BACKGROUND Photo-editing has become popular for individuals using social media like Instagram. However, it is unknown if the use of social media and photo-editing applications by young adults has an association with seeking dermatologic care. OBJECTIVE To assess the frequency of photo-editing among a cohort of young adults using Instagram and the association with seeking dermatologic care. METHODS A population-based survey was administered to undergraduate students from April 2019 to May 2019 through an online platform. RESULTS Of the 257 responses, 228 (88.7%) reported that they edited a photo prior to posting on Instagram. Of those who reported editing a photo, 145 (63.6%) edited a skin lesion, 104 (45.6%) whitened teeth, and 70 (30.7%) altered the size of their body. Of those who edited skin lesions, 128 (88.3%) edited acne/acne scars. Those who felt the editing made them more aware of their skin lesions were significantly more likely to feel they needed to see a dermatologist (p=0.02, 95% CI). CONCLUSION Photo-editing is common among young adults using Instagram, especially in individuals with acne/acne scars. The effect of this behavior may be a motivating factor for individuals seeking dermatologic care. This article is protected by copyright.

This β -alkylation of secondary methyl carbinols with primary alcohols has significant advantage of delivering higher-order secondary alcohols in an economical, redox-neutral fashion. In addition, the first enantioselective Guerbet reaction has also been achieved using a commercially available chiral ruthenium complex to deliver secondary alcohols with moderate yield and up to 92% ee. In both reactions, the use of a traceless ketone promoter proved to be beneficial for the catalytic efficiency. © 2020 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Herein, we adopt a though-bond energy transfer (TBET) strategy by bridging boron dipyrromethene (Bodipy) and a Cu(I) complex with an electronically conjugated bridge, resulting in the first SVLA Cu(I) PSs ( Cu-2 and Cu-3 ). Cu-3 possesses an extremely high molar extinction coefficient of 162260 M -1 cm -1 at 518 nm, over 62 times higher than that of traditional Cu(I) PS ( Cu-1 ). Bay 11-7085 order Remarkably, the photooxidation activity of Cu-3 is substantially greater than that of Cu-1 and noble-metal PSs (Ru(bpy) 3 2+ and Ir(ppy) 3 + ) for both energy- and electron-transfer reactions. Femto- and nanosecond transient absorption and theoretical investigations demonstrate that a "ping-pong" energy-transfer process in Cu-3 involving a forward singlet TBET from Bodipy to the Cu(I) complex and a backward triplet-triplet energy transfer greatly contributed to the long-lived and Bodipy-localized triplet excited state. © 2020 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Recently, autophagy is revealed to play a vital role in neuroepithelium development and neurulation. Autophagy and beclin 1 regulator 1 (Ambra1) is a crucial regulator of autophagy initiation, and its deficiency in mice leads to exencephaly and/or spina bifida. However, the genetic contribution of AMBRA1 to the etiology of human NTDs remains unknown. In this study, we identified five rare missense mutations of AMBRA1 in 352 NTDs cases, which were absent in 224 matched controls. Western blotting and fluorescence puncta counting for MAP1LC3A/LC3 in HEK293T cells suggested that four of the mutations (AMBRA1 p.Thr80Met, p.Leu274Phe, p.Ser743Phe, and p.Met884Val) affected autophagy initiation to various extents. Furthermore, these four mutations also displayed loss-of-function effects compared with wild-type AMBRA1 when we injected messenger RNA (mRNA) to overexpress or rescue ambra1a-morpholino oligos (MO) knockdown in zebrafish. It is intriguing that trehalose, a natural disaccharide, could rescue ambra1a-MO knockdown in a dose-dependent manner independently or together with AMBRA1 mRNA. Taken together, our findings suggest that rare mutations of the autophagy regulator gene AMBRA1 may contribute to the etiology of human neural tube defects, and trehalose is a promising treatment for a subset of NTDs caused by autophagy impairment. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.BACKGROUND AND AIM OF STUDY The convergent procedure (CVP) is a hybrid ablation technique via a subxiphoid incision that has recently emerged as a treatment option for non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (npAF). By combining endocardial and epicardial ablation into a simultaneous or staged procedure, the pulmonary vein and posterior left atrium can be isolated with transmural lesion sets while minimizing the risk of proarrhythmic gaps that are a known limitation with endocardial linear lesion sets. We reviewed the 12-month outcomes in patients who underwent CVP compared to those who underwent endocardial catheter ablation (CA) and surgical ablation (SA). METHODS A literature search was conducted using the PubMed database for publications related to CVP. Selected studies included detailed 12-month follow-up of patients, patient characteristics, periprocedural complications, use of antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs), and monitoring method. RESULTS Five studies with 340 patients who underwent CVP between January 2009 and March 2017 were selected for this review. A total of 8.5% of patients had paroxysmal AF (pAF), 42.2% had persistent AF (peAF), and 49.1% had long-standing persistent AF (lspAF). At 12 months, 81.9% of patients were in sinus rhythm, while 54.1% of patients were in sinus rhythm while not taking AADs. The overall complication rate was 10%. CONCLUSION CVP had better 1-year efficacy in eliminating AF when compared to CA. However, SA, specifically the Cox Maze IV, had lower rates of AF recurrence in the npAF patient population. Despite its promising 1-year efficacy rates, the periprocedural complication rate for CVP was significantly higher than both CA and SA. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
