We observed late stent thrombosis image by optical coherence tomography (OCT) in vessels with off-label paclitaxel-eluting stents (PES) implantation. A 59-year-old Japanese man was treated with a single on-label PES for chronic coronary artery disease in the left circumflex artery. After 9 months, he was implanted with two linked PESs in the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and a single PES in the right coronary artery (RCA). He was examined for suspicion of a colon tumor by fiberscope after discontinuation of dual anti-platelet therapy without consultation. He complained of chest pain and was transferred to our center. Emergency coronary angiography demonstrated thrombotic total occlusion of the proximal LAD in the two linked PESs. After thrombus aspiration therapy, OCT was performed to evaluate the stents in the 3 vessels. The off-label two linked PESs demonstrated the same average neo-intimal hyperplasia (NIH) thickness and percentage of uncovered stent struts compared with the on-label PES in the RCA by visualized OCT image. However, the heterogeneity of NIH in the LAD stent was significantly higher than the stents in the other two vessels. The implantation of the two linked off-label and the heterogeneity of NIH may increase hyperplatelet coagulability more than on-label single PES use.

Many drug molecules contain functional groups, resulting in a torsional barrier corresponding to rotation around the bond linking the fragments. In medicinal chemistry and pharmaceutical sciences, inclusive of drug design studies, the exact calculation of the potential energy surface (PES) of these molecular torsions is extremely important and precious. Machine learning (ML), including deep learning (DL), is currently one of the most rapidly evolving tools in computer-aided drug discovery and molecular simulations.

Introduction: Rathke's cleft cyst (RCC) and primary empty sella syndrome (PESS) are usually incidental findings on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. In most cases, these lesions do not cause mass effect symptoms and do not require surgical intervention. In patients with RCC or PESS, it is important to exclude secondary adrenal insufficiency (SAI), which may be a life-threatening condition.

The decline in episodic memory (EM) performance is a hallmark of cognitive aging and an early clinical sign in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In this study, we conducted an epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) using DNA methylation (DNAm) profiles from buccal and blood samples for cross-sectional (n = 1019) and longitudinal changes in EM performance (n = 626; average follow-up time 5.4 years) collected under the auspices of the Lifebrain consortium project.

The increasing feasibility of assembling large genomic datasets for non-model species presents both opportunities and challenges for applied conservation and management. A popular theme in recent studies is the search for large-effect loci that explain substantial portions of phenotypic variance for a key trait(s). If such loci can be linked to adaptations, 2 important questions arise: 1) Should information from these loci be used to reconfigure conservation units (CUs), even if this conflicts with overall patterns of genetic differentiation? 2) How should this information be used in viability assessments of populations and larger CUs? In this review, we address these questions in the context of recent studies of Chinook salmon and steelhead (anadromous form of rainbow trout) that show strong associations between adult migration timing and specific alleles in one small genomic region.

8-Bromoguanosine is generated in vivo as a biomarker for early inflammation. Its formation and secondary reactions lead to a variety of biological sequelae at inflammation sites, most of which are mutagenic and linked to cancer. Herein, we report the formation of radical cations of 8-bromoguanine (8BrG) and 8-bromoguanosine (8BrGuo) and their reactions toward the lowest excited singlet molecular oxygen (O)─a common reactive oxygen species generated in biological systems.
