To study the characteristics of borderline tumors (BOT) diagnosed during pregnancy, as either first diagnosis or relapse, to evaluate safety of expectant management.
15 women affected by BOT during pregnancy were included, to evaluate clinical and histo-pathological characteristics. Age of patient, parity, gestational age, follow-up time, size of tumor, surgical approach, type and timing of surgery, FIGO stage, and histologic type were obtained through retrospective review.
All patients except one were diagnosed with serous BOT (BOTs). Median follow-up time was 147 ± 57months. Eight women received first diagnosis of BOT and seven had diagnosis of BOT recurrence during pregnancy, including three with a second relapse and four with a third relapse. BOT were diagnosed at FIGO stage I in most patients (75%) of the first group and in 14.3% of the second group, respectively. Micropapillary pattern was present in 71.4% of patients with first diagnosis of BOT, but only in 14.2% in case of relapse. All relapses were BOTs. No patient with BOT and concomitant pregnancy developed an invasive recurrence later. Overall, 24 relapses occurred in 10 patients (66.7%). Altogether 24 pregnancies occurred during follow-up, with a high livebirth rate (91.6%) and only 2 spontaneous miscarriages.
According to our experience, an "expectation management" could be a safe option in case of both relapse of BOTs during pregnancy and first suspicion of BOT in pregnant women at advanced gestational age.

For the extraction step, a composite of methylene blue (MB), poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), and modified iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (IOMNPs) (PAA/IOMNPs) was used to adsorb DNA from the sample. MB-PAA/IOMNPs with adsorbed DNA were then separated from the solution with an external magnet and MB-DNA was eluted from PAA/IOMNPs with acetic acid. read more In the detection step, MB-DNA was adsorbed on the surface of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES)-modified glassy carbon electrode via electrostatic force. DNA was quantified by measuring the oxidation peak of MB at a potential -0.13 V vs. Ag/AgCl using differential pulse voltammetry. Under the optimal experimental conditions, the DNA sensor showed linear ranges from 0.001 to 0.005 pg μL-1, 0.005 to 0.070 pg μL-1, and 0.070 to 0.400 pg μL-1 and a limit of detection of 0.87 fg μL-1. The proposed sensor detected trace DNA in real samples with recoveries that ranged from 80.4 to 90.4%.♀Epinephelus fuscoguttatus × ♂Epinephelus lanceolatus, a hybrid grouper created from artificial breeding, has been widely developed over the past decades. However, the study focusing on lukewarm high-protein-content fish species using advanced techniques has rarely been reported. In this work, the TMT (tandem mass tag)-assisted technique was employed to explore its differentially expressed proteins and response mechanisms under low-temperature dormant and waterless stresses. link2 Our findings suggest that 162 and 258 differentially expressed proteins were identified under low-temperature dormant and waterless stresses, respectively. The waterless preservation treatment further identifies 93 differentially expressed proteins. The identified proteins are categorized and found to participate in lipid metabolism, glycometabolism, oxidative stress, immune response, protein and amino acid metabolism, signal transduction, and other functions. Accordingly, the factors that affect the response mechanisms are highlighted to provide new evidences at protein level.Time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and spectrophotometric methods were used for speciation analysis in systems disulfides (cystine, cystamine, homocystine, 3,3-dithiodipropionic acid) - [PdCl4]2- or [PtCl4]2-. We use the M06-2X and CAM-B3LYP density functionals with Def2-SVP basis set to reproduce the experimental UV-vis spectra; the polarized continuum solvation model (PCM) was fitted to take into account solvation effects of the medium (water). Used methods have shown the good agrees with the experiment - theoretical values of transition energies differ from real parameters within ±0.15 eV for functional CAM-B3LYP. Binuclear disulfide complexes of Pd(II) with cystine and cystamine have form S,N-coordination sites, instead of S,S-conformation. It was shown that Pd(II) thiolate complexes formed by cleavage of the disulfide bond exist as [PdCl3L] and [Pd2S2L2]. Pt(II)-disulfide systems have confirmed the presence of [Pt2Cl6(R-SS-R)] and [PtCl4(S-R)] complex species. The DFT/CAM-B3LYP/Def2-SVP/SMD level can be recommended for theoretical estimations of absorption spectra of complexes of palladium or platinum and sulfur-containing ligands.Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that COVID-19 is a pandemic having a higher spread rate rather than the mortality. Identification of a potential approach or therapy against COVID-19 is still under consideration. Therefore, it is essential to have an insight into SARS-CoV-2, its interacting partner, and domains for an effective treatment. The present study is divided into three main categories, including SARS-CoV-2 prominent receptor and its expression levels, other interacting partners, and their binding domains. The first section focuses primarily on coronaviruses' general aspects (SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV, and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronaviruses (MERS-CoV)) their structures, similarities, and mode of infections. The second section discusses the host receptors which includes the human targets of coronaviruses like dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4), CD147, CD209L, Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2), and other miscellaneous targets (type-II transmembrane serine proteases (TTSPs), furin, trypsin, cathepsins, thermolysin, elastase, phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate 5-kinase, two-pore segment channel, and epithelium sodium channel C-α subunit). The human cell receptor, ACE2 plays an essential role in the Renin-Angiotensin system (RAS) pathway and COVID-19. link3 Thus, this section also discusses the ACE2 expression and risk of COVID-19 infectivity in various organs and tissues such as the liver, lungs, intestine, heart, and reproductive system in the human body. Absence of ACE2 protein expression in immune cells could be used for limiting the SARS-CoV-2 infection. The third section covers the current available approaches for COVID-19 treatment. Overall, this review focuses on the critical role of human cell receptors involved in coronavirus pathogenesis, which would likely be used in designing target-specific drugs to combat COVID-19.Plants catalyze the biosynthesis of a large number of non-protein amino acids, which are usually toxic for other organisms. In this review, the chemistry and metabolism of N-heterocyclic non-protein amino acids from plants are described. These N-heterocyclic non-protein amino acids are composed of β-substituted alanines and include mimosine, β-pyrazol-1-yl-L-alanine, willardiine, isowillardiine, and lathyrine. These β-substituted alanines consisted of an N-heterocyclic moiety and an alanyl side chain. This review explains how these individual moieties are derived from their precursors and how they are used as the substrate for biosynthesizing the respective N-heterocyclic non-protein amino acids. In addition, known catabolism and possible role of these non-protein amino acids in the actual host is explained.
Inflammatory vascular disease of the arteries, such as inflamed atheromatous plaques or arteritis, may cause aneurysms or ischemic strokes. In this context, using positron emission tomography (PET) to image inflammation may help select patients who would benefit from appropriate therapeutic interventions. This study sought to assess the usefulness of the 18kDa translocator protein (TSPO) tracers [
C]-PBR28 and [
F]-PBR06 for imaging inflammatory vascular disease in vitro and in vivo. Immunohistochemistry for macrophage infiltration as well as autoradiography with [
F]-PBR06 were performed on eight paraffin-embedded, formalin-fixed atherosclerosis plaques prospectively collected after carotid endarterectomy of eight patients affected by ischemic stroke. Six different patients, one of whom was also included in the in vitro study, underwent PET imaging. Two patients with carotid stenosis associated with ischemic stroke were imaged with [
F]-PBR06 PET/CT, and four other patients (three with large vessel vasculitis and one with bilateral carotid stenosis but without stroke) were imaged with [
C]-PBR28.
All in vitro sections showed specific binding of [
F]-PBR06, which co-localized with immunohistochemistry markers for inflammation. However, in vivo TSPO imaging with either [
C]-PBR28 or [
F]-PBR06 was negative in all participants.
Despite good uptake on surgical samples in vitro, [
C]-PBR28 and [
F]-PBR06 are not viable clinical tools for imaging inflammatory vascular disease.

The model has been expanded to study the effect of various pH by adding hydronium and hydroxide ions solvated by water molecules to the template-monomer system, to mimic acidic and basic environments, respectively. This could be considered a model study towards a potential use of molecular imprinting method for the design of a transdermal patch for a topical and direct delivery of (s)-propranolol to hemangiomas. In addition, this study provides detailed binding site analysis of the template and functional monomer verified by the theoretical IR spectra analysis, as well as solvent and pH effects on template-monomer binding energy.
Dynamic indicators of preload currently only do reflect preload requirements of the left ventricle. To date, no dynamic indicators of right ventricular preload have been established. The aim of this study was to calculate dynamic indicators of right ventricular preload and assess their ability to predict ventricular volume responsiveness.
The study was designed as experimental trial in 20 anaesthetized pigs. Micro-tip catheters and ultrasonic flow probes were used as experimental reference to enable measurement of right ventricular stroke volume and pulse pressure. Hypovolemia was induced (withdrawal of blood 20ml/kg) and thereafter three volume-loading steps were performed. ROC analysis was performed to assess the ability of dynamic right ventricular parameters to predict volume response.
ROC analysis revealed an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.82 (CI 95% 0.73-0.89; p < 0.001) for right ventricular stroke volume variation (SVV
), an AUC of 0.72 (CI 95% 0.53-0.85; p = 0.02) for pulmonary artery pulse pressure variation (PPV
) and an AUC of 0.
