Nature efficiently produces a myriad of structurally diverse carbon ring frameworks from common linear precursors via cyclization reactions at specific olefinic sites in dienes or polyenes. In contrast, achieving the site-selective functionalization of diene or polyene substrates remains a formidable challenge in chemical synthesis. Herein, we report a pair of highly site-selective, regiodivergent carbocyclization reactions of dienallenes and trienallenes, enabling the efficient synthesis of -1,4-disubstituted cyclohexenes and -1,2-disubstituted cyclobutenes from a common precursor with high diastereoselectivity.

The purpose of this survey is to assess the current state of research abilities among pediatric nurses and to identify the associated influencing factors, thereby providing empirical support for the improvement of research competencies in pediatric nurses.
Methods: Pediatric clinical nurses at a tertiary children's hospital in Nanjing, China from May 1st to 31st, 2024 were included for survey.
Purpose: This study examined the feasibility and acceptability of a three-session, psychological-based intervention to improve intimacy and sexuality outcomes among women with breast and gynaecologic cancer in Singapore.
Method: Patients from outpatient oncology clinics completed screeners for marital and sexual distress. Those who endorsed either marital or sexual distress were invited into the study, and were randomized to receive the intervention immediately or be waitlisted.

Pathological neuropathic pain is a common complication following spinal cord injury. Due to its high incidence, prolonged duration, tenacity, and limited therapeutic efficacy, it has garnered increasing attention from both basic researchers and clinicians. The pathogenesis of neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury is multifaceted, involving factors such as structural and functional alterations of the central nervous system, pain signal transduction, and inflammatory effects, posing significant challenges to clinical management.

Background: Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is a malignant infectious disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV gradually destroys the body's immune system and weakens the body's ability to resist diseases. People living with HIV may have a higher incidence of coronary heart disease than people without HIV.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic joint disease that significantly affects an individual's quality-of-life and frailty has become one of the common complications in OA patients as the disease progresses. The relationship between dietary patterns is not clear.
Methods: All participants are from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and have been diagnosed with OA.
Background: Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) is very common in ICU patients. It is important to understand the status quo of knowledge, attitude and behavior of ICU nurses about ICU-AW. This survey aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitude and behavior of ICU nurses about ICU-AW, to provide useful implications for clinical care.

There is a wide variety of cancer cells that can be linked to the presence of TPX2. However, there is not a lot of evidence regarding its role in the development and maintenance of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). In our study, bioinformatics analysis was performed to obtain differentially expressed mRNAs and miR-NAs in ccRCC.

Methods: This was a multicenter randomized controlled trial conducted in 6 Chinese centers between July and September 2020 (ChiCTR2000034423).
Many tools are used to predict difficult airway, including bedside screening tests, radiological variables, and ultrasonography. However, the "gold standard" to identify difficult airway before intubation has not been established. The assessment and prediction of difficult airway is receiving increasing attention in clinical practice due to the devastating results of failed oxygenation or intubation.

Based on the established mathematical model and sliding mode control (SMC) algorithm, controller of one vibrator is designed to implement the multi-phase control synchronization. Then self-synchronization mechanism of the other two vibrators is analyzed through small parameter average method and Routh-Hurwitz criterion.
