Anionic annulations of 3-nucleofugal phthalides with α-alkyl(aryl)acrylates involving a demethoxycarbonylation provide a succinct synthesis of vitamin K and related naphthoquinones. Also reported is a new cascade reaction stemming from a Cope-retro-Wittig rearrangement. This cascade leads to direct formation of 1-hydroxy-4-prenyloxynaphthalene-2-carboxylates from the corresponding α-prenyl acrylate acceptors.

Sub-Microliter H Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy for In Vivo High-Spatial Resolution Metabolite Quantification in the Mouse Brain.

Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) offers a non-invasive, repeatable, and reproducible method for in vivo metabolite profiling of the brain and other tissues. However, metabolite fingerprinting by MRS requires high signal-to-noise ratios for accurate metabolite quantification, which has traditionally been limited to large volumes of interest, compromising spatial fidelity. In this study, we introduce a new optimized pipeline that combines LASER MRS acquisition at 11.

The gut microbiota is unanimously acknowledged as playing a central role in human health, notably through the production of various metabolites, including short-chain fatty acids, secondary bile acids, vitamins or neurotransmitters. Beyond contributing to gut health itself, these microbial metabolites significantly impact multiple organ systems by participating in key signaling pathways along the well documented gut-organ axes. Chemicals ingested through food might interact with our gut microbiota, altering metabolites production with consequences on health.

Background: Serum vitamin D deficiency is intricately linked to metabolic disorders, however, evidence on its association with continuous metabolic risk in children and adolescents remains insufficient. This study aims to elucidate the relationship between serum vitamin D levels and continuous metabolic risk.
Methods: The cross-sectional analysis involved 4490 participants aged 6 ~ 18, and the longitudinal investigation included 1398 individuals aged 6 ~ 12 years.
In vitro evaluation of the immunomodulatory and antibacterial activities of calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3) as a potential application for aerobic vaginitis treatment - preliminary study results.

Background: Aerobic vaginitis (AV) is a state of abnormal vaginal microbiota, which is associated with increased numbers of aerobic, enteric bacteria and inflammation of the vaginal epithelium. Anti-microbial treatment combined with anti-inflammatory therapy could be useful in the treatment of this condition. It is known that calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D, plays an important role in modulating the immune response in several inflammatory diseases.

Introduction: Zellweger spectrum disorder (ZSD) refers to a group of autosomal recessive genetic disorders that affect multiple organ systems and are predominantly caused by pathogenic variants in PEX genes. ZSD present a wide clinical spectrum, ranging from the most severe form, Zellweger syndrome, to the mildest form, Heimler syndrome.
Case Report: A 14-month-old male patient was brought to our clinic with recent-onset ocular tremors and unsteady gait.
