The first total synthesis of (-)-achilleol B was achieved using a convergent approach with a longest linear sequence of 14 steps. Three key steps were employed, including an enantioselective Robinson annelation for the construction of the bicyclic moiety. The monocyclic synthon was prepared through a Ti(III)-mediated cylization of a chiral monoepoxide obtained via asymmetric dihydroxylation of geranylacetone. The asymmetric preparation of these subunits also permitted us to achieve the enantioselective synthesis of elegansidiol, achilleol A, and farnesiferol B.

The development and progression of osteoarthritis (OA) are believed to involve inflammation. This study aimed to investigate the effects of applying therapeutic ultrasound (US) to human osteoarthritic chondrocytes in continuous and pulsed modes on cell proliferation and proinflammatory cytokine levels. Human osteoarthritic chondrocytes (HC-OA 402OA-05a) were proliferated in appropriate media and then seeded into culture plates.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effects of Chiglitazar combined with Rosa roxburghii Tratt (RRT) in inpatients diagnosed with psychiatric disorders and antipsychotic-induced metabolic syndrome (MetS).100 cases were included and divided into the Siglitazar group (n=50) and the Siglitazar + RRT group (n=50) Anthropometric measurements, lipid and glucose metabolism indicators, inflammatory markers and PANSS scores were assessed at baseline, 8 weeks and 12 weeks post-treatment. Both treatment groups exhibited significant reductions in waist circumference and improvements in lipid profiles and glucose metabolism indicators over the 12-week study period.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most common chronic diseases worldwide, with no cure at present. Vitamin D (VD) is a fat-soluble vitamin, which has been recognized as one of the major influencing factors of T2DM. However, the specific relationship between T2DM and VD remains elusive.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated the rapid availability of evidence to respond in a timely manner to the needs of practice settings and decision-makers in health and social services. Now that the pandemic is over, it is time to put in place actions to improve the capacity of systems to meet knowledge needs in a situation of crisis. The main objective of this project was thus to develop an action plan for the rapid syntheses of evidence in times of health crisis in Quebec (Canada).
