Large simple trials (LSTs) emerged in response to the need for large sample sizes to answer important clinical questions in which treatments have a moderate effect on clinical endpoints. Between 1991 and 1996 the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Cooperative Studies Program conducted an LST entitled "Digitalis Investigation Group (DIG): Trial to Evaluate the Effect of Digitalis on Mortality in Heart Failure." The VA Cooperative Studies Program Clinical Research Pharmacy Coordinating Center served as the DIG pharmacy coordinating center (PCC). As a direct result of involvement in the DIG trial, the PCC identified the need for an increased emphasis on computerization and automated support of clinical trials, especially LSTs.

Mice born to mothers fed a diet high in omega-6 fatty acids and low in omega-3 fatty acids during pregnancy exhibit various behavioral changes including impaired social behaviors and enhanced recognition memory.

Background: Modern dietary trends have led to an increase in foods that are relatively high in n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and low in n-3 PUFAs. We previously reported that the offspring of mother mice that consumed a diet high in n-6 linoleic acid (LA) and low in n-3 α-linolenic acid (ALA), hereinafter called the LA/ALA diet, exhibit behavioral abnormalities related to anxiety and feeding.
Objective: We currently lack a comprehensive overview of the behavioral abnormalities in these offspring, which was investigated in this study.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is increasingly regarded as an attractive approach for cancer treatment due to its advantages of low invasiveness, minimal side effects, and high efficiency. Here, two novel Ru(II) complexes , were designed and synthesized by coordinating phenanthroline and biquinoline ligands with Ru(II) center, and their chemo-photodynamic therapy and immunotherapy were explored. Both and exhibited significant phototoxicity against A549 and 4T1 tumor cells type-I/-II PDT.

DNA damage in cells induces the expression of inflammatory genes. However, the mechanism by which cells initiate an innate immune response in the presence of DNA lesions blocking transcription remains unknown. Here we find that genotoxic stresses lead to an acute activation of the transcription factor NF-κB through two distinct pathways, each triggered by different types of DNA lesions and coordinated by either ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) or IRAK1 kinases.

It has been reported some nanozymes could be used as a substitute for natural enzyme to detect HO to some extent. However, the low catalytic effect of these materials limited their further application fields. Hence, to increase the catalytic activity of nanozymes was a hot research topic and many methods have been reported.
