For 8 months we have studied the performance of the laser flow cytometry system Spectrum III (Ortho Diagnostic Systems). We have investigated problems caused by the setting and the calibration, assessment of the rhythm, the repetitiveness and the contamination, and compared the results obtained with the Spectrum III with those obtained using a fluorescence microscope. As an example of an immunopathological application, we have assessed the results obtained in the analysis of peripheral blood from 20 patients with B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia and 300 suspect AIDS patients.

Antibacterial screening of endophytic fungi from Salacia intermedia identified Diaporthe longicolla as a potent strain exhibiting good activity against multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, with an MIC of 39.1 µg/mL. Scale-up fermentation and chromatographic purification of this strain yielded three known compounds, which were cytochalasin J (1), cytochalasin H (2), and dicerandrol C (3), as identified by liquid chromatography - high mass resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.

From phenotypic to molecular diagnosis: Insights from a clinical immunology service focused on inborn errors of immunity in Colombia.

Biomedica

December 2024

Departamento de Microbiología, Facultad de Salud, Universidad del Valle, Cali, Colombia; Genetic Immunotherapy Section, Laboratory of Clinical Immunology and Microbiology, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, USA.

Introduction: Inborn errors of immunity include a broad spectrum of genetic diseases, in which a specific gene mutation might alter the entire emphasis and approach for an individual patient.

Objective: To conduct a comprehensive analysis of the correlation between phenotypic and molecular diagnoses in patients with confirmed inborn errors of immunity at a tertiary hospital in Cali, Colombia.

Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective study in which we sequentially evaluated all available institutional medical records with a diagnosis of inborn errors of immunity.

Bainbridge-Ropers Syndrome (BRPS) is a genetic condition resulting from truncating variants in the ASXL3 gene. The clinical features include neurodevelopmental and language impairments, behavioral issues, hypotonia, feeding difficulties, and distinctive facial features. In this retrospective study, we analyzed 22 Spanish individuals with BRPS, aiming to perform a detailed clinical and molecular description and establish a genotype-phenotype correlation.

An Open-Shell Fe Nitrido.

J Am Chem Soc

January 2025

Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Harvard University, 12 Oxford Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138, United States.

We report the photogeneration and characterization of an open-shell, terminal iron nitrido (L)Fe(N) using a sterically encumbered dipyrrin ligand environment. The Fe-N distance in the solid-state, zero-field Fe Mössbauer spectrum, and computational analysis are consistent with a triplet electronic ground state of the iron nitrido. Notably, the attenuation of Fe-N multiple bond character through occupying π* enables (i) primary C(sp)-H amination, (ii) H cleavage, (iii) aromatic C-C cleavage, and (iv) photocatalytic -atom transfer reactivity.

The risk of believing that emotions are bad and uncontrollable: association with orthorexia nervosa.

Eat Weight Disord

January 2025

Faculty of Science and Technology, Department of Psychology, Bournemouth University, Poole, UK.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore emotional functioning in individuals with varying levels of orthorexia nervosa (ON) symptoms. Given the established links between emotion dysregulation and other eating disorders (EDs), and the conceptualization of ON within the ED spectrum, this research sought to examine the relationships between ON symptomatology and emotion regulation strategies, alexithymia, and beliefs about emotions.

Methods: A large sample (N = 562) completed self-report measures with high psychometric properties, assessing ON traits (E-DOS), emotion regulation strategies (DERS-SF and ERQ), alexithymia (TAS-20), and beliefs about emotions (ERQ).
