Human Heme Oxygenase-1 (hHO-1) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the catabolism reaction of heme, which directly regulates the concentration of bilirubin in human body. The mutant structure was simulated by Swiss-pdbviewer procedure, which showed that the structure of active pocket was changed distinctly after Ala25 substituted for His25 in active domain, but the mutated enzyme still binded with heme. On the basis of the results, the expression vectors, pBHO-1 and pBHO-1(M), were constructed, induced by IPTG and expressed in E. coli DH5alpha strain. The expression products were purified with 30%-60% saturation (NH4)2SO4 and Q-Sepharose Fast Flow column chromatography. The concentration of hHO-1 in 30%-60% saturation (NH4)2SO4 components and in fractions through twice column chromatography was 3.6-fold and 30-fold higher than that in initial product, respectively. The activity of wild hHO-1 (whHO-1) and mutant hHO-1 (deltahHO-1) showed that the activity of deltahHO-1 was reduced 91.21% compared with that of whHO-1. The study shows that His25 is of importance for the mechanism of hHO-1, and provides the possibility for effectively regulating the activity to exert biological function.

Comparison of Remimazolam-Flumazenil and Propofol on Psychomotor Function and Emergence Following General Anesthesia in Surgical Abortion: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Drug Des Devel Ther
January 2025
Department of Anesthesiology, Ningbo No. 2 hospital, Ningbo, 315010, People's Republic of China.
Objective: This study aims to compare the recovery profiles of remimazolam combined with flumazenil against those of propofol in patients undergoing painless surgical abortion, focusing on psychomotor function and emergence. Rapid recovery and restoration of psychomotor function are critical for enhancing patient safety and satisfaction in outpatient procedures like surgical abortion.
Methods: A total of 110 patients scheduled for surgical abortion were randomly assigned to either the remimazolam group (Group R) or the propofol group (Group P) in a 1:1 ratio.
Raw feedstock vs. biochar from olive stone: Impact on the sorption-desorption of diclosulam and tropical soil improvement.

The addition of carbon-rich materials, such as raw feedstocks (RAW) and biochars, to agricultural soils is on the rise. This activity has many advantages, such as improving fertility, increasing water retention, and sequestering carbon. However, they can also increase the sorption of residual herbicides in the soil, reducing the effectiveness of weed control.

Article Synopsis
- Mild hyperthermia (39-43 °C) is used locoregionally for 30-60 minutes to enhance oxygenation in recurrent breast cancers, which can improve the effectiveness of various treatments like radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy.!* -
- Data from clinical trials and experiments show that breast cancer tissue generally has higher water content and density compared to normal breast tissue, and these values increase during mild hyperthermia.!* -
- Key factors affecting oxygenation in both healthy and cancerous breast tissue include blood flow, interstitial fluid dynamics, and tissue permeability, with most parameters improving under mild hyperthermia treatment.!*
Developing probabilistic ensemble machine learning models for home-based sleep apnea screening using overnight SpO2 data at varying data granularity.
Sleep Breath
December 2024
Ubiquitous and Personal Computing Lab, Kyoto University of Advanced Science (KUAS), 18 Yamanouchi Gotanda-cho, Ukyo-ku, Kyoto, Japan.
Purpose: This study aims to develop sleep apnea screening models with overnight SpO2 data, and to investigate the impact of the SpO2 data granularity on model performance.
Methods: A total of 7,718 SpO2 recordings from the SHHS and MESA datasets were used. Probabilistic ensemble machine learning was employed to predict sleep apnea status at three AHI cutoff points: ≥ 5, ≥ 15, and ≥ 30 events/hour.

Emergency Medicine Department, Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital, No. 600, Yishan Road, Xuhui District, Shanghai, 200233, China.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the impact of a lung-protective ventilation strategy utilizing transpulmonary driving pressure titrated positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on the prognosis [mechanical ventilation duration, hospital stay, 28-day mortality rate and incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), survival outcome] of patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).
Methods: A total of 105 ARDS patients were randomly assigned to either the control group (n = 51) or the study group (n = 53). The control group received PEEP titration based on tidal volume [A tidal volume of 6 mL/kg, flow rate of 30-60 L/min, frequency of 16-20 breaths/min, constant flow rate, inspiratory-to-expiratory ratio of 1:1 to 1:1.
