Article Abstract

Deoxynivalenol (DON) is the most abundant mycotoxin in cereal crops and derived foods and is of great concern in agriculture. Bioremediation strategies have long been sought to minimize the impact of mycotoxin contamination, but few direct and effective enzyme-catalyzed detoxification methods are currently available. In this study, we established a multi-enzymatic cascade reaction and successfully achieved detoxification at double sites: glutathionylation for the C-12,13 epoxide group and epimerization for the C-3 hydroxyl group. This yielded novel derivatives of DON, 3-epi-DON-13-glutathione (3-epi-DON-13-GSH) as well as its by-product, 3-keto-DON-13-GSH, for which precise structures were validated via liquid chromatography-high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Both cell viability and DNA synthesis assays demonstrated dramatically decreased cytotoxicity of the double-site modified product 3-epi-DON-13-GSH. These findings provide a promising and urgently needed novel method for addressing the problem of DON contamination in agricultural and industrial settings.

The development of anode materials for lithium-ion batteries must meet the demands for high safety, high energy density, and fast-charging performance. TiNbO is notable for its high theoretical specific capacity, low structural strain, and exceptional fast-charging capability, attributed to its Wadsley-Roth crystal structure. However, its inherently poor conductivity has hindered its practical application.

Myocardial injury constitutes a life-threatening complication of sepsis, driven by synergistic oxidative-inflammatory pathology involving dysregulated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and proinflammatory cytokines. This pathophysiological cascade remarkably elevates morbidity and mortality rates in septic patients, emerging as a key contributor to poor clinical outcomes. Despite its clinical significance, no clinically validated therapeutics currently exist for managing septic cardiomyopathy.

Background: Hospital falls represent a persistent and significant threat to safety within health care systems worldwide, impacting both patient well-being and the occupational health of health care staff. While patient falls are a primary concern, addressing fall risks for all individuals within the health care environment remains a key objective. Caregiver visibility and spatial monitoring are recognized as crucial considerations in mitigating fall-related incidents.

Background: Congenital accessory auricle is a common aurcile malformation, often associated with tragus malformation, impacting the appearance and psychology of patients. To optimize surgical treatments for congenital accessory auricle with tragus malformation, this article proposes a novel classification and explores surgical strategies.

Methods: This retrospective study included 120 patients with congenital accessory auricle and tragus malformation who underwent surgery between December 2019 and June 2024.

Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a systemic illness with increasingly subtle disease manifestations including sleep disruption. Patients with PH are at increased risk for disturbances in circadian biology, although to date there is no data on "morningness" or "eveningness" in pulmonary vascular disease.

Research Questions: Our group studied circadian rhythms in PH patients based upon chronotype analysis, to explore whether there is a link between circadian parameters and physiologic risk-stratifying factors to inform novel treatment strategies in patients with PH?

Study Design And Methods: We serially recruited participants from July 2022 to March 2024, administering in clinic the Munich Chronotype Questionnaire (MCTQ).
