The asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-leuconoxine has been achieved. The desymmetrization of a prochiral diester using a chiral phosphoric acid catalyst produced a highly enantioenriched lactam with excellent yield. The ring construction featuring an intramolecular N-acyliminium cyclization and the one-step pyrrolidone formation using Bestmann's ylide was successfully accomplished.

Radiation therapy-induced normal tissue damage: involvement of EMT pathways and role of FLASH-RT in reducing toxicities.

Article Synopsis
- Radiation therapy (RT) is crucial for cancer treatment but often damages surrounding normal tissues, leading to complications like fibrosis and decreased organ function.
- Conventional RT promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which is linked to tissue damage and cancer progression.
- FLASH radiation therapy (FLASH-RT) offers a promising alternative by delivering high doses rapidly, potentially reducing normal tissue damage while preserving regenerative capacity and mitigating fibrosis through improved regulation of EMT pathways.

Nanotechnology

Departamento de Física, Universidade Federal do Ceará, Campus do Pici, Bloco 922, 60455-900, Fortaleza, 60455-900, BRAZIL.
We investigate the electronic properties of nanoribbons made out of monolayer Lieb, transition, and kagome lattices using the tight-binding model with a generic Hamiltonian. It allows us to map the evolutionary stages of the interconvertibility process between Lieb and kagome nanoribbons by means of only one control parameter. Results for the energy spectra, the density of states, and spatial probability density distributions are discussed for nanoribbons with three types of edges: straight, bearded, and asymmetric.

This cross-sectional observational study aimed to investigate the relationship between satisfaction with facial appearance among young women, as measured by the FACE-Q tool, and facial asymmetry quantified through stereophotogrammetry. A total of 50 women aged 18 to 30 years with a normal body mass index were recruited for the study. Participants were categorized as either symmetrical or asymmetrical based on facial asymmetry assessments obtained through clinical examination and stereophotogrammetry using the Vectra M3 system.

Reputation is the most important intangible asset of merchants. In the e-commerce platform market, reputation information has become an important signal of product quality. However, with increasingly fierce competition among merchants on these platforms, violations of reputation information, such as "click farming," "cash rebate for favorable comments," and "pay per click," have caused information asymmetry and adverse selection.
