Affinity chromatography is the method of choice for the rapid purification of proteins from cell extracts or culture supernatants. Here, we present the light-responsive Azo-tag, a short peptide comprising p-(phenylazo)-L-phenylalanine (Pap), whose side chain can be switched from its trans-ground state to the metastable cis-configuration by irradiation with mild UV light. Since only trans-Pap shows strong affinity to α-cyclodextrin (α-CD), a protein exhibiting the Azo-tag selectively binds to an α-CD chromatography matrix under daylight or in the dark but elutes quickly under physiological buffer flow when illuminating the column at 355 nm.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is one of the most common sleep disorders. Positive airway pressure therapy (PAP) is considered the gold standard for treating OSA. Yet, optimal therapy might not be achieved in some cases of severe OSA, despite using maximum settings.

Patients with Down syndrome (DS) have a high incidence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) due to hypotonia, weight, underdeveloped midface, and relative macroglossia. This article presents three cases of young adults with DS, who were diagnosed with mild to severe OSA and unable to tolerate positive airway pressure therapy. These patients have been successfully treated with a custom-made mandibular advancement device (MAD) or dual treatment with MAD and bi-level positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is common in commercial drivers, and associated with increased risk of crashes if untreated, making diagnosis and effective treatment crucial in this population.

Study Design And Methods: This is a retrospective summary of a clinical programme based on telemedicine and remote treatment monitoring developed with a national trucking company to screen new hires in the USA for OSA and implement positive airway pressure (PAP) management. New hires were informed of the programme and consented as part of their employment.

Mild Permissive Alkalosis Improves Outcomes in Porcine Negative Pressure Ventilation Ex-Situ Lung Perfusion.

Electronic address:

Background: Ex-Situ Lung Perfusion (ESLP) employs a membrane deoxygenator and mixed (N/O/CO) or pure sweep gas (CO) to target venous blood gas composition with physiologic pCO and pH. Clinically, mild permissive alkalosis counteracts elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) to improve perfusion. Increased PVR and pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) during ESLP mirrors rising pro-inflammatory cytokines.
