β-Aminophosphonates obtained by the Michael addition of primary amines to the double bond of diethyl vinylphosphonate proved to be suitable starting materials (amine components) in the Kabachnik-Fields reaction with formaldehyde and dialkyl phosphites or secondary phosphine oxides to afford -phosphonylmethyl- and -phosphinoylmethyl-β-aminophosphonates. On the other hand, the starting aminophosphonates were modified by -acylation using acid chlorides. The -acyl products were found to exist in a dynamic equilibrium of two conformers as suggested by the broad NMR signals. At 26 °C, there may be rotation around the N-C axis of the acylamide function. At the same time, low-temperature NMR measurements at -5 °C revealed the presence of two distinct rotamers that could be characterized by P, C and H NMR data. The modified β-aminophosphonic derivatives were subjected to a comparative structure-activity analysis on MDA-MB-231, PC-3, A431 and Ebc-1 tumor cell lines, and in a few cases, significant activity was detected.

Background: Mental health remains among the top 10 leading causes of disease burden globally, and there is a significant treatment gap due to limited resources, stigma, limited accessibility, and low perceived need for treatment. Problem Management Plus, a World Health Organization-endorsed brief psychological intervention for mental health disorders, has been shown to be effective and cost-effective in various countries globally but faces implementation challenges, such as quality control in training, supervision, and delivery. While digital technologies to foster mental health care have the potential to close treatment gaps and address the issues of quality control, their development requires context-specific, interdisciplinary, and participatory approaches to enhance impact and acceptance.

Donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) are essential causes of graft rejection in haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT). DSAs are unavoidable for some patients who have no alternative donor. Effective interventions to reduce DSAs are still needed, and the cost of the current therapies is relatively high.

The patient activation measure (PAM), a recognized measure of how active patients are in their care, is one of the most extensively used, widely translated, and tested instruments worldwide in measuring patient activation. This study aimed to assess the psychometric properties and construct validity of the Italian version of the 13-item Patient Activation Measure (PAM13-I) among patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. A multicenter study was conducted across 111 surgical units in Italy.

Spaceflight-induced multi-organ dysfunction affects the health of astronauts and the safety of in-orbit flight. However, the effect of microgravity on the kidney and the underlying mechanisms are unknown. In the current study, we used a hindlimb unweighting (HU) animal model to simulate microgravity and employed histological analysis, ischemia-reperfusion experiments, renal ultrasonography, bioinformatics analysis, isometric force measurement, and other molecular experimental settings to evaluate the effects of microgravity on the kidneys and the underlying mechanisms involved in this transition.

Photooxidation and Cleavage of Ethynylated 9,10-Dimethoxyanthracenes with Acid-Labile Ether Bonds.

This paper describes a series of 12 9,10-dimethoxyanthracene derivatives functionalized with a range of electronically diverse ethynyl substituents at the 2 and 6 positions, aimed at tuning their optoelectronic properties and reactivity with singlet oxygen (O). Optical spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and density functional theory calculations reveal that the ethynyl groups decrease the HOMO-LUMO gaps in these acenes. Notably, bis(dimethylanilineethynyl) substituents increase the wavelength of absorbance onset by over 60 nm compared to 9,10-dimethoxyanthracene (DMA).
