Diabetes mellitus and the rate of cognitive ageing
摘要:
Objectives. There is some evidence that besides affecting peripheral neural function diabetes may also cause more widespread changes in the central nervous system which reduce cognitive efficiency and so, also, independence and quality of life. The present study explores whether diabetes mellitus is a compounding factor in average declines in cognitive performance observed in old age.Design. A sample of diabetics and controls were compared on a battery of cognitive tasks previously used in cognitive ageing research.Methods. Thirty‐three insulin dependent (IDDM), 135 non‐insulin dependent (NIDDM) diabetics and 2191 non‐diabetics aged between 50 and 91 years were compared on two tests of general intellectual ability, and on three tests of verbal memory.Results. Overall, the combined IDDM and NIDDM groups had significantly lower average scores than the controls group on all cognitive tasks. Detailed analyses revealed most cognitive impairment for the NIDDM sub‐group whose condition was managed by hypoglycaemic drugs, slightly less for those managed by diet, and no impairment for the IDDM group. These effects were independent of age, depression, socio‐economic status, and presence of other illnesses.Conclusions. Together with other recent studies these data emphasize the need for early detection and effective management of diabetes in older patients.

The first triphosphorus ligand has been designed and synthesized for highly regioselective linear hydroformylations. A very high l/b ratio (up to 471, 99.8% linear selectivity) was obtained in the linear hydroformylation of representative terminal and internalolefins. For the range of substrates tested, the regioselectivities achieved utilizing the novel triphosphoramidite ligand were much better
carbonylated to give corresponding alcohols under mild water gas shift reaction (WGSR) conditions using Rh6(CO)16-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-1,3-propanediamine and 4-dimethylaminopyridine catalyst systems, α,β-Unsaturated carbonyl compounds give selectively C=C reduction products.

A novel, atom efficient, orthogonal tandem catalysis was developed yielding acyloin products (α‐hydroxy ketones) directly from olefins under hydroformylation conditions. The combination of a metal‐catalysed hydroformylation and an organocatalysed acyloin reaction provides three atom efficient CC bond formations to linear, multifunctional molecules via linkage of the intermediate n‐aldehydes.

strategy for the synthesis and functionalization of hyperbranched poly(ethyleneimine) (H-PEI) and polyamidoamine (H-PAMAM) with phosphine ligands and their non-covalent immobilization on magnetic nanosupports. Treatment of these functionalized hyperbranched polymers with Rh(COD)2BF4 affords polymer-bound Rh(I) complexes that can be utilized in the hydroformylation of alkenes and in onepot hydroformyla
Synthesis and Application of Tetraphosphane Ligands in Rhodium-Catalyzed Hydroformylation of Terminal Olefins: High Regioselectivity at High Temperature
A new class of substituted tetraphosphane ligands has been developed and applied in the rhodium‐catalyzed regioselective hydroformylation of terminal olefins. The high regioselectivity (linear selectivity is above 97 % for 1‐octene and 1‐hexene) at high temperature (140 °C) shown by these tetraphosphane ligands is remarkable considering the low regioselectivity commonly observed under similar reaction
