absolute criteria, facilitating comparisons across studies. Counseling for a Mediterranean Diet improved the MCAP Score, which was correlated with serum carotenoids and omega-3 fatty acids, and associated with weight loss.
