Published: August 2015

Eight indole alkaloids, melosines A-H, together with 13 known alkaloids, were isolated from the fruits of Melodinus cochinchinensis. The structure elucidation of isolated secondary metabolites was based on comprehensive spectroscopic data analysis. Melosine B showed moderate cytotoxic activity against five human cancer cell lines, HL-60, SMMC-7721, A-549, MCF-7, and SW480 with IC50 values ranging from 1.6 to 8.1μM.

Background: Assessing tau accumulation in early affected areas like the lateral entorhinal cortex (EC) and inferior temporal gyrus (ITG) enables early prediction of disease progression and cognitive decline. However, positron emission tomography (PET) imaging poses radiation exposure and cost concerns. This research aims to develop a deep learning model predicting tau positivity in these regions using MRI.

Alzheimers Dement

Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA.

Background: Individuals with preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD) show reduced practice effects on annually repeated neuropsychological testing, suggesting a decreased ability to learn over repeated exposures. Remote, digital testing enables the assessment of learning over more frequent time intervals, thereby facilitating a more rapid detection of those early learning deficits. We previously showed that multi-day learning on the Boston Remote Assessment for Neurocognitive Health (BRANCH) was indeed diminished in Αβ+ cognitively unimpaired (CU) older adults.

Background: PET quantifies tau and amyloid-ß (Aß) pathology in preclinical AD. A 2-min digital clock-drawing test (DCTclock ) captures clock-drawing outcomes and processes, potentially more sensitive to cognitive deficits in preclinical AD than pencil-and-paper tests. The DCTclock summary score comprised subscores targeting multi-domain cognitive performance (i.

Background: Double-expressor lymphoma (DEL) has a poorer prognosis than other subtypes of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). This study is a multicenter, prospective, single-arm, phase 2 clinical study initiated by investigators to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combined zanubrutinib with R-CHOP, which includes rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone for patients with DEL (stage II or more), as well as to explore factors related to efficacy preliminarily.

Methods: From November 2020 to July 2022, 48 newly diagnosed patients were enrolled.

Background And Purpose: Recommended treatment of urothelial muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by cystectomy, but there are challenges with low utilization of NAC. We aimed to evaluate the utilization of NAC, perioperative complications and oncological efficacy in a real-world setting.

Patients And Methods: All patients operated with radical cystectomy at the University Hospital of North Norway during 2011-2021 for MIBC were included.
