Obesity impairs cognition. Bariatric surgery can result in substantial weight loss in patients with severe obesity; however, the impact of bariatric surgery on cognitive function remains controversial. To quantify the effect of bariatric surgery on cognition in patients with severe obesity, we performed a meta-analysis of 20 studies retrieved from PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase.

Background: Modified Jianpi Yangzheng decoction (mJPYZ), as an empirical decoction of Traditional Chinese medicine has been shown significantly to prolong the survival of patients with advanced stage gastric cancer. Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2), has attracted attention for its important role on cellular aerobic glycolysis, however, few studies focus on PKM2 non-metabolic roles in tumor progression.

Purpose: Our study aimed to investigate the potential role of gastric cancer exosomes containing PKM2 in regulating tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) and the mechanism of mJPYZ against gastric cancer.

We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials and pilot trial studies to compare the effectiveness of intermittent fasting (IF) and continuous calorie restriction (CCR) in overweight and obese people. The parameters included body mass index (BMI), body weight, and other metabolism-related indicators. A systematic search in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science was conducted up to January 2022.

Jian-pi-yang-zheng Decoction (JPYZ) is a traditional Chinese medicine that is used for the treatment of advanced gastric cancer, and it shows good efficacy in patients. A previous study indicated that JPYZ inhibited the progression of gastric cancer via the regulation of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), but the underlying molecular target of JPYZ regulation of TAMs has not been determined. The present study used modified-JPYZ (mJPYZ) to extend our investigation of gastric cancer.

Carboxyethyltin and first-row transition metals (TMs) were firstly introduced into trivacant Keggin-type tungstoantimonate in an aqueous solution, leading to the formation of four crystalline organic-inorganic hybrid sandwich-type polyoxometalates (POMs), formulated as Na10-x-yKyHx[((TM)(H2O)3)2(Sn(CH2)2COO)2(SbW9O33)2]·nH2O (SbW9-TM-SnR, TM = Mn, Co, Ni, Zn; x = 1, 1, 0, 0; y = 0, 5, 5, 2; n = 18, 24, 24, 22, respectively). SbW9-TM-SnR exhibit high catalytic ability for the oxidation of cyclohexanol. Meanwhile, SbW9-TM-SnR were composited with polypyrrole (PPy) through an electropolymerization process, forming PPy-SbW9-TM-SnR, on which platinum (Pt) was further electro-deposited to prepare PPy-SbW9-TM-SnR/Pt for electrocatalytic methanol (CH3OH) oxidation in acid solution.
