Impact of Long-Term Cold Storage on the Physicochemical Properties, Volatile Composition, and Sensory Attributes of Dried Jujube ( Mill.).

Grey jujube ( Mill. cv. Huizao), a prominent cultivar from Xinjiang, China, is well known for its high nutritional value and medicinal benefits.

AM1241 inhibits chondrocyte inflammation and ECM degradation through the Nrf2/HO-1 and NF-κB pathways and alleviates osteoarthritis in mice.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the impact of AM1241 on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced chondrocyte inflammation in mice and its potential mechanism for improving osteoarthritis (OA).

Methods: The OA mice model was established employing the refined Hulth method. The impact of different concentrations of AM1241 on mice chondrocyte activity was detected using CCK-8.

Large enhancement of ferroelectric properties of perovskite oxides via nitrogen incorporation.

Perovskite oxides have a wide variety of physical properties that make them promising candidates for versatile technological applications including nonvolatile memory and logic devices. Chemical tuning of those properties has been achieved, to the greatest extent, by cation-site substitution, while anion substitution is much less explored due to the difficulty in synthesizing high-quality, mixed-anion compounds. Here, nitrogen-incorporated BaTiO thin films have been synthesized by reactive pulsed-laser deposition in a nitrogen growth atmosphere.

Ferric Chloride Mediated Dearomative Spirocyclization of Biaryl Ynones: Synthesis of 3,3-Spiroindanones.

Ferric chloride mediated dearomative spirocyclization of biaryl ynones for the synthesis of new series of densely functionalized 3,3-spiroindanone derivatives has been reported. This study is the first to describe the regioselective synthesis of a five-membered ring from biaryl ynones. The scope of the reaction is broad and the spirocyclic products were obtained in moderate to good yields (up to 87%) and with high stereoselectivities.

An effective strategy with tofacitinib for the management of focal myositis with rheumatoid arthritis: a case report.

Focal myositis is a rare, localized, benign, self-limiting, and non-suppurative inflammatory lesion of the skeletal muscle that may occasionally occur as a complication of rheumatic diseases. This case report discusses a 58-year-old patient with rheumatoid arthritis, who was diagnosed with focal myositis during standard immunosuppressive therapy. The patient was treated with tofacitinib; to our knowledge, this is the first reported case of focal myositis managed with this medication.
