Article Abstract

Ozone (O) is ubiquitous in the environment and exposure to high levels of O has been associated with various respiratory diseases, such as asthma, emphysema, and bronchitis. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a simple and efficient detection method for monitoring O in the environment and living cells. In this study, an intramolecular charge-transfer (ICT) compound was designed and synthesized based on a phenol-type hemicyanine dye and 4-bromo-1-butene, which could specifically detect O in aqueous solution. Due to the ICT process, the absorption spectrum, fluorescence spectrum, and color of the probe hemicyanine-butyl-3-enyl (HCB) changed significantly and thus the rapid and sensitive detection of O was realized. The interaction between O and the probe HCB could be completed within 40 min, and the detection limit of O was as low as 2.15 × 10 mol L. Finally, the proposed method was successfully applied to the visual detection of O in a simulated O environment and living cells.

Introduction: von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is an autosomal dominant hereditary disorder characterized by the development of tumor-like lesions in multiple organs. While central nervous system hemangioblastomas, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, and pancreatic cysts are commonly associated with VHL disease, there have been few reported cases of pancreatic hemangioblastoma in patients with VHL disease.

Case Presentation: A male patient in his 30s had been diagnosed with VHL disease and had been followed for cerebellar and spinal hemangioblastomas, and renal cell carcinoma, for which he had undergone several tumor resections, radiation therapy, and a ventriculoperitoneal shunt.

Deviance detection and regularity sensitivity in dissociated neuronal cultures.

Introduction: Understanding how neural networks process complex patterns of information is crucial for advancing both neuroscience and artificial intelligence. To investigate fundamental principles of neural computation, we examined whether dissociated neuronal cultures, one of the most primitive living neural networks, exhibit regularity sensitivity beyond mere stimulus-specific adaptation and deviance detection.

Methods: We recorded activity to oddball electrical stimulation paradigms from dissociated rat cortical neurons cultured on high-resolution CMOS microelectrode arrays.

A Rare Case of Plasmablastic Myeloma After Renal Transplant.

>From the University Clinic for Nephrology, Faculty of Medicine, Saints Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, Skopje, North Macedonia.

Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders are a serious complication after solid-organ transplant, with a reported incidence from 2% to 20%. Plasma cell neoplasms in solid-organ transplants represent a rare but increasingly serious complication after solid-organ transplant. We report a case of plasmablastic myeloma, a very rare variant of multiple myeloma with aggressive course and poor prognosis.

Construction of a bacterial surface display system using split green fluorescent protein (GFP) in Escherichia coli.

The cell surface display system employs carrier proteins to present target proteins on the outer membrane of cells. This system enables functional proteins to be exposed on the exterior of living cells without cell lysis, allowing direct interaction with the surrounding environment. A major limitation of conventional approaches is the difficulty in displaying large-sized enzymes or antibodies, despite their critical roles in applications requiring functional domains that must remain intact, such as catalytic or antigen-binding sites.

Overflow metabolism refers to the widespread phenomenon of cells excreting metabolic by-products into their environment. Although overflow is observed in virtually all living organisms, it has been studied independently and given different names in different species. This review highlights emerging evidence that overflow metabolism is governed by common principles in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.
