Sevoflurane (Sev) is an inhalational anesthetic for surgical procedures where it can trigger cognitive dysfunction and neuronal apoptosis. Gyosaponin (GpS) was studied for its effects on brain morphology and cognitive behaviors in Sev-anesthetized rats. ⋯ GpS ameliorates Sev-induced neurotoxicity and cognitive dysfunction by modulating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway and alleviating neuronal apoptosis and oxidative stress.

The impact of photodynamic therapy on cellular immune function in patients with cervical HPV infection.
Cervical Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection, a common sexually transmitted infection, can lead to cervical cancer. This study investigates the impact of Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) on cellular immune function in cervical HPV-infected patients. ⋯ PDT enhances cellular immune function in cervical HPV-infected patients by increasing CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells and reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines. These findings highlight the potential of PDT in modulating immune responses and improving therapeutic strategies for cervical HPV infection.
