Article Abstract

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.

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.
