This review discusses the traditional uses and pharmacological activities of Citrullus colocynthis, also known as Bitter Apple, but it reports no new clinical results.

This case report describes a 52-year-old woman who developed retiform purpura after using cocaine likely adulterated with levamisole, highlighting the need for levamisole detection in such cases.

This study outlines a rare case of cryptococcoid Sweet syndrome linked to hydralazine use and previous cocaine exposure, emphasizing the importance of recognizing unique histopathological features such as multiple positive autoantibodies and mucosal involvement to ensure timely diagnosis and treatment.

This study observed that Cornus officinalis fermented with Lactobacillus rhamnosus promoted hair regrowth in mice more effectively than the positive control, minoxidil.

This study found that topical gel formulations containing extracts of Eclipta alba and Lippia nodiflora significantly increased hair growth in black mice over 30 days, with a combination of both extracts showing greater effectiveness than either alone.

This study found that chemical lumbar sympathectomy with 5% phenol effectively treated idiopathic livedo reticularis in most patients, offering a potential long-lasting solution with repeatable efficacy upon recurrence.

This article discusses a proprietary botanical lotion with potential to reverse chemotherapy-induced alopecia, restore hair cycles, and improve patient wellbeing; however, it reports no new clinical results.

This study successfully synthesized novel cercidin analogues from Cercidophyllum japonicum, confirming their structure via NMR data. The researchers suggest these compounds could facilitate future antibiotic development by advancing structure-activity-relationship studies.

In this study, a hydro-alcoholic extract of Urtica dioica demonstrated in vitro antioxidant activity, potentially linked to its ferulic acid content.

This study identified enzymes responsible for regulating androgen action in the human prostate, suggesting that inhibiting AKR1C2 or RL-HSD may have therapeutic potential in androgen insufficiency or benign prostatic hyperplasia, respectively.

This study concluded that the formulated polyherbal shampoo is a chemical-free product with nourishing, conditioning, cleansing, and antimicrobial effects.

This study found that DPG promoted wound healing in rat skin, with increased collagen I density, particularly evident within the first 14 days after injury.

In this study, researchers developed a natural shampoo using traditional plant extracts and reported that its physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity were comparable to marketed shampoos. Further research is needed to confirm its performance and quality.

This study found that compounds from *Tectona grandis* leaves showed moderate inhibition of steroid 5α-reductase, a factor in androgenetic alopecia, and exhibited anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting nitric oxide and pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-6 in vitro, suggesting potential dual-action benefits for AGA management.

This literature review on neurocosmetics found that both nature-derived peptides and synthetic molecules can improve skin concerns like aging and pigmentation, while also promoting emotional well-being; however, gaps in long-term efficacy and personalized approaches remain.

In this study, compound glycyrrhizin promoted hair regrowth in a testosterone-induced alopecia mouse model and increased human hair dermal papilla cell proliferation, likely through activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

In this study of 60 male patients with androgenetic alopecia, combining Chuzhi Shengfa tablets with finasteride significantly improved clinical efficacy over finasteride alone, with an effectiveness rate of 93.33% versus 73.33%, while adverse reactions were similar between groups.

This review discusses the potential of P. polyphylla saponins to treat acne through antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and antioxidant effects, noting that acne's complex pathogenesis makes this line of research promising for future studies.

Researchers found that diammonium glycyrrhetate at 0.01 μmol/L significantly promotes human hair follicle growth in vitro and increases hair matrix cell activity, potentially through activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

This abstract provides information on various oral contraceptives, their potential hazardous interactions, and possible side effects, without presenting new research findings.

This study demonstrated that the glycolytic inhibitor 2-deoxy-D-glucose enhances antiseizure effects by potentiating extrasynaptic tonic GABAergic inhibition through neurosteroidogenesis in hippocampal slices.

This study found that essential oils from A. sinensis and L. sinense 'chuanxiong' were safe and significantly promoted hair regrowth in mice with dehydrotestosterone-induced androgenetic alopecia, outperforming 3% minoxidil in follicle number and dermal thickness improvements, suggesting potential use in hair loss treatments.

In this study, Levant Storax Cream demonstrated the highest wound healing rates in rats compared to a commercial wound care cream, a complex cream, and placebo.

This study found that petroleum ether extracts of Citrullus colocynthis reduced hair growth initiation time and advanced more hair follicles to the anagen phase in albino rats compared to untreated controls and minoxidil.

This study found that administering gingerol improved survival and reduced organ damage in mouse models of chronic graft-versus-host disease by modulating T cell differentiation and inflammatory cytokines, suggesting a novel therapeutic approach for steroid-refractory cases.

This review discusses the confusion and misuse of Polygoni Multiflori Radix, Cynanchi Wilfordii Radix, and Cynanchi Auriculati Radix in Korea, highlighting their plant origins, uses, and toxicities, without providing new clinical results.

This study found that Ganoderma lucidum fruiting body powder improved cholesterol profiles and hair follicle health in rats exposed to a tumor-promoting agent, suggesting potential chemopreventive properties against skin abnormalities.

This study found that in participants with notalgia paresthetica, 8 weeks of treatment with difelikefalin significantly improved itch intensity and increased the rate of strict complete response compared to placebo, starting as early as week 3.

This study found that litchi twig water and ethanol extracts exhibited protective effects against DHT-induced damage in androgenetic alopecia models, suggesting potential for use in hair growth promotion and waste reduction.
