The bioactivity-guided isolation of potentially active natural products has been widely utilized in pharmaceutical discovery. In this study, by screening fungal extracts against coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3), three new aspochalasins, templichalasins A‒C (1‒3), along with six known aspochalasins (4‒9) were isolated from an active extract derived from the endophytic fungus Aspergillus templicola LHWf045. Compound 1 features a unique 5/6/5/7/5 pentacyclic ring system, while compounds 2 and 3 possess unusual 5/6/6/7 tetracyclic skeletons. Their structures were characterized through extensive spectroscopic analyses, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Additionally, we demonstrated that compound 4 can be readily converted into compounds 1‒3 under mild acidic conditions and proposed a plausible mechanism for this conversion. Bioactivity evaluation of compounds 1‒9 against CVB3 revealed the inhibitory effects of all compounds against the virus. Notably, compound 9 exhibited superior antiviral activity, surpassing the commercial drug ribavirin in selectivity index (SI) value.

Objective:To explore the clinical utility of peripheral immune-inflammatory markers in predicting late-life depression with cognitive impairment(LLD+ CI + ). Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted between January 2020 and December 2021, collecting demographic data, peripheral blood inflammatory markers, and cognitive function scores from 40 patients with LLD+ CI + , 38 patients with late-life depression without cognitive impairment(LLD+ CI -), and 26 healthy controls(HCs). Logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis were employed to assess the value of peripheral blood inflammatory markers in differentiating LLD+ CI + . Results:Patients with LLD+ CI + exhibited significantly different levels of lymphocytes, C-reactive protein(CRP), systemic immune-inflammation index(SII), systemic inflammation response index(SIRI), neutrophil-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio(NHR), and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR)compared with the LLD+ CI - group and the HGs group( F=4.000, 11.642, 13.541, 10.441, 6.623, 4.193; P=0.022, 0.003, 0.001, 0.005, 0.036, 0.018). The multivariate logistic regression analysis of factors influencing LLD+ CI + revealed that elevated levels of CRP( OR=4.933, 95% CI: 1.385-17.563, P=0.014), SII( OR=5.534, 95% CI: 1.336-22.927, P=0.018), and NLR( OR=3.386, 95% CI: 1.470-7.797, P=0.004)constitute risk factors for geriatric depression with cognitive impairment, while an increased lymphocyte count( OR=0.206, 95% CI: 0.058-0.725, P=0.014)serves as a protective factor.Further analysis identified CRP, lymphocytes, SII, and NLR as significant predictors for LLD+ CI + , with areas under the curve (AUC) values of 0.849(95% CI: 0.760-0.934), 0.847(95% CI: 0.761-0.933), 0.860(95% CI: 0.777-0.943), and 0.857(95% CI: 0.777-0.938), respectively, in distinguishing LLD with or without cognitive impairment. Conclusions:Peripheral immune-inflammatory markers represent an economical and effective approach for investigating the pathophysiological changes and predictive factors associated with LLD+ CI + .These findings provide valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms and potential therapeutic avenues.

In recent years, the wearable device market has been developing rapidly. Wearable devices with personalized health management and chronic disease monitoring are widely used in daily life by virtue of their powerful performance and convenience. However, with the popularization of these devices, skin adverse reactions caused by prolonged wearable wear are gradually increasing, among which allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is the most common. Common allergens such as acrylates, methacrylates, rosin, chromium and nickel are widely present in adhesives and device components and are the main causes of ACD. Understanding the presence of potential sensitizers in wearable devices can help in diagnostic patch testing in users experiencing skin reactions caused by the device. Future innovations in wearable device materials will focus on the adoption of safer bonding technologies and biocompatible materials to reduce the risk of allergy. The introduction of new materials brings both development opportunities and challenges. Educating users on proper device usage, identifying specific allergens, selecting hypoallergenic materials, and optimizing device maintenance are important for reducing the risk of ACD.

Objective To explore the effects of mental fatigue on attention maintenance function by electroencephalogram(EEG)signal characteristics and cortical source analysis.Methods A total of 25 healthy males were recruited as subjects and contingent negative variation(CNV)auditory paradigm was used to assess the differences in EEG characteristics before and after mental fatigue,with the average amplitude of CNV at different processing stages as the analysis indices.Then,the 3-dimensional distribution of cortical current density changes of CNV after mental fatigue were calculated by standardized low-resolution electromagnetic tomography analysis(sLORETA).Results The reaction time of the CNV signal remained unchanged following mental fatigue(P>0.05),while the lapse rate exhibited a significant increase(P<0.05).Besides,mental fatigue was related to a notable decrease in the amplitude of CNV early components(500-1 000 ms after warning stimulus)at the central and central parietal electrodes,and a significant reduction in the amplitude of CNV late components(2 550-3 050 ms after warning stimulus)at the prefrontal,frontal,central,and central parietal electrodes(all P<0.05).The results of sLORETA source analysis showed that the brain activity in the left posterior insular cortex decreased after mental fatigue during the late component of CNV(P<0.05).Conclusion The decreased activation of the posterior insula,which plays a crucial role in sensorimotor information integration,could potentially serve as a neural mechanism for the reduction of CNV amplitude and the impairment of attention maintenance function following mental fatigue.
