    Abstract A formal enantioselective synthesis of benazepril.HCl (4), an anti- hypertensive drug, is reported. Our synthesis employed an asymmetric aza-Michael addition of L-homophenylalanine ethyl ester (LHPE, 1) to 4-(2-nitrophenyl)-4-oxo- but-2-enoic acid methyl ester (6) as the key step to prepare (2S,3'S)-2-(2-oxo-2,3,4,5- tetrahydro-1H-benzo[b]azepin-3-ylamino)-4-phenylbutyric acid ethyl ester (8), which is the key intermediate leading to benazepril x HCl (4).

    Abstract Deep Multi-Task Learning (DMTL) has been widely studied in the machine learning community and applied to a broad range of real-world applications. Searching for the optimal knowledge sharing in DMTL is more challenging for sequential learning problems, as the task relationship will change in the temporal dimension. In this paper, we propose a flexible and efficient framework called HierarchicalTemporal Activation Network (HTAN) to simultaneously explore the optimal sharing of the neural network hierarchy (hierarchical axis) and the time-variant task relationship (temporal axis). HTAN learns a set of time-variant activation functions to encode the task relation. A functional regularization implemented by a modulated SPDNet and adversarial learning is further proposed to enhance the DMTL performance. Comprehensive experiments on several challenging applications demonstrate that our HTAN-SPD framework outperforms SOTA methods significantly in sequential DMTL.

    Abstract Background: In the setting of the COVID pandemic, many patients falling ill with acute respiratory distress syndrome eventually require prone positioning for gas exchange. Traditionally, central venous catheters are inserted with patient in the supine or Trendelenburg position. However, when a patient cannot tolerate supine position and the need for central venous access is urgent, catheter placement may be considered with the patient in the prone position.
    Case summary: A 69-year-old male with rapidly declining respiratory status secondary to COVID pneumonia quickly developed acute respiratory distress syndrome, was rapidly intubated, and then placed in the prone position. Patient could not tolerate the supine position even briefly and required a central venous catheter insertion for continuous renal replacement therapy. We kept the patient in the prone position and successfully inserted a central venous catheter in such position with real-time ultrasound guidance and using micropuncture technique.
    Conclusion: In the setting of the COVID pandemic, many cases of acute respiratory distress syndrome require patients to be prone in order to improve gas exchange. In the most severe situations, these patients would not be able to tolerate rotating back to the supine position but would still require central venous catheter insertion urgently. We demonstrated feasibility of central venous catheter insertion in the prone position in these severely ill patients.

    Abstract Conventional energy-integration black-white X-ray imaging lacks the spectral information of X-ray photons. Although X-ray spectra (energy) can be distinguished by the photon-counting technique typically with CdZnTe detectors, it is very challenging to be applied to large-area flat-panel X-ray imaging (FPXI). Herein, multilayer stacked scintillators of different X-ray absorption capabilities and scintillation spectra are designed; in this scenario, the X-ray energy can be discriminated by detecting the emission spectra of each scintillator; therefore, multispectral X-ray imaging can be easily obtained by color or multispectral visible-light camera in a single shot of X-rays. To verify this idea, stacked multilayer scintillators based on several emerging metal halides are fabricated in a cost-effective and scalable solution process, and proof-of-concept multispectral (or multi-energy) FPXI are experimentally demonstrated. The dual-energy X-ray image of a "bone-muscle" model clearly shows the details that are invisible in conventional energy-integration FPXI. By stacking four layers of specifically designed multilayer scintillators with appropriate thicknesses, a prototype FPXI with four energy channels is realized, proving its extendibility to multispectral or even hyperspectral X-ray imaging. This study provides a facile and effective strategy to realize multispectral large-area flat-panel X-ray imaging.

    Abstract Background and purpose: Preferences can be developed for, or against, specific brands and services. Using two functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiments, this study investigated two dissociable aspects of reward processing, craving and liking, in chocolate lovers. The goal was to further delineate the neural basis supporting branding effects using familiar chocolate (FC) and unfamiliar chocolate (UC) brand images.
    Methods: In the first experiment, subjects rated their subjective craving and liking on a scale of 1-5 (weak-strong) for each FC and UC image. In the second experiment, they performed a choice task between FC and UC images.
    Results: Both the craving and liking ratings were significantly greater for FC and were differentially correlated with choice behavior. Craving ratings predicted greater preference for UC, and liking ratings predicted greater preference for FC. A contrast of neural activity for UC versus FC choice trials revealed significantly greater activation for UC choices in the bilateral inferior frontal gyrus and right caudate head. Response times for the FC images were faster than UC images; fMRI activity in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex was significantly correlated with response times during FC trials, but not UC trials. These correlations were significantly different from each other at the group level.
    Conclusions: The choices for branded chocolate products are driven by higher subjective reward ratings and lower neural processing demands.

    Abstract TRPA1 is pivotal in cold hypersensitivity, but its regulatory mechanisms in inflammatory cold hyperalgesia remain poorly understood. We show here that the upregulation of SUMO1-conjugated protein levels in a complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-induced inflammatory pain model enhances TRPA1 mRNA stability, ultimately leading to increased expression levels. We further demonstrate that hnRNPA1 binds to TRPA1 mRNA, and its SUMOylation, upregulated in CFA-induced inflammatory pain, contributes to stabilizing TRPA1 mRNA by accumulating hnRNPA1 in the cytoplasm. Moreover, we find that wild-type hnRNPA1 viral infection in dorsal root ganglia neurons, and not infection with the SUMOylation-deficient hnRNPA1 mutant, can rescue the reduced ability of hnRNPA1-knockdown mice to develop inflammatory cold pain hypersensitivity. These results suggest that hnRNPA1 is a regulator of TRPA1 mRNA stability, the capability of which is enhanced upon SUMO1 conjugation at lysine 3 in response to peripheral inflammation, and the increased expression of TRPA1 in turn underlies the development of chronic inflammatory cold pain hypersensitivity.
