A number of 2-cyanoindan-1,3-diones and 3-cyano-4-hydroxycoumarins have been prepared and assessed for potential antiallergy activity as measured by their ability to inhibit passive cutaneous anaphylaxis in the rat, mediated by rat serum containing antigen specific IgE. The structural requirements for activity were similar not only for both series of compounds but also for the analogous 2-nitroindan-1,3-diones and 4-hydroxy-3-nitrocoumarins previously reported. The most active compounds were 2-cyano-5,6-diethylindan-1,3-dione (4e) and 3-cyano-6,7-diethyl-4-hydroxycoumarin (11h).

Background: Both air pollution and low socioeconomic status (SES) are associated with worse cognitive function. The extent to which low SES may compound the adverse effect of air pollution on cognitive function remains unclear.
Methods: 7,087 older adults aged 65 and above were included from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) and followed up in 4 waves during 2008-2018.

Temozolomide, a widely used alkylating agent for glioblastoma treatment, faces significant challenges due to the development of resistance, which severely impacts patient survival. This underscores the urgent need for novel strategies to overcome this barrier. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK), an intracellular non-receptor tyrosine kinase, is highly expressed in glioblastoma cells and has been identified as a promising therapeutic target for anti-glioblastoma drug development.

Background: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) comprise thousands of fluorinated chemicals. They are of growing concern because many PFAS compounds are persistent and toxic. Food contact materials (FCM) containing PFAS pose multiple exposure pathways to humans, prompting twelve states to enact laws banning FCM with PFAS levels exceeding 100 ppm of TOF.

Freezing extends the shelf life of foods but often leads to structural damage due to ice crystal formation, negatively impacting quality attributes. Oscillating magnetic field (OMF)-assisted supercooling has emerged as a potential technique to overcome these limitations by inhibiting ice nucleation and maintaining foods in a supercooled state. Despite its potential, the effectiveness and underlying mechanisms of OMF-assisted supercooling remain subjects of debate.

Fraud in alcoholic beverages through counterfeiting and adulteration is rising, significantly impacting companies economically. This study aimed to develop a method using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy (1596-2396 nm) through the bottle, along with machine learning (ML) modeling for beer authentication, quality traits, and control assessment. For this study, 25 commercial beers from different brands, styles, and three types of fermentation were used.
