New compounds from the seeds of with their protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B inhibitory activity.

Two new flavonoids, 5,4'-dihydroxy-6,7-furanbavachalcone (), 1″-methoxy-6,7-furanflavanone (), together with five known compounds (-), were isolated from the seeds of Their structures were elucidated by IR, UV, NMR, HRESMS experiments, and comparison of their NMR data with previously reported data. All compounds were evaluated for inhibitory activity against PTP1B. Additionally, the isolated compounds (-) displayed moderate inhibitory effects against PTP1B with IC values ranging from 10.

Effectiveness of self-testing kits availability on improving HIV testing frequency for chinese men who have sex with men and their sexual partners: a protocol for a multicenter randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: HIV epidemic is increasing among men who have sex with men (MSM) in China, yet HIV testing uptake remains low. As an emerging approach, HIV self-testing (HIVST) has the potential to promote HIV testing coverage and frequency in this population. However, evidence of the effectiveness on implementation of HIVST among Chinese MSM and their sexual partners is scarce.

Effects of transtheoretical model-based intervention on the self-management of patients with an ostomy: A randomised controlled trial.

Aims And Objectives: To determine the effect of a transtheoretical model (TTM)-based intervention on patients with an ostomy and provide patient-centred, accessible assistance and dynamic education to improve patient self-management.

Background: Proper self-management may promote the rehabilitation of patients with an ostomy. TTM-based interventions have resulted in positive health behavioural changes.

Can self-testing increase HIV testing among men who have sex with men: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Globally, four out of ten individuals living with HIV have not been tested for HIV. Testing is especially important for men who have sex with men (MSM), among whom an increasing HIV epidemic has been identified in many regions of the world. As a supplement to site-based HIV testing services, HIV self-testing (HIVST) provides a promising approach to promote HIV testing.
