Association Between Mobility Limitations and Cognitive Decline in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: The English Longitudinal Study of Ageing.

Background And Objectives: Mobility limitations have been linked to cognition. However, little is known about the relationship between mobility decline and cognitive decline. This study investigated the effect of mobility limitations and decline on cognitive decline in a population-based cohort of older adults.

Associations of blood biomarkers with arterial stiffness in patients with diabetes mellitus: A population-based study.

Background: Arterial stiffness contributes to additional cardiovascular risks in diabetic patients by triggering the loss of vascular and myocardial compliance and promoting endothelial dysfunction. Thus, prevention of arterial stiffness is a public health priority, and the identification of potential biomarkers may provide benefits for early prevention. This study investigates the relationships between serum laboratory tests and pulse wave velocity (PWV) tests.

The independent and joint association of accelerometer-measured physical activity and sedentary time with dementia: a cohort study in the UK Biobank.

Background: Research on the association of physical activity and sedentary time with dementia is accumulating, though elusive, and the interaction effects of the two remain unclear. We analysed the joint associations of accelerometer-measured physical activity and sedentary time with risk of incident dementia (all-cause dementia, Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia).

Methods: A total of 90,320 individuals from the UK Biobank were included.

Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of Astragalus polysaccharide on EA.hy926 cells.

The aim of this study was to explore the role of astragalus polysaccharide (APS) in the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm children using an established BPD cell model. EA.hy926 cell cultures were divided into three groups: the air group as the blank control, the hyperoxia group as the experimental control and the APS group (2.

[Study on chemical constituents of the bulbs of Lycoris longituba].

Objective: To study the chemical constituents of the Bulbs of Lycoris longituba.

Methods: The chemical constituents were isolated and purified by means of chromatographic techniques and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods.

Results: Six compounds were isolated and identified as Crinine (1), Narciclasine (2), Squamigine (3), 11-Hydroxyvittatine (4), Pancracine (5), Lycorine (6).
