Chalcone hybrids and their antimalarial activity

Malaria, one of the most striking, re-emerging infectious diseases caused by the genus Plasmodium, places a huge burden on global healthcare systems. A major challenge in the control and eradication of malaria is the continuous emergence of increasingly widespread drug-resistant malaria, creating an urgent need to develop novel antimalarial agents. Chalcone derivatives are ubiquitous in nature and have become indispensable units in medicinal chemistry applications due to their diverse biological profiles. Many chalcone derivatives demonstrate potential in vitro and in vivo antimalarial activity, so chalcone could be a useful template for the development of novel antimalarial agents. This review covers the recent development of chalcone hybrids as antimalarial agents. The critical aspects of the design and structure–activity relationship of these compounds are also discussed.     

细胞因子白细胞介素-4对认知功能改善的研究进展

白细胞介素4(IL-4)是T辅助2(Th2)介导的免疫反应的基本免疫调节细胞因子,IL-4具有复杂的信号系统和多效的功能,但在脑组织中,诸多研究发现IL-4可在炎症中保护认知功能。该文总结了关于IL-4保护认知功能的证据及机制,以及在阿尔茨海默病、缺血性脑血管病以及手术后认知功能障碍中IL-4保护认知功能的途径及证据。     

胰十二指肠切除术后胃排空障碍的诊疗进展

目的总结胰十二指肠切除术(PD)后胃排空障碍诊疗的现状与进展。方法检索近年来国内外有关PD后胃排空障碍的相关研究文献并进行综述。结果目前胃排空障碍的病因及发病机制尚未完全阐明,与手术创伤、患者高龄、合并糖尿病、伴有其他腹部并发症等多种高危因素有关。保留幽门PD并不增加术后胃排空障碍的风险,而幽门环切除、结肠前吻合、Braun吻合、微创手术对降低其发生是有利的。胃排空障碍的治疗目前国内外仍无明显进展,但绝大多数患者可通过对症保守治疗获得痊愈。结论 PD后胃排空障碍应以预防为主,围术期应用术后加速康复策略可能是目前临床解决术后胃排空障碍的关键所在,但需进一步研究。     

尿干化学法和离心沉渣镜检法检测穿刺羊水母体细胞污染的应用

目的　探讨一种快速简便鉴别羊水母血污染的方案。方法　选取30 例2019 年6~10 月羊水穿刺样本, 检测 羊水及母血DNA，将母血DNA 污染量换算对应体积全血量建立羊水母血DNA 污染梯度模型，运用尿干化学法及离 心沉渣镜检法检测母血污染情况。结果　羊水母血DNA 污染率为5%，10%，20% 和30%，尿干化学法检出率分别为 16.67%，60%，100% 和100%；离心沉渣镜检法检出率分别为60%，100%，100% 和100%。结论　尿干化学法及离心 沉渣镜检法联合检测可更简便快捷地进行羊水母血污染鉴定，检出率与母血DNA 污染率呈正比关系。
