We report on a joint experimental and theoretical study of photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) in methyloxirane. By detecting O 1s photoelectrons in coincidence with fragment ions, we deduce the molecule's orientation and photoelectron emission direction in the laboratory frame. Thereby, we retrieve a fourfold differential PECD clearly beyond 50%. This strong chiral asymmetry is reproduced by ab initio electronic structure calculations. Providing such a pronounced contrast makes PECD of fixed-in-space chiral molecules an even more sensitive tool for chiral recognition in the gas phase.

Syphilitic Hepatitis: An Uncommon Manifestation of Secondary Syphilis.

Cureus

November 2024

Department of Medicine, David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Health, Los Angeles, USA.

Syphilitic hepatitis is a rare manifestation of a sexually transmitted infection. Given its nonspecific presentation, it is important for clinicians to consider the diagnosis in sexually active patients presenting with elevated liver tests.  In this case, a 30-year-old man presented with an itchy rash and was diagnosed with an allergic reaction.

Introduction: TOMM40 and APOC1 variants can modulate the APOE-ε4-related Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk by up to fourfold. We aim to investigate whether the genetic modulation of ε4-related AD risk is reflected in brain morphology.

Methods: We tested whether 27 magnetic resonance imaging-derived neuroimaging markers of neurodegeneration (volume and thickness in temporo-limbic regions) are associated with APOE-TOMM40-APOC1 polygenic profiles using the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center Uniform Data Set linked to the AD Genetic Consortium data.

Background: Amphotericin B (AMB) is a drug used to treat vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), which is a fungal infection affecting the vagina and vulva. Nevertheless, the substance's limited capacity to dissolve in water leads to poor absorption when taken orally, hence diminishing its therapeutic efficacy. In order to address this limitation, β-cyclodextrin (βCD) was used to create AMB in the form of an inclusion complex.

Article Synopsis
  • Fat grafting is widely used in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery but can experience complications like fat necrosis, which is influenced by factors such as fat aspiration and graft size.
  • The study explored how the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF) and various cytokines by adipose-derived stromal cells (ADSCs) and differentiated adipocytes affects fat graft survival and angiogenesis.
  • Results showed that many ADSCs have high VEGF levels, promoting tissue survival post-transfer, but differentiation into adipocytes can take time and may not provide immediate support for angiogenesis.

Objectives: This study developed a novel dental resin incorporating metformin to repair root caries and periodontitis defects. The objectives were to: (1) Develop a novel dental resin with metformin release to fulfill the clinical requirements for mechanical properties; and (2) investigate the metformin release pattern and the effects on osteogenic and cementogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs).

Methods: Resin specimens with different concentrations of metformin were fabricated.
