Approach: human outcome. Palette: natural.

Close, low-angle shot of an older adult's bare lower leg and bare feet resting on crisp white hospital bed linen, with a soft, out-of-focus window in the background. The camera sits at mattress level and looks along the calf toward the ankle. Face is not visible. A small ultrasound probe coated in clear gel presses against the back of the knee. The operator's gloved hand enters from the frame edge. Soft overcast daylight from the window gives skin tones a warm, realistic look. Around the bed, a sprig of fresh rosemary and a few purple-green ashwagandha leaves sit on a wooden bedside tray. The leaves provide plant-green accents, along with one small electric green sensor light on a monitor. Palette: natural greens, wood browns and warm skin. Mood: quiet, careful and hopeful.

PB125:卧床期间维持动脉功能的植物性 Nrf2 混合物

BY NOVA CHEN ·

PB125 是一种由迷迭香、印度人参(ashwagandha)和黄酮类化合物 luteolin 组成的植物性 Nrf2 激活剂。近期一项小规模、双盲的人体试验在 44 名受试者中检验了其效果。24 名老年受试者每日服用 200 mg,连续两周后,上臂血流介导扩张(FMD)从 2.8% 提升至 3.8%,膝后血管 FMD 从 1.5% 提升至 2.3%。在随后五天的卧床期间,PB125 组的动脉功能和抗氧化水平保持稳定,而安慰剂组出现下降。年轻受试者虽然基线 FMD 未提升,但在肢体固定期间仍表现出对膝后 FMD 的保护。由于样本量小且仅使用替代终点,这一发现更像是积极信号,而非临床疗效的确凿证明。

Approach: macro science. Palette: natural.

Extreme close-up of a fresh rosemary sprig shot at a slight overhead angle with a macro lens at a shallow depth of field. The needle-like leaves fill the frame. Their glossy dark-green upper surfaces and pale, felted undersides are sharp in the foreground. Tiny oil glands and fine hairs catch the light, and a few beads of aromatic oil glisten on the leaf edges. A small pale-violet rosemary flower sits in the mid-ground. Soft morning daylight comes through a window from the left and gives warm, natural highlights. The background melts into a creamy blur of garden greens and earthy terracotta brown. One needle tip glows with a subtle electric green (#00e676) rim light. The mood is calm, fresh and curious, with a quiet scientific intimacy and no text.

超市常见草本提升记忆、缓解焦虑并改善睡眠评分

BY NOVA CHEN ·

一种在超市即可买到的普通草本,在随机、双盲的临床试验中出乎意料地带来了广泛的积极变化。68 名大学生每日服用 1 克迷迭香粉一个月后,主观测得的记忆、焦虑、抑郁以及多数睡眠指标均优于安慰剂,唯一未见显著变化的是入睡潜伏期和睡眠时长。所有结局均基于问卷,研究仅在单一中心完成,摘要也未报告效应量。本文将带你了解这项试验的具体发现、其局限性,以及如果感兴趣,如何理性尝试迷迭香。
