Iron supplementation post-blood donation in Vietnam: Impact on hemoglobin, red cell indices, and iron reserves by Viet Pham Tuan, Son Dao Anh, Phong Hoang Van, Tuan Anh Bui Sy

“…Our findings revealed moderate, statistically significant positive correlations between elemental iron administration and changes in platelet count (PLT), hematocrit (HCT), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) (r = 0.753, p <0.001; r = 0.887, p <0.001; and r = 0.703, p <0.001, respectively). Additionally, weak but significant correlations were observed between elemental iron administration and red blood cell count (RBC), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), red cell distribution width coefficient of variation (RDWC), and red cell distribution width standard deviation (RDWS) (r = 0.260, p = 0.002; r = 0.302, p = 0.005; r = 0.160, p = 0.010; r = 0.120, p = 0.020; and r = 0.400, p <0.001, respectively). …”

Diversity and functions of fungal VOCs with special reference to the multiple bioactivities of the mushroom alcohol by Guohua Yin, Geromy G. Moore, Joan Wennstrom Bennett

“…When Drosophila was cultivated in an atmosphere shared with VOC mixtures released from growing cultures of several medically important fungi, including Aspergillus fumigatus, toxicity was observed. Additionally, we propose that components of the genetic immune system of D. melanogaster are engaged in the toxicity of fungal VOCs mainly via the elicitation of the Toll pathway. …”

The Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Formononetin, an Active Constituent of <i>Pueraria montana</i> Var. <i>Lobata</i>, via Modulation of Macrophage Autophagy and Polarization by Linyi Xu, Shuo Zhou, Jing Li, Wenbo Yu, Wenyi Gao, Haoming Luo, Xiaoxue Fang

“…The results of an in vitro anti-inflammatory activity screening assay showed that compounds <b>1</b>, <b>4</b>, <b>6</b>, <b>8</b>, and <b>15</b> were able to significantly reduce the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-1β in LPS-induced RAW264.7 macrophages, with the most obvious effect produced by compound <b>6</b> (formononetin), while formononetin was able to significantly reduce the number of macrophages at the site of inflammation in transgenic zebrafish. In addition, network pharmacological analysis revealed that the anti-inflammatory activity of formononetin is closely related to autophagy and polarization targets such as <i>TNF</i>, <i>EGFR</i>, <i>PTGS2</i>, and <i>ESR1</i>. …”
