Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) has emerged as a major therapeutic target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The nonapeptide GLP-1 (28-36) amide is one of the biological C-terminal products of GLP-1 modified by the neutral endopeptidase (NEP) 24.11 with limited hypoglycemic activity. In this study, we focused on the modification of GLP-1 (28-36) amide for the first time and synthesized a series of GLP-1 (28-36) amide analogues. Results of biological activity evaluation in INS-1 cell, STZ-induced diabetic and diet induced obesity (DIO) mice indicated that S3 as a promising candidate to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Background: Abortions are common and associated with procedural pain. We aimed to evaluate benefits and harms of local anaesthesia given for pain control during surgical abortion at less than 14 weeks' gestation.
Methods: We searched a systematic review on local anaesthesia for pain control for surgical abortion at less than 14 weeks' gestation using uterine aspiration.

Objectives: During the past few decades, various compounds have been researched for their potential as radioprotectants, and many of them were found to be safe and effective in several preclinical models. However, many of these compounds were found to have serious adverse effects when evaluated in clinical settings, thereby making them unsuitable for human applications. 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) and S-(2-aminoethyl) isothiouronium bromide hydrobromide (AET) act in a synergistic fashion to promote radioprotection.

Objectives: To analyse the clinical characteristics and risk factors for bloodstream infections (BSIs) caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) in neonates.
Methods: This single-centre, retrospective study included all patients with BSIs admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit between 1 January 2015 and 30 April 2022. The clinical and microbiological data of patients were collected; predictors of 30-day mortality in patients with CRE BSIs were also identified in this study.

Background: Abortions prior to 14 weeks are among the most common outpatient surgical procedures performed on people capable of becoming pregnant. Various methods have been used to control pain; however, many people still experience pain with the procedure.
Objectives: To evaluate the benefits and harms of local anaesthesia given for pain control during surgical abortion at less than 14 weeks' gestation.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) has gained much attention in the last decade for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Accumulating evidence indicates that some metabolites of GLP-1 have biological activities that might contribute to the pleiotropic effects of GLP-1 independent of the GLP-1 receptor. The hypoglycemic and weight-reducing effects of the reported metabolites and modifications still need to be confirmed.
