Article Synopsis
- Two new compounds, Hyperzrones A and B, are unique polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols with a cyclobutane structure.
- Their structures were confirmed using a combination of spectroscopic analysis, X-ray crystallography, and quantum chemical calculations.
- A bioinspired method was developed to synthesize these compounds from hypercalin B, along with creating various derivatives for further biological research.
Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia caused by solanine: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore)
September 2024
Article Synopsis
- Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP) is a mysterious type of pneumonia that presents symptoms such as dry cough, fever, and breath difficulties, and there’s no evidence linking it to solanine poisoning, even though the latter can cause various other symptoms.
- A 43-year-old man experienced significant respiratory symptoms after eating sprouted potatoes but had no prior health issues; tests ruled out other potential causes, leading to a diagnosis of COP.
- The patient was treated successfully with glucocorticoids and oxygen, and follow-up imaging showed significant improvement, emphasizing the need for careful monitoring and thorough diagnostic procedures for patients with respiratory symptoms related to solanine poisoning.
Advances in diagnosis and treatment of non-tuberculous mycobacterial lung disease.
Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis
June 2024
The prevalence of Non-tuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Disease (NTM-PD) is increasing worldwide. The advancement in molecular diagnostic technology has greatly promoted the rapid diagnosis of NTM-PD clinically, and the pathogenic strains can be identified to the species level through molecular typing, which provides a reliable basis for treatment. In addition to the well-known PCR and mNGS methods, there are numerous alternative methods to identify NTM to the species level.

The unique naphthalene core skeleton was obtained from classical lindenane [4 + 2] dimers via a free-radical-mediated C11-C11' bond formation reaction and 12'-decarboxylation. The highly fused octonary ring skeleton was elucidated by HRMS, NMR, ECD, quantum chemical calculations, and biogenetic inspiration.
