    Abstract Background: Oral contraceptives are commonly taken by women and are known to increase the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE).
    Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between oral contraceptive use and natural anticoagulants, that is, protein C (PC), protein S (PS), and antithrombin in pregnant women with deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
    Materials and methods: This case-control study was conducted on 330 pregnant women, that is, cases 165 (who used oral contraceptives) and controls 165 (who did not use oral contraceptives). The levels of PC, PS, and antithrombin were measured and compared between the two groups. The use of different types of oral contraceptives and their association with DVT and PC and PS were also analyzed.
    Results: The study found that women with DVT had significantly lower levels of PC and PS compared with controls ( P  < 0.001). However, no significant difference was found in the levels of AT. Among the different types of oral contraceptives, first-generation progestin pills including Ethynodiol Diacetate, Norethindrone Acetate, Norethynodrel, and second-generation oral contraceptives (Lynestrenol, Levonorgestrel and Norgestrel) were not found to be associated with lower levels of PC and AT while Desogestrel, Norgestimate, and Gestodene (third-generation) were associated with lower levels of PS.
    Conclusion: This study suggests that the use of contraceptives, particularly those containing Desogestrel, Norgestimate, and Gestodene, may be associated with a higher risk of thrombosis because of the associated lower levels of PS. Monitoring anticoagulant levels is crucial in preventing DVT in this population.

    Abstract The exceptional versatility of sulfones has been extensively exploited in organic synthesis across several decades. Since the first demonstration in 2005 that sulfones can participate in Pd-catalysed Suzuki-Miyaura type reactions, tremendous advances in catalytic desulfitative functionalizations have opened a new area of research with burgeoning activity in recent years. This emerging field is displaying sulfone derivatives as a new class of substrates enabling catalytic C-C and C-X bond construction. In this review, we will discuss new facets of sulfone reactivity toward further expanding the flexibility of C-S bonds, with an emphasis on key mechanistic features. The inherent challenges confronting the development of these strategies will be presented, along with the potential application of this chemistry for the synthesis of natural products. Taken together, this knowledge should stimulate impactful improvements on the use of sulfones in catalytic desulfitative C-C and C-X bond formation. A main goal of this article is to bring this technology to the mainstream catalysis practice and to serve as inspiration for new perspectives in catalytic transformations.

  7. Article: Engaging Ag(0) single atoms in silver(I) salts-mediated C-B and C-S coupling under visible light irradiation

    Abstract Silver(I) salts were found active in the borylation and sulfenylation of aryl iodides under visible light irradiation. The optimized borylation protocol using AgF did not need any additive, operated under very mild conditions, and well tolerated a broad scope of substrates and boron sources. Formation of Ag(0) single atoms (AgSAs) during the borylation reactions was examined using high-angle annular dark field aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope (HAADF AC-STEM) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). The activities of the silver(I) salts were affected by the anions and could be associated with their abilities in formation of AgSAs during the reactions. Kinetic studies showed that the deiodination rate was linearly correlated with the loading of AgSAs, and hence AgSAs were the true catalytic centers for the 1e⁻-reduction of the C-I moieties. The oxidation state of AgSAs kept 0 in both the resting and the working states. A “work-in-tandem” mechanism involving AgSAs as the catalytic centers and AgNPs as the light absorber to achieve the borylation of aryl iodides under visible light irradiation is proposed. The current approach not only provides an alternative system for borylation and sulfenylation of aryl iodides, but also reveals a new activity of silver(I) salts involving AgSAs under visible light irradiation.

    Abstract We investigated the impact of invasive vegetation on mercury cycles, and identified microorganisms directly related to Hg(II) methylation using hgcA gene in vegetated mud flats (VMF) inhabited by native Suaeda japonica (SJ) and invasive Spartina anglica (SA), and unvegetated mud flats (UMF) in Ganghwa intertidal sediments. Sulfate reduction rate (SRR) and rate constants of Hg(II) methylation (Kₘ) and methyl-Hg demethylation (Kd) were consistently greater in VMF than in UMF, specifically 1.5, 2 and 11.7 times higher, respectively, for SA. Both Kₘ and Kd were significantly correlated with SRR and the abundance of sulfate-reducing bacteria. These results indicate that the rhizosphere of invasive SA provides a hotspot for Hg dynamics coupled with sulfate reduction. HgcA gene analysis revealed that Hg(II)-methylators were dominated by Deltaproteobacteria, Chloroflexi and Euryarchaeota, comprising 37.9%, 35.8%, and 6.5% of total hgcA gene sequences, respectively, which implies that coastal sediments harbor diverse Hg(II)-methylating microorganisms that previously underrepresented.

    Abstract In this study, a N-, C-, and S-doped titania (NCS-TiO2) composite was prepared by combining the titanium precursor with a single dopant source, and the photocatalytic activity of this system for the decomposition of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at indoor-concentration levels, under exposure to visible light, was examined. The NCS-TiO2 composite and the pure TiO2 photocatalyst, used as a reference, were characterized via X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The average efficiencies of benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and o-xylene decomposition using NCS-TiO2 for were 70, 87, -100, and -100%, respectively, whereas the values obtained using the pure TiO2 powder were -0, 18, 49, and 51%, respectively. These results suggested that, for the photocatalytic decomposition of toxic VOCs under visible-light exposure conditions, NCS-TiO2 was superior to the reference photocatalyst. The decomposition efficiencies of the target VOCs were inversely related to the initial concentration and relative humidity as well as to the air-flow rate. The decomposition efficiencies of the target chemicals achieved with a conventional lamp/NCS-TiO2 system were higher than those achieved with a light emitting diode/NCS-TiO2 system. Overall, NCS-TiO2 can be used for the efficient decomposition of VOCs under visible-light exposure, if the operational conditions are optimized.

    Abstract Background and objectives: Heroin-dependent patients typically contract hepatitis C virus (HCV) at a disproportionately high level due to needle exchange. The liver is the primary target organ of HCV infection and also the main organ responsible for drug metabolism. Methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) is a major treatment regimen for opioid dependence. HCV infection may affect methadone metabolism but this has rarely been studied. In our current study, we aimed to test the hypothesis that HCV may influence the methadone dosage and its plasma metabolite concentrations in a MMT cohort from Taiwan.
    Methods: A total of 366 MMT patients were recruited. The levels of plasma hepatitis B virus (HBV), HCV, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibodies (Ab), liver aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), as well as methadone and its metabolite 2-ethylidene-1,5-dimethyl-3,3-diphenylpyrrolidine (EDDP) were measured along with the urine morphine concentration and amphetamine screening.
    Results: Of the 352 subjects in our cohort with HCV test records, 95% were found to be positive for plasma anti-HCV antibody. The liver functional parameters of AST (Wilcoxon Rank-Sum test, P = 0.02) and ALT (Wilcoxon Rank-Sum test, P = 0.04), the plasma methadone concentrations (Wilcoxon Rank-Sum test, P = 0.043) and the R-enantiomer of methadone concentrations (Wilcoxon Rank-Sum test, P = 0.032) were significantly higher in the HCV antibody-positive subjects than in the HCV antibody-negative patients, but not the S-EDDP/methadone dose ratio. The HCV levels correlated with the methadone dose (β= 14.65 and 14.13; P = 0.029 and 0.03) and the S-EDDP/methadone dose ratio (β= -0.41 and -0.40; P = 0.00084 and 0.002) in both univariate and multivariate regression analyses.
    Conclusions: We conclude that HCV may influence the methadone dose and plasma S-EDDP/methadone dose ratio in MMT patients in this preliminary study.
