Abstract: Currently, nutraceuticals and functional food/cosmeceutical sectors are seeking natural molecules to develop various types of phytopharmaceutical products. Flavonoids have been reported in antioxidant and many medical/pharmacological activities. Monochoria angustifolia or Siam violet pearl medicinal plant is the newest species of the genus Monochoria C. Presl, which have long been consumed as food and herbal medicines. Though previous work showed that apigenin-7-O-glucoside is the most abundant antioxidant phytochemical found in this medicinal plant, the report on anti-aging activity is still lacking and needs to be filled in. The objective of this work is to explore anti-aging capacities of the most abundant antioxidant phytochemical reported in this plant using both in silico and in vitro assessments. In addition, pharmacokinetic properties were predicted. Interestingly, the results from both in silico and in vitro analysis showed a similar trend that apigenin-7- O-glucoside is a potential anti-aging agent against three enzymes. The pharmacokinetic properties, such as adsorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity (ADMET), of this compound are also provided in this work. The current study is also the first report on anti-aging properties of this Thai medicinal plant. However, the safety and efficacy of future developed products from this compound and clinical study should be determined in the future.

Abstract
Skin aging has been associated with the onset of various skin issues, and recent studies have identified an increase in Cdc42 activity in naturally aging mice. While previous literature has suggested that CASIN, a specific inhibitor of Cdc42 activity, may possess anti-aging properties, its specific effects on the epidermis and dermis, as well as the underlying mechanisms in naturally aging mice, remain unclear. Our study revealed that CASIN demonstrated the ability to increase epidermal and dermal thickness, enhance dermal-epidermal junction, and stimulate collagen and elastic fiber synthesis in 9-, 15-, and 24-month-old C57BL/6 mice in vivo. Moreover, CASIN was found to enhance the proliferation, differentiation, and colony formation and restore the cytoskeletal morphology of primary keratinocytes in naturally aging skin in vitro. Furthermore, the anti-aging properties of CASIN on primary fibroblasts in aging mice were mediated by the ribosomal protein RPL4 using proteomic sequencing, influencing collagen synthesis and cytoskeletal morphology both in vitro and in vivo. Meanwhile, both subcutaneous injection and topical application exhibited anti-aging effects for a duration of 21 days. Additionally, CASIN exhibited anti-inflammatory properties, while reduced expression of RPL4 was associated with increased inflammation in the skin of naturally aging mice. Taken together, our results unveil a novel function of RPL4 in skin aging, providing a foundational basis for future investigations into ribosomal proteins. And CASIN shows promise as a potential anti-aging agent for naturally aging mouse skin, suggesting potential applications in the field.

创伤是指由于各种致伤因素导致的机体软组织、骨骼甚至内脏器官等等各个系统的损伤,创伤可以根据发生地点、受伤部位、受伤组织、致伤因素及皮肤完整程度进行分类。 按发生地点分为战争伤、工业伤、农业伤、交通伤、体育伤、生活伤等;按受伤部位分为颅脑创伤、胸部创伤、腹部创伤、各部位的骨折和关节脱位、手部伤等;按受伤类型分为骨折、脱位、脑震荡、器官破裂等;相邻部位同时受伤者称为联合伤(如胸腹联合伤);按受伤的组织或器官分类时,又可按受伤组织的深浅分为软组织创伤、骨关节创伤和内脏创伤。软组织创伤指皮肤、皮下组织和肌肉的损伤,也包括行于其中的血管和神经。单纯的软组织创伤一般较轻,但广泛的挤压伤可致挤压综合征。血管破裂大出血亦可致命。骨关节创伤包括骨折和脱位,并按受伤的骨或关节进一步分类并命名。如股骨骨折、肩关节脱位等。内脏创伤又可按受伤的具体内脏进行分类和命名。如脑挫裂伤、肺挫伤、肝破裂等。同一致伤原因引起两个以上部位或器官的创伤,称为多处伤或多发伤。按致伤因素,分为火器伤、切伤、刺伤、撕裂伤、挤压伤、扭伤、挫伤等。按皮肤完整程度,分为闭合性创伤、开放性创伤等。
