Article Abstract
The challenging hypothesis of a "biphilic" (i.e., electrophilic vs nucleophilic) character for dioxirane reactivity, which envisages that electron-poor alkenes are attacked by dioxiranes in a nucleophilic fashion, could not be sustained experimentally. Rate data, which estimate Hammett "rho" values for the epoxidation of 3- or 4-substituted cinnamonitriles X x Ph-CH=CH-CN, unequivocally allow one to establish that dioxiranes epoxidize electrophilically even alkenes carrying electron-withdrawing groups. The greater propensity of methyl(trifluoromethyl)dioxirane TFDO (1b) to act as an electrophilic oxidant with respect to dimethyldioxirane DDO (1a) parallels the cathode reduction potentials for the two dioxiranes, as measured by cyclic voltammetry. A simple FMO approach for alkene epoxidation is helpful to conceive a likely rationale for the greater oxidizing power of TFDO as compared to DDO.

The Association Between Obesity and Depressive Symptoms: Mediation by C-Reactive Protein and Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio.
Alpha Psychiatry
August 2025
Department of Mental Health, The Second Hospital of Lanzhou University, 730000 Lanzhou, Gansu, China.
Background: Obesity and depressive disorders are significant public health concerns, and their association is well-documented. This study investigates the role of inflammatory markers, specifically C-reactive protein (CRP) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), in mediating the relationship between obesity and depressive symptoms.
Methods: We utilized data from 37,538 adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), covering the period from 2005 to March, 2020, pre-pandemic.
Pan-carcinoma sialyl-Tn-targeting expands CAR therapy to solid tumors.
Cell Rep Med

Translational Research Unit, Department of Cellular Therapy, Oslo University Hospital, Sognsvannsveien 20, 0372 Oslo, Norway. Electronic address:
Accurate identification of tumor-specific markers is vital for developing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-based therapies. While cell surface antigens are seldom cancer-restricted, their post-translational modifications (PTMs), particularly aberrant carbohydrate structures, offer attractive alternatives. Among these, the sialyl-Tn (STn) antigen stands out for its prevalent presence in various epithelial tumors.

Postharvest deterioration in table grapes, driven by fungal pathogens and oxidative damage, remains a critical concern. This study evaluated the synergistic potential of 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) and Metschnikowia pulcherrima (Y) in preserving the quality of Red Globe grapes. The combined treatment of EBR and Y (YBR) significantly enhanced phenolic biosynthesis, elevating flavonoids and anthocyanin by 27.

Allergol Immunopathol (Madr)
September 2025
Department of Chest Diseases, Division of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Erciyes University School of Medicine, Kayseri, Türkiye.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether fluoroquinolone antibiotics, which are structurally distinct from penicillins, can be safely prescribed as alternatives for patients with a history of immediate-type hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) to penicillin in the absence of multidrug allergy and without the need for provocation testing.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of the medical records of patients who presented to the Erciyes University Adult Immunology and Allergy Outpatient Clinic with a documented history of penicillin allergy between 2015 and 2024. Inclusion criteria for immediate hypersensitivity to penicillin included at least one of the following: (1) a history of at least two separate immediate HSRs to the same penicillin; or (2) positive results from penicillin G/V (Penicillin G and Penicillin V) serum-specific immunoglobulin E (SsIgE) and/or skin prick testing.
Carpal tunnel syndrome with both AA amyloidosis and elderly-onset Still disease: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore)
September 2025
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Kagawa University, Kagawa, Japan.
Rationale: This study reports a rare case of both AA amyloidosis and elderly-onset Still disease presenting as fever following carpal tunnel syndrome surgery.
Patient Concerns: A 79-year-old man reported numbness, pain, and muscle weakness in his right hand for several months.
Diagnoses: We performed carpal tunnel opening surgery and a synovial biopsy because of significant synovial tissue in the carpal tunnel.
