San Leng powder extract has been used as medicinal compound for the prevention and treatment of cancers. The antitumor activity of SLPE was determined by treating BALB/C mice harboring a human gastric cancer xenograft with SPLE for 17 days. Mice were also treated with fluorouracil (5-Fu, 25 mg/kg) or a combination of SLPE and 5-Fu. Our results indicate that the inhibition of tumor growth by SLPE might be due to a block in the cell cycle and the induction of apoptosis. These results suggest that SLPE might be useful in the treatment of gastric cancer.

Optimal sleep plays a vital role in promoting healthy aging and enhancing longevity. This study proposes a Sleep Chart to assess the relationship between sleep duration and 23 biological aging clocks across 17 organ systems or tissues and 3 omics data types (imaging, proteomics, and metabolomics). First, a systemic, U-shaped pattern shows that both short (<6 hours) and long (>8 hours) sleep duration are linked to elevated biological age gaps (BAGs) across 9 brain and body systems and 3 omics types, with optimal sleep time varying by organ and sex ([6.

Purpose: Following initial stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), risk factors for high-burden intracranial progression (ICP) necessitating whole brain radiation remain poorly characterized. We hypothesize that specific clinical parameters at initial SRS are associated with high-burden ICP-defined as either ≥5 brain metastases (BMs) (ICP5) or ≥11 BMs (ICP11).
Materials And Methods: Across 2 institutions, we retrospectively identified all patients completing an initial SRS course from January 2015 to December 2020.

Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are critical players during type 2 inflammation present in most forms of asthma. ILC2s are tissue-resident cells that produce cytokines IL-5 and IL-13 critical to eosinophilic airway inflammation, mucus production, remodeling, and hyperresponsiveness. Though each ILC subset (ILC1s, ILC2s, ILC3s) is identified by specific transcription factors, cell surface receptors and cytokine profiles, functional plasticity between ILC subtypes occurs in various contexts.

Study Objectives: This study aimed to investigate differences in rest-activity rhythms (RAR), key circadian rhythm markers, across race/ethnicity and sex in a diverse community-based cohort of older adults.
Methods: We examined RAR (amplitude [strength of activity], mesor [level of activity], acrophase [time of peak activity], and pseudo-F [robustness of activity]) derived from the extended cosinor model based on ≥4 24-hour periods of wrist actigraphy among 856 participants (≥50 years) in the Dormir Study. We conducted linear and multinomial logistic regression models adjusted for socioeconomic status, health conditions, and sleep-related factors.
