文摘OBJECTIVE:To assess the efficacy and safety of the Qingyanyin formulated granules(轻燕饮配方颗粒,QYY),press needles(PN),and their combined application in addressing abdominal obesity(AO).This trial aims to offer a more scientifically grounded therapeutic regimen for clinical interventions.METHODS:From March 2021 to July 2021,a multicenter,triple-blind,randomized 2×2 factorial design clinical trial was conducted across 7 centers in 4 major cities within China's mainland.The trial participants were patients diagnosed with AO.The trial followed a 1∶1∶1∶1 random allocation ratio,assigning participants to one of four groups:QYY placebo plus simulated press needles(SPN)(placebo+SPN),QYY plus SPN(QYY+SPN),QYY placebo plus PN(placebo+PN),and QYY plus PN(QYY+PN).The trial participants received treatment for 12 weeks.Observe the changes in waist circumference,body weight,body mass index(BMI),Beck Depression Inventory(BDI),Beck Anxiety Inventory(BAI)scores,and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)before and after treatment.RESULTS:The QYY+PN group exhibited significant improvements in waist circumference compared to placebo+PN[Difference=-1.59,95%CI(-3.03,-0.16)]and placebo+SPN groups[Difference=-2.01,95%CI(-3.46,-0.57)].QYY+PN demonstrated a significant advantage over placebo+SPN[Difference=-2.01,95%CI(-3.46,-0.57)],and no statistically significant interaction was observed between the two interventions(P>0.05).In terms of weight and BMI improvements,the QYY+PN,QYY+SPN,and the PN+placebo groups all experienced trending greater reductions in weight compared to the placebo group.In terms of the total scores of PSQI,BAI,and BDI,all four groups exhibited improvements compared to the baseline.Specifically,concerning the change in total PSQI scores,the QYY+PN group exhibited a greater reduction;Regarding the change in total BAI scores,the PN+placebo group demonstrated a greater decrease;As for the change in total BDI scores,the QYY+SPN group displayed a greater reduction.CONCLUSION:This study confirmed that QYY+PN can effectively reduce the waist circumference of patients with AO.Furthermore,the combined approach offers greater benefits than either treatment alone,all without any reported serious adverse events.
文摘Chiral N-substituted amino amides and esters are ubiquitous scaffolds in pesticides and pharmaceutical chemicals,but their asymmetric synthesis remains challenging especially for those with multiple chiral centers.In this study,IR104 from Streptomyces aureocirculatus was identified from 157 wild-type imine reductases for the synthesis of(S)-2-((R)-2-oxo-4-propylpyrrolidin-1-yl)butanamide(antiepileptic drug Brivaracetam)via dynamic kinetic resolution reductive amination from ethyl 3-formylhexanoate and(S)-2-aminobutylamide with high diastereoselectivity.To further improve the catalytic efficiency of IR104,its mutant D191E/L195I/E253S/M258A(M3)was identified by saturation mutagenesis and iterative combinatorial mutagenesis,which exhibited a 102-fold increase in the catalytic efficiency relative to that of wild-type enzyme and high diastereoselectivity(98:2 d.r.).Crystal structural analysis and molecular dynamics simulations provided some insights into the molecular basis for the improved activity of the mutant enzyme.The imine reductase identified in this study could accept chiral amino amides/esters as amino donors for the dynamic kinetic resolution reductive amination of racemicα-substituted aldehydo-esters,expanding the substrate scope of imine reductases in the dynamic kinetic resolution-reductive amination.Finally,IR104-M3 was successfully used for the preparation of Brivaracetam at gram scale.Using this mutant,various N-substituted amino amides/esters with two chiral centers were also synthesized with up to 99:1 d.r.and 96%yields and subsequently converted intoγ-andδ-lactams,providing an efficient protocol for the synthesis of these important compounds via enzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution-reductive amination from simple building blocks.

文摘Stroke,particularly ischemic stroke,is the leading cause of long-term disability and mortality worldwide.It occurs due to the occlusion of the cerebral arteries,which significantly reduces the delivery of blood,oxygen,and essential nutrients to brain tissues.This deprivation triggers a cascade of cellular events that ultimately leads to neuronal death.Recent studies have clarified the multifactorial pathogenesis of ischemic stroke,highlighting the roles of energy failure,excitotoxicity,oxidative stress,neuroinflammation,and apoptosis.This review aimed to provide a comprehensive insight into the fundamental mechanisms driving neuronal death triggered by ischemia and to examine the progress of neuroprotective therapeutic approaches designed to mitigate neuronal loss and promote neurological recovery after a stroke.Additionally,we explored widely accepted findings regarding the potential pathways implicated in neuronal death during ischemic stroke,including the interplay of apoptosis,autophagy,pyroptosis,ferroptosis,and necrosis,which collectively influence neuronal fate.We also discussed advancements in neuroprotective therapeutics,encompassing a range of interventions from pharmacological modulation to stem cell-based therapies,aimed at reducing neuronal injury and enhancing functional recovery following ischemic stroke.Despite these advancements,challenges remain in translating mechanistic insights into effective clinical therapies.Although neuroprotective strategies have shown promise in preclinical models,their efficacy in human trials has been inconsistent,often due to the complex pathology of ischemic stroke and the timing of interventions.In conclusion,this review synthesizes mechanistic insights into the intricate interplay of molecular and cellular pathways driving neuronal death post-ischemia.It sheds light on cutting-edge advancements in potential neuroprotective therapeutics,underscores the promise of regenerative medicine,and offers a forward-looking perspective on potential clinical breakthroughs.The ongoing evolution of precision-targeted interventions is expected to significantly enhance preventative strategies and improve clinical outcomes.

文摘The Dynamical Density Functional Theory(DDFT)algorithm,derived by associating classical Density Functional Theory(DFT)with the fundamental Smoluchowski dynamical equation,describes the evolution of inhomo-geneous fluid density distributions over time.It plays a significant role in studying the evolution of density distributions over time in inhomogeneous systems.The Sunway Bluelight II supercomputer,as a new generation of China’s developed supercomputer,possesses powerful computational capabilities.Porting and optimizing industrial software on this platform holds significant importance.For the optimization of the DDFT algorithm,based on the Sunway Bluelight II supercomputer and the unique hardware architecture of the SW39000 processor,this work proposes three acceleration strategies to enhance computational efficiency and performance,including direct parallel optimization,local-memory constrained optimization for CPEs,and multi-core groups collaboration and communication optimization.This method combines the characteristics of the program’s algorithm with the unique hardware architecture of the Sunway Bluelight II supercomputer,optimizing the storage and transmission structures to achieve a closer integration of software and hardware.For the first time,this paper presents Sunway-Dynamical Density Functional Theory(SW-DDFT).Experimental results show that SW-DDFT achieves a speedup of 6.67 times within a single-core group compared to the original DDFT implementation,with six core groups(a total of 384 CPEs),the maximum speedup can reach 28.64 times,and parallel efficiency can reach 71%,demonstrating excellent acceleration performance.
文摘This work’s goal was to compile a list of fishing-related violations in order to suggest ways to enhance the surveillance system.In order to accomplish this goal,the following approach was used:Executive consultation and archive exploitation;surveillance agent survey;surveillance system identification and description;identification of offenses and fleet involved in the Guinean exclusive and economic area in recent years;identification and categorization of offense causes;surveillance system evaluation;and suggestion for enhanced surveillance system measures.Monitoring of this strategy showed that:fishing operating zones,administrative paperwork,and fishing gear are all linked to the infractions committed in the Guinean exclusive and economic zone.Records show that there were 308 boardings between 2006 and 2021.IP(Intellectual Property)infringement rates are 59%,Motorized Artisanal Fishing is 25%,and Semi-industrial fishing is 16%.In Motorized Artisanal Fishing,the Guineans have committed 33,the Senegalese have committed 23,and the Leonese have committed 18.In Semi-industrial fishing,the Chinese have committed 17 and the Senegalese have committed 16.According to the stakeholder survey,Vessal Monitoring System monitored 79 vessels in industrial fishing and 49 in Semi-industrial fishing in 2021.Registration certificates,personnel,rescue gear,gross tonnage,coastal state fishing authority,and maritime radio license are typically the primary documents examined at sea.From 2006 to 2022,a total of 135 fleets-80 demersal trawlers,7 cephalopod boats,21 shrimp boats,22 pelagic trawlers,and 5 cargo ships-were implicated in violations in the Guinean exclusive and economic area.By integrating the automatic identification system and Vessal Monitoring systems for fisheries surveillance,establishing a marking system for fishing gear,investing in highly effective launches,and protecting the privacy of patrol activities,Guinea’s surveillance system might be improved more effectively.

文摘Introduction:With the incidence of chronic kidney disease(CKD)increasing year by year,it is particularly important to intervene in the early stage of CKD(stages 1–3).Unfortunately,the effective drug treatment methods for CKD(stages 1–3)are lacking.Guben Tongluo Formula(GTF)is the experience formula of Professor Liqun He,a famous traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)doctor in Shanghai.Our previous studies demonstrated that GTF might effectively alleviate CKD via multi-mechanisms.As the first angiotensin-2 receptor antagonist for treating hypertension,losartan potassium(LP)could effectively reduce blood pressure,decrease cardiovascular risk,and delay the occurrence of end-stage renal disease.Thus,we design this clinical protocol of GTF combining LP to observe the efficacy and safety of GTF and try to provide a novel drug treatment method for treating CKD(stages 1–3)patients.Methods and analysis:This is a multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial.160 participants will be enrolled in this trial and divided into LP group,GTF group,LP+GTF group,and placebo group randomly assigning 1:1:1:1 principle.LP group will receive general treatments combining LP,GTF group will receive general treatments combining GTF,and the GTF+LP group will receive general treatments combining GTF and LP.Placebo group will receive general treatments combining placebo treatment.The primary evaluation index will be the change of serum creatinine after treatment.Secondary evaluation indexes include changes in blood urea nitrogen,serum uric acid,estimated glomerular filtration rate,etc.;immune indicators and renal fibrosis indicators,as well as TCM symptoms.Besides,vital sign indicators and adverse events will be closely observed.Ethics and dissemination:The protocol has been approved by the Ethics Committee of Seventh People’s Hospital of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine(reference number:2024-7th-HIRB-094)and other ethics committees at each center.With the implementation of this clinical trial,it would offer a TCM formula for the treatment of CKD(stages 1–3)and clarify the underlying mechanism of GTF for alleviating CKD.Trial registration:This trial is registered with ChiCTR2400090125 and registered on September 24,2024.
