A palladium catalytic method has been developed for the coupling of amides and cyclopropanols to γ-diketones, through simultaneous C–N and C–C activation. Heteroatom ligand exchange and heteroatom-to-carbon ligation mode switching enable the achievement of molecular cross-coupling in an amide N-atom structural context-dependent manner, avoiding any stoichiometric organometallic reagent or base.

In order to improve the stability of dough with soybean oil, this article explored the effect of soybean oil addition on the rheological characteristics of dough under high hydrostatic pressure. The results showed that, compared with the dough without soybean oil, the β‐sheet, disulfide bonds content, and gauche‐gauche‐gauche in the dough increased by 4.23%, 0.85 μmol/g, and 4.16%, respectively when the dough was added with 6% soybean oil, which improved the degree of cross‐linking polymerization of gluten protein and the stability of gluten network. Meanwhile, the dough had the highest elastic modulus and the lowest maximum creep compliance (6.85 × 10−4 Pa−1), indicating that 6% soybean oil significantly increased the elasticity and hardness of the dough. The results of short‐range ordered structure and paste properties showed that with the addition of soybean oil, the ordered structure and paste viscosity decreased with the increase of soybean oil.

• Exercise is highly feasible and acceptable, significantly contributing to the reduction of drug cravings among individuals with drug dependency. • The specific type of exercise appears to be a key determinant of the intervention's effectiveness. Aerobic exercises were more effective than resistance exercises. • This study is the first systematic review of exercise improving cravings in individuals with drug dependency. This systematic review aims to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of exercise-based interventions in reducing craving levels among individuals with drug dependency. This study included randomized controlled trials that investigated the effects of exercise on craving levels in individuals with drug dependence. We searched for relevant literature in PubMed, Web of Science, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, China Biomedicine, Wanfang, and VIP databases from their inception until July 2024. Two researchers independently reviewed the literature. The quality of the studies was assessed using the PEDro scale, and the GRADE profiler software was utilized to evaluate the strength of the evidence. A qualitative synthesis was performed to describe the findings. We included 26 studies involving a total of 1381 participants, with 787 in the experimental group and 594 in the control group. These studies were mainly conducted in China, the United States, and the United Kingdom, and were published mostly after 2018. The participants had typically been dependent on drugs for more than 5 years. The review found that exercise interventions were feasible and well-accepted, and effectively reduced drug cravings. Among the 26 studies, 22 showed positive outcomes in reducing cravings. The type of exercise appears to be a crucial factor. Aerobic exercises were more effective than resistance exercises. Out of 18 studies that included aerobic exercises, 17 reported significant reductions in cravings. In contrast, among the 4 studies that included resistance exercises, 3 did not find a significant impact on cravings. Exercise is highly feasible and acceptable, significantly contributing to the reduction of drug cravings among individuals with drug dependency. The specific type of exercise appears to be a key determinant of the intervention's effectiveness. Aerobic exercises were more effective than resistance exercises. The evidence supporting these findings is of high quality, with an average score of 6.92 on the PEDro scale. The research was supported by the Shanghai Key Laboratory of Human Performance, with the project number 11DZ2261100.

At present, there are seldom researches on the application of potassium carbonate in dough. In this paper, the influence mechanism of potassium carbonate on the rheological properties of dough was analyzed by exploring effect of potassium carbonate on the structure and physicochemical properties of starch and protein in the dough. Compared with the control group, the disulfide bond, guache-guache-guache conformation, and β-sheet increased by 1.46 μmol/g, 9.02%, and 5.11%, respectively, when the addition amount of potassium carbonate was 0.6%. It showed that potassium carbonate induced protein aggregation and interaction in the dough which was the main reason for the increase of elasticity and the decrease of extensibility. The results also showed that potassium carbonate (>0.2%) destroyed the ordered structure in starch of dough. Nevertheless, the potassium carbonate had no influence on the crystal form of starch in the dough. [Display omitted] • Potassium carbonate significantly changed the rheological properties of dough. •Potassium carbonate (0.6%) induced protein aggregation best. •Potassium carbonate (>0.2%) destroyed the order of starch molecules. •Potassium carbonate had application potential in flour products.

To explore the association between depression and anxiety symptoms among college students and the relationship between the two and physical activity. A cross-sectional study design was used to survey 1790 enrolled university students using the Depression Self-Rating Scale, Anxiety Self-Rating Scale and Physical Activity Rating Scale. 37.75% of male students and 39.73% of female students detected depressive symptoms, 17.65% of male students and 17.86% of female students detected anxiety symptoms, 11.89% of male students and 11.75% of female students detected both depressive and anxiety symptoms. Canonical correlation between depression and anxiety symptoms of college students were significant. The depression and anxiety score of college students in the high level group was significantly lower than that in the low and medium level groups, and no significant difference was found between the low and medium level groups. Affective disorder and anxious mood of male students correlated most closely with intensity, while somatic disorder, psychomotor disorder and depressive psychological disorder correlated most closely with duration. Affective disorder of female students correlated most closely with frequency, depressive psychological disorder and anxious mood correlated most closely with intensity, while premonition of misfortune and frequent urination correlated most closely with duration. Depression and anxiety symptoms of college students were closely related and co-occurrence was common. Students with high level of physical activity had milder symptoms. Different exercise interventions are recommended for different symptoms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
