    Abstract In the aqueous environment, Feᴵᴵ ions enhance the oxidative potential of ozone and hydrogen peroxide by generating the reactive oxoiron species (ferryl ion, FeᴵⱽO²⁺) and hydroxyl radical (·OH) via Fenton chemistry. Herein, we investigate factors that control the pathways of these reactive intermediates in the oxidation of dimethyl sulfoxide (Me₂SO) in Feᴵᴵ solutions reacting with O₃ in both bulk-phase water and on the surfaces of aqueous microdroplets. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry is used to quantify the formation of dimethyl sulfone (Me₂SO₂, from FeᴵⱽO²⁺ + Me₂SO) and methanesulfonate (MeSO₃–, from ·OH + Me₂SO) over a wide range of Feᴵᴵ and O₃ concentrations and pH. In addition, the role of environmentally relevant organic ligands on the reaction kinetics was also explored. The experimental results show that Fenton chemistry proceeds at a rate ∼10⁴ times faster on microdroplets than that in bulk-phase water. Since the production of MeSO₃– is initiated by ·OH radicals at diffusion-controlled rates, experimental ratios of Me₂SO₂/MeSO₃– > 10² suggest that FeᴵⱽO²⁺ is the dominant intermediate under all conditions. Me₂SO₂ yields in the presence of ligands, L, vary as volcano-plot functions of E⁰(LFeᴵⱽO²⁺+ O₂/LFe²⁺ + O₃) reduction potentials calculated by DFT with a maximum achieved in the case of L≡oxalate. Our findings underscore the key role of ferryl FeᴵⱽO²⁺ intermediates in Fenton chemistry taking place on aqueous microdroplets.

    Abstract Background: Trough-adjusted tacrolimus is commonly prescribed following intestinal transplantation to prevent allograft rejection. Despite established practice, there remains limited direct evidence linking tacrolimus levels with improved clinical outcomes.
    Methods: This was a single-center review of all adult non-liver containing intestinal allograft recipients from 2011 to 2018. Patients received lymphocyte depleting induction and maintenance immunosuppression consisting of tacrolimus and a corticosteroid taper. Tacrolimus time-in-therapeutic range (TAC-TTR) was calculated for all patients from the date of transplant until 1-year post-transplant using Rosendaal's method. Cox-Proportional hazards modeling was utilized to assess freedom from acute rejection and graft failure stratified by TAC-TTR quartile.
    Results: 47 patients were included in the review. Mean TAC-TTR for the cohort was 30.2% ± 11.4. Fifteen episodes of acute rejection were observed, 8 of which were severe. Patients in the highest TAC-TTR quartile >36% had a lower incidence of acute rejection and graft failure relative to patients with a TAC-TTR <20%. Cox-Proportional hazards modeling found a 10% decrease in TAC-TTR was associated with an increased hazard for acute rejection (2.03), severe acute rejection (2.19), and graft loss (3.33).
    Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that decreasing TAC-TTR is a risk factor for both acute rejection as well as intestinal allograft failure.

    Abstract Since the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to become endemic, quantification of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) in ambient waters is critical for environmental surveillance and for early detection of outbreaks. Herein, we report the development of a membrane-based in-gel loop-mediated isothermal amplification (mgLAMP) system that is designed for the rapid point-of-use quantification of SARS-CoV-2 particles in environmental waters. The mgLAMP system integrates the viral concentration, in-assay viral lysis, and on-membrane hydrogel-based RT-LAMP quantification using enhanced fluorescence detection with a target-specific probe. With a sample-to-result time of less than 1 h, mgLAMP successfully detected SARS-CoV-2 below 0.96 copies/mL in Milli-Q water. In surface water, the lowest detected SARS-CoV-2 concentration was 93 copies/mL for mgLAMP, while the reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) with optimal pretreatment was inhibited at 930 copies/mL. A 3D-printed portable device is designed to integrate heated incubation and fluorescence illumination for the simultaneous analysis of nine mgLAMP assays. Smartphone-based imaging and machine learning-based image processing are used for the interpretation of results. In this report, we demonstrate that mgLAMP is a promising method for large-scale environmental surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 without the need for specialized equipment, highly trained personnel, and labor-intensive procedures.
