Article Abstract

Puerariae Radix (PR) serves as food and medicinal plant for thousands of years with explicit efficacy for heart diseases, while biological target specifically binding-oriented screening of the active components in PR remains a preliminary stage. Cell membrane chromatography (CMC) is newly developed approach where interactions between active components and certain biological targets can be effectively studied, Human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) membrane, with its abundant receptors such as β and AT, is most eligible for constructing CMC. In this study, an HUVEC/CMC-LC-MS system was developed for screening active components in PR, 11 compounds were screened out and four of them were identified. Besides puerarin, the rest identified are daidzin, pueroside D and 3'-hydroxypuerarin. The study provides more reference for CMC applications and PR exploitation.

Language learning and use relies on domain-specific, domain-general cognitive and sensory-motor functions. Using fMRI during story listening and behavioral tests, we investigated brain-behavior associations between linguistic and non-linguistic measures in individuals with varied multilingual experience and reading skills, including typical reading participants (TRs) and dyslexic readers (DRs). Partial Least Square Correlation revealed a main component linking cognitive, linguistic, and phonological measures to amodal/associative brain areas.

Anaerobic bacteria cause a wide range of infections, varying from mild to severe, whether localized, implant-associated, or invasive, often leading to high morbidity and mortality. These infections are challenging to manage due to antimicrobial resistance against common antibiotics such as carbapenems and nitroimidazoles. The empirical use of antibiotics has contributed to the emergence of resistant organisms, making the identification and development of new antibiotics increasingly difficult.

Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) enables non-invasive modulation of brain activity, holding promise for cognitive research and clinical applications. However, it remains unclear how the spiking activity of cortical neurons is modulated by specific electric field (E-field) distributions. Here, we use a multi-scale computational framework that integrates an anatomically accurate head model with morphologically realistic neuron models to simulate the responses of layer 5 pyramidal cells (L5 PCs) to the E-fields generated by conventional M1-SO tACS.

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability globally, with survivors at high risk of recurrent stroke, cardiovascular events, and post-stroke dementia. Statins, while widely used for their lipid-lowering effects, also possess pleiotropic properties, including anti-inflammatory, endothelial-stabilizing, and neuroprotective actions, which may offer added benefit in AIS management. This article synthesizes emerging evidence on statins' dual mechanisms of action and evaluates their role in reducing recurrence, improving survival, and mitigating cognitive decline.

Cannabis use is common among US youth who become involved in the juvenile legal system (JLS), yet substance use treatment rates remain low, particularly among youth diverted away from formal JLS involvement. Diverted youth encounter multiple barriers to receiving services in the community that could be addressed via digital approaches offered by the JLS. This multiphase work details development of the TECH (Teen Empowerment through Computerized Health) app, a tailored digital adjunct to usual JLS services.
