    Abstract: Disulfide-Isomerase A4 (PDIA4) inhibitors and use thereof for inhibiting pancreatic β-cell pathogenesis and treating diabetes are disclosed. Drug candidates that inhibit PDIA4 with IC50 values ranging from 4 μM to 300 nM are identified. The compounds are highly active in augmenting insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells. The representative compound No. 8 (4,5-dimethoxy-2-propiolamidobenzoic acid), alone or in combination with metformin, is effective in preserving pancreatic β-cell function, treating and/or reversing, returning blood glucose concentration to a normal level in a diabetic.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to anti-coccidial phytogenic formulations. Specifically, anti-coccidial compositions and use thereof are disclosed. An anti-coccidial composition comprises (a) an effective amount of Artemisia indica extract; and (b) an effective amount of Bidens pilosa extract. The composition may further comprise a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle, excipient, or carrier, and/or an animal feed. The anti-coccidial compositions may be used in the manufacture of a medicament for killing coccidian oocysts, inhibiting oocyst sporulation, reducing sporozoite invasion, and lessening bloody stools, or for alleviating or treating coccidiosis, in a subject in need thereof. In another aspect, the invention relates to use of an anti-coccidial formulation comprising an effective amount of Artemisia indica extract, and a pharmaceutical acceptable vehicle in the manufacture of a medicament for killing coccidian oocysts and inhibiting coccidian oocyst sporulation, and sporozoite invasion.

    Abstract: The invention relates to LAMA2, PLXDC2 and MLL4 as novel biomarkers for prediabetes and diabetes. Specifically, use of a set of probes with specific binding affinities to prediabetes and diabetes protein markers comprising MLL4, LAMA2 and PLXDC2 for screening prediabetes and diabetes for care and/or treatment is disclosed. The set of probes comprises a first probe, a second probe and a third probe having specific binding affinities to the MLL4, LAMA2, and PLXDC2, respectively. A diagnostic kit device/apparatus comprising a set of probes is disclosed. A method for detecting and identifying prediabetes and/or diabetes in a subject in need thereof is also disclosed. The subject in need thereof identified as having prediabetes or diabetes is subject to a care and/or a treatment regime for the prediabetes or diabetes. Also disclosed is a method for identifying prediabetes and/or diabetes protein markers.
