The turnover number for band 3-mediated sulfate transport in phosphatidylcholine bilayers.

FEBS Lett

Max-Planck-Institut für Biophysik, Frankfurt am Main, FRG.

Published: January 1988

The anion transport system of the human erythrocyte membrane was reconstituted in unilamellar phosphatidylcholine vesicles, and a vesicle subpopulation of a narrow size distribution was isolated from the sample by gel filtration. In this subpopulation, the turnover number of the transport protein (the band 3 protein) for sulfate transport was determined. It was found that, in the reconstituted system, the protein transports sulfate 5-10 times faster than in the human erythrocyte membrane.

Fracture Prevention with Infrequent Zoledronate in Women 50 to 60 Years of Age.

N Engl J Med

January 2025

From the Department of Medicine, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand (M.J.B., Z.N., A.M., C.G., V.P., B.M., A.G., I.R.R., G.G., A.H.); the Department of Psychology, Stanford University, Stanford, CA (C.G.); and the Department of Radiology, Starship Hospital, Auckland, New Zealand (S.B.).

Background: Zoledronate prevents fractures in older women when administered every 12 to 18 months, but its effects on bone density and bone turnover persist beyond 5 years. Whether infrequent zoledronate administration would prevent vertebral fractures in early postmenopausal women is unknown.

Methods: We conducted a 10-year, prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial involving early postmenopausal women (50 to 60 years of age) with bone mineral density T scores lower than 0 and higher than -2.

Double reactive oxygen species system photoinduced by Cu NCs: synergistic catalysis of phenylacetylene self-coupling reaction.

Nanoscale

January 2025

School of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, School of Materials Science and Engineering and Anhui Province Key Laboratory of Chemistry for Inorganic/Organic Hybrid Functionalized Materials, Department of Chemistry and Center for Atomic Engineering of Materials, Key Laboratory of Structure and Functional Regulation of Hybrid Materials of the Ministry of Education, Anhui University, Hefei, 230601, China.

Atomically precise nanoclusters (NCs) can serve as an excellent platform for a comprehensive understanding of structure-property relationships. Herein, three structurally similar Cu NCs (Cu-1, Cu-2 and Cu-3) have been prepared for the photocatalytic phenylacetylene self-coupling reaction. It was found that Cu-1 NC achieved the highest turnover number (TON) of 524.

Optimizing Operating Room Efficiency for Primary Hip and Knee Arthroplasty Using Performance Benchmarks.

Arthroplast Today

February 2025

Division of Orthopaedic Surgery, Department of Surgery, The Ottawa Hospital, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Background: With increasing demand for total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA), maximizing operating room (OR) efficiency is critical. This paper sought to examine the implementation of time benchmarks when performing primary TKA and THA. We hypothesized that implementing benchmarks would improve efficiency and the number of joints performed per day.

Background: Thyroid hormone plays an important role in accumulating bone development and regulating bone metabolism. It is established that hypothyroidism is linked to increased risk of osteoporosis and fracture. However, the effects of levothyroxine (LT4) treatment on bone for hypothyroid patients remain controversial.

Zero-Valent Copper Catalysis Enables Regio- and Stereoselective Difunctionalization of Alkynes.

Jain University - Ramanagara Campus, Centre for Nano and Material Sciences, Jakkasandra Post Kanakapura Taluk, Ramanagara-562112, Bangalore, 562112, Bangalore, INDIA.

The development of a metallic copper-based catalyst system remains a significant challenge. Herein, we report the synthesis of highly stable, active, and reusable Cu0 catalyst for the carboboration of alkynes using carbon electrophiles and bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2pin2) as chemical feedstocks to afford di- and trisubstituted vinylboronate esters in a regio- and stereoselective manner with appreciable turnover number (TON) of up to 2535 under mild reaction conditions. This three-component coupling reaction works well with a variety of substituted electrophiles and alkynes with broad functional group tolerance.
