has the ability to produce steroidal intermediates known as 22-hydroxy-23, 24-bisnorchol-4-en-3-one (BA) upon the knockout of the genes for either the hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (Hsd4A) or acyl-CoA thiolase (FadA5). In a previous study, we discovered a novel metabolite in the fermentation products when the gene was deleted. This research aims to elucidate the metabolic pathway of this metabolite through structural identification, homologous sequence analysis of the gene, phylogenetic tree analysis of . HGMS2, and gene knockout. Our findings revealed that the metabolite is a C23 metabolic intermediate, named 24-norchol-4-ene-3, 22-dione (designated as 3-OPD). It is formed when a thioesterase (TE) catalyzes the formation of a β-ketonic acid by removing CoA from the side chain of 3, 22-dioxo-25, 26-bisnorchol-4-ene-24-oyl CoA (22-O-BNC-CoA), followed by spontaneously undergoing decarboxylation. These results have the potential to contribute to the development of novel steroid intermediates.

Two novel phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE-5) inhibitors were detected in pressed candy using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-diode array detection. Following extraction with acetonitrile and sonication, the compounds were isolated and purified semi-preparative liquid chromatography. Structural characterisation was achieved through high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.

Stormwater infiltration ponds (SIPs) are nature-based solutions which tend to decrease their infiltration capacity over time due to pore clogging. Organic matter (OM) is a well-known clogging driver, but how OM affects the physical and biochemical processes in a SIP remains largely unknown. An analysis encompassing soil organic carbon (SOC) stable isotopes, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) of biofilms, DNA-based identification of microbiological communities and hydrogeological tests was carried out to elucidate the main clogging mechanisms in a large SIP in Italy.

Alismatis Rhizoma (AR), a traditional Chinese medicine for treating obesity in traditional Chinese medicine clinic, is recognized as a promising source of lead compounds of lipase inhibitors. Ultrafiltration centrifugal combined with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UF-LC-MS) was used for screening potential lipase inhibitors from AR, and the result indicated the binding capacity between compound 7 and lipase (92.3 ± 1.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify key risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in urological inpatients using the Caprini scale and an interpretable machine learning method.
- It utilized the Boruta method for variable selection and the rough set method to create decision rules, comparing the results with advanced machine learning models like random forest, support vector machine, and backpropagation artificial neural networks.
- Key risk factors identified included age, major surgery, and malignancy, with the backpropagation neural network demonstrating the highest accuracy (97.2%) in predicting VTE risks.
