The acid-sensitivity of vitamin B(12) derived mono- and diamides was studied. It was found that the use of reductive ring-opening of the lactone moiety deactivated undesired decomposition of c-mono- and c,d-diamides under acidic conditions. As a result, reactions gave respectively c- or d-acids which were further functionalized via coupling with amino acids. Though mono- and diamides exhibited acid sensitivity, they were used for the preparation of several highly functionalized molecules showing their stability under various reaction conditions.

Background: Neurologic symptoms seen in patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) may not be entirely caused by immunotoxicity. We aim to highlight these confounding conditions through clinical cases to encourage early recognition and management.

Methods: We describe a series of seven cases from our institution that were treated with ICI and presented with Neurologic symptoms and were diagnosed with superimposed conditions beyond immunotoxicity.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of Dendrobium officinale in the treatment of radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients, and to explore its regulating effect on immune function and oral microbiota by comparing immune-related factors and oral microbiota before and after the intervention.

Methods: We conducted a randomized double-blinded controlled trial in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital. Sixty patients with nasopharyngeal cancer combined with radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis were randomly divided into a study group and control group, with 30 cases in each group The study group used compound vitamin B12 solution and Dendrobium tea drink, and the control group simply used compound vitamin B12 solution rinse.

Vitamin B12 deficiency is a potentially severe condition with clinical manifestations ranging from nonspecific symptoms, such as asthenia and glossitis, to severe hematological problems, including pancytopenia and megaloblastic anemia. One of the rare phenomena associated with this condition is pseudo-thrombotic microangiopathy (pseudo-TMA), which can mimic diseases such as thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), leading to possible misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment. In this article, we present the case of a 62-year-old man with a history of intravenous drug use, untreated hepatitis C, smoking, and alcoholism.

Selective diet induced nutritional optic neuropathy in developmentally normal children.

Am J Ophthalmol Case Rep

March 2025

Department of Ophthalmology, Boston Children's Hospital, 300 Longwood Ave, Fegan 4, Boston, MA, 02115, USA.

Purpose: Nutritional deficiencies in developed countries are a rare but potentially intervenable cause of optic neuropathy in pediatric populations. To date, much of the literature on nutritional optic neuropathy has focused on children with developmental delay, however, a growing body of evidence supports other underreported risk factors.

Observations: We describe three pediatric patients with normal neurodevelopment, who presented with decreased vision and were subsequently found to have optic neuropathy attributed to vitamin deficiencies, predominantly vitamin B12.

Background:  Diabetic mononeuropathies, which are focal neuropathies, are less common than peripheral neuropathy in diabetes. They are frequently underreported or misdiagnosed due to mild or unnoticed cases. Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent worsening nerve damage and complications.
