RESUMO
A visible-light-promoted cascade cyclization of 3-ethynyl-[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-carbonitriles with unsaturated α-bromocarbonyls for the synthesis of tetrahydrobenzo[mn]cyclopenta[b]acridines is described. Three C(sp3)-C(sp2) bonds, one C(sp2)-N bond, and three cycles can be formed in a single reaction through the addition of a C-centered radical to the carbon-carbon triple bond and three radical cyclizations. This reaction features mild conditions, wide substrate scope, and high bond-forming efficiency.

RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of Cyr61 on imatinib (IM) resistance in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and its mechanism. METHODS: Cyr61 level in cell culture supernatant was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The expression of Cyr61 and Bcl-xL were measured by real-time PCR and Western blot. Cell apoptosis was analyzed using an Annexin V-APC Kit. Expression of signal pathways related proteins was determined by Western blot. RESULTS: The level of Cyr61 obviously increased in K562G cells (IM resistance to CML cell line K562). Down-regulating the expression of Cyr61 decreased the resistance of K562G cells to IM and promoted IM induced apoptosis. In CML mouse model, down-regulating the expression of Cyr61 could increase the sensitivity of K562G cells to IM. The mechanism studies showed that Cyr61 mediated IM resistance in CML cells was related to the regulation of ERK1/2 pathways and apoptosis related molecule Bcl-xL by Cyr61. CONCLUSION: Cyr61 plays an important role in promoting IM resistance of CML cells. Targeting Cyr61 or its related effectors pathways may be one of the ways to overcome IM resistance of CML cells.

This study assessed and explored the pharmacological effects and mechanisms of action of IMMH002 {2-amino-2-(2-(4ʹ-(2-ethyloxazol-4-yl)-[1,1ʹ-biphenyl]-4-yl)ethyl)propane-1,3-dio}, a selective sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor subtype 1 (S1P1) modulator, in a concanavalin A (ConA)-induced autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) mouse model. The experimental protocol strictly adhered to the guidelines of the Ethics Committee for Animal Research of the Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College (Approval No.: 00004046). Male ICR mice were pre-treated with the drug for four days, followed by induction of AIH through tail vein injection of ConA protein. Liver function, hepatic tissue pathology, peripheral blood parameters, as well as immunoglobulin G (IgG), inflammatory cytokines, T cell distribution, and inflammatory pathways were evaluated in mice. Results demonstrated that IMMH002 significantly reduced liver function indicators such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alleviated hepatic tissue inflammation and necrotic damage, decreased serum IgG levels, and lowered the expression of inflammatory mediators including interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin 1β (IL-1β), and interferon γ (IFN-γ). Additionally, it facilitated T lymphocyte homing, downregulated the phosphorylation of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB), IκB kinase β (IKKβ) and nuclear factor inhibitor protein-α (IκBα) proteins in hepatic tissue and cellular inflammation models. Collectively, IMMH002 effectively ameliorated ConA-induced autoimmune hepatitis in mice, exhibiting extensive anti-inflammatory and anti-necrotic effects, thereby laying a theoretical foundation for AIH clinical treatment.
RESUMO
Objective: To explore the prognostic factors of extracellular NK/T cell lymphoma (ENKTL) treated with pegaspargase/L-asparaginase. Methods: The clinical data of 656 ENKTL patients diagnosed at 11 medical centers in the Huaihai Lymphoma Working Group from March 2014 to April 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: a training set (460 cases) and a validation set (196 cases) at 7∶3, and the prognostic factors of the patients were analyzed. A prognostic scoring system was established, and the predictive performance of different models was compared. Results: Patients' median age was 46 (34, 57) years, with 456 males (69.5% ) and 561 nasal involvement (85.5% ). 203 patients (30.9% ) received a chemotherapy regimen based on L-asparaginase combined with anthracyclines, and the 5-year overall survival rate of patients treated with P-GEMOX regimen (pegaspargase+gemcitabine+oxaliplatin) was better than those treated with SMILE regimen (methotrexate+dexamethasone+cyclophosphamide+L-asparaginase+etoposide) (85.9% vs 63.8% ; P=0.004). The results of multivariate analysis showed that gender, CA stage, the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) score, HGB, and EB virus DNA were independent influencing factors for the prognosis of ENKTL patients (P<0.05). In this study, the predictive performance of the prognostic factors is superior to the international prognostic index, Korean prognostic index, and prognostic index of natural killer lymphoma. Conclusion: Gender, CA stage, ECOG PS score, HGB, and EB virus DNA are prognostic factors for ENKTL patients treated with pegaspargase/L-asparaginase.

Materials with excellent high-temperature strength are now sought for applications in hypersonics, fusion reactors, and aerospace technologies. Conventional alloys and eutectic multiprincipal-element alloys (MPEAs) exhibit insufficient strengths at high temperatures due to low melting points and microstructural instabilities. Here, we report a strategy to achieve exceptional high-temperature microstructural stability and strength by introducing eutectic carbide in a refractory MPEA. The synergistic strengthening effects from the multiprincipal-element mixing and strong dislocation blocking at the interwoven metal-carbide interface make the eutectic MPEA not only have outstanding high-temperature strength (>2 GPa at 1473 K) but also alleviate the room-temperature brittleness through microcrack tip blunting by layered metallic phase. This strategy offers a paradigm for the design of the next-generation high-temperature materials to bypass the low-melting point limitation of eutectic alloys and diffusion-dominated softening in conventional superalloys.
RESUMO
Aim To investigate the protective effect of sinomenine(SIN)against dibutyltin(DBT)induced injury in HL02 cells and explore the potential mechanism.Methods HL02 cells were cultured and divided into control,model and SIN-treated groups.Cell proliferation was detected by MTT method.Cell morphology was observed.Cell apoptosis was detected by Acridine orange/ethidium bromide(AO/EB)fluorescent staining and Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining.Meanwhile,intracellular reactive oxygen species(ROS)concentration was detected by DCFH-DA staining.Mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP)was tested by JC-1 dye.Moreover,the mRNA expression of apoptosis-related proteins was detected by qRT-PCR,and the protein expression of Bcl-2,Bax,caspase-9,cleaved-caspase-3 were measured via Western blot.Results The pretreatment with SIN increased the cell viability and decreased morphological changes induced by DBT in a dose-dependent manner.Meanwhile,cell apoptotic rates and intracellular ROS decreased,and the loss of MMP was partially restored.Compared to DBT-treated group,SIN treatment could increase the mRNA levels of Bcl-2,Bcl-xL and decrease the mRNA levels of Bax,Bad,cytochrome-c,Apaf-1,caspase-9 and caspase-3.Furthermore,SIN could significantly up-regulated the DBT-induced decrease in Bcl-2/Bax ratio,and down-regulated the DBT-induced over-expressions of caspase-9 and cleaved-caspase-3.Conclusions SIN could protect HL02 cells against DBT-induced cell injury,which is related to the inhibition of ROS-mediated mitochondrial apoptosis.
RESUMO
A novel annulation of 2-cyanoaryl acrylamides via CâC double bond cleavage has been developed for facile and efficient access to a broad spectrum of functionalized 4-amino-2-quinolones, which are important N-heterocycles. In this transformation, the solvent THF is demonstrated to play a crucial role, and the addition of alkyl radicals to nitrile, 1,5-hydride shift, and cleavage of the C-C bond are involved in the mechanism.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the influence of bone marrow involvement (BMI) in patients with malignant lymphoma (ML) on laboratory indexes, and evaluate the laboratory markers that can be used to predict/diagnose BMI. METHODS: The clinical characteristics and laboratory indexes of 137 ML patients were analyzed retrospectively, from which the indexes of BMI in ML patients was studied. The logistic regression analysis and receiver operating curve (ROC) were used to evaluate independent risk factors and predictors of BMI diagnosis in ML patients. RESULTS: Compared with non-BMI group, the red blood cell distribution width, C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, D-dimer, lactate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase, ß2-microglobulin, transferrin, CA153, CA125, and soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) levels were increased while platelet (PLT) count was decreased in BMI group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The blood indexes related to BMI and the statistically significant indexes in the univariate regression analysis were corrected by multivariate logistic regression analysis. The corrected results showed that T cell-related non-Hodgkin lymphoma (adjusted OR=2.18, 95%CI: 1.48-4.90, Pï¼0.001), clinical stage â ¢-â £ (adjusted OR=3.32, 95%CI: 2.16-5.83, Pï¼0.001), sIL-2R (adjusted OR=4.26, 95%CI: 2.95-12.85, Pï¼0.001) were the risk factors for ML patients with BMI, while PLT (adjusted OR=0.89, 95%CI: 0.55-0.96, P= 0.003) was a protective factor. ROC analysis showed that the areas under the ROC curve of PLT and sIL-2R predicting BMI in ML patients was 0.712 (95%CI: 0.646-0.776, P<0.001) and 0.796 (95%CI: 0.739-0.853, P<0.001), respectively. The best cut-off point of PLT and sIL-2R was 160×109/L and 2 568 U/ml, respectively. The diagnostic specificities of the two indexes here were both greater than 80%. CONCLUSION: PLT and sIL2R show good diagnostic value for ML patients with BMI.

AIMS: This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of Cordyceps sinensis-derived fungus Isaria felina on experimental autoimmune thyroiditis (EAT). METHODS: A NaI-induced EAT mouse model was established. The mice received oral administration of vehicle, low-dose Isaria felina (300 mg/kg), or high-dose Isaria felina (600 mg/kg) once a day for four weeks before euthanasia. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) was performed to measure serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, thyroid antibodies, and cytokines. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining was conducted to assess histopathological changes in the thyroid tissue samples of mice. TUNEL and Bcl-2 immunohistochemistry (IHC) were performed to evaluate cell apoptosis, and cleaved caspase-3 IHC was performed to detect the relative expression in the thyroid tissue samples. RESULTS: Compared with KIO3 and KI water, NaI water consumption successfully induced EAT in mice, as evidenced by significantly increased circulating TSH and thyroid antibody levels, along with typical histopathological abnormalities of autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) in the thyroid tissue samples. Compared with vehicle or low-dose Isaria felina, high-dose Isaria felina treatment resulted in significant reductions in white cell counts and circulating TSH, thyroid antibody, and cytokine levels of EAT mice. High-dose Isaria felina also alleviated histopathological abnormalities and attenuated TUNEL staining, Bcl-2 protein expression, and cleaved caspase-3 expression in the thyroid tissue samples. CONCLUSION: High-dose Isaria felina treatment alleviates thyroid inflammation and cell apoptosis in EAT, serving as a novel, promising therapeutic agent for AIT.

In an effort to discover new agents with high anti-inflammatory activity, 22 new 4-sulfonyloxy/alkoxy benzoxazolone derivatives were synthesized, characterized, and evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activities against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production and TNF-α expression in RAW 264.7 cells in vitro. Most of these compounds displayed greater inhibitory ability against NO production than the lead compound 4-o-methyl-benzenesulfonyl benzoxazolone, and the most active compound 2h exhibited the strongest inhibitory activity against NO, IL-1ß, and IL-6 production with IC50 values 17.67, 20.07, and 8.61 µΜ, respectively. The effects of 2h were comparable or stronger than those of the positive control celecoxib. Compound 2h also displayed higher activity in vivo than celecoxib in a mouse model of xylene-induced ear edema, based on their inhibitory rates of 42.69% and 30.87%, respectively. Further molecular analysis revealed that compound 2h significantly reduced the iNOS levels in cell supernatant and suppressed the protein expression of iNOS, p-p38, p-ERK, and nuclear NF-κB. The results indicated that the anti-inflammatory effect of 2h might be realized through the regulation of ERK- and p38-mediated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-NF-κB/iNOS signaling, thereby reducing the excessive release of NO, IL-1ß, and IL-6. Our findings demonstrated that compound 2h, a new benzoxazolone derivative, could inhibit activation of the MAPK-NF-κB/iNOS pathway, supporting its potential as a novel anti-inflammatory agent.

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Guilingji (GLJ), a famous and classical traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescription, has been used to extend the lifespan and improve the life qualities of the elderly for hundreds of years in China. AIM OF THE STUDY: We aimed to explore the protective effects of GLJ on the testicular dysfunction of aging rats, as well as the regulating effects of GLJ on the metabolic disturbance and metabolite changes in natural aging rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty 23-month-old rats were divided randomly into four groups, including the old control group and three groups of GLJ treatment at 37.5, 75, and 150â¯mg/kg doses, respectively. Additionally, 10 four-month rats were included as the youth control group. Testicular dysfunction was first evaluated by measuring the changes in the wet weights of the testicles, concentration of serum testosterone (T), and morphologic changes of the testis. Subsequently, an 1H NMR-based metabolomics approach coupled with multivariate analysis, including partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) was applied to monitor the metabolite changes. RESULTS: Compared with the old control group, the wet weights of the testicles and T concentration were significantly increased, while the morphologic abnormality of testicular tissues was improved by a 4-week treatment course with GLJ. Furthermore, compared with the old control group, the urinary levels of alanine, pantothenate, phenylalanine, ß-hydroxybutyrate and pyruvate were significantly decreased after a 4-week treatment course with GLJ. Additionally, we found that amino acid metabolism and pyruvate metabolism were significantly involved in the regulatory effect of GLJ. CONCLUSIONS: The current findings provided, for the first time, sound evidence of the protective effects of GLJ on testicular dysfunction from both biochemical and metabolomics perspectives. The mechanisms of GLJ could be related to regulating amino acid metabolism and pyruvate metabolism. The current study lays an important foundation for further research and for the broad clinical application of GLJ.

RESUMO
Oxygen, one of the most abundant elements on Earth, often forms an undesired interstitial impurity or ceramic phase (such as an oxide particle) in metallic materials. Even when it adds strength, oxygen doping renders metals brittle1-3. Here we show that oxygen can take the form of ordered oxygen complexes, a state in between oxide particles and frequently occurring random interstitials. Unlike traditional interstitial strengthening4,5, such ordered interstitial complexes lead to unprecedented enhancement in both strength and ductility in compositionally complex solid solutions, the so-called high-entropy alloys (HEAs)6-10. The tensile strength is enhanced (by 48.5 ± 1.8 per cent) and ductility is substantially improved (by 95.2 ± 8.1 per cent) when doping a model TiZrHfNb HEA with 2.0 atomic per cent oxygen, thus breaking the long-standing strength-ductility trade-off11. The oxygen complexes are ordered nanoscale regions within the HEA characterized by (O, Zr, Ti)-rich atomic complexes whose formation is promoted by the existence of chemical short-range ordering among some of the substitutional matrix elements in the HEAs. Carbon has been reported to improve strength and ductility simultaneously in face-centred cubic HEAs12, by lowering the stacking fault energy and increasing the lattice friction stress. By contrast, the ordered interstitial complexes described here change the dislocation shear mode from planar slip to wavy slip, and promote double cross-slip and thus dislocation multiplication through the formation of Frank-Read sources (a mechanism explaining the generation of multiple dislocations) during deformation. This ordered interstitial complex-mediated strain-hardening mechanism should be particularly useful in Ti-, Zr- and Hf-containing alloys, in which interstitial elements are highly undesirable owing to their embrittlement effects, and in alloys where tuning the stacking fault energy and exploiting athermal transformations13 do not lead to property enhancement. These results provide insight into the role of interstitial solid solutions and associated ordering strengthening mechanisms in metallic materials.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Great attention has been paid to the development of novel anti-inflammatory drugs to overcome the adverse reactions of traditional drugs. Recently, a new compound 4-o-methyl-benzenesulfonyl benzoxazolone (MBB) we have prepared attracted our attention for its promising anti-inflammatory activity and low toxicity. The present study aimed to further investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of MBB both in vivo and in vitro in order to determine its potential as a novel NSAIDs lead compound. METHODS: The anti-inflammatory effects in vivo were evaluated using acetic acid-induced mice writhing, xylene-induced mice ear edema and collagen-induced rat arthritis. NO, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1ß and iNOS productions by LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells were determined to investigate the basis of anti-inflammatory effects. Finally, the COX inhibition effect was tested in vitro using COX inhibitor screening assay kit. RESULTS: MBB could significantly decrease the writhing and ear swelling in a dose-dependent manner, and it also had a moderate anti-arthritic potential associated with an attenuation of arthritis index score, arthritis swelling, and inhibition of TNF-α and IL-1ß. MBB could inhibit the activity of NO, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1ß and iNOS to perform its activity in vitro, but it had no effect against COX-1 and COX-2. The anti-inflammation effect may be mediated via the inhibition of iNOS to reduce the production of inflammatory mediators which should be further confirmed. CONCLUSIONS: The compound MBB displayed anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic effect, and it could be considered as a new NSAIDs lead compound for the further structure modification to develop novel anti-inflammatory drugs.

In this study, mechanical tests were conducted on a face-centered cubic FeCoNiCrMn high-entropy alloy, both in tension and compression, in a wide range of strain rates (10-4-104â¯s-1) to systematically investigate its dynamic response and underlying deformation mechanism. Materials with different grain sizes were tested to understand the effect of grain size, thus grain boundary volume, on the mechanical properties. Microstructures of various samples both before and after deformation were examined using electron backscatter diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The dislocation structure as well as deformation-induced twins were analyzed and correlated with the measured mechanical properties. Plastic stability during tension of the current high-entropy alloy (HEA), in particular, at dynamic strain rates, was discussed in lights of strain-rate sensitivity and work hardening rate. It was found that, under dynamic conditions, the strength and uniform ductility increased simultaneously as a result of the massive formation of deformation twins. Specifically, an ultimate tensile strength of 734â¯MPa and uniform elongation of â¼63% are obtained at 2.3â¯×â¯103â¯s-1, indicating that the alloy has great potential for energy absorption upon impact loading.
