Summary: This study evaluated the effects of different drying methods on the biological properties of berries from the Chilean murta shrub. The results showed that freeze-dried murta berries had the highest total phenolic content and antioxidant potential. Vacuum and infrared drying also exhibited good preservation of antioxidant potential. Freeze-drying and vacuum drying were most effective in terms of anti-inflammatory activity, while vacuum drying and infrared drying were best for preserving the anti-tumoral effect on cancer cells.

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: In this study, the influence of breed and feeding system on the milk profile of betaines and carnitines and the milk's capacity to counteract inflammatory endothelial cell damage was assessed. The results showed that Modicana milk had higher biomolecule content and antioxidant activity compared to Holstein milk. The study suggests that breed has a greater impact on the health-promoting profile of dairy cattle milk than the feeding system.

Summary: The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between phytochemical profiles and activities of Rhodiola crenulata (Rc) extracts. The study found that the 70% ethanol extracts exhibited better effects on senescence regulation and antioxidant activities. A total of 14 phytochemicals were identified in the extracts, and they might exhibit additive or synergistic effects. These findings provide a theoretical basis for the daily use of Rc.

Summary: Honey is a highly appreciated mixture of compounds produced by bees, with multiple uses and potential nutritional and healing properties. This article focuses on the biological properties of different types of honey from Chile, specifically their antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities. The review highlights the remarkable bioactive properties of Chilean honey, particularly its antimicrobial and antioxidant activities, with limited research on its anti-inflammatory effects. These properties are attributed to the presence of various bioactive components, such as phenolic compounds, hydrogen peroxide, enzymes, proteins, and carbohydrates. The biodiversity and environmental conditions of Chile contribute to the diverse bioactive compounds and biological properties found in Chilean honey. Further research is needed to explore the medicinal potential of these native honeys.

Summary: The study successfully introduced a mixed-EDM process with multiple additives (HAp and CNT), achieving improved material erosion rate (MER) and surface roughness (SR). The addition of CNT in the mineral oil resulted in a thin, uniform recast layer with high hydrophilicity and elemental composition analysis revealed a combination of oxides, carbides, and CNT reinforced Ca-P based oxides. This research presents a novel and effective method for processing biomedical devices made of 316L steel.

Summary: This study elucidated the physicochemical properties and in vivo toxicity of a copper-based herbometallic oxide nanodrug called Thamira parpam (TP). The TP synthesized using a traditional Siddha methodology exhibited nanoscale dimensions and a carbonaceous coating on its surface. In vivo safety testing in rat models showed that TP was non-toxic at a low dose and did not cause abnormalities in major organs and their functions.
