Chirality-matched catalyst-controlled macrocyclization tendencies.
Cell sorting is a commonly used technology to isolate highly purified cell populations for downstream applications. Because the sorted cells are destined for further analysis, i.e., gene expression assays or functional assays, ensuring that the sorting process itself has little effect on the cells is of utmost importance. Previous studies examining the effects of sorting on cellular function have primarily focused on a specific cell type or condition. One of the goals of the Flow Cytometry Research Group of the Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities is to establish best practice guidelines for cell sorting conditions that minimize cell stress, perturbation, or injury to the sorted cell population. In this study, the effects of nozzle size, sample pressure, UV exposure, and instrument type were evaluated for their effects on gene expression and cell cycle using both established cell lines and primary cells across several flow cytometry shared facilities. Results indicate that nozzle size and pressure, as well as UV exposure and instrument type, have only minor effects on gene expression, which were diminished by subsequent culturing of the sorted cells. In this assessment, these data demonstrate that cell sorting itself, regardless of instrumentation used, has minimal effects on downstream cellular applications.
In December 2019, outbreaks of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infected pneumonia patients were discovered in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. With the spread of the epidemic, new cases have been found in other regions of China and abroad. This review summarizes the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) transmission pathways, high-risk factors, diagnostic points, pathogenesis, and therapeutic drugs to provide the prevention and treatment theories for COVID-19.

COVID-19 is highly contagious and is transmitted mainly through the respiratory tract. Most patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection have milder symptoms. Some patients will have mild disease in the early stage, suddenly exacerbate later, and eventually die of multiple organ failure caused by cytokine storm. The basis for clinical diagnosis of COVID-19 is not just the detection of viral nucleic acids as the gold standard. The diagnostic accuracy improves when viral nucleic acid test is combined with clinical symptoms, CT results, and biochemical tests. For the treatment of COVID-19, the specific antiviral agents have not been developed, except for symptomatic supportive treatments.

The methods for detecting SARS-CoV-2 infection have become increasingly mature, but specific antiviral drugs for the treatment of COVID-19 have not yet been developed. Treatment must pay attention to the cytokine storm that leads to the seriousness of COVID-19.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has major health and economic impacts. We review disease characteristics in children.

Children comprise 1-2% of the diagnosed cases, and typically suffer mild disease. The median age of infected children is 3.3-11years, and male/female ratio is 1.15-1.55. Common symptoms in children include upper respiratory symptoms (26-54%), cough (44-54%), fever (32-65%), and gastrointestinal (15-30%) symptoms. Substantial proportion (4-23%) are asymptomatic. Death rates are up to 0.7%. Risk factors associated with severe disease are neonatal age group, male gender, lower respiratory tract disease, and pre-existing medical conditions. Vertical transmission was reported. Multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS), characterized by fever, multisystem organ involvement, and laboratory markers of inflammation, causes critical illness in > 50% of cases and is increasingly reported from endemic countries. Indirect effects of the coronavirus epidemic include higher rates of psychiatric morbidities, education loss, unhealthy lifestyle changes, and increased child neglect. Vaccines are in clinical trials and immunogenicity has not yet been shown in children.

Overall, COVID-19 has lower incidence and causes milder disease in children compared with adult patients. MIS is a rare severe complication more common in children. More data on the efficacy and safety of antivirals in children are needed.

A historical review of the methods and results are presented. VS-4718 mouse The influence of the SSDL in Warsaw on radiation protection of patients in Poland is discussed. The International Atomic Energy Agency together with World Health Organisation (IAEA/WHO), through its network of SSDLs around the world, propagates newly developed methods for calibration and auditing. Suitable high quality equipment was provided by the IAEA, as well as special materials and technical support to the SSDL in Warsaw. The activity of the SSDL and the services provided for Polish radiotherapy centres have resulted in a reduction of discrepancies between planned doses and doses delivered to patients. The newly tested IAEA methods of end-to-end on-site dosimetry audits allow for monitoring and improving the quality of IMRT in Poland. The traceability of standards used for the calibration of therapy level dosimeters from Polish radiotherapy centres is assured by the IAEA dosimetry laboratory. The consistency of methods performed in the Polish SSDL with the ISO17025 norm is supervised by the Polish Centre for Accreditation - a member of International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC), for calibration and testing. Due to the rapid technological development of radiotherapy, special attention has to be paid to newly developed methods for dosimetry auditing and institutions which provide services for assuring radiation safety of patients.
