Amelioration of imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like dermatitis in mice by DSW therapy inspired hydrogel.

Psoriasis is a long-lasting and recurrent autoimmune disease which is incurable so far. Dead Sea water (DSW) therapy is an effective approach to help control the symptoms of psoriasis due to the abundant mineral ions in DSW, which inspired the material formulation in this study. Rubidium-Sodium alginate/Polyacrylamide hydrogels (Rb-SA/PAAm gels) composed of sodium alginate and polyacrylamide interpenetrating network structure with different concentrations of rubidium and certain magnesium and zinc content were prepared for the treatment of psoriasis.

Spontaneous tumor lysis syndrome in a patient with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma: a case report.

Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is an oncologic emergency that usually occurs after initial treatment of a malignant tumor. It manifests as hyperuricaemia, hyperkalaemia, hyperphosphataemia and hypocalcaemia, ultimately resulting in acute kidney failure, seizures, cardiac arrhythmias, and even death. Here, we report a very rare case of spontaneous TLS in a patient with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma who eventually succumbed to renal failure.

Abdominal cocoon with early postoperative small bowel obstruction: A case report and review of literature in China.

Rationale: Abdominal cocoon is a condition in which intestinal obstruction results from the encasement of part or whole of the small bowel by a thick fibrous membrane, giving the appearance of a cocoon. The preoperative diagnosis is difficult to be made and the treatment is still controversial.

Patient Concerns: Here we describe the case of a 62-year-old male presented with a 24-h history of continual colicky abdominal pain, which was accompanied with nausea and vomiting.

Strong reproductive isolation despite occasional hybridization between a widely distributed and a narrow endemic Rhododendron species.

Reproductive isolation (RI) plays an important role for speciation, but assessing reproductive barriers at all life-cycle stages remains challenging. In plants, most studies addressing the topic have been focusing on herbs with short generation times. The present study attempted to quantify several reproductive barriers between a hybridizing species pair of long-lived woody rhododendrons.

How do leaf anatomies and photosynthesis of three Rhododendron species relate to their natural environments?

Background: Rhododendron is one of the most well-known alpine flowers. In order to identify performances relating to Rhododendron's natural habitats we investigated the leaf anatomical structures and photosynthetic characteristics of R. yunnanense, R.

Construction of 3,6-anhydrohexosides via intramolecular cyclization of triflates and its application to the synthesis of natural product isolated from leaves of Sauropus rostratus.

A novel synthetic approach to construct various 3,6-anhydrohexosides via an intramolecular cyclization of corresponding triflates is described. The nucleophilic attack from C3 p-methoxybenzylated hydroxyl to C6 trifluoromethanesulfonate on triflate structures triggered the cyclization reaction to provide 3,6-anhydrohexosides in excellent yields, making the strategy more efficient with respect to the reported protocols. By applying this methodology, a concise first total synthesis of natural product isolated from leaves of Sauropus rostratus was accomplished.

Synthesis and β-adrenergic blocking activity of oxime ether hybrids derived from a natural isochroman-4-one.

Aim: In a search for new cardiovascular drug candidates, a series of novel oxime ethers derived from a natural isochroman-4-one were synthesized.

Method: Compounds 3 and 6, derived from the natural antihypertensive compound 7, 8-dihydroxy-3-methyl-isochroman-4-one (XJP), were designed and synthesized. Subsequently, a series of novel isochroman-4-one oxime ether hybrids were prepared by hybridizing various N-substituted isopropanolamine functionalities to isochroman-4-one oxime.

Total synthesis of neokotalanol, a potent α-glucosidase inhibitor isolated from Salacia reticulata.

Neokotalanol, a potent α-glucosidase inhibitor isolated from Salacia reticulata, was synthesized through a key coupling reaction between a perbenzylated thiosugar and an appropriately protected perseitol triflate derived from D-mannose. This key step was found to be quite temperature dependent, and a simultaneous cyclization of the triflate leading to a characteristic 2,4,7-trioxabicyclo[4.2.

5,7-Bis(benz-yloxy)-2-[4-(benz-yloxy)phen-yl]-4H-chromen-4-one.

In the title compound, C(36)H(28)O(5), the terminal benzene rings are twisted at dihedral angles of 6.75 (12), 70.86 (14) and 82.
