Half-Sandwich Iridium Complexes with Hydrazone Ligands: Synthesis and Catalytic Activity in -Alkylation of Anilines or Nitroarenes with Alcohols via Hydrogen Autotransfer.

Here, we synthesize a series of hydrazone-based ,-chelate half-sandwich iridium complexes through a facile route. All air-stable iridium complexes show high catalytic activity in -alkylation of a broad scope of aniline derivatives and alcohols with liberating water as the sole byproduct. This reaction provides a smooth route to synthesize diverse monoalkylated amines in good to excellent yields at moderate temperature with a low catalyst loading.

Scutellaria baicalensis Pith-decayed Root Inhibits Macrophage-related Inflammation Through the NF-κB/NLRP3 Pathway to Alleviate LPS-induced Acute Lung Injury.

Acute lung injury (ALI) is one of the representative "lung heat syndromes" in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). is an herbal medicine used in TCM for treating lung diseases, due to its remarkable anti-inflammatory and antiviral effects. When used in TCM, root is divided into two categories: pith-not-decayed root (SN) and pith-decayed root (SD).

[A review of clinical specifications of Scutellariae Radix pieces in ancient and modern literature].

Scutellariae Radix is a commonly used Chinese medicinal first recorded in the Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica. In the ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), Scutellariae Radix is used in two specifications, solid one(Ziqin) and hollow one(Kuqin). In the current rules and regulations of Chinese medicine, Scutellariae Radix is used without the specific requirements for the specifications applied.

Analysis of risk factors for persistent infection of asymptomatic women with high-risk human papilloma virus.

Objective: This study aims to prevent persistentinfection, reduce the incidence of cervical cancer, and improve women's health by understanding the theoretical basis of the risk factors for continuous infection of asymptomatic women with high-risk human papilloma virus (HPV) strains via information collected, which includes the persistent infection rate and the most prevalent HPV strain types of high risk to asymptomatic women in the high-risk area of cervical cancer in Linfen, Shanxi Province.

Methods: Based on the method of cluster sampling, locations were chosen from the industrial county and agricultural county of Linfen, Shanxi Province, namely the Xiangfen and Quwo counties. Use of the convenience sampling (CS) method enables the identification of women who have sex but without symptoms of abnormal cervix for analyzing risk factors of HPV-DNA detection and performing a retrospective questionnaire survey in these 2 counties.
