    Abstract Background: CHARGE syndrome is a relatively common cause of deafness and blindness resulting from failure to form the primordia of specific organs due to deficient contribution of neural crest cell derivatives. The majority of CHARGE syndrome cases are caused by heterozygous mutations in CHD7 on chromosome 8q21. Those with CHARGE syndrome without CHD7 mutation typically do not have an identified genetic defect. 7q11.23 duplication syndrome is associated with mild facial dysmorphism, heart defects, language delay, and autism spectrum disorder. In the current literature, 7q11.23 duplication has not been associated with CHARGE syndrome, retinochoroidal colobomas, or significant ear abnormalities.
    Case presentation: We describe a patient with 7q11.23 duplication syndrome and clinical CHARGE syndrome with no variant in CHARGE-associated genes.
    Conclusions: This case highlights the still incomplete understanding of the pathogenesis of CHARGE syndrome and raises the possibility of a dose-sensitive effect of genes in the 7q11.23 critical region on neural crest differentiation and fate.

    Abstract Metastasis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is exceedingly rare. We present a case of a man in his 40s with a history of RCC that had metastasized to his abdominal wall and brain who then presented with abdominal pain and melena. On presentation, imaging showed new bone metastases and a colonic mass in the ascending colon. The biopsy of the mass from colonoscopy demonstrated RCC primary. Although rare, this case report highlights the importance of a thorough evaluation of patients with a history of RCC and considers GI tract involvement in those presenting with GI bleeding.

    Abstract Abstract Increased glucose uptake and aerobic glycolysis are striking features of many cancers. These features have led to many techniques for screening and diagnosis, but many are expensive, less feasible or have harmful side-effects. Here, we report a sensitive 1H/2H NMR method to measure the kinetics of lactate isotopomer and HDO production using a deuterated tracer. To test this hypothesis, HUH-7 hepatocellular carcinoma and AML12 normal hepatocytes were incubated with [2H7]glucose. 1H/2H NMR data were recorded for cell media as a function of incubation time. The efflux rate of lactate-CH3, lactate-CH2D and lactate-CHD2 was calculated as 0.0033, 0.0071, and 0.0.012 µmol/106cells/min respectively. Differential production of lactate isotopomers was due to deuterium loss during glycolysis. Glucose uptake and HDO production by HUH-7 cells showed a strong correlation, indicating that monitoring the HDO production could be a diagnostic feature in cancers. Deuterium mass balance of [2H7]glucose uptake to 2H-lactate and HDO production is quantitatively matched, suggesting increasing HDO signal could be used to diagnose Warburg (cancer) metabolism. Measuring the kinetics of lactate isotopomer and HDO production by 1H and 2H MR respectively are highly sensitive. Increased T1 of 2H-lactate isotopomers indicates inversion/saturation recovery methods may be a simple means of generating metabolism-based contrast.

    Abstract Developing new molecular ligands for the direct detection and tracking of amyloid protein aggregates is key to understanding and defeating myriad neurodegenerative and other disorders including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. A crucial factor in the performance of an amyloid dye is its ability to detect the amyloid structural motif independent of the sequence of the amyloid-forming protomer. The current study investigates structure-function relationships of a class of novel phenyleneethynylene (PPE)-based dyes and fluorescent polymers using amyloid fibrils formed by two model proteins: lysozyme and insulin. A small library of 18 PPE compounds that vary in molecular weights, charge densities, water solubilities, and types and geometries of functional groups was tested. One compound, the small anionic oligo(

    Abstract Finding new optical probes to detect and track amyloid protein aggregates is key to understanding and defeating the myriad of neurodegenerative and other diseases associated with these misfolded proteins. Herein we report that a series of fluorescent, soluble oligo(p-phenylene ethynylene)s (OPEs) are able to detect amyloids in vitro by massive binding-activated superluminescence, with low micromolar affinity and high selectivity for the amyloid conformer. The OPEs track the kinetics of amyloid fibril formation from native hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) similarly to thioflavin T (ThT), and the dependence of binding affinity on OPE length supports the theory of a linear binding groove. We hypothesize, based on spectral properties, induced circular dichroism, and previous work in analogous systems, that the fluorescence turn-on mechanism is a combination of the reduction of static solvent-mediated quenching at the ethyl ester end groups of the phenylene ethynylene fluorophore and the formation of chiral J-type aggregates templated on the amyloid fibril surface.

    Abstract In the present study, we examined the inactivation of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) by synthetic conjugated polymers and oligomers developed in our laboratories as antimicrobials for bacteria, fungi, and nonenveloped viruses. The results show highly effective light-induced inactivation with several of these oligomers and polymers including irradiation with near-UV and visible light. In the best case, one oligomer induced a 5-log reduction in pfu/mL within 10 min. In general, the oligomers are more active than the polymers; however, the polymers are active with longer wavelength visible irradiation. Although not studied quantitatively, the results show that in the presence of the agents at concentrations similar to those used in the light studies, there is essentially no dark inactivation of the virus. Because three of the five materials/compounds examined are quaternary ammonium derivatives, this study indicates that conventional quaternary ammonium antimicrobials may not be active against SARS-CoV-2. Our results suggest several applications involving the incorporation of these materials in wipes, sprays, masks, and clothing and other personal protection equipment that can be useful in preventing infections and the spreading of this deadly virus and future outbreaks from similar viruses.

    Abstract Purpose: Lymphokine-activated killer T cell-originated protein kinase (TOPK) is a fairly new cancer biomarker with great potential for clinical applications. The labeling of a TOPK inhibitor with F-18 can be exploited for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging allowing more accurate patient identification, stratification, and disease monitoring.
