Integrase is one of three enzymes expressed by HIV and represents a validated target for therapy. A previous study of the diketoacid-based chemotype suggested that there are two aryl-binding domains on integrase. In this study, modifications to the indole-based diketoacid chemotype are explored. It is demonstrated that the indole group can be replaced with secondary but not tertiary (e.g., N-methyl) aniline-based amides without sacrificing in vitro inhibitory activity. The difference in activity between the secondary and tertiary amides is most likely due to the opposite conformational preferences of the amide bonds, s-trans for the secondary-amide and s-cis for the tertiary-amide. However, it was found that the conformational preference of the tertiary amide can be reversed by incorporating the amide nitrogen atom into an indoline heterocycle, resulting in very potent integrase inhibitors.

Introduction Cosmetic surgery has advanced significantly, with wound closure techniques crucial for determining aesthetic and healing outcomes. Recently, cyanoacrylate glue and subcuticular sutures have gained attention for their unique benefits in cosmetic procedures. Cyanoacrylate glue, a non-invasive tissue adhesive, facilitates faster wound closure with minimal trauma, while subcuticular sutures offer durable, concealed closures, particularly suited for areas under mechanical stress.

Background: Being able to measure informed choice represents a mechanism for service evaluation to monitor whether informed choice is achieved in practice. Approaches to measuring informed choice to date have been based in the biomedical hegemony. Overlooked is the effect of epistemic positioning, that is, how people are positioned as credible knowers in relation to knowledge tested as being relevant for informed choice.

Construction of a nursing management program for early fluid resuscitation in patients with acute pancreatitis: a Delphi study in China.

BMC Nurs

January 2025

General Surgery Department, Tongji Shanxi Hospital, Shanxi Bethune Hospital, Shanxi Academy of Medical Sciences, Third Hospital of Shanxi Medical University, 99 Longcheng street, Taiyuan, 030032, Shanxi province, China.

Aim And Objectives: To construct a set of scientific and feasible nursing management protocols for early fluid resuscitation in acute pancreatitis (AP) patients that can be used to guide clinical practice and enhance the treatment efficacy in these patients.

Background: Fluid resuscitation is a key means of early treatment for AP patients and has become a clinical consensus. Nurses are important practitioners of fluid resuscitation, and there is a lack of specific enforceable nursing management programs.
