Abstract

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has infected the human system resulting in Covid-19, and has spread rapidly worldwide. Therefore, a fast, simple, cost-effective, and accurate detecting tool is required. The standard diagnostic tool of the World Health Organization is the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). This method detects the presence of viral genetic material in the human body with accurate results. However, it has several limitations in terms of equipment, personnel, duration, and cost. Therefore, a fast, simple, and sensitive alternative detection, is required, one of which is the reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) that functions under isothermal conditions. This method is battery-driven, hence, easy to move closer to the patient. Conclusively, the RT-LAMP test for SARS CoV-2 diagnosis produces comparable sensitivity to a standard RT-PCR and is more suitable for resource-poor settings, such as rural areas of developing countries.

Abstract

This study investigates factors influencing adherence to antituberculosis treatment among pulmonary tuberculosis patients at Sendang Agung Health Center. Using a cross-sectional approach and purposive sampling, data were collected from 53 patients treated between January and March 2023. The study employed validated questionnaires and statistical analyses, including Chi-Square and logistic regression tests. The results showed that 33 patients (62.3%) were compliant with using antituberculosis drugs, while 20 patients (37.7%) were not compliant. Results indicate that factors such as age, gender, education, and employment status do not significantly affect treatment adherence. However, knowledge and treatment duration were found to be significant determinants, with knowledge being the most dominant factor (p = 0.004, OR = 16.029). The findings suggest that enhancing patient education and support systems is crucial to improving adherence and treatment outcomes. Further efforts are needed to increase awareness and ensure effective utilization of available healthcare services.

Abstract

Diabetic neuropathy, a painful complication of diabetes mellitus, may potentially be treated with compounds found in cocoa pods. This study investigates the interactions of various flavonoids (catechin, epicatechin, quercetin, luteolin, apigenin, naringenin, and procyanidin) contained in the cocoa pod to the Canonical Transient Receptor Potential (TRPC6) receptor. Molecular docking, facilitated by Autodock software, was employed to predict the binding affinities of these compounds to TRPC6. This involved preparing the molecular structures of the flavonoids and the TRPC6 protein for simulation. The simulation provided insights into the binding efficiencies and interaction energies between the flavonoids and TRPC6. The findings indicate that procyanidin and quercetin exhibit the highest binding energies, at -7.15 kcal/mol and -6.37 kcal/mol, respectively. Procyanidin interacts with the amino acid residues Ala508, Arg609, Arg758, Asn765, Asp530, Glu512, His446, and Met505, while quercetin binds to Arg758, Asp530, Glu512, and Glu524. These results highlight the potential of quercetin and procyanidin as candidates for the development of TRPC6-targeted treatments for diabetic neuropathy. This study lays the groundwork for the creation of new, effective, and safe diabetic neuropathy medications.

Abstract

Breast cancer remains one of the most common cancers worldwide, with VEGFR-2 (KDR) playing a key role in tumor angiogenesis. Inhibiting VEGFR-2 is a promising therapeutic strategy. Natural compounds are increasingly studied for their potential to inhibit VEGFR-2. This study aims to assess the binding affinity of 11 natural compounds (andrographolide, alpha-mangostin, pinostrobin, pinocembrin, ethyl-p-methoxycinnamate (EPMS), xanthorrhizol, galangin, gamma-mangostin, curcumin, cinnamaldehyde, and alashanoid B) to the VEGFR-2 protein through molecular docking and Lipinski's rule analysis, identifying promising candidates for breast cancer treatment. Molecular docking simulations were performed for 11 compounds and sunitinib as a control, with binding energies and interactions analyzed. The compounds were also evaluated for drug-likeness using Lipinski’s rule of five. Curcumin showed the highest binding affinity to VEGFR-2 with a binding energy of -9.9 kcal/mol, surpassing sunitinib (-9.4 kcal/mol). Key interactions were observed with active site residues Cys919 and Asp1046. All tested compounds met the criteria for oral bioavailability per Lipinski’s rules. Curcumin demonstrates potential as a VEGFR-2 inhibitor due to its favorable binding affinity and drug-like properties. Enhancing curcumin’s bioavailability is recommended for effective therapeutic application.

Abstract

This study explores the anticancer properties of ginger (Zingiber officinale) through comprehensive bibliometric analysis of literature published from 2015 to 2024. Using PRISMA methodology, 49 relevant articles were identified from PubMed and analyzed through Biblioshiny and VOSviewer software. The International Journal of Molecular Sciences emerged as the leading publication source. Network visualization identified three major research clusters: antioxidant mechanisms, cancer biology, and phytochemical applications. Triple-negative breast cancer and colorectal cancer represent the most extensively studied malignancies. Mechanistically, ginger compounds (particularly gingerols and shogaols) demonstrate anticancer effects through multiple pathways including apoptosis induction, cell cycle arrest, anti-metastatic activity, oxidative stress modulation, and angiogenesis inhibition. While in vitro and preclinical evidence is robust, clinical translation remains limited. This analysis provides a comprehensive overview of ginger's anticancer research landscape, highlighting established mechanisms, identifying knowledge gaps, and suggesting future directions. The findings support ginger's potential as a complementary therapeutic agent and source of lead compounds for anticancer drug development, while emphasizing the need for advanced clinical investigations.
