Published: April 2016

The antifungal activities of eleven C21-steroidal compounds isolated from Cynanchum wilfordii, together with thirty-six derivatives of caudatin and qingyangshengenin were evaluated on Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and other five fungal strains by the mycelium growth rate method. Four derivatives 1k, 1y, 10d, and 10j exhibited much stronger inhibitions on growth of S. sclerotiorum with IC50 values of 0.0084, 0.0049, 0.0053, and 0.0034 μM, respectively.

Background: Scientific implementation findings relevant to the implementation of internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) for depression and anxiety in adults remain sparse and scattered across different sources of published information. Identifying evidence-based factors that influence the implementation of iCBT is key to successfully using iCBT in real-world clinical settings.

Objective: This systematic review evaluated the following: (1) aspects that research articles postulate as important for the implementation of iCBT and (2) aspects relevant to the day-to-day running of iCBT services.

: Brain tissue immersed in cerebrospinal fluid often exhibits complex mechanical behaviour, especially the nonlinear stress- strain and rate-dependent responses. Despite extensive research into its material properties, the impact of solution environments on the mechanical behaviour of brain tissue remains limited. This knowledge gap affects the biofidelity of head modelling.

Purpose: This study explores uses of artificial intelligence (AI) in health professions education for non-psychomotor skills training at undergraduate, postgraduate, and continuing health professions education levels for education program development, delivery, and evaluation.

Method: This scoping review was conducted in 5 stages: (1) planning and research, (2) search strategy, (3) screening and selection, (4) review and recording data, and (5) synthesis. Seven bibliographic databases were searched using the main search terms artificial intelligence and continuing health professional education for articles that used AI for the purposes of non-psychomotor skills training for health professions education and involved health care professionals and/or trainees.

Design Strategy of PepNzymes-SH for an Emerging Catalyst with Serine Hydrolase-Like Functionality.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

January 2025

CAS Key Laboratory of Biobased Materials, Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Qingdao 266101, China.

Serine hydrolases, as a class of green catalysts with hydrolytic and dehydrating activities, hold significant application value in the fields of biosynthesis and organic synthesis. However, practical applications face numerous challenges, including maintaining enzyme stability and managing usage costs. PepNzymes-SH, an emerging green catalytic material with enzyme-like activity, overcomes the operational limitations of natural enzymes and holds great promise as a substitute for hydrolases.

Objective: To study the effect of Dapagliflozin on ferroptosis in rabbits with chronic heart failure and to reveal its possible mechanism.

Methods: Nine healthy adult male New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into Sham group (only thorax opening was performed in Sham group, no ascending aorta circumferential ligation was performed), Heart failure group (HF group, ascending aorta circumferential ligation was performed in HF group to establish the animal model of heart failure), and Dapagliflozin group (DAPA group, after the rabbit chronic heart failure model was successfully made in DAPA group). Dapagliflozin was given by force-feeding method.
