  Treatment of diabetes mellitus (DM) using plant based drugs is in advance and getting much attention in recent years. Cassia auriculata L. is widely used in Indian folk medicine for the treatment of DM. Site-specific targeted plant drug delivery by metallic nanoparticles carriers is a new emerging procedure under research due to its enhanced bioavailability and reduced toxicity. This study was therefore aimed to biosynthesize a new silver nanoparticles of Cassia auriculata L. flower extract and to study its anti-diabetic efficiency in rats.
 
  The silver nanoparticles were biosynthesized using AgNO3 solution and characterized by spectroscopy, SEM and EDAX analyses. The acute toxicity of this nano-preparation (up to 2000 mg/kg b. wt) was analyzed in rats and the anti-diabetic efficiency (for 50 mg/kg.b.wt and 200 mg/kg.b.wt) was studied in Streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. The diabetic parameters such as; blood glucose, serum protein, liver glycogen, serum lipid profile, serum levels of creatinine, urea, ilver nanoparticles of Cassia auriculata L. flower extract implies that this nano-preparation may be exploited as an alternative biopharmaceutical agent for treating DM.
  Liver cancer is one of the most common diseases in the world. At present, the mechanism of autophagy genes in liver cancer is not very clear. Therefore, it is meaningful to study the role and prognostic value of autophagy genes in liver cancer.
 
  The purpose of this study is to conduct a bioinformatics analysis of autophagy genes related to primary liver cancer to establish a prognostic model of primary liver cancer based on autophagy genes.
 
  We identified autophagy genes related to the prognosis of liver cancer through bioinformatics methods.
 
  Through difference analysis, 31 differential autophagy genes were screened out and then analyzed by GO and KEGG analysis. At the same time, we built a PPI network. To optimize the evaluation of the prognosis of liver cancer patients, we integrated multiple autophagy genes to establish a prognostic model. By using univariate cox regression analysis, 15 autophagy genes related to prognosis were screened out. Then we included these 15 genes into the Least Absolute Shrechanism of liver cancer autophagy. At the same time, the certain gene pathways and protein pathways related to autophagy may provide some inspiration for the development of anticancer drugs.
 This study provided potential autophagy-related markers for liver cancer patients to predict their prognosis and revealed part of the molecular mechanism of liver cancer autophagy. At the same time, the certain gene pathways and protein pathways related to autophagy may provide some inspiration for the development of anticancer drugs.
  Intrathyroidal ectopic thymus (IET) can be misdiagnosed as thyroid nodules.
 
  To evaluate the sonoelastographic findings of IET in pediatric population.
 
  Twelve children who had been examined with ultrasound (US) and strain elastography between December 2012 and December 2019 were included in this retrospective study. The patients' demographics and ultrasonographic findings including the location, margin, shape, diameters, volume, structure, vascularity, and elastography values of the lesions were evaluated.
 
  Twelve lesions were detected in 12 asymptomatic patients (3 females and 9 males) with a mean age of 4.67 ± 2.27 years. The most common location of the IET was in posterior part and middle third of thyroid, and the most common appearance on US was a well-defined, ovoid-shaped, and predominantly hypoechoic solid lesion with punctate/linear branching hyperechogenities. The lesions were mostly hypovascular on Doppler US. The mean strain ratio on elastography was found to be 1.10 ± 0.04. In the follow-up of 7 patients with available information, there was not any significant change in size or appearance of IET on US.
 
  IET should be considered in the differential diagnosis of the lesions within the thyroid. The first step to accurately diagnose an IET is to consider it in the differential diagnosis. In addition to US, strain elastography findings can be used to distinguish IETs from papillary thyroid cancers which can have similar US appearance, and help avoid unnecessary biopsies.

Fever is usually a prominent feature. Cough is described frequently. Less common are sore throat, headache, productive cough, nausea, and diarrhea.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/pd0166285.html  Some studies estimate that children made up about 2% of the affected population. Nearly 1.2% of infected children need hospital treatment and some children require mechanical ventilation. The immune system in children is in its development stage, and the immune response to pathogens is different from adults.
  The incidence of cognitive decline has been proposed to rise exponentially in coming years. Therapies targeting molecular pathways involved in enhancement of memory and energy regulation could be a major breakthrough in prevention or management of dementia in susceptible populations.
 
  This study investigated the effects of aqueous extracts of Cola nitida (AECONS) and Garcinia kola (AEGAK) on glutamate level and Na+/K+-ATPase activity in the hippocampus and hypothalamus of male Wistar rats.
 
  Adult male Wistar rats (170-200) were randomly allotted into groups (n=5/group); control (distilled water p.o.), AECONS1 (200 mg/kg), AECONS2 (400 mg/kg), AEGAK1 (200 mg/kg), AEGAK2 (400 mg/kg), AECONS1+AEGAK1 and AECONS2+AEGAK2. The extract was prepared and the administration was done daily for 6 weeks.
 
  Administration of AECONS or AEGAK increased plasma, hippocampal and hypothalamic glutamate, Na+/K+-ATPase activity, NO, SOD except hippocampal glutamate in AECONS1/AEGAK1, Na+/K+-ATPase activity and SOD in AEGAK1, hypothalamic glutamate and SOD in AECONS1 when compared with control.
