Article Abstract
Parahydrogen-induced nuclear polarization offers a significant increase in the sensitivity of NMR spectroscopy to create new probes for medical diagnostics by magnetic resonance imaging. As precursors of the biocompatible hyperpolarized probes, unsaturated derivatives of phosphoric acid, propargyl and allyl phosphates, are proposed. The polarization transfer to H and P nuclei of the products of their hydrogenation by parahydrogen under the ALTADENA and PASADENA conditions, and by the PH-ECHO-INEPT+ pulse sequence of NMR spectroscopy, resulted in a very high signal amplification, which is among the largest for parahydrogen-induced nuclear polarization transfer to the P nucleus.
Background & Aims: Approximately 40% of patients with Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) show incomplete response to ursodeoxycholic acid, thus needing second-line treatment to prevent disease progression. As no head-to-head comparison study is available, we used a network meta-analysis (NMA) to compare efficacy and safety of available second-line therapies.
Methods: We performed a systematic literature review including randomised, placebo-controlled trials of patients with PBC and incomplete response, or intolerance, to ursodeoxycholic acid, and compared relative risks (RRs) for primary (biochemical response at 52-week) and secondary outcomes [incidence of new-onset pruritus and serious adverse events (SAEs)].

Herein, we present the enantioselective synthesis of 2,3-dihydro-4-quinolones bearing chiral tetrasubstituted carbons from isatins and 2'-aminoacetophenones. The transformation is mediated by a chiral phosphoric acid catalyst and proceeds via an generated ketimine and subsequent enantioselective intramolecular cyclization. The methodology features a broad scope and functional group tolerance with yields and enantioselectivities of up to 99% and 98% ee.
BACKGROUND High-energy injuries, like car accidents, can cause thoracolumbar burst fractures, leading to spinal instability and cord compression. Anterior decompression with stabilization provides strong support, kyphosis correction, and bone fusion. This study evaluated long-term outcomes of using a nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide 66 strut in 38 thoracolumbar fracture cases.
Objective: Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the dynamics of histoarchitectural changes in the bone-ceramic regenerate after transplantation β-tricalcium phosphate into an experimental defect in the rabbit mandible.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: Adult male rabbits aged 6-7 months and weighing 2.5-3 kg were used for the study.
