Preparation, structural characteristics and pharmacological activity of polysaccharides from Polygala tenuifolia: A review
Carbohydr Res. 2024 Apr 10;539:109117. doi: 10.1016/j.carres.2024.109117. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPolygala tenuifolia is a traditional Chinese medicine with a long history of application, with the efficacy of suppressing cough, calming asthma, tranquilizing the mind, and benefiting the intellect. It is classified as a top-quality medicine in Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica. Polysaccharide is an important active ingredient in Polygala tenuifolia, which consists of several monosaccharides, including Ara, Gal, Glc, and so on. In this review, the preparation methods, structural characteristics, and biological activi...

Effect of a low-carbohydrate diet on pain and quality of life in female patients with lipedema: a randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: Diet-induced weight loss in women with lipedema can improve QoL. An energy-restricted LCD seems to be superior to a standard control diet in reducing pain.PMID:38627016 | DOI:10.1002/oby.24026 (Source: Obesity)

Treatment patterns and survival outcomes in patients with non-metastatic early-onset pancreatic cancer
CONCLUSION: AT improves postoperative survival in localized patients. Surgery after NAT and RCT are the preferred therapeutic options for patients with locally advanced EOPC.PMID:38617739 | PMC:PMC11008379 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v30.i12.1739 (Source: World Journal of Gastroenterology : WJG)

Niche-specific microevolution of Candida glabrata (Nakaseomyces glabrata) during an infection
Fungal Genet Biol. 2024 Apr 13:103891. doi: 10.1016/j.fgb.2024.103891. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCandida glabrata (Nakaseomyces glabrata) is an emergent and opportunistic fungal pathogen that colonizes and persists in different niches within its human host. In this work, we studied five clinical isolates from one patient (P7), that have a clonal origin, and all of which come from blood cultures except one, P7-3, obtained from a urine culture. We found phenotypic variation such as sensitivity to high temperature, oxidative stress, susceptibility to two classes of antifungal agents, and cell wall porosity. Only isolate P...

Creation and validation of a NOVA scored picture set to evaluate ultra-processed foods
Appetite. 2024 Apr 13:107358. doi: 10.1016/j.appet.2024.107358. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThere has been a rapid shift in the modern food environment towards increased processing in foods consumed in the United States (US) and globally. The NOVA system (not an acronym) for classifying food on degree of processing currently has the most empirical support. Consumption of foods in the NOVA 4 category, ultra-processed foods (UPF), is a risk factor for a host of poor health outcomes including heart disease, stroke, and cancer. Despite these poor health outcomes, UPF make up 58% of calories consumed in the US. Methodologies ...
