Association between daily screen time and risk of stroke among middle-aged and elderly people: research based on China health and nutrition survey
BackgroundWe aimed to explore the independent associations between screen time and the risk of stroke among Chinese adults based on the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS).MethodsData on Chinese adults aged older than 40 years from the CHNS in during 2004–2009 were selected. A total of 4,587 individuals were included in 2009, including screen time and the risk of stroke. Simultaneously, we traced the previous screen time to 2004 for those with outcome measures in 2009 (n = 2,100). Basic information, lifestyle, and screen behavior were obtained through face-to-face interviews and self-completed questionnaires. Anthropometric data collected included blood pressure, body weight, height, hip circumference, and waist circumference. Fasting blood was obtained for measurements of lipid and glucose levels. Cross-sectional analysis and cohort analysis were both performed using multivariate logistic regression.ResultsOf all participants, 3,004 (65.49%) participants spent more than 2 h per day on screen time. Taking the men who spent less than 2 h on screen per day as reference, the crude odds ratio (OR) of the high risk of stroke was 1.53 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.20–1.95] for the men who spent 2–3 h per day on screen and 2.37 (95% CI, 1.78–3.16) for the men who spent more than 3 h per day on screen. This difference remained significant after adjusting for confounding factors. No association was observed among women. However, in the cohort analysis with screen time in 2006 as the independent variable, the association between screen time and stroke risk was found both in men [OR, 1.83 (95% CI, 1.19–2.82)] and women [OR, 1.48 (95% CI, 1.10–1.99)]).ConclusionWe found that the high screen time was associated with an increased stroke risk, which was pronounced in men, warranting a universal need to limit screen time in order to improve health
AgentBench: Evaluating LLMs as Agents
Large Language Models (LLMs) are becoming increasingly smart and autonomous,
targeting real-world pragmatic missions beyond traditional NLP tasks. As a
result, there has been an urgent need to evaluate LLMs as agents on challenging
tasks in interactive environments. We present AgentBench, a multi-dimensional
evolving benchmark that currently consists of 8 distinct environments to assess
LLM-as-Agent's reasoning and decision-making abilities in a multi-turn
open-ended generation setting. Our extensive test over 27 API-based and
open-sourced (OSS) LLMs shows that, while top commercial LLMs present a strong
ability of acting as agents in complex environments, there is a significant
disparity in performance between them and OSS competitors. We identify the
typical reasons of failures in environments and LLMs, showing that poor
long-term reasoning, decision-making, and instruction following abilities are
the main obstacles for developing usable LLM agents. Training on code and high
quality multi-turn alignment data could improve agent performance. Datasets,
environments, and an integrated evaluation package for AgentBench are released

Two-State Reactivity in Low-Valent Iron-Mediated C–H Activation and the Implications for Other First-Row Transition Metals
C–H
bond activation/functionalization promoted by low-valent
iron complexes has recently emerged as a promising approach for the
utilization of earth-abundant first-row transition metals to carry
out this difficult transformation. Herein we use extensive density
functional theory and high-level ab initio coupled cluster calculations
to shed light on the mechanism of these intriguing reactions. <i>Our key mechanistic discovery for C–H arylation reactions
reveals a two-state reactivity (TSR) scenario in which the low-spin
FeÂ(II) singlet state, which is initially an excited state, crosses
over the high-spin ground state and promotes C–H bond cleavage</i>. Subsequently, aryl transmetalation occurs, followed by oxidation
of FeÂ(II) to FeÂ(III) in a single-electron transfer (SET) step in which
dichloroalkane serves as an oxidant, thus promoting the final C–C
coupling and finalizing the C–H functionalization. Regeneration
of the FeÂ(II) catalyst for the next round of C–H activation
involves SET oxidation of the FeÂ(I) species generated after the C–C
bond coupling. <i>The ligand sphere of iron is found to play
a crucial role in the TSR mechanism by stabilization of the reactive
low-spin state that mediates the C–H activation</i>. This
is the first time that the successful TSR concept conceived for high-valent
iron chemistry is shown to successfully rationalize the reactivity
for a reaction promoted by low-valent iron complexes. A comparative
study involving other divalent middle and late first-row transition
metals implicates iron as the optimum metal in this TSR mechanism
for C–H activation. It is predicted that stabilization of low-spin
MnÂ(II) using an appropriate ligand sphere should produce another promising
candidate for efficient C–H bond activation. This new TSR scenario
therefore emerges as a new strategy for using low-valent first-row
transition metals for C–H activation reactions
Functional Characterisation of Anticancer Activity in the Aqueous Extract of Helicteres angustifolia L. Roots.
Helicteres angustifolia L. is a shrub that forms a common ingredient of several cancer treatment recipes in traditional medicine system both in China and Laos. In order to investigate molecular mechanisms of its anticancer activity, we prepared aqueous extract of Helicteres angustifolia L. Roots (AQHAR) and performed several in vitro assays using human normal fibroblasts (TIG-3) and osteosarcoma (U2OS). We found that AQHAR caused growth arrest/apoptosis of U2OS cells in a dose-dependent manner. It showed no cytotoxicity to TIG-3 cells at doses up to 50 μg/ml. Biochemical, imaging and cell cycle analyses revealed that it induces ROS signaling and DNA damage response selectively in cancer cells. The latter showed upregulation of p53, p21 and downregulation of Cyclin B1 and phospho-Rb. Furthermore, AQHAR-induced apoptosis was mediated by increase in pro-apoptotic proteins including cleaved PARP, caspases and Bax. Anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 showed decrease in AQHAR-treated U2OS cells. In vivo xenograft tumor assays in nude mice revealed dose-dependent suppression of tumor growth and lung metastasis with no toxicity to the animals suggesting that AQHAR could be a potent and safe natural drug for cancer treatment
