Sargahydroquinoic acid (SHQA), a bioactive compound found in certain species, exhibits significant health benefits. This study optimized the extraction of SHQA from using response surface methodology (RSM) and evaluated its antioxidant effects through in vitro and in vivo assays. A Box-Behnken design (BBD) was effectively employed to investigate the effects of incubation temperature, time, and ethanol concentration on SHQA yield, achieving a high coefficient of determination (R = 0.961). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) validated the model's reliability ( = 13.86, = 0.005) and highlighted ethanol concentration as a highly significant factor ( < 0.001). Optimal extraction conditions were identified as 52.8 °C, 8.3 h, and 74.1% ethanol. The SHQA-maximized extract (SME) contained 67.8 ± 0.6 mg SHQA/g and 25.00 ± 1.01 mg phloroglucinol equivalent/g. SME exhibited antioxidant capacity of 26.45 ± 0.66 mg and 28.74 ± 2.30 mg vitamin C equivalent/g in ABTS and DPPH assays, respectively, and 0.29 ± 0.02 mM FeSO equivalent/g in the FRAP assay. Additionally, SME at 50 µg/mL and SHQA at 1 µg/mL inhibited reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in an HO-induced zebrafish model. This study presents the first optimization of SHQA extraction using RSM and demonstrates SHQA's ROS inhibition in a zebrafish model.

Importance: Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors are highly effective medications for several immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs). However, safety concerns have led to regulatory restrictions.
Objective: To compare the risk of adverse events with JAK inhibitors vs tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists in patients with IMIDs in head-to-head comparative effectiveness studies.

Drug absorption significantly influences pharmacokinetics. Accurately predicting human oral bioavailability (HOB) is essential for optimizing drug candidates and improving clinical success rates. The traditional method based on experiment is a common way to obtain HOB, but the experimental method is time-consuming and costly.

Background: The optimal number of examined lymph nodes (ELN) for accurate staging and prognosis for esophageal cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of ELN count on pathologic staging and survival outcomes and to develop a predictive model for lymph node positivity in this patient population.
Methods: Data were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and a multicenter cohort.

Background: Precise preoperative discrimination of invasive lung adenocarcinoma (IA) from preinvasive lesions (adenocarcinoma in situ [AIS]/minimally invasive adenocarcinoma [MIA]) and prediction of high-risk histopathological features are critical for optimizing resection strategies in early-stage lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD).
Methods: In this multicenter study, 813 LUAD patients (tumors ≤3 cm) formed the training cohort. A total of 1,709 radiomic features were extracted from the PET/CT images.
