Background: Compassion fatigue impacts nurses' well-being and work efficiency. Extensive research has explored its prevalence, but evidence regarding related factors is broadly categorized and lacks descriptive data. There's also a lack of systematic reviews on compassion fatigue among nursing students during internships.

AP2-associated protein kinase 1 (AAK1) is a crucial regulator of clathrin-mediated endocytosis, involved in various cellular processes, including viral infection. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are essential in regulating gene transcription through the process of histone deacetylation and have become promising therapeutic targets for the treatment of cancer and viral infections. In this study, several AAK1/HDACs dual inhibitors based on our previous reported compounds were designed and synthesized, and the antiviral activity of these dual inhibitors were evaluated.

Aims: A negative association between the lower level of psychological resilience (PR) and increased risk of compassion fatigue (CF) and higher Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) stress has been revealed. However, bibliometric studies have not been performed to comprehensively investigate this topic. This study aimed to identify the status and trends in the CF and PR field from 2008 to 2021 and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Introduction: Ataxia telangiectasia and RAD3-related kinase (ATR) is one of the key phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-related kinase family members important for DNA damage response and repair pathways. Targeting ATR kinase for potential cancer therapy has attracted a great deal of attention to both pharmaceutical industries and academic community.

Area Covered: This article surveys the patents published since 2014 aiming to analyze the structural features of scaffolds and the patent space.

The coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic has become a global threat since its first outbreak at the end of 2019. Several review articles have been published recently, focusing on the aspects of target biology, drug repurposing, and mechanisms of action (MOAs) for potential treatment. This review gathers all small molecules currently in active clinical trials, categorizes them into six sub-classes, and summarizes their clinical progress.

: DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) plays a crucial role in the repair of DSBs via non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). Several DNA-PK inhibitors are being investigated for potential anticancer treatment in clinical trials.: This review aims to give an overview of patents published since 2010 by analyzing the patent space and structure features of scaffolds used in those patents.

Three series of novel 2-methylpiperazine derivatives were designed and synthesized using a fragment-assembly strategy. Among them, six compounds (13, 16, 18, 22, 33, and 36) showed potent activity against CCR5 comparable to that of the positive control, maraviroc, in calcium mobilization assay. Moreover, some compounds were selected and further tested for their antiviral activity in HIV-1 single cycle assay.

The multikinase inhibitor sorafenib is the first oral agent to show activity against human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Although the clinical application of sorafenib has shown good tolerability in the studied populations, it also causes multiple human dose-limiting toxicities. Thus, there is a strong need to reduce the overall dose of sorafenib.

The design and synthesis of two series of 8-(substituted styrol-formamido)phenyl-xanthine derivatives are described. Their in vitro monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) inhibition were tested and the effect of substituents on the N-7, phenyl and the substituted positions are discussed. It was observed that compound 9b displayed significant MAO-B inhibition activity and selectivity, fluorine substitution plays a key role in the selectivity of MAO-B inhibition, and the styrol-formamido group at position-3' may enhance the activity and selectivity of 8-phenyl-xanthine analogues.

We recently isolated an exon-4-deleted epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) variant, termed de4 EGFR. Because the extracellular domain alteration of receptors often influences the antitumor effect of therapeutic antibodies, it is essential to test the sensitivity of de4 EGFR(+) tumors to anti-EGFR antibodies. Therefore, in this study, the antitumor activities of mAb CH12, an anti-EGFRvIII antibody developed in our laboratory, as well as a U.

The mouse-human chimeric anti-epidermal growth factor receptor vIII (EGFRvIII) antibody C12 is a promising candidate for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, 3 processes were successfully developed to produce C12 by cultivation of recombinant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-DG44) cells in serum-free medium. The effect of inoculum density was evaluated in batch cultures of shaker flasks to obtain the optimal inoculum density of 5 × 10(5) cells/mL.

Human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is considered difficult to cure because it is resistant to radio- and chemotherapy and has a high recurrence rate after curative liver resection. Epidermal growth factor receptor variant III (EGFRvIII) has been reported to express in HCC tissues and cell lines. This article describes the efficacy of an anti-EGFRvIII monoclonal antibody (mAb CH12) in the treatment of HCC xenografts with EGFRvIII expression and the underlying mechanism of EGFRvIII as an oncogene in HCC.
