The Link between Inflammation, Lipid Derivatives, and Microbiota Metabolites in COVID-19 Patients: Implications on Eating Behaviors and Nutritional Status.

Extreme inflammation that continues even after infections can lead to a cytokine storm. In recent times, one of the most common causes of cytokine storm activation has been SARS-CoV-2 infection. A cytokine storm leads to dysregulation and excessive stimulation of the immune system, producing symptoms typical of post-COVID syndrome, including chronic fatigue, shortness of breath, joint pain, trouble concentrating (known as "brain fog"), and even direct organ damage in the heart, lungs, kidneys, and brain.

Improving the Selectivity of the C-C Coupled Product Electrosynthesis by Using Molecularly Imprinted Polymer─An Enhanced Route from Phenol to Biphenol.

We developed a procedure for selective 2,4-dimethylphenol, , direct electro-oxidation to 3,3',5,5'-tetramethyl-2,2'-biphenol, , a C-C coupled product. For that, we used an electrode coated with a product-selective molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP). The procedure is reasonably selective toward without requiring harmful additives or elevated temperatures.

Preliminary Studies on the Predation of the Mite (Acari: Blattisociidae) on Various Life Stages of Spider Mite, Thrips and Fruit Fly.

Research in recent years has shown that some species of predatory mites, considered to be typically associated with soil and litter, can also be found on plants. Such species include , which is an effective predator of acarid mites, nematodes and the eggs of moths and which can disperse by means of drosophilid fruit flies. Apart from soil and litter or storage, it has also been recorded on the bark of apple trees and the leaves of strawberries, thus suggesting its possible predation of/feeding on herbivorous mites and insects.

N-(2-Arylethyl)-2-methylprop-2-enamides as Versatile Reagents for Synthesis of Molecularly Imprinted Polymers.

The paper describes the formation of six aromatic -(2-arylethyl)-2-methylprop-2-enamides with various substituents in benzene ring, viz., 4-F, 4-Cl, 2,4-Cl, 4-Br, 4-OMe, and 3,4-(OMe) from 2-arylethylamines and methacryloyl chloride in ethylene dichloride with high yields (46-94%). The structure of the compounds was confirmed by H NMR, C NMR, IR, and HR-MS.

Polytyramine Film-Coated Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Electrochemical Chemosensor with Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Nanoparticles for Duloxetine-Selective Determination in Human Plasma.

We devised, fabricated, and tested differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and impedance spectroscopy (EIS) chemosensors for duloxetine (DUL) antidepressant determination in human plasma. Polyacrylic nanoparticles were synthesized by precipitation polymerization and were molecularly imprinted with DUL (DUL-nanoMIPs). Then, together with the single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) scaffolds, they were uniformly embedded in polytyramine films, i.
