The alleviative effects comparison of four flavonoids from bamboo leaves on ulcerative colitis in an Alzheimer mouse model.
Article in CNS neuroscience & therapeutics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundClinically, patients with dementia are at high risk of developing enteritis, especially those with AD. This study explored the potential therapeutic benefits of bamboo leaf flavonoids (BLF) for ulcerative colitis (UC) treatment in Alzheimer's disease (AD) mouse model.
methodsVarious methods were employed, including pathological staining of brain/colon tissue, inflammatory cytokine detection in serum, and oxidative stress indicator assessment to compare ulcerative enteritis (UC) injury in normal and AD mice and determine whether AD mice were susceptible to colitis. Then, the effects of BLF on UC and AD were investigated via several unique indices further to determine whether it alleviated colitis injury and possessed beneficial properties. Moreover, four main components of BLF were utilized to treat primary colon epithelial cells and neuron cells to compare their effects in alleviating inflammation and oxidation. Furthermore, homoorientin embedded with ursolic acid was detected by HPLC and the in vitro release simulation experiments of the nanoparticles were performed.
resultsBLF complexes positively impacted ulcerative colitis by reducing disease activity, it also helped to reduce inflammation. Moreover, the BLF complexes decreased oxidative stress in the brain and colon tissues, indicating its potential as a neuroprotective agent. The flavonoid complexes reduced the expression levels of GFAP, Iba-1, and Aβ in the brain tissue, highlighting its role in attenuating neuroinflammation and AD pathology. Additionally, the embedded homoorientin coated with ursolic acid showed stronger bioactivities when compared with the uncoated group.
conclusionThese results suggest that BLF complexes and its four main chemicals may be useful for treating AD- and UC-related complications, the embedded homoorientin coated with ursolic acid even demonstrated stronger bioavailability than homoorientin. Considering BLF complexes were verified to suppress the progressions of AD and UC for the first time, and the embedded homoorientin was never reported in published articles, the present study might provide a new perspective on its potential applications.
