In Ayurveda, single or multiple herbs are used as medication for various ailments. Depression is often manifesting with various symptoms at the behavioral, psychological and physiological levels. Therefore, the investigation for therapeutic alternative is important. Oxidative stress has shown important biochemical aspects in the depression. This study evaluated effect of natural antioxidant on antidepressant activity of polyherbal formulation on the performance of male mice. Mice were given orally polyherbal formulation without antioxidant and with antioxidant daily for 7 d and then subjected to forced swim test and tail suspension test. After 1 w treatment, both polyherbal formulation significantly reduced immobility time in forced swim test and tail suspension test compared with vehicle treated control group. The immobility time in tail suspension test of polyherbal formulation without antioxidant and with antioxidant was found to be 151.17±4.46 s and 116.33±8.84 s respectively. The immobility time in tail suspension test of polyherbal formulation without antioxidant and with antioxidant was found to be 137.17±5.93 s, 113.50±5.40 s respectively. These results indicate that the antidepressant when given along with antioxidant in mice it gives significant antidepressant effect. The experimental results suggest that the intake of antioxidant may help in reducing the symptoms of depression, via supplementation of antioxidant.

Capsaicin and dietary fiber are effective natural food ingredients to control the obesity and metabolic diseases. The aim of the present study was to investigate the improved anti-obesity effects by adding capsaicin to a high-fiber diet. Sprague–Dawley rats were fed with high fiber diet, and different doses of capsaicin. Plasma parameters, gut microbiota, bile acid and short-chain fatty acids were analyzed to detect the improved effects and possible mechanisms. The results showed that the addition of capsaicin further decreased the fasting blood glucose and insulin, and increased beta-muricholic acid, deoxycholic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid, and 3 beta-ursodeoxycholic acid when compared to only high fiber diet. Administration of 0.05 g/kg capsaicin showed the highest of tauro-alpha-muricholic acid sodium salt and tauro-beta-muricholic acid sodium salt and 0.1 g/kg capsaicin resulted in the highest of lithocholic acid, cholic acid and hyodeoxycholic acid. Capsaicin increased the abundance of microorganisms including Akkermansia, Allobaculum et al. and increased the short-chain fatty acids, especially acetic acid and butyric acid. Results from our study indicated that the addition of capsaicin have better effects to reduce the weight, insulin and fasting blood glucose, and the possibly mechanism can be due to the changes in bile acid composition, microbial abundance and shortchain fatty acids.

Increasing numbers of non-human immunodeficiency virus-infected individuals with non-Hodgkin's B cell lymphoma treated with rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone have been diagnosed with Pneumocystis pneumonia. Pneumocystis pneumonia is a serious infection with a high mortality rate and rapid progression. In these patients, the incidence of Pneumocystis pneumonia varied from 1.4 % to 13 %, according to a comprehensive literature review. The major clinical symptoms were dry cough, fever, tightness in the chest, progressive dyspnea and hypoxemia. The standard method of diagnosis is Pneumocystis detection in broncho alveolar lavage fluid and high-resolution computed tomography can be detected in diffuse interstitial infiltration of both lungs. Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole is the main treatment for Pneumocystis pneumonia and most studies have shown that preventive use of trimethoprim/ sulfamethoxazole can help reduce the incidence of Pneumocystis pneumonia. In order to improve the accuracy of diagnosis and the prompt initiation of therapy for treatment and prevention to improve outcomes in these patients, a deeper knowledge of the relationship between rituximab use and the incidence of Pneumocystis pneumonia and the characteristics of Pneumocystis pneumonia in non-human immunodeficiency virusinfected patients with lymphoma is required.

This study aimed to detect associations of bile acid profile with white matter hyperintensity and quantify the risk of cerebral small vessel disease with high level of bile acid among cognitively normal individuals. All data were obtained from the patients with Alzheimer’s disease neuroimaging initiative with a 10 y follow-up. Multivariate linear regressions were performed with variable selection using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator method and the linear mixed model was used to analyze longitudinal relationship between non-zero coefficient variables and white matter hyperintensity volume. Four predictors (age, deoxycholic acid, glucose, total intracranial volume) were identified by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression analysis and multivariate linear regressions. Age (p value<0.001, mean difference, 1.03 cm 3 [95 % interval: 1.02, 1.04]) and deoxycholic acid (p value<0.05, mean difference, 1.05 cm 3 [95 % confidence interval: 1.00, 1.10]) were significantly associated with white matter hyperintensity. When divided into two groups by the median deoxycholic acid level (1.38 µM), participants with higher deoxycholic acid levels had a higher white matter hyperintensity volume at the 4 th y than those with lower deoxycholic acid levels (mean difference, 0.1 points [95 % confidence interval: -0.17, -0.03]; p<0.05). We found that increased deoxycholic acid levels may lead to the progression of white matter hyperintensity, which suggest that higher deoxycholic acid burden may play a possible role in the pathogenesis of cerebral small vessel disease in cognitively normal older adults. Besides, the study indicates a possible role for inflammation in the pathogenesis of cerebral small vessel disease.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the Chinese herbal ointment Qingluo San in preventing phlebitis in patients with peripheral venous catheters. We conducted a single-center randomized controlled trial, in which 127 eligible patients were assigned randomly to one of two groups; the experimental group or the control group. The degrees of pain intensity and phlebitis were measured at baseline, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h. Demographic information (age, gender, body mass index) and phlebitis sites, catheter dwell time, hemoglobin and white blood cells were obtained from all patients. Compared with the control group, the experimental group showed significantly lower incidence of phlebitis and pain intensity at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h after intervention. However, there were no significant differences about the demographic information (age, gender, body mass index) and phlebitis sites, catheter dwell time, hemoglobin and white blood cells between these two groups. In patients with peripheral venous catheters, external treatment with Qingluo San was an effective method for decreasing the incidence of phlebitis.

Cancers are the uncontrolled growth of cells or tumors, and it is one of the leading causes of death all over the world. Currently, available synthetic drugs such as cisplatin, doxorubicin and fluorouracil are reported to have notable side effects in living tissues (skin irritations, dry and cracked skin, and mouth sores). So researchers are scrutinizing for alternative medications to overcome these side effects. Plants are one of the vital sources of alternative medicines with less toxicity and may overcome these side-effects of synthetic drugs. The study evaluated cytotoxicity and antioxidant potential on methanolic and aqueous extract of Pittosporum dasycaulon leaves. In the present study of cytotoxicity, the selected extracts were screened against two cancer cell lines (human liver cancer cells and Lymph cancer cell-Dalton's lymphoma ascites ascites). Two normal cells, intestinal epithelial-6, and Rat spleen were used to test cytotoxicity by using the trypan blue exclusion method and 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. The antiradical activity was also evaluated with its half maximal inhibitory concentration. The content of total phenolic, flavonoid and saponins was also estimated. The present study displayed leaves methanolic extract found to have a significant rate of cell death against cancer cell lines (Dalton's lymphoma ascites and human liver cancer cells) with lethal concentration 50 values ranging from 8.21±0.3 to 55.65±0.11 µg/ml. However, the same extract had very less cytotoxicity even in higher doses against non-cancerous intestinal cell lines (intestinal epithelial-6) and rat spleen cell lines ranging from 389.50±0.6 to 1800.00±0.1 μg/ml. The quantitative analysis of leaf methanolic extract showed a high level of saponins and phenolic compounds. Therefore, leaves of Pittosporum dasycaulon Miq are a promising candidate for natural antioxidant as well as anticancer components. Hence, further extensive study urges to evaluate the mechanism as well as to investigate of individual components responsible for cytotoxicity and antiradical potential.

To investigate the effect of formononetin on phosphatase and tensin homology deleted on chromosome ten/protein kinase B signaling pathway and angiogenesis of transplanted tumor in nude mice with breast cancer cells. Nude mice with breast cancer cell transplanted tumors were established and randomly divided into control group, low (0.1 mg/g) and medium (0.2 mg/g) doses of formononetin, high (0.4 mg/g) and taxol (10 µg/g) groups, after grouping treatment, the transplanted tumor volumes of nude mice in each group were measured; terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling staining was used to detect the apoptosis of transplanted tumor cells; the angiogenesis (proportion of cluster of differentiation 31 positive cells) of transplanted tumors was detected by immunohistochemical staining; serum vascular endothelial growth factor levels in nude mice were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; the expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor and phosphatase and tensin homology deleted on chromosome ten/protein kinase B pathway related proteins in transplanted tumors were detected by Western blot assay. Compared to the control group, the volumes of transplanted tumors, the proportion of cluster of differentiation 31 positive cells, serum vascular endothelial growth factor levels, vascular endothelial growth factor protein expression, and phosphorylated-protein kinase B/protein kinase B of nude mice were decreased, while the proportion of apoptotic cells and phosphatase and tensin homology deleted on chromosome ten protein expression were increased in a dose-dependent manner (p<0.05) in low, medium and high doses of formononetin or taxol groups; however, there were no differences in all indexes between taxol group and high dose group of formononetin (p>0.05). Formononetin up-regulates phosphatase and tensin homology deleted on chromosome ten expression, decreases protein kinase B phosphorylation and inhibits transplanted tumor growth and angiogenesis of transplanted tumor in nude mice with breast cancer cells
