Lemborexant is a dual orexin receptor antagonist indicated for the treatment of adult and elderly individuals with insomnia. Some current pharmacologic treatments for insomnia cause respiratory depression, a serious safety concern, particularly for individuals with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-period crossover study examined respiratory safety parameters in individuals with mild OSA following treatment with lemborexant. Participants (n = 39) were randomized to one of two treatment sequences, including placebo and lemborexant 10 mg. Each treatment period lasted 8 days and was separated by a washout of at least 14 days. Following single or multiple doses, there were no significant differences in mean apnea-hypopnea index for lemborexant 10 mg versus placebo (least squares mean [LSM] difference [95% confidence interval CI] day 1, -0.03 [-2.22, 2.17]; day 8, -0.06 [-1.95, 1.83]) or peripheral capillary oxygen saturation during sleep (LSM difference [95% CI] day 1, 0.07 [-0.31, 0.46]; day 8, 0.25 [-0.11, 0.61]). There were no significant differences versus placebo for the percentage of total sleep time during which peripheral capillary oxygen saturation was less then 80% (LSM difference [95% CI] day 1, 0.002 [-0.019, 0.023]; day 8, 0.006 [-0.015, 0.026]), less then 85% (LSM difference [95% CI] day 1, 0.067 [-0.124, 0.258]; day 8, 0.056 [-0.117, 0.228]) or less then 90% (LSM difference [95% CI] day 1, 0.312 [-0.558, 1.181]; day 8, 0.088 [-0.431, 0.607]). The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events was low and similar for lemborexant and placebo. Lemborexant demonstrated respiratory safety in this study population and was well tolerated. © 2020 The Authors.

Herein, we report the synthesis of three benzidine linked, hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (the so-called "superbenzene") based ortho- (1-NH), para- (2-NH), and meta- (3-NH) cyclophanes through intermolecular Yamamoto coupling reaction of structurally pre-organized precursors. Subsequent oxidative dehydrogenation gave the corresponding quinoidal benzidine linked cyclophanes 1-N, 2-N and 3-N. Their geometries were confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis and their electronic properties were investigated by electronic absorption, cyclic voltammetry, and DFT calculations. The quinoidal benzidine-linked cyclophanes all show thermally populated paramagnetic activity with a relatively large singlet-triplet energy gap. The structure-property relationship was discussed. Two enantiomers for the ortho- cyclophanes (1-NH and 1-N) were isolated by chiral HPLC and their chiral figure-of-eight macrocyclic structures were identified by X-ray analysis and circular dichroism spectral measurements. The cage-like cyclophanes 2-NH and 3-NH with concave surface can selectively encapsulate fullerene C70 with an association constant Ka of 1.95×105 M-1 and 5.51×104 M-1, respectively. © 2020 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

However, the urgent issue restricting its device performance is poor carrier transport properties of the solid surface if large charged interface is considered simultaneously. Panobinostat in vitro Here, a hydrovoltaic device based on silicon nanowire arrays (SiNWs), which provide large charged surface/volume ratio and excellent carrier transport properties simultaneously, yields sustained electricity via carrier concentration gradient induced by evaporation-induced water flow inside nanochannels. And a device can yield direct current with a short-circuit current density of over 55 μA/cm 2 , which is three orders larger than previous reported analogous device (approximately 40 nA/cm 2 ). In addition, this device exhibits a constant output power density of over 6 μW/cm 2 and an open-circuit voltage of up to 400 mV, which enables it to easily drive a commercial light emitting diode. We also demonstrate the potential application of this electrokinetic phenomenon by using it to create a breathing sensor. Through changing ion concentration in water, length and surface charge of SiNWs, we propose the mechanism of harvesting energy through water flow in SiNWs. Our findings reveal that the generated energy should be mainly correlated with Debye screening effect and Coulomb interactions. Our finding may pave a way for developing innovative energy-harvesting devices from ubiquitous evaporation-driven internal water flow in nature with semiconductor material of silicon. © 2020 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

However, no studies have reported a systematic analysis of clinicopathological significance of TME in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Here, we inferred tumor stromal cells in 1,184 LUAD patients using computational algorithms based on bulk tumor expression data, and evaluated clinicopathological significance of stromal cells. We found LUAD patients showed heterogeneous abundance in stromal cells. Infiltration of stromal cells was influenced by clinicopathological features, such as age, gender, smoking and TNM stage. By clustering stromal cells, we identified two clinically and molecularly distinct LUAD subtypes with immune active and immune repressed features. The immune active subtype is characterized with repressed metabolism and repressed proliferation of tumor cells, while the immune repressed subtype is characterized with active metabolism and active proliferation of tumor cells. Differentially expressed gene analysis of the two LUAD subtypes identified an immune-activation signature. To diagnose TME subtypes practically, we constructed TME score using principal component analysis based on the immune-activation signature. The TME score predicted TME subtypes effectively in three independent datasets with areas under the curves (AUCs) of 0.960, 0.812, and 0.819, respectively. In conclusion, we proposed two clinically and molecularly distinct LUAD subtypes based on tumor microenvironment that may be valuable in predicting clinical outcome and guiding immunotherapy.
