It has been recognized that Citrus reticulata and Pinellia ternata have a good therapeutic effect on NSCLC. However, the potential mechanism of C. reticulata and P. ternata in the treatment of NSCLC based on network pharmacology analysis is not clear. The "Drug-Component-Target-Disease" network was constructed by Cytoscape, and the protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed by STRING. Our study indicated that 18 active ingredients of C. reticulata and P. Ternata were screened from the TCMSP database, and 56 target genes of C. reticulata and P. Ternata for the treatment of NSCLC were identified, and we constructed the "Drug-Component-Target-Disease" network. In this study, we screened 56 PPI core genes to establish a PPI network. We concluded that the network pharmacology mechanism of the effect of C. reticulata and P. Ternata on NSCLC may be closely related to the protein expressed by TP53, ESR1, FOS, NCOA3 and MAPK8, and these may play the therapeutic roles by regulating the IL-17 signaling pathway, antigen processing and presentation, microRNAs in cancer and endocrine resistance.

Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels control synaptic neurotransmission via an allosteric mechanism, whereby agonist binding induces global protein conformational changes that open an ion-conducting pore. For the proton-activated bacterial () ligand-gated ion channel (GLIC), high-resolution structures are available in multiple conformational states. We used a library of atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to study conformational changes and to perform dynamic network analysis to elucidate the communication pathways underlying the gating process.

Importance: Youth living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are increasingly choosing automated insulin delivery (AID) systems to manage their blood glucose. Few systematic reviews meta-analyzing results from randomized clinical trials (RCTs) are available to guide decision-making.
Objective: To study the association of prolonged AID system use in an outpatient setting with measures of glucose management and quality of life in youth with T1D.

The emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) Escherichia coli in poultry farming is a growing global public health concern, particularly in Bangladesh, where the use of antibiotics remains largely unregulated. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and AMR patterns of E. coli isolated from broiler chickens in Sylhet district of Bangladesh and to investigate the network of coexisting resistance traits among the isolates.

Mitochondria continually undergo fission to maintain their network and health. Nascent fission sites are marked by the ER, which facilitates actin polymerization to drive calcium flux into the mitochondrion and constrict the inner mitochondrial membrane. Septins are a major eukaryotic cytoskeleton component that forms filaments that can both directly and indirectly modulate other cytoskeleton components, including actin.

Purpose: To assess the pharmacodynamic effects and therapeutic mechanisms of modified Fuzi decoction (MFZD) in osteoarthritis (OA), particularly OA-related inflammation.
Methods: The main components of MFZD were identified using Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). An OA model was established in Sprague-Dawley rats via intra-articular injection of monoiodoacetate (MIA) to evaluate the anti-OA efficacy of MFZD via gavage.
