The blinding status and characteristics in acupuncture clinical trials: a systematic reviews and meta-analysis.

Background: Sham acupuncture is a widely accepted control in acupuncture clinical trials. Given the nature of acupuncture, it is warranted to assess the blinding of sham-controlled trials. Despite the sham acupuncture design having been widely used, the overall blinding of sham acupuncture and the characteristics of blinding assessment in acupuncture trials are unclear.

Defunctionalization Enabled by Intramolecular Radical Aromatic Substitution.

A chemoselective and regioselective copper-promoted defunctionalization procedure has been developed, enabling the rapid construction of various -polyheterocycles. Initial mechanistic studies reveal that a single-electron transfer radical process is potentially involved.

Recent advancements in iodide/phosphine-mediated photoredox radical reactions.

Photoredox catalysis plays a crucial role in contemporary synthetic organic chemistry. Since the groundbreaking work of Shang and Fu on photocatalytic decarboxylative alkylations in 2019, a wide range of organic transformations, such as alkylation, alkenylation, cyclization, amination, iodination, and monofluoromethylation, have been progressively achieved using a combination of iodide and PPh. In this review, we primarily focus on summarizing the recent advancements in inexpensive and readily available iodide/phosphine-mediated photoredox radical transformations.

Placebo response in sham-acupuncture-controlled trials for migraine: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aim: To understand the placebo response of acupuncture and its effect on migraine and optimize the design of future acupuncture clinical trials on migraine treatment.

Methods: Randomized controlled trials with sham acupuncture as a control in migraine treatment were searched in four English databases from inception to September 1, 2022. The primary outcome was placebo response rate.

Descriptions of sham acupuncture in randomised controlled trials: a critical review of the literature.

Background: Sham acupuncture is usually used to assess the specific effects of acupuncture. However, the reporting quality of sham acupuncture remains unclear despite its critical importance in understanding and analyzing the effects of acupuncture. This paper presents a literature review aimed at assessing the quality of reporting of sham acupuncture in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) based on STRICTA 2010 and TIDieR-Placebo.

Recent advances in the chemistry of aryltriazene.

Triazene is one of the most versatile building blocks in organic synthesis. Generally, it is viewed as a safe equivalent of diazonium salt, thus immediately finding numerous applications in preparative chemistry and medicinal chemistry. Besides, it can be used as a removable directing group in C-H functionalization or play a smart role as a precursor for aryl cation/radical generation.

Changes of Barley Stripe Rust Populations in the United States from 1993 to 2017.

Barley stripe rust is a relatively new disease in the United States. The pathogen, f. sp.

Application of Hybrid Multiple Attribute Decision-Making Model to Explore the Design Strategies of Children's Facilities in Neighborhood Open Spaces Based on Sensory Integration Theory.

In recent years, the prevalence of sensory integration disorders in children in urban areas has increased. Most existing sensory integration treatments are located in hospital-based sensory integration units; however, medical resources are extremely limited, making it difficult to guarantee the appropriate treatment time and intervention results for many children. The concept of sensory integration therapy must be disseminated widely and correctly to meet these children's needs.

Genotyping f. sp. Isolates with SSR and SP-SNP Markers Reveals Dynamics of the Wheat Stripe Rust Pathogen in the United States from 1968 to 2009 and Identifies Avirulence-Associated Markers.

Stripe rust, caused by f. sp. , is a devastating disease of wheat () in the United States.

Changes of Races and Virulence Genes in Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, the Wheat Stripe Rust Pathogen, in the United States from 1968 to 2009.

Stripe (yellow) rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, is a serious disease of wheat in the world.
