An Attempt to Estimate the Noises in Homeopathic Pathogenetic Trials by Employing the Jaccard Similarity Index and Noise Index
CONCLUSION: The Jaccard similarity index and the Noise index might be considered an additional approach for analyzing the symptoms of the placebo group as a comparator, resulting in better noise segregation in homeopathic pathogenetic trials.PMID:34959246 | DOI:10.1055/s-0041-1735983 (Source: Homeopathy)

Resurrecting Golgi proteins to grasp Golgi ribbon formation and self-association under stress
Int J Biol Macromol. 2021 Nov 30:S0141-8130(21)02578-2. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.11.173. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe Golgi complex is an essential organelle of the eukaryotic exocytic pathway. A subfamily of Golgi matrix proteins, called GRASPs, is central in stress-induced unconventional secretion, Golgi dynamics during mitosis/apoptosis, and Golgi ribbon formation. The Golgi ribbon is vertebrate-specific and correlates with the appearance of two GRASP paralogues and two Golgins (GM130/Golgin45), which form specific GRASP-Golgin pairs. The molecular details of their appearance only in Metazoans are unknown. More...

Prostatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Controlled for Tumor Grade, Stage, and Margin Status Does Not Independently Influence the Likelihood of Biochemical Recurrence in Localized Prostate Cancer After Radical Prostatectomy
CONCLUSIONS.—: Advanced locoregional stage, higher tumor grade, and positive surgical margin status rather than the mere presence of PDA are more predictive of worse BCR-free survival outcomes following radical prostatectomy in men with a component of PDA.PMID:34739539 | DOI:10.5858/arpa.2021-0048-OA (Source: Archives of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine)

Myristoylation and its effects on the human Golgi Reassembly and Stacking Protein 55
Biophys Chem. 2021 Sep 24;279:106690. doi: 10.1016/j.bpc.2021.106690. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGRASP55 is a myristoylated protein localized in the medial/trans-Golgi faces and involved in the Golgi structure maintenance and the regulation of unconventional secretion pathways. It is believed that GRASP55 achieves its main functionalities in the Golgi organization by acting as a tethering factor. When bound to the lipid bilayer, its orientation relative to the membrane surface is restricted to determine its proper trans-oligomerization. Despite the paramount role of myristoylation in GRASP function, the impact of such p...

Acute oral toxicity, antinociceptive and antimicrobial activities of kava dried extracts and synthetic kavain
Nat Prod Res. 2021 Sep 7:1-6. doi: 10.1080/14786419.2021.1973459. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPiper methysticum G. Forst, popularly known as kava, is a traditional medicinal plant widely used for the treatment of anxiety and insomnia. The aim of this study was to investigate new therapeutic applications of this plant. Nociceptive response induced by heat (hot-plate) was used as pain model. Susceptibility of different strains to kava ethanolic dried extracts was evaluated by broth microdilution method. Acute oral toxicity was performed according to Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) guideline. Ad...
