Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are implicated in several central nervous system (CNS) pathologies including Alzheimer and Parkinson's diseases. In the face-off of AGE menace, we have attempted to investigate the zinc oxide nanoparticle (ZnONP) role in inhibition of AGE formation. Synthesized ZnONPs were used to investigate the inhibitory effects on AGE formation. The inhibitory effects of ZnONPs on AGE formation were determined by biophysical immunological and biochemical techniques. The results showed that ZnONP is a potential anti-glycating agent inhibiting AGE formation as well as protecting the protein structure from change. Therefore, our findings suggest ZnONPs may be used as a therapeutic in resolving the AGE role in CNS-related complications.

Background: Classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia, primarily due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, leads to impaired cortisol and aldosterone production and excess adrenal androgens. Lifelong glucocorticoid therapy is required, often necessitating supraphysiological doses in youth to manage androgen excess and growth acceleration. These patients experience higher obesity rates, hypertension, and glucose metabolism issues, complicating long-term health management.

Department of Critical Care Medicine, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, 37 Guo Xue Xiang St, Chengdu, 610041, Sichuan, China.
Objective: Early diagnosis of intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICUAW) is crucial for improving the outcomes of critically ill patients. Hence, this study was designed to identify predisposing factors for ICUAW and establish a predictive model for the early diagnosis of ICUAW.
Methods: This prospective observational multicenter study included septic patients from the comprehensive ICUs of West China Hospital of Sichuan University and 10 other hospitals between September and November 2023.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. Triglyceride glucose index (Tyg), a convenient evaluation variable for insulin resistance, has shown associations with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, studies on the Tyg index's predictive value for adverse prognosis in patients with AF without diabetes are lacking.
