Background: Proprotein convertase subtilisins/kexin 6 (PCSK6) polymorphisms have been shown to be associated with atherosclerosis progression. This research aimed to evaluate the relationship of PCSK6 rs1531817 polymorphisms with coronary stenosis and the prognosis in premature myocardial infarction (PMI) patients.

Synthesis of CF-Isoquinolinones and Imidazole-Fused CF-Isoquinolinones Based on C-H Activation-Initiated Cascade Reactions of 2-Aryloxazolines.

Presented herein are novel syntheses of CF-isoquinolinones and imidazole fused CF-isoquinolinones based on the cascade reactions of 2-aryloxazolines with trifluoromethyl imidoyl sulfoxonium ylides. The formation of CF-isoquinolinone involves an intriguing cascade process including oxazolinyl group-assisted aryl alkylation through C(sp)-H bond metalation, carbene formation, migratory insertion, and proto-demetalation followed by intramolecular condensation and water-promoted oxazolinyl ring-scission. With this method, the isoquinolinone scaffold tethered with valuable functional groups was effectively constructed.

Predictive Value of 5-Methoxytryptophan on Long-Term Clinical Outcome after PCI in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction-a Prospective Cohort Study.

Background: In recent years, 5-Methoxytryptophan (5-MTP) has been identified as an endothelial factor with vaso-protective and anti-inflammatory properties.

Methods: In this prospective cohort study, a total of 407 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) successfully were enrolled. A 1-year follow-up Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used for evaluating the correlation between 5-MTP and major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) while Cox proportional-hazards regression was used to identify predictive values of 5-MTP on MACE after AMI.

The aim of this study was to investigate their role and potential association with the severity of coronary lesions and the prognosis of ACS.

Dealloying Synthesis of Bimetallic (Au-Pd)/CeO Catalysts for CO Oxidation.

The nanorod-structured (Au-Pd)/CeO catalysts with different Au/Pd ratios were prepared from Al-Ce-Au-Pd precursor alloys through combined dealloying and calcination treatment. XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, Raman spectroscopy, and N adsorption-desorption measurements were applied to test the structure and physicochemical properties of samples. Catalytic evaluation results imply that the (Pd-Au)/CeO catalyst calcined at 500 °C possesses optimal catalytic activity for CO oxidation when compared with other catalysts with different Au/Pd ratios or (Pd-Au)/CeO calcined at other temperatures, whose 50% and 99% reaction temperature can be reached as low as 50 and 85 °C, respectively.

CeO-Supported TiO-Pt Nanorod Composites as Efficient Catalysts for CO Oxidation.

Supported Pt-based catalysts have been identified as highly selective catalysts for CO oxidation, but their potential for applications has been hampered by the high cost and scarcity of Pt metals as well as aggregation problems at relatively high temperatures. In this work, nanorod structured (TiO-Pt)/CeO catalysts with the addition of 0.3 at% Pt and different atomic ratios of Ti were prepared through a combined dealloying and calcination method.

Characterizing the Specific Recognition of Xanthurenic Acid by GEP1 and GEP1-GCα Interactions in cGMP Signaling Pathway in Gametogenesis of Malaria Parasites.

Gametogenesis is an essential step for malaria parasite transmission and is activated in mosquito by signals including temperature drop, pH change, and mosquito-derived xanthurenic acid (XA). Recently, a membrane protein gametogenesis essential protein 1 (GEP1) was found to be responsible for sensing these signals and interacting with a giant guanylate cyclase α (GCα) to activate the cGMP-PKG-Ca signaling pathway for malaria parasite gametogenesis. However, the molecular mechanisms for this process remain unclear.

Acteoside attenuates RSV-induced lung injury by suppressing necroptosis and regulating metabolism.

Necroptosis and inflammation are closely related to the pathogenesis of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Acteoside (AC), a natural phenylpropanoid glycoside from Kuding Tea, has significant anti-RSV effect. However, the roles of AC on RSV-induced lung necroptosis and inflammation are yet to be elucidated.

Identification of a novel substrate motif of yeast separase and deciphering the recognition specificity using AlphaFold2 and molecular dynamics simulation.

Separase is a giant cysteine protease and has multiple crucial functions. The most well-known substrate of separase is the kleisin subunit of cohesin, the cleavage of which triggers chromosome segregation during cell division (Uhlmann et al., 1999; Kamenz and Hauf, 2016) [1,2].

Phytochemicals with activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Background: The evolution of resistance to antimicrobials is a ubiquitous phenomenon. The evolution of antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus suggests that there is no remedy with sustaining effectiveness against this pathogen. The limited number of antibacterial drug classes and the common occurrence of cross-resistant bacteria reinforce the urgent need to discover new compounds targeting novel cellular functions.

A conserved mechanism affecting hydride shifting and deprotonation in the synthesis of hopane triterpenes as compositions of wax in oat.

Triterpenoids are biologically active metabolites synthesized from a common linear precursor catalyzed by 2,3-oxidosqualene cyclases (OSCs) to form diverse triterpenoid skeletons. OSCs corresponding to many discovered triterpene alcohols in nature have not been functionally and mechanistically characterized due to the diversity of chemical structures and complexity of the cyclization mechanism. We carried out a genome-wide investigation of OSCs from Avena strigosa and discovered two triterpene synthases, namely, AsHS1 and AsHS2, using a Nicotiana benthamiana expression system.
