Purpose: Fluorine-18 prostate-specific membrane antigen-1007 positron emission tomography/computed tomography (F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT) has been shown to be superior to multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the locoregional staging of intermediate-risk and high-risk prostate tumors. This study aims to evaluate whether it is also superior in estimating tumor parameters, such as three-dimensional spatial localization and volume.

Methods: 134 participants underwent F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT and MRI prior to radical prostatectomy as part of the validating paired-cohort Next Generation Trial (NCT05141760).

Five phenylpropanoid dimers chrysanthephenyls A-E, with the 1-O-1'-type (1) and 1-O-2'-type (2-5) ether bond linking modes, were isolated from the aerial parts of Chrysanthemum indicum. Among them, chrysanthephenyls D and E were two pairs of enantiomers, and chrysanthephenyl E was further resolved into its enantiomers (+)-chrysanthephenyl E and (-)-chrysanthephenyl E via chiral-phase HPLC. Their structures were characterized on the basic analysis of the spectroscopic techniques (IR, HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR), and their absolute configurations were determined by DP4+ NMR analysis and ECD calculation method.

Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the Milwaukee Institute for Drug Discovery, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53211, United States.

DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs) are the sources of the cytotoxicity of many anticancer agents. Selenium compounds showed great potential as anticancer drugs. In this work, we synthesized a binaphthalene analog containing phenyl selenide (-SePh) as the leaving group and investigated its photochemical reactivity toward DNA as well as its cytotoxicity and selectivity.

Probing Methylmercury Photodegradation by Different Fractions of Natural Organic Matter in Water: Degradation Kinetics and Mercury Isotope Fractionation Characteristics.

Environ Pollut

Shandong Key Laboratory of Environmental Processes and Health, School of Environmental Science and Engineering, Shandong University, Qingdao 266237, China; Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry, Florida International University, Miami, Florida, 33199, United States.

Recent advancements in mercury (Hg) isotopic fractionation research have evolved from conceptual demonstrations to practical applications. However, few studies have focused on revealing fractionation fingerprinting for aqueous methylmercury (MeHg) photodegradation due to its sensitivity to natural organic matter (NOM). Here, the impact of NOM fractions with varying chemical properties on MeHg photodegradation kinetics and Hg isotope fractionation characteristics was investigated.

Fried muscle foods are popular among consumers for their golden color, fried flavor, and crispy exterior paired with a tender interior. However, physicochemical reactions occurring during frying lead to the formation of harmful components. This review focuses on the formation mechanisms of excessive oil and Maillard reaction products (advanced glycation end products, and heterocyclic amines) in fried muscle foods including protein oxidation, starch gelatinization, and generation of carbonyls and free radicals.
