Anti-Oxidative Effect of Pu-erh Tea in Animals Trails: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

This study adopted systematic literature review and meta-analysis methodology to explored anti-oxidative effect of pu-erh tea. Study authors have systemically searched seven databases up until 21 February 2020. In performing the literature search on the above-mentioned databases, the authors used keywords of pu-erh AND (superoxide dismutase OR glutathione peroxidase OR malondialdehyde).

Disulfiram and 6-Thioguanine synergistically inhibit the enzymatic activities of USP2 and USP21.

Disulfiram is a promising repurposed drug that, combining with radiation and chemotherapy, exhibits effective anticancer activities in several preclinical models. The cellular metabolites of disulfiram have been established, however, the intracellular targets of disulfiram remain largely unexplored. We have previously reported that disulfiram suppresses the coronaviral papain-like proteases through attacking their zinc-finger domains, suggesting an inhibitory function potentially on other proteases with similar catalytic structures.

Inhibitory effects of pu-erh tea on alpha glucosidase and alpha amylase: a systemic review.

Objective: Pu-erh tea was presumed to have anti-hyperglycemic effects via inhibition on alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase. However, no integerated literatures were published to substantiate such presumption.

Methods: Current study adopted systemic review method to validate inhibitory effects on alpha amylase and alpha-glucosidase.

Neurosurgical robotic arm drilling navigation system.

Background: The aim of this work was to develop a neurosurgical robotic arm drilling navigation system that provides assistance throughout the complete bone drilling process.

Methods: The system comprised neurosurgical robotic arm navigation combining robotic and surgical navigation, 3D medical imaging based surgical planning that could identify lesion location and plan the surgical path on 3D images, and automatic bone drilling control that would stop drilling when the bone was to be drilled-through. Three kinds of experiment were designed.
