A previously unpublished xanthone named securidacaxanthone D () and five known analogues: 1,7-dihydroxyxanthone (), 7-hydroxy-1,2-dimethoxy-xanthone (), 1,5-dihydroxy-6,7-dimethoxyxanthone (), 1,7-dihydroxy-3-methoxyxanthone (), 1,7-dihydroxy-4-methxyxanthone () were isolated from the ethyl acetate soluble fraction obtained from the liquid-liquid partition of the crude hydro-ethanolic extract of the roots of . Their structures were determined by analysis of 1D -(H and C), 2D-(COSY, HSQC and HMBC) NMR data in conjunction with mass spectrometry (TOF-ESI-MS) and by comparison with reported data. Free radical scavenging activity were evaluated using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) as a free radical. Crude extract, ethyl acetate and -butanol fractions as well as isolated compounds showed different degrees of free radical scavenging activity. Among the extract and fractions tested, the hydro-ethanolic extract was the most active with an IC value of 32 μg/mL. Among the compounds, compound was the most active with an IC value of 282 μg/mL.

Objectives: To balance the extended functional urinary voiding and morbidity outcomes amid Ileal W and Y-shaped contrasted to spherical ileocoecal (IC) orthotopic bladders subsequent prostate-sparing radical cystectomy (PRC) versus standard radical cystoprostatectomy (RC).
Material And Methods: Two hundred eight male bladder cancer patients were grouped into 98 RC followed by 43-W, 31-Y, and 23-IC in comparison to 110 PRC followed by 35-W, 37-Y, and 38-IC. The functional voiding outcomes were determined by detailed patients' interview and urodynamic studies (UDS).

Objective: To evaluate the role of Rescue BCG in the treatment of BCG-unresponsive nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), in order to inform clinical decision-making especially when access to alternative therapies is limited.
Methods: From an institutional database, patients who met the criteria of BCG-unresponsive NMIBC between 2002 and 2023 were identified and sorted into 2 cohorts: those who received additional BCG therapy immediately after BCG-unresponsive designation and those who received alternative treatments such as intravesical chemotherapy and radical cystectomy. Primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS).

Background: Hyperthermia (HT), while a cancer treatment approach, isn't always effective alone. Therefore, identifying hyperthermia enhancers is crucial. We demonstrated that Mito-TEMPO ([2-[(1-Hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-4-yl) amino]-2-oxoethyl]-triphenylphosphanium, MT) acts as a potent thermosensitizer, promoting cell death in human cervical cancer (HeLa) cells.

In this study, we evaluated the antibacterial activities of plant essential oils (EOs) from the Lamiaceae family against Agrobacterium tumefaciens to find new eco-friendly antimicrobials. Thymus vulgaris L. (thyme white) EO demonstrated the most potent fumigant antibacterial activity among these.
