Multi-functional imidazolium dendrimers based on thiacalix[4]arenes: self-assembly, catalysis and DNA binding.

For the first time, dendrimers based on thiacalix[4]arenes bearing imidazolium dendrons on one side and alkyl fragments on another side of the macrocyclic platform and symmetrical dendrimers with four dendrons on both sides were synthesized. Dendrons consist of gallic acid-based branches functionalized with imidazolium and triazolium groups. The physicochemical properties of the dendrimers such as micellar concentration (CMC), size, and solubilization capacity were measured.

[Central sensitization and comorbid disorders in patients with coronary heart disease].

Objective: Study of central sensitization (CS), insomnia and meteosensitivity in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) admitted for a routine examination.

Material And Methods: 67 patients (29 men and 38 women), aged 50-87 years, average age 73 [67; 85] years, with chronic forms of coronary heart disease were examined. The examination included the Russian version of the central sensitization inventory (CSI); assessment of meteosensitivity using a visual analogue scale (VAS); questionnaire for semi-quantitative assessment of subjective sleep characteristics (ASHS).

[Vasculitis as a cause of stroke].

The review considers the clinical picture, key aspects of the diagnosis and treatment of vasculitis that are the causes of strokes (giant cell arteritis, polyarteritis nodosa, varicella zoster virus vasculopathy, cerebrovascular pathology caused by herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, primary CNS angiitis, adenosine deaminase-2 deficiency).

[Efficacy of potassium N-acetylaminosuccinate (Cogitum) in the treatment of asthenic syndrome: results of double-blind placebo-controlled trial].

Objective: Study of the effectiveness of monotherapy with potassium N-acetylaminosuccinate (Cogitum) for asthenic syndrome (fatigue) in individuals, uncharacteristic somatic, neurological diseases, anxiety disorders, depression and other diseases that may interfere with asthenia.

Material And Methods: Patients with fatigue scores of 22 or more on the Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS) were randomly divided into the main group (MG) - 37 people, mean age 22 years [21; 24] and the control group (CG) - 34 people, mean age 21 years [19; 23]. The Trail Making Test (TMT-A and TMT-B), the assessment of general well-being on a visual analogue scale (VAS), where 0 is the worst state of health, 10 is the state of absolute well-being, was assessed.

Oxyethylated Fluoresceine-(thia)calix[4]arene Conjugates: Synthesis and Visible-Light Photoredox Catalysis in Water-Organic Media.

Fluorescent derivatives attract the attention of researchers for their use as sensors, photocatalysts and for the creation of functional materials. In order to create amphiphilic fluorescent derivatives of calixarenes, a fluorescein derivative containing oligoethylene glycol and propargyl groups was obtained. The resulting fluorescein derivative was introduced into three different (thia)calix[4]arene azide derivatives.
