The preparation of all four stereoisomers of the proline analog that bears a phenyl group attached to the β carbon either cis or trans to the carboxylic acid (cis- and trans-β-phenylproline, respectively) has been addressed. The methodology developed allows access to multigram quantities of the target amino acids in enantiomerically pure form and suitably protected for use in peptide synthesis. Racemic precursors of cis-β-phenylproline and trans-β-phenylproline were prepared from easily available starting materials and subjected to high-performance liquid chromatography enantioseparation. Semipreparative columns (250 × 20 mm) containing chiral stationary phases based on amylose (Chiralpak IA) (Daicel-Chiral Technologies Europe, Illkirch, France) or cellulose (Chiralpak IC) were used respectively for the resolution of the cis- and trans-β-phenylproline precursors.

Background: Evidence on the association of dynamic change in frailty index (FI) with risk of all-cause mortality in the older Chinese population is limited. This study aimed to explore the association of 3-year change in FI with risk of all-cause mortality in an older Chinese population.
Methods: We analyzed the data of 4969 participants from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey.

Background And Aims: Previous studies have yielded mixed results on the connection between dietary omega-3 and omega-6 intakes and the risk of hypertension (HTN) incidents. Therefore, we conducted a study to survey the connection between baseline dietary intake of omega-3, omega-6, and omega-6 to omega 3 (omega-6/3) fatty acids (FA) and the risk of hypertension.
Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study and assessed dietary intake through a 118-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ).

Peptidyl prolyl cis/trans isomerases (PPIases), a ubiquitously distributed superfamily of enzymes, associated with signal transduction, trafficking, assembly, biofilm formation, stress tolerance, cell cycle regulation, gene expression and tissue regeneration, is a key regulator of metabolic disorders and microbial virulence. This review assumes an integrative approach, to provide a holistic overview of the structural and functional diversity of PPIases, examining their conformational dynamics, cellular distribution, and physiological significance. We explore their intricate involvement in cellular processes and virulence modulation in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic systems.

Objective: In recent years, the management of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) has fallen into two categories: planned hysterectomy and conservative management to preserve fertility. However, optimal management remains unclear. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing the two to evaluate which approach was associated with lower surgical morbidity.

Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with exacerbations which can reduce quality of life and increase mortality. Single-inhaler triple therapy (SITT) is recommended for maintenance treatment of COPD among patients experiencing exacerbations despite dual-therapy use. This real-world comparative effectiveness study compared the impact of SITTs, fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol (FF/UMEC/VI), and budesonide/glycopyrrolate/formoterol fumarate (BUD/GLY/FORM), on COPD exacerbations and mortality.
