    Abstract Ethyl diazepane carboxylate catalyzes the oxy-Cope rearrangement of 4-hydroxy- and 4-alkoxy-1,5-hexadiene-2-carboxaldehydes via iminium ion activation. The resulting intermediate undergoes an intramolecular Michael reaction to furnish cyclopentane-containing products. The reaction proceeds with a range of substrates, including both cyclic and acyclic substrates, and tolerates substitution on the vinyl substituent. Substrates fused on a cycloalkane framework undergo net ring expansion/cyclopentannulation with a high degree of stereocontrol via chairlike transition states. The reaction extends iminium organocatalysis to the oxy-Cope rearrangement, embedded within a complexity-generating cascade transformation.

    Abstract Legumain is a lysosomal cysteine peptidase specific for an asparagine residue in the P1-position. It has been classified as a member of clan CD peptidases due to predicted structural similarities to caspases and gingipains. So far, inhibition studies on legumain are limited by the use of endogenous inhibitors such as cystatin C. A series of Michael acceptor inhibitors based on the backbone Cbz-L-Ala-L-Ala-L-Asn (Cbz= benzyloxycarbonyl) has been prepared and resulted in an irreversible inhibition of porcine legumain. Variation of the molecular size within the 'war head' revealed the best inhibition for the compound containing the allyl ester (kobs/I=766 M(-1) s(-1)). To overcome cyclisation between the amide moiety of the Asn residue and the 'war head', several asparagine analogues have been synthesised. Integrated in halomethylketone inhibitors, azaasparagine is accepted by legumain in the P1-position. The most potent inhibitor of this series, Cbz-L-Ala-L-Ala-AzaAsn-chloromethylketone, displays a k(obs)/I value of 139,000 M(-1) s(-1). Other cysteine peptidases, such as papain and cathepsin B, are not inhibited by this compound at concentrations up to 100 microM. The synthetic inhibitors described here represent useful tools for the investigation of the structural and physiological properties of this unique asparagine-specific peptidase.

    Abstract Background: A Toddler's Fracture (TF) is classically an isolated, nondisplaced, distal-third diaphyseal tibial spiral fracture in younger children. A TF is stable and has a low risk of complication. There is lack of uniformity as to the optimal treatment for TF. Immobilisation with full above knee casting, below knee casting, splinting, controlled ankle motion boots and no immobilisation are all strategies currently in use. There is limited data from European centres regarding those treated without immobilisation.
    Methods: A retrospective review of electronic medical and radiology records was performed to identify all children presenting to a multisite department of paediatric emergency medicine in Ireland from January to December 2022. Those with radiologically confirmed TF or a presumptive diagnosis of TF were included. Data retrieved for each child included initial treatment and the number of and reason for ED reattendances relating to the injury in the 6-month period following the injury.
    Results: 166 children were identified, 96 with radiologically confirmed TF and 70 with presumptive diagnosis TF. Girls accounted for 47 % of presentations. Fall from a standing height (33 %) was the most common mechanism. 13 % (22/166) children were managed without immobilisation. Those with radiologically confirmed fracture (91/96) were significantly more likely to be immobilised than those with a presumptive diagnosis (53/70) (p = 0.001). In total 28 patients (17 % of total) represented to the ED within 6 months. The representation rate in those immobilised was 17 %, while in those not immobilised was 13 % (p = 0.66).
    Conclusion: In this cohort, those with no radiological evidence of fracture are more likely to be managed without immobilisation. There was no significant difference in PED representations between those immobilised and not immobilised.

    Abstract Mitochondrial function-oxidative phosphorylation and the generation of reactive oxygen species-is critical in both health and disease. Thus, measuring mitochondrial function is fundamental in biomedical research. Skeletal muscle is a robust source of mitochondria, particularly in animals with a very high aerobic capacity, such as horses, making them ideal subjects for studying mitochondrial physiology. This article demonstrates the use of high-resolution respirometry with concurrent fluorometry, with freshly harvested skeletal muscle mitochondria, to quantify the capacity to oxidize substrates under different mitochondrial states and determine the relative capacities of distinct elements of mitochondrial respiration. Tetramethylrhodamine methylester is used to demonstrate the production of mitochondrial membrane potential resulting from substrate oxidation, including calculation of the relative efficiency of the mitochondria by calculating the relative membrane potential generated per unit of concurrent oxygen flux. The conversion of ADP to ATP results in a change in the concentration of magnesium in the reaction chamber, due to differing affinities of the adenylates for magnesium. Therefore, magnesium green can be used to measure the rate of ATP synthesis, allowing the further calculation of the oxidative phosphorylation efficiency (ratio of phosphorylation to oxidation [P/O]). Finally, the use of Amplex UltraRed, which produces a fluorescent product (resorufin) when combined with hydrogen peroxide, allows the quantification of reactive oxygen species production during mitochondrial respiration, as well as the relationship between ROS production and concurrent respiration. These techniques allow the robust quantification of mitochondrial physiology under a variety of different simulated conditions, thus shedding light on the contribution of this critical cellular component to both health and disease.

    Abstract Relatively little is known about how social relationships affect later life planning. Our study focuses on an underexamined aspect of social relationships, frequency of contact - not only with family members but also with friends. Using data from a survey of Floridians aged 50 and older conducted between December 2020 and April 2021 (n = 3,832), we examine the association between frequency of contact and five planning types: finances, health care, living arrangements, driving retirement, and end-of-life. We found that more frequent contact was associated with greater likelihood of planning, and this result was largely consistent across types of relationships and types of planning. Our findings suggest that contact with family members and friends may encourage more planning, which could reduce the stress that can accompany later life transitions. Our study offers further evidence of social relationships' centrality to later life well-being and points to the many benefits of enhancing them.
