Furthermore, meaningful biological pathways were enriched in association with each of the experimental factors during EA stimulation. Our analysis showed the robustness of WGCNA and revealed important genes within specific modules and pathways which might be activated in response to EA analgesia. The findings may help to clarify the underlying mechanisms of EA and provide references for future verification of this study.

  Is known for its memory-enhancing properties, and is of great interest in treating neurodegenerative disease.
 
  This study aimed to evaluate 
  against glutamate toxicity, and identify whether 
  reduces mitochondrial and ER stress, as well as to measure 
  on the life span and aging of 
  We hypothesized that 
  would prevent cellular oxidative stress, prevent mitochondrial/ER stress, and increase the life span while reducing signs of aging in 
  
 
  Glutamate toxicity was measured using viable cell staining assays and the MTT assay. ROS and mitochondrial stress were assessed by H
  DCFDA and Rodamine123 staining, with fluorescence/confocal microscopy. 
  median and maximum life span were measured, in response to 
  treatment, along with lipofuscin imaging to measure the health of the 
  population.
 
  hexane extract (but not ethanol extract) prevented the toxicity of 5 mM glutamate in HT-22 cells. We found that the mechanism involves the reduction of ROS production and the prevention of mitochondrial and ER stress. Furthermore, we showed that 
  could increase the median and maximal lifespan of wild type 
  maintain a younger appearing phenotype in the aged 
  
 
  In conclusion, 
  prevents mitochondrial, and oxidative stress in the cultured cells. Furthermore, it can prolong the healthy lifespan of 
  , indicating that 
  the potential for therapeutic and preventative use in neurodegenerative disease.
 In conclusion, B.monnieri prevents mitochondrial, and oxidative stress in the cultured cells. Furthermore, it can prolong the healthy lifespan of C.elegans, indicating that B.monnieri the potential for therapeutic and preventative use in neurodegenerative disease.
  Due to a lack of evidence from large-scale epidemiological studies by far on this issue, whether there is a link between 
  exposure and breast cancer risk remained inconclusive.
 
  We conducted a population-based case-control study using Taiwan's National Health Insurance claim data, in which all breast cancer patients newly diagnosed between 2005 and 2008 were employed as the case group (
   = 34,262) and a random sample of non-breast cancer individuals selected from 1-million beneficiaries registered in 2005 was served as the control group. For fair comparability, we employed the time density sampling method to select controls who were matched to case on date of breast cancer diagnosis and age with a case/control ratio of 1/3 (
   = 102,786).
 
  We found that the use of 
  presents a weakly but significantly protective effect on breast cancer (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 0.95, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.93-0.98), with a significant dose-gradient relationship. We also noted a stronger association with breast cancer with initial use of 
  at a longer time before breast cancer diagnosis, and found that the seemingly protective effect of 
  was more obvious among women who had initial use at 47-55 years (aOR 0.93, 95% CI 0.88-0.98).
 
  This population-based case-control study revealed that exposure to 
  showed a weakly but significantly protective effect on breast cancer risk, which could ease people's concern over the potential carcinogenic effect from exposure to

 This population-based case-control study revealed that exposure to Angelica sinensis showed a weakly but significantly protective effect on breast cancer risk, which could ease people's concern over the potential carcinogenic effect from exposure to Angelica sinensis.
  Herbal medicines are used to treat a broad number of maladies. However, the pharmacological profile of most remedies is poorly understood. We investigated the effect of herbal remedies from kampo, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and other phytotherapies on human two-pore domain potassium channels (KCNK channels; TREK-1, TASK-1 and TASK-3) as well as the human TRPV1 channel. KCNK channels are responsible for the background potassium current of excitable cells, thus essential for the maintenance of the resting membrane potential. Hence, modulators of KCNK channels are of medical significance, e.g. for the treatment of sleep disorders and pain. The transient receptor potential channel TRPV1 is a pain detector for noxious heat. Agonists of this receptor are still used for the treatment of pain in ectopic applications.
 
  We evaluated the effect of 158 herbal remedies on these channels in a heterologous expression system (
  oocytes) using the two-electrode voltage-clamp technique with the aim of increasing therbal remedies as modulators of human K2P and TRPV1 channels and gives new insights into the pharmacological profile of these herbal remedies.In recent times, many scientists have given great attention to nutraceuticals (complementary medicine) as it widely used for promoting health status. In particular for the prevention and treatment of various neurological diseases or disorders without or less adverse effects. The current mini-review was intended to compile all popular (major) nutraceuticals against various neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) including Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), Huntington's disease (HD) with special reference to clinical trials. Preliminary reviews indicated that nutraceuticals like curcumin, resveratrol, Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), Coenzyme Q10, ω-3 FA (DHA/EPA/ALA), showed better neuroprotective activity against various NDDs in human setting (clinical trial). Hence this contribution will focus only on those popular nutraceuticals with proposed brief mechanisms (antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, mitochondrial homeostasis, autophagy regulation, promote neurogenesis) and its recommendation. This mini-review would aid common people to choose better nutraceuticals to combat various NDDs along with standard neuroprotective agents and modified lifestyle pattern.
