A simple synthesis and biological properties of 1,3-diphenyl-2-propen-1-ones 18-22 and 25-26 are described. The key synthetic strategies involve Grignard reaction of aldehyde 2 and oxidation reaction of 8-12 in high yields. The prepared compounds 18-22 and 25-26 were evaluated for free-radical scavenging, suppression of LPS-induced NO generation, and anti-excitotoxicity in vitro. It was found that a couple of compounds, especially 21 and 26, were potent suppressors of NO generation and demonstrated anti-excitotoxicity with the concentration range 10-20 microM in vitro.

Background: Heat shock proteins (HSPs) function as molecular chaperones with critical roles in chicken embryogenesis, immune response to infectious diseases, and response to various environmental stresses. However, little is known on HSP genes in chicken. In this study, to understand the roles of chicken HSPs, we performed genome-wide identification, expression, and functional analyses of the HSP family genes in chicken.

Background: Currently, there is no consensus on the number of defibrillation attempts that should be made before transfer to a hospital in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). This study aimed to evaluate the association between the number of defibrillations and a sustained prehospital return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).
Methods: A retrospective analysis of a multicentre, prospectively collected, registry-based study in Republic of Korea was conducted for OHCA patients with prehospital defibrillation.

The aim of this study was a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on conformation traits using 25,486 genotyped Czech Holsteins, with 35,227 common SNPs for each genotype. Linear trait records were collected between 1995 and 2020. The Interbull information from Multiple Across Country Evaluation (MACE) was included for bulls that mostly had daughter records in a foreign country.

Endothermy underpins the ecological dominance of mammals and birds in diverse environmental settings. However, it is unclear when this crucial feature emerged during mammalian evolutionary history, as most of the fossil evidence is ambiguous. Here we show that this key evolutionary transition can be investigated using the morphology of the endolymph-filled semicircular ducts of the inner ear, which monitor head rotations and are essential for motor coordination, navigation and spatial awareness.

The aim of the research was to check whether it is possible to use fragments of type IV collagen to obtain, as a result of self-assembling, stable spatial structures that could be used to prepare new materials useful in regenerative medicine. Collagen IV fragments were obtained by using DMT/NMM/TosO as a coupling reagent. The ability to self-organize and form stable spatial structures was tested by the CD method and microscopic techniques.
