Exploring the osteogenic effects of simiao wan through activation of the PI3K/AKT pathway in osteoblasts.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Osteoporosis (OP) is a degenerative bone disease commonly associated with reduced bone density and increased fracture risk.

Aim Of The Study: This study aimed to validate the therapeutic effects of Simiao wan (SMW) on OP and explore the underlying mechanism, particularly focusing on the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathway.

Materials And Methods: The chemical components of SMW were identified using UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS.

Discovery of digallic acid as XOD/URAT1 dual target inhibitor for the treatment of hyperuricemia.

The development of XOD/URAT1 dual target inhibitors has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for the management of hyperuricemia. Here, through virtual screening, we have identified digallic acid as a novel dual target inhibitor of XOD/URAT1 and subsequently evaluated its pharmacological properties, pharmacokinetics, and toxicities. Digallic acid inhibited URAT1 with an IC of 5.

Optimizing the robustness of higher-low order coupled networks.

Enhancing the robustness of complex networks is of great practical significance as it ensures the stable operation of infrastructure systems. We measure its robustness by examining the size of the largest connected component of the network after initial attacks. However, traditional research on network robustness enhancement has mainly focused on low-order networks, with little attention given to higher-order networks, particularly higher-low order coupling networks(the largest connected component of the network must exist in both higher-order and low-order networks).

A Survey of Prescription Errors in Paediatric Outpatients in Multi-Primary Care Settings: The Implementation of an Electronic Pre-Prescription System.

Background: Prescription errors impact the safety and efficacy of therapy and are considered to have a higher impact on paediatric populations. Nevertheless, information in paediatrics is still lacking, particularly in primary care settings. There exists a need to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of prescription errors in paediatric outpatients to prevent such errors during the prescription stage.

Discovery of novel verinurad analogs as dual inhibitors of URAT1 and GLUT9 with improved Druggability for the treatment of hyperuricemia.

Verinurad (RDEA3170) is a selective URAT1 inhibitor under investigation for the treatment of gout and hyperuricemia. In an effort to further improve the pharmacodynamics/pharmacokinetics of verinurad and to increase the structural diversity, we designed novel verinurad analogs by introducing a linker (e.g.

Characteristics and requirements of hypertensive patients willing to use digital health tools in the Chinese community: a multicentre cross-sectional survey.

Background: Digital health tools (WeChat or mobile health apps) provide opportunities for new methods of hypertension management for hypertensive patients. However, the willingness of these patients to use social media and mobile health apps for hypertension management remains unclear. This study explored the characteristics and requirements of patients willing to use digital health (WDH) tools to manage hypertension.

Risk factors for contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI): protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Identifying the patients who are at risk for contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI), which is defined as an increase in serum creatinine after exposure to contrast media, is a critical step in targeted prevention strategies. The absolute and relative importance of individual risk factors have not been systematically evaluated, let alone the new, controversial and modifiable risk factors of CI-AKI.

Methods And Analysis: On 1 July 2019, a search was performed on MEDLINE, Embase and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews.
