Article Abstract

Structure-based virtual screening of two libraries containing 567 981 molecules was used to discover novel, selective BuChE inhibitors, which are potentially superior symptomatic treatments in late-stage Alzheimer's disease. Compound 16 was identified as a highly selective submicromolar inhibitor of BuChE (huBuChE IC50 = 0.443 μM) with high permeability in the PAMPA-BBB model. The X-ray crystal structure of huBuChE in complex with 16 revealed the atomic-level interactions and offers opportunities for further development of the series.

Carbon quantum dot-aptamer/MoS nanosheet fluorescent sensor for ultrasensitive, noninvasive cortisol detection.

Anal Bioanal Chem

This work presents the development of a highly sensitive, selective, and efficient aptamer-based fluorescent sensor for detecting cortisol in human urine. Carbon quantum dots-nucleic acid aptamer (CQDs-Apt) synthesized with excellent photoluminescent properties and stability, were selected as the fluorescent probe. In the presence of MoS-NSs, CQDs-Apt adsorbed onto the surface of MoS-NSs via electrostatic and π-π interactions, leading to strong and rapid fluorescence quenching due to static quenching mechanism between them.

Tamsulosin is a highly selective α1A adrenergic receptor antagonist that can relax smooth muscles in the urethra, bladder neck, and prostate and improve urinary disorders. It is therefore widely used to treat lower urinary tract symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia. The aim of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics and bioequivalence of 2 different formulations (tamsulosin sustained-release tablets and tamsulosin sustained-release capsules) in healthy Chinese subjects.

Separation of ethanol-water azeotrope is extremely challenging. Here, we design and synthesize a new sulfate-pillared metal triazolate framework, which shows sieving-like separation of water/ethanol. A dynamic breakthrough verified the ultrahigh selectivity (145), and it could produce a record-breaking ethanol productivity (3.

AI Model Based on Diaphragm Ultrasound to Improve the Predictive Performance of Invasive Mechanical Ventilation Weaning: Prospective Cohort Study.

JMIR Form Res

Department of Critical Care Medicine, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital (Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences), Southern Medical University, Guangdong Provincial Geriatrics Institute, No. 106, Zhongshaner Rd, Guangzhou, 510080, China, 86 15920151904.

Background: Point-of-care ultrasonography has become a valuable tool for assessing diaphragmatic function in critically ill patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation. However, conventional diaphragm ultrasound assessment remains highly operator-dependent and subjective. Previous research introduced automatic measurement of diaphragmatic excursion and velocity using 2D speckle-tracking technology.

Nucleosome repositioning is essential for establishing nucleosome-depleted regions to initiate transcription. This process has been extensively studied using structural, biochemical, and single-molecule approaches, which require homogeneously positioned nucleosomes. This is often achieved using the Widom 601 sequence, a highly efficient nucleosome-positioning element (NPE) selected for its unusually strong binding to the H3-H4 histone tetramer.
