    Abstract Sulfilimines, as potential aza-isosteres of sulfoxides, are valued as building blocks, auxiliaries, ligands, bioconjugation handles, and as precursors to versatile S(VI) scaffolds including sulfoximines and sulfondiimines. Here, we report a thioether imination methodology that exploits O-(diphenylphosphinyl)hydroxyl amine (DPPH). Under mild, metal-free, and biomolecule-compatible conditions, DPPH enables late-stage S-imination on peptides, natural products, and a clinically trialled drug, and shows both excellent chemoselectivity and broad functional group tolerance. This methodological report is extended to an efficient and high-yielding one-pot reaction for accessing free-NH sulfoximines with diverse substrates including ones of potential clinical importance. In the presence of a rhodium catalyst, sulfoxides are S-iminated in higher yields to afford free-NH sulfoximines. S-imination was validated on an oxidatively delicate amatoxin to give sulfilimine and sulfoximine congeners. Interestingly, these new sulfilimine and sulfoximine-amatoxins show cytotoxicity. This method is further extended to create sulfilimine and sulfoximine-Fulvestrant and buthionine analogues.

    Abstract The development of COVID-19 vaccines is occurring at a rapid pace, with the potential for a vaccine to be available within 6 months. So who should be prioritized for vaccination when in the first instance, there will be insufficient supply to meet demand? There is no doubt that health-care workers in all settings should be vaccinated first, but who comes next will be a complex decision based on local epidemiology, societal values, and the ability of the vaccines to prevent both severe disease and to reduce transmission thereby eliciting herd protection. The decision on who to vaccinate should be equitable, highly contextualized, and based on the property of each vaccine. In some settings, the elderly may be prioritized, in others, it may be the population most likely to get infected and responsible for community spread. To support decision-making on who to be prioritized for vaccination requires urgent additional research on the epidemiology of COVID-19; preexisting immunity and who is responsible for transmission in a variety of settings; the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines in children and pregnant women; and determining whether COVID-19 vaccines prevent asymptomatic infection and transmission.

    Abstract DNA repair proteins participate in extensive protein-protein interactions that promote the formation of DNA repair complexes. To understand how complex formation affects protein function during base excision repair, we used SpyCatcher/SpyTag ligation to produce a covalent complex between human uracil DNA glycosylase (UNG2) and replication protein A (RPA). Our covalent "RPA-Spy-UNG2" complex could identify and excise uracil bases in duplex areas next to ssDNA-dsDNA junctions slightly faster than the wild-type proteins, but this was highly dependent on DNA structure, as the turnover of the RPA-Spy-UNG2 complex slowed at DNA junctions where RPA tightly engaged long ssDNA sections. Conversely, the enzymes preferred uracil sites in ssDNA where RPA strongly enhanced uracil excision by UNG2 regardless of ssDNA length. Finally, RPA was found to promote UNG2 excision of two uracil sites positioned across a ssDNA-dsDNA junction, and dissociation of UNG2 from RPA enhanced this process. Our approach of ligating together RPA and UNG2 to reveal how complex formation affects enzyme function could be applied to examine other assemblies of DNA repair proteins.

    Abstract Background: Medical education can help alleviate the chronic undersupply of physicians to rural communities. Providing students with early rural clinical experiences may allow the gaining of necessary knowledge and skills to practice and live rurally, as well as the desire to do so.
    Purpose: This study aims to provide a detailed understanding of Remote and Rural Community Placements (RRCPs) which occur in the second year of a Doctor of Medicine programme.
    Methodology/approach: Using a thematic analysis approach, we examined the experiences of students and preceptors in the RRCP. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and focus groups.
    Findings/conclusions: Students valued RRCPs as a formative clinical experience and preceptors gained professionally from participating. The RRCPs enhanced students regard for, and knowledge of, rural medicine. Yet, contrary to the stated aims of the placement, students spent very little time in activities outside of the clinic, neither learning about the community nor about the life of a physician as a community member.
    Implications: Medical educators should recognise that students and preceptors will inevitably place different value on the different sociocultural and perceptual aspects of placements, namely clinical and non-clinical. As such, the curriculum should draw clearly articulated links between each.

    Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess the integrity of chondral defect repairs filled with a cartilage allograft and sealed with either allogeneic fibrin sealant or autologous fibrin sealants created with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or platelet-poor plasma (PPP) in a cadaver model.
    Methods: Twenty-millimeter medial femoral condyle (MFC) chondral defects were created in five human cadaveric knees. The defects were filled with particulated cartilage allograft hydrated with PRP from human donors until slightly recessed. Sealants were applied until flush with the articular surface using PRP and autologous thrombin serum, PPP and autologous thrombin serum, or commercial allogeneic sealant. The MFC defects were cycled using a multiaxial testing system to simulate continuous passive motion undergone during rehabilitation. After testing, the repairs were assessed for integrity by quantitatively comparing defect exposure and qualitatively assessing sealant delamination.
    Results: The mean defect exposures were 4.20% ± 5.02% for the PRP group, 4.60% ± 5.18% for the PPP group, and 1.80% ± 2.95% for the allogeneic sealant group. No significant differences were observed between groups (
    Conclusions: The PRP and PPP sealants were comparable to the allogeneic sealant for graft fixation when used in conjunction with an underlying PRP-hydrated particulated cartilage allograft. The autologous sealants had better delamination resistance than the allogeneic sealant.
    Clinical relevance: The time-zero model is critical in elucidating the retention properties of fibrin and allogenic sealants after cartilage repair and before healing processes help stabilize the repair.
