Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy of microneedle fractional radiofrequency (MRF) in treating periorbital hyperpigmentation (POH). Results showed that MRF significantly improved skin lightness, elasticity, melanin content, skin density, and thickness, as well as reduced skin color change and wrinkles. Patient and physician assessments confirmed these outcomes.

Summary: The study shows that riclin can protect the skin from UVB-induced damage, with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Riclin increases collagen expression and inhibits oxidation and melanin synthesis. In vivo experiments on mice demonstrate that riclin effectively reduces UVB-induced skin damage and suppresses inflammation.

Summary: Grounding or earthing is a hidden secret for health and vitality, yet only a small part of the scientific community understands its importance. Once health professionals and others recognize its role in preventing inflammatory diseases, it can have a significant impact on public health. Previous data and testimonials provide evidence of the earth's healing power on the human body.

Summary: The ethanol extract of flaxseed was found to have significant antitumor, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. It exhibited potent in vitro antioxidant activity and inhibitory effects on different cell lines. In vivo studies showed that the extract reduced tumor growth and oxidative stress in mice. The phenolic content and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of the extract are believed to contribute to its antiproliferative activity.

Summary: This study evaluated the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-arthritic activities of Coronopus didymus. The extracts showed significant free radical scavenging activity and inhibited protein denaturation, as well as reducing inflammation and edema in arthritic rats. The extracts also had positive effects on blood parameters and oxidative stress biomarkers. These activities may be attributed to the presence of quercetin, ferulic acid, dihydromyricetin, apigenin, vitexin, and kaempferol in the extracts.

Summary: A series of L-serine amides of antioxidant acids were synthesized, with Trolox derivatives containing ibuprofen and ketoprofen showing the most potent inhibition of lipid peroxidation. These compounds also exhibited moderate inhibition of soybean lipoxygenase and significant decrease in lipidemic indices in Triton-induced hyperlipidemic rats, similar to the effects of simvastatin. The designed compounds may have potential therapeutic applications for inflammatory and degenerative conditions.

Summary: The study found that chickpea hull phenolic extracts (CHPE) can alleviate oxidative stress and inflammation by increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes and reducing the production of inflammatory markers. The results suggest that CHPE may have potential as a treatment for chronic inflammation.
