The teaching of pathology at the 36 university departments of pathology is influenced by different curriculum structures. Teaching formats and the number of course hours vary considerably in some cases, partly due to structural circumstances at different locations. The teaching content appears to be largely congruent. Most of the medical staff are involved in teaching. The postgraduate training assistants would like good training and time to prepare the courses. The institute directors predominantly rate teaching as very important or important for them personally, whereas their satisfaction with the overall teaching situation at the locations is rated as "moderate." Students are largely satisfied with teaching. In addition to structured, interdisciplinary, and practical teaching, suggestions for improvement include, in particular, opportunities to participate in autopsies, the use of digital formats (e.g., in lectures, microscopy courses), a more precise introduction to the assessment of histopathological findings, and a better presentation of the fields of activity in pathology. Attempts should be made throughout Germany to standardize teaching more in order to better represent the subject to deaneries and examination offices. In addition, efforts should be made to modernize teaching content and methods to make the subject more attractive to potential new recruits.

A one-pot process involving cycloaddition of the azaoxyallyl cation with thioamide and a synchronous E1-type elimination of the C2 amino group from the cycloadduct is disclosed, leading to diverse alkylidene-4-thiazolidinones. Amine elimination under acid-free conditions or without quaternization and forging a stereoselective olefin formation were among the interesting reactivity traits revealed through the present work. Conjugated thioamide permitted side-chain branching through a three-component process.

A review in analytical progress for house dust mite allergens.

Rev Environ Health

March 2025

Key Laboratory of Environment Remediation and Ecological Health, Ministry of Education, College of Natural Resources and Environmental Science, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China.

House dust mite (HDM) allergens are one of the most important causes of allergenic diseases in the indoor environment. The World Health Organization (WHO) has defined risk thresholds for Group I HDM allergens as a concentration of 2 and 10 μg/mL in dust for producing asthma risk and polar asthma attacks, respectively. Continuing exposure to high concentrations of HDM allergens greatly increases the risk of developing allergic diseases.

Ligand-to-Ligand Charge Transfer Induced Red-Shifted Room Temperature Phosphorescence in Metal-Organic Frameworks.

J Am Chem Soc

March 2025

Department of Chemistry, and the Hong Kong Branch of Chinese National Engineering Research Center for Tissue Restoration and Reconstruction, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Clear Water Bay, Kowloon, Hong Kong 999077, PR China.

Research on room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been rapidly developed in recent years. However, it is still challenging to realize long-wavelength RTP (>580 nm). In this article, a new strategy is proposed to achieve the red-shifted RTP through constructing dual-ligand MOFs.

Synthesis of high-molecular-weight polypeptides and their block copolymer macromolecular architectures from β-sheet-promoting L-amino acids is still an unresolved problem. Here, an elegant steric hindrance-assisted ring-opening polymerization (SHAROP) strategy is introduced to access β-sheet poly(L-tyrosine) having more than 250 units. The scope of the synthetic methodology is expanded to access unexplored poly(L-tyrosine)-based higher-order β-sheet block copolymer nanoassemblies.

Temporal Dynamics of Depressive Symptoms, Apathy, Daily Activities, and Cognitive Decline in Older People From the General Population: A Network Analysis.

Am J Geriatr Psychiatry

February 2025

Department of Psychiatry (AJCS, EJG), Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, The Netherlands; Health Campus The Hague (EJG), Department of Public Health & Primary Care, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, The Netherlands. Electronic address:

Background: The prevalence of depressive symptoms, apathy, and cognitive decline increases with age. Understanding the temporal dynamics of these symptoms could provide valuable insights into the early stages of cognitive decline, allowing for more timely and effective treatment and management.

Methods: Participants from the Prevention of Dementia by Intensive Vascular Care (preDIVA) trial cohort with baseline and ≥3 follow-up measurements were included, with a median of 7.
