Meta-analysis of the effect of exercise intervention on cognitive function in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Objective: Cognitive dysfunction is a common complication of diabetes after central nervous system involvement. The impact of exercise, as an important non-pharmacological intervention strategy, on cognitive function remains controversial. Thus, we conducted a meta-analysis to assess the impact of exercise on cognitive function of elderly patients with type2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

[Development of green pesticides from traditional Chinese medicines based on artificial intelligence and compatibility of traditional Chinese medicines].

The food security of China as a big agricultural country is attracting increasing attention. With the progress in the traditional Chinese medicine industry, Chinese medicinal materials and their preparations have been gradually developed as agents for disease prevention and with antimicrobial and insecticidal functions in agriculture. Promoting pesticide innovation by interdisciplinary integration has become the trend in pesticide research globally.

Identification and genetic characterization of a recently identified enterovirus C116 in China.

Enterovirus C116 (EV-C116) is a new member of the enterovirus C group which is closely associated with several infectious diseases. Although sporadic studies have detected EV-C116 in clinical samples worldwide, there is currently limited information available. In this study, two EV-C-positive fecal specimens were detected in apparently healthy children, which harbored low abundance, through meta-transcriptome sequencing.

Interaction of biomass fuels use and metals exposure on hypertension: A prospective cohort study in rural areas along the Yangtze River, China.

Humans maybe simultaneously exposed to multiple-metals and indoor air pollution in daily life. However, limited prospective studies have assessed the interaction between multiple metals exposure and biomass fuels use on hypertension in China. The prospective cohort study in rural areas along the Yangtze River included 2625 adults in 2014-2015, and they were followed up till 2019.

Early chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A new perspective.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a respiratory disease with a high incidence, mortality, and disability rate. Because there are few symptoms in the early stages of COPD, diagnosis and treatment are seriously insufficient. It is necessary to find effective clues for early COPD diagnosis and provide appropriate interventions.

Model for Identifying High Carotid Body Chemosensitivity in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

Objective: The carotid body (CB) is a major peripheral respiratory chemoreceptor. In patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), high CB chemosensitivity (CBC) is associated with refractory hypertension and insulin resistance and known to further aggravate OSA. Thus, the identification of high CB (hCBC) among OSA patients is of clinical significance, but detection methods are still limited.

Light-Promoted Nickel Catalysis: Etherification of Aryl Electrophiles with Alcohols Catalyzed by a Ni -Aryl Complex.

A highly effective C-O coupling reaction of (hetero)aryl electrophiles with primary and secondary alcohols is reported. Catalyzed by a Ni -aryl complex under long-wave UV (390-395 nm) irradiation in the presence of a soluble amine base without any additional photosensitizer, the reaction enables the etherification of aryl bromides and aryl chlorides as well as sulfonates with a wide range of primary and secondary aliphatic alcohols, affording synthetically important ethers. Intramolecular C-O coupling is also possible.

Advances in diarylpyrimidines and related analogues as HIV-1 nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors.

HIV-1 nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) have been playing an important role in the fight against acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Diarylpyrimidines (DAPYs) as the second generation NNRTIs, represented by etravirine (TMC125) and rilpivirine (TMC278), have attracted extensive attention due to their extraordinary potency, high specificity and low toxicity. However, the rapid emergence of drug-resistant virus strains and dissatisfactory pharmacokinetics of DAPYs present new challenges.

Design and synthesis of hybrids of diarylpyrimidines and diketo acids as HIV-1 inhibitors.

Based on the strategy of molecular hybridization, diketo acid fragment as a classical phamacophore of integrase inhibitors was introduced to reverse transcriptase inhibitors diarylpyrimidines to design a series of diarylpyrimidine-diketo acid hybrids (DAPY-DKAs). The target molecules 10b and 11b showed inhibitory activities against WT HIV-1 with EC values of 0.18μM and 0.

Structural modifications of diarylpyrimidines (DAPYs) as HIV-1 NNRTIs: Synthesis, anti-HIV activities and SAR.

30 new analogues of diarylpyrimidines were synthesized for further structural modifications, involving not only the linker but also the wing α of DAPYs. The anti-HIV-1 activities of all target molecules were evaluated, and most of them exhibited potent anti-HIV-1 (WT) activities and low cytotoxicities. Among which, compound 4g showed excellent activities against WT HIV-1 with an EC value of 5.
