Background: An increasing number of studies in recent years investigate various dietary and lifestyle patterns and associated breast cancer (BC) risk.

Objectives: This study aimed to comprehensively synthesize and grade the evidence on dietary and lifestyle patterns and BC risk.

Methods: Databases were systematically searched up to 31 March, 2022, for evidence from randomised controlled trials and prospective cohort studies on adherence to a dietary pattern alone or in combination with lifestyle behaviors and incidence of or mortality from primary BC in adult females.

Current pharmacologic treatments for atherosclerosis do not completely protect patients; additional protection can be achieved by dietary modifications, such as a low-cholesterol/low-fat diet (LCLFD), that mediate plaque stabilization and inflammation reduction. However, this lifestyle modification can be challenging for patients. Unfortunately, incomplete understanding of the underlying mechanisms has thwarted efforts to mimic the protective effects of a LCLFD.

Article Synopsis
  • Inflammatory bowel diseases involve ongoing inflammation in the intestines and changes in gut microbiota, which can be influenced by outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) that contain polysaccharide A (PSA).
  • The study used a mouse model of intestinal colitis induced by sodium dextran sulfate (DSS) and examined the effects of OMV treatment by assessing disease severity and gut tissue health through disease activity index (DAI) and histology.
  • Results indicated that OMV treatment improved intestinal healing and altered microbiota composition, highlighting OMVs’ potential as both anti-inflammatory agents and facilitators of microbiota recovery.

Synthesis of a chelating phosphite-phosphine ligand from a tris(quinoxaline) extended resorcin[4]arene and its application in the rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation of terminal alkyl alkenes are reported. Rhodium complexes are formed within the cavity of the macrocycle and branched-selective hydroformylation of 1-octene with a / ratio of 5.9 has been achieved at 60 °C under 1:1 H/CO (20 bar).

A process for the catalytic reduction of nitrous oxide using NHC-ligated copper(I) tert-butoxide precatalysts and Bpin as the reductant is reported. These reactions proceed under mild conditions via copper(I)-boryl intermediates which react with NO by facile O-atom insertion into the Cu-B bond and liberate N. Turnover numbers >800 can be achieved at 80 °C under 1 bar NO.
