Division of Occupational Medicine, Department of Emergency Medicine, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, First Floor, Silverstein Pavilion, Philadelphia, PA 19104-4283, USA.

Published: March 2017

Sleep disorders and occupational hazards, injuries, and illnesses impact an individual's overall health. In the United States, substantial racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities exist in sleep and occupational health. Primary care physicians working in underserved communities should be aware of this disparity and target these higher-risk populations for focused evaluation and intervention.

Aristolochic Acid I (AAI) is widely present in traditional Chinese medicines derived from the Aristolochia genus and is known to cause significant damage to renal tubular epithelial cells. Genome-wide screening has proven to be a powerful tool in identifying critical genes associated with the toxicity of exogenous substances. To identify undiscovered key genes involved in AAI-induced renal toxicity, a genome-wide CRISPR library screen was conducted in the human kidney-2 (HK-2) cell line.

Importance: Blinding of individuals involved in randomized clinical trials (RCTs) can be used to protect against performance and biases, but discrepancies in the reporting of methodological features between registered protocols and subsequent trial publications may lead to inconsistencies, thereby reintroducing bias.

Objective: To investigate inconsistency in blinding as reported in trial registries and publications.

Data Sources: An exploratory dataset and a validation dataset were created.

We synthesized a squaraine dye (F-0) to develop a method for detecting pyrophosphate (PPi) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) by modulating the fluorescence of F-0. The fluorescence intensity of the F-0 system was quenched upon the addition of Cu ions; however, it was restored when PPi was introduced due to the formation of a complex between PPi and Cu. Since ALP can hydrolyze PPi, the fluorescence of the system was quenched again upon the addition of ALP.
