Optimisation of Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction of Total Phenolics and Flavonoids Content from <i>Centella asiatica</i> by Vimolpa Hiranpradith, Nantawan Therdthai, Aussama Soontrunnarudrungsri, Oumaporn Rungsuriyawiboon

“…Based on RSM, the optimal conditions—75% ethanol concentration, 87.5 W ultrasonic power, 30 min extraction time, and 20 mL solvent volume—yielded TPC and TFC values of 52.29 ± 1.65 mg/g and 43.71 ± 1.92 mg/g, closely aligning with model predictions at 95% confidence. Additionally, the optimal UAE condition provided asiaticoside of 37.56 ± 4.25 mg/g and madecassoside of 16.91 ± 1.28 mg/g. …”

Relationship of Serum IL-12 to Inflammation, Hematoma Volume, and Prognosis in Patients With Intracerebral Hemorrhage by Yazhao Zhang, Yanan Tian, Jianhui Wei, Yi Xiang

“…Levels of IL-12 in ICH patients with early neurological deterioration (median: 82.9 versus 65.8, P<0.001) or with poor prognosis (median: 79.0 versus 65.3, P<0.001) were all significantly higher than those in other ICH patients. In addition, serum IL-12 levels could be used to differentiate ICH patients at risk for early neurological deterioration with an AUC of 0.788 (95% CI: 0.717–0.858) or ICH patients at risk for suffering from an unfavorable outcome with an AUC of 0.787 (95% CI: 0.722–0.851). …”

Research on the Formation Characteristics of Fog and Frost on Optical Windows of Unsealed Equipment Compartments in Aircrafts by Chun Shen, Yuanyuan Liang, Bo Wei, Chengchun Zhang, Tian Zhao

“…In this approach, the formation and dissipation of fogging and frosting layers is directly determined by the saturation of the water vapor surface, and it does not depend on any empirical coefficients. Additionally, Buck’s formula is used to determine the saturation vapor partial pressure, which is applicable for a relatively wide temperature range (−50 °C to 10 °C). …”

Genetic Analysis of Cytokine Promoters in Nonhuman Primates: Implications for Th1/Th2 Profile Characteristics and SIV Disease Pathogenesis by Pavel Bostik, Melanie Watkins, Francois Villinger, Aftab A. Ansari

“…Sequence analysis of promoter fragments of IL-4, IL-10, IL-12 p40, IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha from the two monkey species showed varying degree of homology ranging from high degree of homology detected for IFN-gamma promoter (>99%) to relatively high degree of polymorphism detected for TNF-alpha promoter (94% homology). In addition, several variable regions within the promoters of IL-12 p40, IL-10 and TNF-alpha in the two species contain polymorphisms in sequences that constitute binding sites of known transcription factors (TF). …”
