Efficacy of Dietary Supplements on Sleep Quality and Daytime Function of Shift Workers: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Dietary supplements (DSs) may be useful for managing shift work disorder. But the efficiency of outcomes in clinical trials using simulated shift work populations as subjects is controversial. This review explores the potential role of DSs for improving sleep quality, daily functioning, and mood among shift workers in the real world.

Analytical methods for amino acid determination in organisms.

Amino acids are important metabolites for tissue metabolism, growth, maintenance, and repair, which are basic life necessities. Therefore, summarizing analytical methods for amino acid determination in organisms is important. In the past decades, analytical methods for amino acids have developed rapidly but have not been fully explored.

4,6-Dichloro-5-(2-meth-oxy-phen-oxy)-2,2'-bipyrimidine.

In the title compound, C(15)H(10)Cl(2)N(4)O(2), the dichloro-pyrimidine and meth-oxy-phen-oxy parts are approximately perpendicular [dihedral angle = 89.9 (9)°]. The dihedral angle between the two pyrimidine rings is 36.
