    Abstract Background: It has been reported that patients with cholelithiasis may have changes in levels of cytokines and growth factors, while their causal relationships were still unclear.
    Methods: This study was a bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) study. Datasets of 41 circulation cytokines and growth factors and the data on cholelithiasis were obtained. Six steps of strict instrumental variable filtration were set, and inverse-variance weighted analysis, MR-Egger regression, and weighted median test were used to identify the causal relationships. Benjamini-Hochberg method was used to adjust the P-values.
    Results: After adjustments of P-values, four cytokines and growth factors were still causally associated with cholelithiasis significantly: interleukin 2 receptor alpha (adjusted P: 4.59E-02), interleukin 8 (adjusted P: 1.09E-02), monocyte-specific chemokine 3 (adjusted P: 2.73E-04), and stem cell factor (adjusted P: 2.73E-04). In the reverse MR analysis, no significant causal relationship was detected after adjustment.
    Conclusions: Four cytokines and growth factors, including interleukin 2 receptor alpha, interleukin 8, monocyte-specific chemokine 3, and stem cell factor, were proven to relate to cholelithiasis causally and unidirectionally.

    Abstract The oilfield produced water is a major waste stream in places where shale-gas production is growing rapidly. The reuse of produced water merits consideration because this practice helps reduce freshwater demand for fracking and moderates water pollution. Knowledge about the chemistry of produced water is needed to develop sustainable treatment/reuse strategies and set standards for acceptable levels of treatment of produced water. Thus, the author performed the first comprehensive analysis of oilfield produced water collected from the Bakken shale play in the U.S. state of North Dakota that represents the nation's third-largest net increase in proven crude oil reserves. The concentrations of a total of 36 elements in 13 IUPAC groups were determined. Among them, a few metals that are critical to the economy of the United States were detected at elevated concentrations (median, mg/L): K (7,620), Mg (2780), Sr (1610), Li (69), and Mn (33). Heavy metals essential for plants and animals, including Cu, Zn, and Mn, were detected at ppm levels. Measurable concentrations of highly toxic metal ions such as Cd and Pb were not detected. Concentrations of rare earth elements and platinum group metals were below respective detection limits. The produced water samples had very high total dissolved solids (237,680 ± 73,828 mg/L) and total hardness (>31,000 mg/L as CaCO

    Abstract Nitrile compounds containing ester and amide groups are important functionalized chemicals in synthetic and medicinal chemistry. In this article, an efficient and convenient palladium-catalyzed carbonylative procedure toward 2-cyano-N-acetamide and 2-cyanoacetate compounds has been developed. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions via radical intermediate which is suitable for late-stage functionalization. Gram-scale experiment was performed successfully under low catalyst loading and gave the target product in excellent yield. Additionally, this transformation can be performed under atmospheric pressure and provide alternative routes to 7 drug precursors.

    Abstract Cyclopropane represents one of the most critical rings and has been found present in various bioactive compounds, especially in clinical medicines. It can be synthesized by the reaction of olefins with diazo-derived carbenoids which are potentially hazardous. Carbonylation is a powerful tool for synthesizing carbonylated or carbon-extended compounds. In this communication, we describe a straightforward approach for synthesizing β-boryl cyclopropane derivatives catalyzed by an inexpensive copper catalyst with CO as the C1 source. This reaction was mediated by an

    Abstract Background: Cancer biomarkers play a pivotal role in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment response prediction of the disease. In this study, we analyzed the expression levels of RhoB and DNp73 proteins in rectal cancer, as captured in immunohistochemical images, to predict the 5-year survival time of two patient groups: one with preoperative radiotherapy and one without.
    Methods: The utilization of deep convolutional neural networks in medical research, particularly in clinical cancer studies, has been gaining substantial attention. This success primarily stems from their ability to extract intricate image features that prove invaluable in machine learning. Another innovative method for extracting features at multiple levels is the wavelet-scattering network. Our study combines the strengths of these two convolution-based approaches to robustly extract image features related to protein expression.
    Results: The efficacy of our approach was evaluated across various tissue types, including tumor, biopsy, metastasis, and adjacent normal tissue. Statistical assessments demonstrated exceptional performance across a range of metrics, including prediction accuracy, classification accuracy, precision, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve.
    Conclusion: These results underscore the potential of dual convolutional learning to assist clinical researchers in the timely validation and discovery of cancer biomarkers.

    Abstract A mitochondria-targeted ratiometric fluorescent sensor (Mito-Si-NA) for formaldehyde (FA) has been constructed by functionalizing silica-based nanodots (silica-based ND). As the fluorescence reference and carrier, the silica-based ND conjugate with small molecule probe for FA via covalent. Further modifying with mitochondria targeting moiety enables the sensor to specifically target mitochondria. In the presence of FA, the emission of silica-based ND remain constant to act as an internal reference (445 nm) while the response signal of small molecule probe was gradually enhanced (545 nm). This sensor exhibits excellent selectivity towards FA with great changes of fluorescence intensity ratio values (I

    Abstract Multicomponent reactions, particularly those entailing four or more reagents, have presented a longstanding challenge due to the inherent complexities associated with balancing reactivity, selectivity, and compatibility. In this study, we describe a palladium-catalyzed multi-component fluoroalkylative carbonylation of 1,3-enynes. A series of products featuring three active functional groups-allene, fluoroalkyl, and carboxyl, were efficiently and selectively integrated in a single chemical operation. Furthermore, more intricate fluoroalkyl-substituted pyrimidinones can be constructed by simply altering the 1,3-bisnucleophilic reagent. This approach also provides a valuable strategy for the late-stage modification of naturally occurring molecules and concise construction of diverse cyclic compounds.

    Abstract The genus Gleditsia has significant medicinal and economic value, but information about the chloroplast genomic characteristics of Gleditsia species has been limited. Using the Illumina sequencing, we assembled and annotated the whole chloroplast genomes of seven Gleditsia species (Gleditsia sinensis, Gleditsia japonica var. delavayi (G. delavayi), G. fera, G. japonica, G. microphylla, Fructus Gleditsiae Abnormalis (Zhū Yá Zào), G. microphylla mutant). The assembled genomes revealed that Gleditsia species have a typical circular tetrad structure, with genome sizes ranging from 162,746 to 170,907 bp. Comparative genomic analysis showed that most (65.8-75.8%) of the abundant simple sequence repeats in Gleditsia and Gymnocladus species were located in the large single copy region. The Gleditsia chloroplast genome prefer T/A-ending codons and avoid C/G-ending codons, positive selection was acting on the rpoA, rpl20, atpB, ndhA and ycf4 genes, most of the chloroplast genes of Gleditsia species underwent purifying selection. Expansion and contraction of the inverted repeat (IR)/single copy (SC) region showed similar patterns within the Gleditsia genus. Polymorphism analysis revealed that coding regions were more conserved than non-coding regions, and the IR region was more conserved than the SC region. Mutational hotspots were mostly found in intergenic regions such as "rps16-trnQ", "trnT-trnL", "ndhG-ndhI", and "rpl32-trnL" in Gleditsia. Phylogenetic analysis showed that G. fera is most closely related to G. sinensis,G. japonica and G. delavayi are relatively closely related. Zhū Yá Zào can be considered a bud mutation of the G. sinensis. The albino phenotype of G. microphylla mutant is not caused by variations in the chloroplast genome, and that the occurrence of the albino phenotype may be due to mutations in chloroplast-related genes involved in splicing or localization functions. This study will help us enhance our exploration of the genetic evolution and geographical origins of the Gleditsia genus.
