Novel Endocytosis Inhibitors Block Entry of HIV-1 Tat into Neural Cells.

Many pathogens including viruses enter cells by endocytosis. We identified and evaluated novel endocytosis inhibitors capable of blocking the entry of the HIV-1 Tat protein into neuronal cells and investigated their potential protective properties against Tat-induced neurotoxicity. In this study, the compounds Les-6631 and Les-6633 were synthesized and assessed.

New guidelines for the effectiveness of exercise in the prevention of dementia: Implications for psychiatry.

Unlabelled: To the Editors, We recently published evidence-based guidelines for the role of exercise in the prevention of dementia.1 The guidelines combined an umbrella review and expert consensus, and has important implications for psychiatry. Evidence from published studies was evaluated using the GRADE assessment.

[Immunological and neuroanatomic markers of the clinical dynamics of MCI and pre-MCI].

Objective: To study the relationship of the parameters of immunity and systemic inflammation with the structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and pre-MCI undergoing neurocognitive rehabilitation to search for candidate markers of its effectiveness.

Material And Methods: The main group included 49 patients, aged ≥60 years, with MCI and pre-MCI with memory impairment, who underwent a course of neurorehabilitation for 5 weeks. The control group included 19 volunteers of similar age with a total MoCA score of ≥25, who did not have cognitive impairment and immuno-inflammatory disorders.
