Eucalyptus tereticornis Sm. (Eu) is a plant species used in traditional medicine to treat diabetes mellitus. Eu leaf extracts have been shown to regulate immuno-metabolic activities that are associated with obesity and insulin resistance. OBE100 and OBE104 are two natural Eu extracts that are rich in pentacyclic triterpenes. The major compounds identified in OBE100 are ursolic acid (UA), oleanolic acid (OA), and ursolic acid lactone (UAL), and the major compounds identified in OBE104 are UA and OA.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of two extracts from Eu leaves with different triterpene composition in a nutritional animal model of prediabetes.

A mouse model of diet-induced obesity was used to analyze the effects of the OBE100 and OBE104 treatments on metabolic markers and gene expression in liver and visceral adipose tissue.

Treating the prediabetic mouse model with OBE100 and OBE104 increased glucose tolerance. However, only the Eu extract that contained three triterpenes reduced mouse body weight, hepatic and adipose fat content, and plasma lipid levels. OBE100 treatment also led to decreased hepatic mRNA levels of PPARA, CPT1A, and SERBP1. In visceral adipose tissue, OBE100 treatment reduced expression of PPARA and ACACA and increased UCP1 expression.

These results suggest that developing a new multitargeting bioactive compound from the natural extract from Eu may help combat obesity and diabetes. Treatment with OBE100 had better effects than OBE104 in a diet-induced obesity mouse model, suggesting that the OBE100 extract, which contains three triterpenes, may be beneficial in combating obesity.

Xuebijing (XBJ) injection is a Chinese medicine containing extracts from Carthamus tinctorius L. (Carthami Flos, hong hua, Asteraceae), Paeonia lactiflora Pall. (Paeoniae radix rubra, chi shao, Ranunculaceae), Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort. (Chuanxiong Rhizoma, chuan xiong, Umbelliferae), Salvia miltiorrhiza Bge. (Salviae miltiorrhizae Radix Et Rhizoma, dan shen, Labiatae) and Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels (Angelicae sinensis Radix, dang gui, Umbelliferae). It has been approved for the treatment of sepsis in China since 2004 and has been widely used as an add-on treatment for sepsis or septic shock with few side effects.

The aim of the present review was to analyse up-to-date information related to the treatment of sepsis with XBJ, including the bioactive constituents, clinical studies and potential mechanisms, and to discuss possible scientific gaps, to provide a reliable reference for future studies.

Scientific resources concentrating on treating sepsis with XBJ were searched through PubMed, the Chinese studies concerning the pharmacokinetics, interactions with antibiotics, real-world efficacy and safety, pharmacological mechanisms of the bioactive components and large-scale clinical trials should be conducted in the future.
With respect to the multiple therapeutic mechanisms contributing to both the early and late stages of sepsis, the multiple effective constituents detected and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) performed to prove its efficacy, XBJ is a promising therapy for the treatment of sepsis. However, although XBJ has shown some efficacy for the treatment of sepsis, there are currently some scientific gaps. Indoximod More studies concerning the pharmacokinetics, interactions with antibiotics, real-world efficacy and safety, pharmacological mechanisms of the bioactive components and large-scale clinical trials should be conducted in the future.Test anxiety is associated with impaired attentional control, and spontaneous electroencephalography (EEG) theta/beta power ratio (TBR) may reflect the cortical-subcortical interactions involved in attentional control. The present study investigated how test anxiety influences spontaneous EEG TBR. Individuals undertook a 10-minute Raven's intelligence test. Spontaneous EEG data were recorded before and after the test and subsequently analyzed. TAS score showed a significant positive correlation with parietal EEG TBR before the test. Individuals with high test anxiety exhibited a significantly larger parietal EEG TBR than did individuals with low test anxiety, both before and after the test. The findings suggest that parietal spontaneous EEG TBR is related to test anxiety and can distinguish between individuals with high and low test anxiety.The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of wearing virtual reality head-mounted goggles (VR) on body sway in young adults. We run two experiments, in which we compared the body sway while standing during the conditions of 1) wearing and non-wearing VR with eyes-opened (experiment #1), 2) wearing and no-wearing VR with eyes-closed (experiment #2), and 3) wearing VR with eyes-opened when the scene was turned on and off (experiment #2). Forty-four (experiment #1) and fifteen (experiment #2) young adults were instructed to remain as still as possible on a force plate for 60-s and performed three trials in each quiet standing condition. The center of pressure (CoP) displacement, mean velocity, root mean square (RMS), area and median frequency of sway were calculated in both experiments. In the experiment #1, wearing VR condition with eyes-opened largely increased the AP and ML CoP displacement, AP mean velocity, AP and ML RMS, and area (p  less then  0.05) compared to non-wearing VR with eyes-opened. In the experiment #2, no differences were found for any conditions (eyes-closed and eyes-opened with turned on and off VR scene). In conclusion, wearing VR head-mounted goggles increased body sway of young adults during standing postural task, when the individuals were with eyes-opened. However, the effects of wearing VR head-mounted goggles on body sway disappeared when the individuals were with eyes-closed or the google scene was turned off the scene compared to not wearing VR head-mounted goggles with eyes-closed or turned on scene, respectively.
