Article Abstract
Rhabdopeptides are a large class of nonribosomal peptides from the bacteria Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus with low micromolar activity against different protozoa, which are the causative agents of several tropical diseases. The development of a facile and flexible synthesis combining backbone amide linking with on-resin peralkylation for the synthesis of permethylated rhabdopeptides is described. This strategy allows the fast generation of permethylated naturally occurring and artificial rhabdopeptides for a structure-activity study. Furthermore, in vitro experiments revealed their superior properties regarding their stability and passive membrane diffusion.

ObjectiveTo investigate the analgesic effects of acetaminophen-mannitol injections after endoscopic lumbar discectomy.MethodsThis is a prospective case-control study involving 60 patients who were randomly selected from those who underwent endoscopic lumbar discectomy for lumbar disc herniation or lumbar spinal stenosis at Sanshui District People's Hospital of Foshan between April and September 2024. Two groups were formed by randomly assigning patients, with each group containing 30 individuals.

The pH Low Insertion Peptide (pHLIP), a cell-penetrating peptide, presents an ideal model to study peptide-membrane interactions across a range of conformational states. The folded, solvent-exposed unfolded, and membrane-inserted states of pHLIP have been well-characterized, but the intermediate structures remain poorly understood. Studies have focused on understanding folding and membrane interactions; however, there is a relation between the environment, membrane interactions, and local picosecond dynamics that has not been characterized.

Background: Low back pain is a prevalent issue with various etiologies, one of which includes pars interarticularis (pars) defects. While traditional fluoroscopic guidance has been the standard for administering injections, both fluoroscopic and ultrasound-guided injections for the management of low back pain have been shown to be similar in efficacy. The benefits of ultrasound guidance include real-time visualization, reduced radiation exposure, and improved patient access.

General anesthesia (GA) is often preferred for cervical spine surgeries; however, it may pose risks for patients with severe comorbidities. This case report describes management of cervical decompression laminectomy using continuous thoracic spinal anesthesia (TSA) with hypobaric levobupivacaine in a high-risk elderly patient. This technique provided an effective alternative to GA.

Pain and side effects of analgesics hinder postoperative recovery after instrumented spine surgery. Current locoregional blocks and sustained-release formulations are limited by rapid systemic absorption. We evaluated the local and systemic safety of a bupivacaine-loaded hydrogel, co-implanted with pedicle screws, in a sheep spine surgery model.
