Longan flower water extract promotes sleep in mice via the serotonin–melatonin axis

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Longan (Dimocarpus longan) flower is an underutilized botanical byproduct rich in polyphenols with reported neuroprotective actions, yet its role in sleep regulation remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the sleep‐promoting effects of longan flower water extract (LFWE) and its underlying neurochemical mechanisms in vivo ...

Muscle Ultrasound Echo Intensity Detects Insulin Resistance Before Changes in HbA1c or Fasting Glucose, Independent of BMI

open access: yesJournal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives To quantify the association between skeletal muscle echo intensity (MEI), measured by ultrasound, and clinical markers of insulin resistance and glycemic control, and evaluate MEI's diagnostic accuracy in identifying insulin resistance. Methods In this cross‐sectional study, 20 adults with obesity (mean body mass index [BMI] 34.4 ± 2.6 kg/m2,

Long‐Term Outcomes of Radiofrequency Ablation for Benign Thyroid Nodules of Different Sizes: Implications of Regrowth and New Growth

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Radiofrequency ablation is an effective treatment for benign thyroid nodules. Since initial nodule volume may impact the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation, this study evaluated its long‐term outcomes across varying nodule sizes, focusing on regrowth, new growth, and clinical management implications.

Oxymatrine Inhibits Epithelial‐Mesenchymal Transition to Alleviate Airway Remodeling in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease by Suppressing the TGF‐β1/Smad Pathway

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explored the therapeutic efficacy of oxymatrine (OMT, C15H24N2O2) in a murine model of cigarette smoke (CS)‐induced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and elucidated its underlying mechanisms. A COPD model was established in mice through prolonged exposure to CS, followed by intraperitoneal administration of OMT (50 mg/kg)
