Twenty-five new hits of spirooxindole analogs engrafted with indole and pyrazole scaffolds were designed and constructed a [3+2]cycloaddition (32CA) reaction starting from three components: new chalcone-based indole and pyrazole scaffolds , substituted isatins , and secondary amines . The potency of the compounds were assessed in modulating cholinesterase (AChE) activity using Ellman's method. Compounds and showed the strongest acetylcholine esterase inhibition (AChEI) with IC values of 24.1 and 27.8 μM, respectively. Molecular docking was used to study their interaction with the active site of hAChE.

Purpose: The study evaluated the effects of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) therapy in people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) and a clinical history of Aspergillus fumigatus (AF) infection.
Methods: This prospective cohort study included pwCF who initiated ETI therapy and had received antifungal treatment in the preceding five years due to allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA group) or other AF-related clinical manifestations (AF group). A control group of pwCF with no prior respiratory cultures positive for AF was also included.
Background: Studies showed significant physical improvement after starting elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI). However, some patients reported new mental health symptoms.
Aim: This study explores the impact of ETI on end-stage cystic fibrosis patients, focusing on mental health.

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.

Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor (ETI) is a CFTR modulator therapy approved for people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) who have at least one phe508del mutation. However, its approval in the European Union (EU) for pwCF with non-phe508del mutations is lacking, because data on treatment response in this subgroup are scarce. This retrospective observational study evaluated six pwCF (ages 6 to 66) with responsive CFTR mutations (M1101K, R347P, 2789+5G>A, G551D) undergoing off-label ETI therapy.

Selective inhibition of histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) has emerged as a promising approach for treating various diseases, including cancer. However, finding key structural features for HDAC8 inhibition and developing effective and selective HDAC8 inhibitors (HDAC8s) pose significant challenges. In the past few years, the development of various scaffolds for inhibiting HDAC8 has significantly risen and the quest continues.
