Relationship between long-term shift work; night work; sleep deficiency and stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The association between shift/night work and the risk of stroke is not supported by strong evidence.

Objective: This study aimed to obtain evidence of a potential relationship between shift/night shift work and the risk of stroke.

Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and Web of science databases for eligible studies from inception to January 19, 2024.

Efficacy of probiotic supplements on Parkinson's disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of probiotics supplementation in the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD).

Methods: We searched China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Weipu (VIP) database, Wanfang Database, Sinomed (CBM), PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library and Web of Science databases for eligible studies from inception to January 4th, 2024. Randomized controlled trials (RCTS) comparing the effects of probiotic supplements and placebo in patients with PD.

Research on the signaling pathways related to the intervention of traditional Chinese medicine in Parkinson's disease:A literature review.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting more than 10 million people worldwide and is characterized by the progressive loss of Daergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. It has been reported that signaling pathways play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of PD, while the active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) have been found to possess a protective effect against PD. TCM has demonstrated significant potential in mitigating oxidative stress (OS), neuroinflammation, and apoptosis of DA neurons via the regulation of signaling pathways associated with PD.

Effect of sedated colonoscopy with different cost coverage on improving compliance with colorectal cancer screening in China.

Background: Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide. Colonoscopy is the gold standard for colorectal cancer screening. However, the colonoscopy participation rate in China is much lower than that in Europe and the United States.

Bismuth-Decorated Beta Zeolites Catalysts for Highly Selective Catalytic Oxidation of Cellulose to Biomass-Derived Glycolic Acid.

Catalytic conversion of cellulose to liquid fuel and highly valuable platform chemicals remains a critical and challenging process. Here, bismuth-decorated β zeolite catalysts (Bi/β) were exploited for highly efficient hydrolysis and selective oxidation of cellulose to biomass-derived glycolic acid in an O atmosphere, which exhibited an exceptionally catalytic activity and high selectivity as well as excellent reusability. It was interestingly found that as high as 75.

Kinetic Study of Two-Stage Low-Temperature Heat Release in iso-Octane Autoignition.

Recognizing that low-temperature ignition of alkanes is usually associated with one heat release peak, we report herein that, for iso-octane under certain ranges of initial temperatures and pressures, two separate heat release peaks were observed through computational simulations using several kinetic mechanisms. The inherent chemical reason for this phenomenon is discussed using reaction channel analysis and is identified to result from the competition between R + O → RO and the β scission reactions. By further utilizing sensitivity and path flux analyses, an isomeric effect is identified in that the different isomeric structures produced through the H-abstraction reactions can lead to differences in the subsequent low-temperature reaction pathways.
