Grapes, recognized as a nutritionally rich fruit, have been found through extensive research to contain various bioactive components. However, the roles of polysaccharides and their bioactive properties remain unclear. Based on this, in our research, four different grape polysaccharides were obtained using an enzymatic-assisted extraction method.

Background: Hypoglycemic pharmacotherapy interventions for alleviating the risk of dementia remains controversial, particularly about dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) inhibitors versus metformin. Our objective was to investigate whether the initiation of DPP4 inhibitors, as opposed to metformin, was linked to a reduced risk of dementia.

Methods: We included individuals with type 2 diabetes over 40 years old who were new users of DPP4 inhibitors or metformin in the Chinese Renal Disease Data System (CRDS) database between 2009 and 2020.

Background: In older individuals, the role of low serum uric acid (SUA) as risk factor for mortality is debated. We therefore studied whether SUA levels, particularly low SUA concentrations, are associated with all-cause and cardiovascular (CV) mortality in older population, and to clarify potential effect modification of kidney function.

Methods: We identified 14,005 older people in National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from 1999 to 2018.

Native starches usually have poor polyphenol-binding efficiency despite remarkable architectural structures. In this study, the interaction between cyandin-3-O-glucose (C3G) and three starches under high hydrostatic pressure was investigated. Pressure (200-550 MPa) was found to promote the binding rate of potato starch from 31.

Background: The efficacy of immunosuppression in the management of immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy remains highly controversial. The study was conducted to assess the effect of immunosuppression, compared with supportive care, in the real-world setting of IgA nephropathy.

Methods: A cohort of 3946 patients with IgA nephropathy, including 1973 new users of immunosuppressive agents and 1973 propensity score-matched recipients of supportive care, in a nationwide register data from January 2019 to May 2022 in China was analyzed.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: The incidence of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is gradually increasing, the proportion is rising especially in female infertility patients. The risk of death of POI patients with cardiovascular disease also increases significantly. The cause of POI is complex and unclear, and clinical treatment is still in the exploratory stage, are two major constraints of treating POI.

The behavior of the magnetic field sensitivity of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers as a function of microwave power and the inhomogeneous distribution of MW fields was systematically studied. An optimal structure for exciting spin structures by MW signals was designed using two parallel loop antennas. The volume of the homogeneous regions was approximately 42 mm, and the associated diameter of the diamond reached up to 5.
