This study examines the influence of grandparenthood and grandparental childcare on loneliness among Chinese older adults. Using longitudinal data from a nationally representative sample of 9240 individuals from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), we applied logistic regression to examine the relationship between various grandparental statuses and loneliness with a focus on gender. The grandparental role is a protective factor for loneliness. Providing care to grandchildren was associated with a lower likelihood of...

Oxidative coupling of 2-methylquinolines with quinoxalines via a TBHP (t-butyl hydroperoxide) and TFA (trifluoroacetic acid) mediated Minisci reaction affords quinolin-2-yl(quinoxalin-2-yl)methanone derivatives. This approach provides a simple and efficient method to construct various acyl derivatives in moderate to good yields (45%–92%) without any metal catalyst. Mechanistically, homolytic aromatic substitution (HAS) of acyl radicals mediated by TBHP is crucial for the construction of the quinolin-2-yl(quinoxalin-2-yl)methanone products.

Background:Sepsis is defined as organ dysfunction caused by an uncontrolled response to infection and is followed by a high incidence of cognitive dysfunction, which can severely affect patients’ quality of life. Previous studies have suggested that electroacupuncture (EA) is protective against sepsis-associated cognitive dysfunction and that pyroptosis plays a vital role in cognitive function. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of EA on cognition and neuronal pyroptosis in a mouse model...

Stepped wedge designs have uni-directional crossovers at randomly assigned time points (steps) where clusters switch from control to intervention condition. Incomplete stepped wedge designs are increasingly used in cluster randomized trials of health care interventions and have periods without data collection due to logistical, resource and patient-centered considerations. The development of sample size formulae for stepped wedge trials has primarily focused on complete designs and continuous responses. Addressing this gap, a general, fast, non-simulation based...
