= 7.6 nM; 12,500-fold selectivity over MAO-A), which overcomes the disadvantages of the irreversible MAO-B inhibitor. Long-term treatment with KDS2010 does not induce compensatory mechanisms, thereby significantly attenuating increased astrocytic GABA levels and astrogliosis, enhancing synaptic transmission, and rescuing learning and memory impairments in APP/PS1 mice.

Paper-based diagnostic devices have many advantages as a one of the multiple diagnostic test platforms for point-of-care (POC) testing because they have simplicity, portability, and cost-effectiveness. However, despite high sensitivity and specificity of nucleic acid testing (NAT), the development of NAT based on a paper platform has not progressed as much as the others because various specific conditions for nucleic acid amplification reactions such as pH, buffer components, and temperature, in

We previously developed a novel series of vinyl sulfones as nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) activators with therapeutic potential for Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, the previously developed lead compound (1) exhibited undesirable druglike properties. Here, we optimized vinyl sulfones by introducing nitrogen heterocycles to improve druglike properties. Among the synthesized compounds, 17e was the most promising drug candidate with good druglike properties. Compound 17e show

The main pathway responsible for cellular regulation against oxidative stress is nuclear factor E2-related factor-2 (Nrf2) signaling. We previously synthesized and reported a novel vinyl sulfone (<b>1</b>) as an Nrf2 activator with therapeutic potential for Parkinson's disease (PD). In this study, we changed the vinyl sulfone to vinyl sulfonamide or vinyl sulfonate to improve Nrf2 activating efficacy. We observed that the introduction of vinyl sulfonamide led to a reduction of the effects on Nrf

Enzymatic biofuel cells (BFC) have a great potential as a small power source, but their practical applications are being hampered by short lifetime and low power density. This study describes the direct immobilization of glucose oxidase (GOx) onto the carbon paper in the form of highly stable and active enzyme precipitation coatings (EPCs), which can improve the lifetime and power density of BFCs. EPCs were fabricated directly onto the carbon paper via a three-step process: covalent attachment (

Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia in Alzheimer disease patients were associated with various risk factors including the inability to live independently and Alzheimer disease severity. These findings suggest that prevention and treatment strategies for the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia should be comprehensive.

Purpose: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) education for school is extremely important in the community. In Korea, the curriculum for health care training including CPR has been established by law since 2009. The aim of this survey was to investigate the current status of CPR training in school from the viewpoint of program administration and their aids. Methods: In January 2012, we conducted an interview survey with 243 health teachers regarding their educational status and confidence, curren

The measurement system for healthcare signals such as heart rate and body temperature is significantly important to prevent and monitor of potential heart attack. Although numerous researchers have developed wearable devices and systems, there are still lots of issues to be solved to expand their applications. To overcome such issues, we propose the new types of healthcare-on-a-patch using flexible PCB and flexible battery. This patch system could measure and transmit the physiological signal on
