Crude triterpenoid saponins from Ilex latifolia (Da Ye Dong Qing) ameliorate lipid accumulation by inhibiting SREBP expression via activation of AMPK in a non-alcoholic fatty liver disease model

BACKGROUND Ilex latifolia Thunb. (Da Ye Dong Qing) is used for weight loss and for its antidiabetic effects. This study aims to investigate the beneficial effects and potential mechanisms of action of crude triterpenoid saponins (CTS) from I. latifolia in a mouse model of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). METHODS Male C57BL/6 mice (n = 50), were arbitraril...

We performed a logistic regression analysis to evaluate the predictive value of ultrasonongraphy-detectable features of cervical lymph nodes in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The goal of this analysis was to determine whether certain ultrasound features were useful for accurate differential diagnosis of cervical lymph nodes metastasis with underlying nasopharyngeal carcinoma. In this i...

Profile of Xinnian Dong.

A pioneer in the field of molecular plant pathology, Xinnian Dong has elucidated multiple plant immune mechanisms over the past three decades. Her research has advanced understanding of the processes by which an entire plant may become resistant to a pathogen when only one part of it is infected. Dong and her colleagues also determined that daily cycles affect plant immune responses, and that p...
