We consider, from a symbolic point of view, a pair of definite integrals containing Lambert W , recently considered from a numerical point of view by Walter Gautschi. We transform the integrals to a shape that can be integrated in special cases by a computer-algebra system or by using tables of integrals, such as Prudnikov et al.

To investigate the mechanisms and active components governing the anticancer activity of rhubarb.The TCMSP database was screened to identify the active components of rhubarb and Swiss target predictions were generated to predict their cellular targets. TTD and OMIM databases were used to predict tumor-related target genes. "Cytoscape" was used to construct drug targets. PPI network analysis, GO enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway analysis of the key targets were investigated using String and David databases. A total of 33 components and 116 corresponding targets were screened. Amongst them, the key active compounds in rhubarb included emodin, aloe emodin, β-sitosterol, emodin methyl ether and rhein, which were predicted to target TP53, AKT1, STAT3, PIK3CA, HRAS, and VEGFA. GO analysis revealed that the cellular targets clustered into 159 biological processes, including those involved in cellular composition (n=24) and molecular functions (n=42, P<0.01). KEGG pathway analysis revealed 85 (P < 0.01) pathways related to cancer. The active compounds in rhubarb target TP53, AKT1 and PIK3CA. Rhubarb therefore regulates cancer development through an array of biological pathways.
