70 μM). Complex 1 was shown as a potent XO inhibitor, with an IC50 value of 19.33 μM, and the binding mode with the enzyme was predicted by molecular docking. Its inhibitory activity against XO is a potential advantage that might result in improved profile and anticancer activity. © 2020 Deutsche Pharmazeutische Gesellschaft.AIMS To analyse days absent from work related to individual microvascular, macrovascular, and other complications of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and to identify key drivers of absence. MATERIALS AND METHODS National health and socioeconomic individual-level data were analysed for years 1997-2016 for people with T2D, and 51 age-, sex-, and residential region matched controls using Swedish national administrative registers linkage-based on personal identity numbers. Regression analyses accounting for individual-level clustering and education were estimated to obtain days absent by individual complications. Alternative specifications were explored for robustness and comparison e.g. workforce indicator and age subgroups. RESULTS A total of 413 000 people with T2D less then 66 years with 4.9 million person-years was included. Crude proportion with any absence was higher among T2D compared to controls (47% vs 26%) in index-year; and median (IQR) number of days was higher [223 (77;359) vs 196 (59;352)] if any absence. Regression analyses showed that complications per se were a key driver of days absent stroke (+102); end-stage renal disease (+70); severe vision loss (+56); and angina pectoris, heart failure, and osteoarthritis implied +53 days each. Alternative specifications showed similar levels of days absent and age subgroups differed in expected direction. CONCLUSIONS This study provides evidence on the persisting impact on productivity from complications that supports continued efforts to reduce risk factors in T2D. Future studies on burden of disease and economic evaluations of new therapies and disease management may use this new set of complication-specific estimates to improve understanding of the value of reducing complications.

In general, terpenes and cannabidiol content is determined separately which is time-consuming. Thus, a fast Gas Chromatography with Flame Ionization Detection method was validated for simultaneous determination of both terpenes and cannabidiol in hemp. The method enabled a rapid detection of 29 different terpenes and cannabidiol within a total analysis time of 16 min, with satisfactory sensitivity (LOD = 0.03 - 0.27 μg/mL, LOQ = 0.10 - 0.89 μg/mL). The interday and intraday precision (RSD) was less then 7.82 % and less then 3.59 %, respectively. Recoveries at two spiked concentration levels (low, 3.15 μg/mL; high, 20.0 μg/mL) were determined on both apical leaves (78.55 - 101.52 %) and inflorescences (77.52 - 107.10 %). The reproducibility (RSD) was less then 5.94 % and less then 5.51 % in apical leaves and inflorescences, respectively. The proposed and validated method is highly sensitive, robust, fast, and accurate for determination of the main terpenes and cannabidiol in hemp and could be routinely used for quality control.

The diagnostic value of the ECG voltage criteria used to screen for left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) may depend on the presence and degree of myocardial fibrosis. Fibrosis can cause other changes in ECG parameters, such as pathological Q waves, fragmented QRS (fQRS), or repolarization abnormalities. METHODS We investigated 146 patients with HCM and 35 healthy individuals who underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR; with late gadolinium enhancement [LGE] in HCM patients) and standard 12-lead ECGs. On the ECG, depolarization and repolarization abnormalities, the Sokolow-Lyon index, the Cornell index, and the Romhilt-Estes score were evaluated. The left ventricular ejection fraction, volumes, and myocardial mass (LVM) were quantified. Myocardial fibrosis was quantified on LGE images. RESULTS The sensitivity of the Romhilt-Estes score was the highest (75%), and this hypertrophy criterion had the strongest correlation with the LVM index (p  less then  .0001; r = .41). The amount of fibrosis was negatively correlated with the Cornell index (p = .015; r = -.201) and the Sokolow-Lyon index (p = .005; r = -.23), and the Romhilt-Estes score was independent of fibrosis (p = .757; r = 0.026). fQRS and strain pattern predicted more fibrosis, while the Cornell index was a negative predictor of myocardial fibrosis (p  less then  .0001). Among others, the strain pattern was an independent predictor of the LVM (p  less then  .0001). CONCLUSION The Romhilt-Estes score is the most sensitive ECG criterion for detecting LVH in HCM patients, as myocardial fibrosis does not affect this criterion.

Such models exist but mostly comprise non-human or non-neuronal cells that may not recapitulate the correct biochemical milieu involved in pathology. We have developed a new human neuronal cell model of HD, using neural stem cells (ReNcell VM NSCs) stably transduced to express exon 1 huntingtin (HTT) fragments with variable length polyglutamine (polyQ) tracts. Using a system with matched expression levels of exon 1 HTT fragments, we investigated the effect of increasing polyQ repeat length on HTT inclusion formation, location, neuronal survival, and mitochondrial function with a view to creating an in vitro screening platform for therapeutic screening. We found that expression of exon 1 HTT fragments with longer polyQ tracts led to the formation of intra-nuclear inclusions in a polyQ length-dependent manner during neurogenesis.
