Bullous pemphigoid associated with acquired hemophilia A: A case report.

Background: Acquired hemophilia A (AHA) is a rare and potentially severe bleeding disorder caused by circulating autoantibodies against factor VIII (FVIII). In approximately 50% of the patients, the condition is associated with autoimmune diseases, cancers, medication use, pregnancy, and the post-partum period. Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a chronic autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease associated with tissue-bound and circulating autoantibodies against BP antigens 180 (BP180) and 230 (BP230).

Bioinspired molecule-functionalized Cu with high CO adsorption for efficient CO electroreduction to acetate.

Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO) or carbon monoxide (CO) to valuable multi-carbon (C) products like acetate is a promising approach for a sustainable energy economy. However, it is still challenging to achieve high activity and selectivity for acetate production, especially in neutral electrolytes. Herein, a bioinspired hemin/Cu hybrid catalyst was developed to enhance the surface *CO coverage for highly efficient electroreduction of CO to acetate fuels.

Exploring non-coding RNA mechanisms in hepatocellular carcinoma: implications for therapy and prognosis.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a significant contributor to cancer-related deaths in the world. The development and progression of HCC are closely correlated with the abnormal regulation of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), such as microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs). Important biological pathways in cancer biology, such as cell proliferation, death, and metastasis, are impacted by these ncRNAs, which modulate gene expression.

Anesthesia/surgery activate MMP9 leading to blood-brain barrier disruption, triggering neuroinflammation and POD-like behavior in aged mice.

Anesthesia and surgery activate matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9), leading to blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption and postoperative delirium (POD)-like behavior, especially in the elderly. Aged mice received intraperitoneal injections of either the MMP9 inhibitor SB-3CT, melatonin, or solvent, and underwent laparotomy under 3 % sevoflurane anesthesia(anesthesia/surgery). Behavioral tests were performed 24 h pre- and post-operatively.

Mouse auditory cortex sub-fields receive neuronal projections from MGB subdivisions independently.

Mouse auditory cortex is composed of six sub-fields: primary auditory field (AI), secondary auditory field (AII), anterior auditory field (AAF), insular auditory field (IAF), ultrasonic field (UF) and dorsoposterior field (DP). Previous studies have examined thalamo-cortical connections in the mice auditory system and learned that AI, AAF, and IAF receive inputs from the ventral division of the medial geniculate body (MGB). However, the functional and thalamo-cortical connections between nonprimary auditory cortex (AII, UF, and DP) is unclear.

Palladium-catalyzed stereoselective construction of chiral allenes bearing nonadjacent axial and two central chirality.

It is challenging to enantioselectively construct molecules bearing multiple nonadjacent stereocenters, in contrast to those bearing a single stereocenter or adjacent stereocenters. Herein, we report an enantio- and diastereoselective synthesis of substituted chiral allenes with nonadjacent axial and two central chiral centers through a combination of retro-oxa-Michael addition and palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allenylic alkylation. This methodology exhibits good functional-group compatibility, and the corresponding allenylic alkylated compounds, including flavonoid frameworks, are obtained with good yields and diastereoselectivities and excellent enantioselectivities (all >95% ee).

Enrichment Strategies for Efficient CO Electroreduction in Acidic Electrolytes.

Electrochemical CO reduction reaction (CO RR) has been recognized as an appealing route to remarkably accelerate the carbon-neutral cycle and reduce carbon emissions. Notwithstanding great catalytic activity that has been acquired in neutral and alkaline conditions, the carbonates generated from the inevitable reaction of the input CO with the hydroxide severely lower carbon utilization and energy efficiency. By contrast, CO RR in an acidic condition can effectively circumvent the carbonate issues; however, the activity and selectivity of CO RR in acidic electrolytes will be decreased significantly due to the competing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).

Although copper-based catalysts with a porous architecture are considered potential electrocatalysts for CO reduction to C chemicals, challenges remain in achieving high selectivity and partial current density simultaneously for practical application. Here, the porous Cu catalysts with a cavity structure by in situ electrochemical-reducing CuO cavities are developed for high-performance conversion of CO to C fuels.

The asymmetric transfer hydrogenation could be achieved at gram scale without loss of the activity and enantioselectivity.
