C*14115 differs from C*14020101 by one nucleotide substitution at position 1030 in exon 6.B*35460Q differs from B*35030101 by one nucleotide substitution at position 406 in exon 3.Previously described Lewis superacids are moisture sensitive and predominantly hard in character-features that severely limit their widespread use in orbital-controlled reactions and under non-inert conditions. Described here are adducts of bis(perchlorocatecholato)germane, the first hard and soft Lewis superacid based on germanium. Remarkably, the synthesis of this compound is performed in water, and the obtained H2 O adduct constitutes a strong Brønsted acid. If applied as an adduct with aprotic donors, it displays excellent activity in a diverse set of Lewis acid catalyzed transformations, covering hydrosilylation, hydrodefluorination, transfer hydrogenation, and carbonyl-olefin metathesis. Given the very straightforward synthetic access from two commercially available precursors, the unlimited water stability and the soft Lewis acidic character, it promotes the transfer of Lewis superacidity into organic synthesis and materials science.The amination of racemic alcohols to produce enantiopure amines is an important green chemistry reaction for pharmaceutical manufacturing, requiring simple and efficient solutions. Herein, we report the development of a cascade biotransformation to aminate racemic alcohols. This cascade utilizes an ambidextrous alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) to oxidize a racemic alcohol, an enantioselective transaminase (TA) to convert the ketone intermediate to chiral amine, and isopropylamine to recycle PMP and NAD+ cofactors via the reversed cascade reactions. The concept was proven by using an ambidextrous CpSADH-W286A engineered from (S)-enantioselective CpSADH as the first example of evolving ambidextrous ADHs, an enantioselective BmTA, and isopropylamine. A biosystem containing isopropylamine and E. coli (CpSADH-W286A/BmTA) expressing the two enzymes was developed for the amination of racemic alcohols to produce eight useful and high-value (S)-amines in 72-99 % yield and 98-99 % ee, providing with a simple and practical solution to this type of reaction.
Few, separate, small retrospective studies in giant cell arteritis (GCA) reported that patients (a) with diabetes mellitus had less positive temporal artery biopsies (TAB); (b) on angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I) or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB) experienced fewer relapses; and (c) on statins experienced the same frequency of clinical complications and relapses as non-exposed patients. This retrospective chart review study simultaneously investigated the impact of these 3 factors on a cohort of patients followed in 2 large Canadian centers (Hamilton and Toronto, ON).

One hundred and thirty-seven patients diagnosed with GCA between 1993 and 2015 were included in the study. Presenting symptoms, TAB results, disease complications and outcomes (relapses, duration of glucocorticoid use) were compared between exposed (diabetes/ACE/ARB/statin) and non-exposed patients, with adjustment for main potential confounding variables.

Temporal artery biopsies was less often positive in patients with pre-existing diabetes (relative risk 0.24; 95% CI 0.069-0.81). Patients who developed diabetes after diagnosis had a lower relapse-free survival (adjusted hazards ratio [HR] 0.28; 95% CI 0.095-0.84). Patients taking ARBs prior to diagnosis were more likely to successfully discontinue glucocorticoids without a flare in the following 3months (adjusted HR 2.46; 95% CI 1.2-5.3). Clinical complications and relapse rates did not differ between patients on statin therapy or not.

Diabetic patients with GCA were less likely to have a positive TAB, and more likely to relapse. ARB therapy prior to diagnosis showed an association with success at discontinuing glucocorticoids. Statin therapy did not alter the clinical presentation or course of GCA.

Differentiating left heart obstruction (LHO) from other severe illness in the neonatal period is challenging, and important for guiding clinical management. The aim of this study was to identify factors distinguishing LHO from non-LHO in neonates.

A retrospective, cohort study of neonates referred to the Newborn and Paediatric Emergency Transport Service, New South Wales, with suspected LHO during the epoch 1996-2016.

A total of 273 neonates were included; 240 with confirmed LHO. Administration of prostaglandin E
to infants with a structurally normal heart was not associated with impaired acid-base or oxygenation status. Pre-transport diagnostic accuracy of LHO was 74.4%; sensitivity 84.5%, positive predictive value 86.0%. On multivariable logistic regression, hepatomegaly (odds ratio 2.54; 95% confidence interval 1.05-6.16) was associated with confirmed LHO.

A low threshold for prostaglandin E
infusion should be maintained in infants with suspected LHO. Hepatomegaly is associated with a diagnosis of LHO and may be more useful than other parameters in predicting the condition.

Mirid bugs are zoophytophagous predators, that is, they display omnivorous behavior and feed on both plants and arthropods. Mirid bugs feed effectively on a wide range of prey, such as whiteflies, lepidopteran eggs and mites. In addition, the phytophagous behavior of mirid bugs can activate defenses in the plants on which they feed. Despite the positive biological attributes, their use still presents some constraints. Their establishment and retention on the crop is not always easy and economic plant damage can be caused by some mirid species. In this review, the current strategies for using zoophytophagous mirid bugs in horticultural crops, mainly Nesidiocoris tenuis, Macrolophus pygmaeus and Dicyphus hesperus, are reviewed. We discuss six different approaches which, in our opinion, can optimize the efficacy of mirids as biocontrol agents and help expand their use into more areas worldwide.
