Chronological trend of social contact patterns in Japan after the emergence of COVID-19.

J Infect Public Health

Background: The social contact data for Japan as of 2022 showed a substantially decreased number of contacts compared with before the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it is unclear whether social contact continues to be depressed following the end of countermeasures against the pandemic. There is also scarce evidence regarding the influence of influenza-like illnesses (ILIs) on social contacts in Japan.

A mixed-ligand-based thermo-chemically robust and undulated metal-organic framework (MOF) is developed that embraces carboxamide moiety-grafted porous channels and activation-induced generation of open-metal site (OMS). The guest-free MOF acts as an outstanding heterogeneous catalyst in Hantzsch condensation for electronically assorted substrates with low catalyst loading and short duration under greener conditions than the reported materials. Besides Lewis acidic OMS, the carboxamide group activates the substrate via two-point hydrogen bonding, highlighting the effectiveness of custom-made functionalities in this multi-component reaction.

Mixed-mode separation of antisense oligonucleotides using a single column with complementary anion-exchange and hydrophobic interaction chromatography approaches.

J Chromatogr A

January 2025

Genetics Guided Dementia Discovery (G2D2), Eisai, Inc. 35 Cambridge Park Drive, Suite 200, Cambridge, MA, 02140, USA.

The current study investigates the use of mixed-mode chromatography as a combination of anion-exchange (AEX) and hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) for the analysis and purification of single-stranded antisense oligonucleotides with stereo-controlled phosphorothioate inter- nucleotide linkages. Initially a Scherzo-SS-C18 trimodal stationary phase with reversed-phase/AEX/ cation-exchange (CEX) functionalities is systematically evaluated to reveal the presence of U-shaped retention composed of two retention modes namely AEX and HIC, where the latter was also observed on related trimodal Scherzo SM and SW analogues. For the first time, retention and separation of deprotected oligonucleotides was described on a single mixed-mode column using a combination of AEX and HIC.

Background: Alcohol consumption can have detrimental effects on the liver, as it plays a crucial role in processing and detoxifying substances in the body, including alcohol. Alcohol has the potential to hinder the liver's capacity, which results in a variety of metabolic imbalances and deficiencies. This research aimed to investigate alterations in the liver tissue due to alcohol administered orally, along with exploring the potential protective effects of vitamin E against these alterations.

Article Synopsis
  • The diversity of β-glucans leads to their various biological functions, necessitating multiple enzymes for their assembly and breakdown, along with new discoveries for potential biotechnological uses.
  • Recent studies have identified and characterized two bacterial β-glucanases, LaGH157 and BcGH157, from the glycoside hydrolase family 157, detailing their structures and functions in hydrolysis.
  • Both enzymes display optimal activity at specific pH and temperature ranges and exhibit unique cleavage patterns, expanding knowledge on β-glucan processing and suggesting future applications in biotechnology.
