Effects of <italic>Cistanche Deserticola</italic> on Behavior and Expression of GSK-3β in Hippocampus of Rat Model of Parkinson's Disease by Shasha YANG, Wei QIN, Shiya CHEN, Jing CAI

“…In the Western Blotting, the protein expression of GSK-3β, β-catenin and p-β-catenin in model group were significantly increased compared with normal group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01); compared with model group, the protein expression of GSK-3β was respectively decreased in middle and high dose group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01), the protein expression of β-catenin was respectively increased in low, middle and high dose group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01), and the protein expression of p-β-catenin in low, middle and high dose group was respectively decreased (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.01, <italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).Conclusion:<italic>Cistanche deserticola</italic> can improve the behavior disorder in Parkinson's disease, and its mechanism is probably related with inhibiting the activity of GSK-3β and expression of p-β-catenin, increasing the expression of β-catenin to start the Wnt signaling pathway and protect the PD neurons.…”

Cost-effectiveness analysis of pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy versus chemotherapy in untreated advanced pleural mesothelioma in the Chinese healthcare system by Wenwang Lang, Yulong He, Changchun Hou, Hua Li, Qinling Jiang, Liuyong Mei

“…Subgroup analyses showed ICERs for pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy versus chemotherapy of $33,917.61 and $99,536.73 in non-epithelioid and epithelioid patients, respectively. PSA indicated probabilities of cost-effectiveness for pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy at 0.55%, 69.41%, and 0.14% for the entire population and the non-epithelioid and epithelioid subgroups, respectively.ConclusionIn the Chinese healthcare system, the combination of pembrolizumab and chemotherapy did not prove to be more cost-effective than chemotherapy alone as an initial treatment for untreated advanced pleural mesothelioma, with the exception of patients who have non-epithelioid histology.…”
