Abstract
The development of novel agents with immunoregulatory effects is a keen way to combat the growing threat of inflammatory storms to global health. To synthesize pseudo-steroidal glycosides tethered by ether bonds with promising immunomodulatory potential, we develop herein a highly effective deoxygenative functionalization of a novel steroidal donor (steroidation) facilitated by strain-release, leveraging cost-effective and readily available Sc(OTf)3 catalysis. This transformation produces a transient steroid-3-yl carbocation which readily reacts with O-, C-, N-, S-, and P-nucleophiles to generate structurally diverse steroid derivatives. DFT calculations were performed to shed light on the mechanistic details of the regioselectivity, underlying an acceptor-dependent steroidation mode. This approach can be readily extended to the etherification of sugar alcohols to enable the achievement of a diversity-oriented, pipeline-like synthesis of pseudo-steroidal glycosides in good to excellent yields with complete stereo- and regiospecific control for anti-inflammatory agent discovery. Immunological studies have demonstrated that a meticulously designed cholesteryl disaccharide can significantly suppress interleukin-6 secretion in macrophages, exhibiting up to 99% inhibition rates compared to the negative control. These findings affirm the potential of pseudo-steroidal glycosides as a prospective category of lead agents for the development of novel anti-inflammatory drugs.

Abstract
Peptidoglycan (PG), an essential exoskeletal polymer in bacteria, is a well-known antibiotic target. PG polymerization requires the action of bacterial transglycosylases (TGases), which couple the incoming glycosyl acceptor to the donor. Interfering with the TGase activity can interrupt the PG assembly. Existing TGase inhibitors like moenomycin and Lipid II analogues always occupy the TGase active sites; other strategies to interfere with proper PG elongation have not been widely exploited. Inspired by the natural 1,6-anhydro-MurNAc termini that mark the ends of PG strands in bacteria, we hypothesized that the incorporation of an anhydromuramyl-containing glycosyl acceptor by TGase into the growing PG may effectively inhibit PG elongation. To explore this possibility, we synthesized 4-O-(N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminyl)-1,6-anhydro-N-acetyl-β-d-muramyl-l-Ala-γ-d-Glu-l-Lys-d-Ala-d-Ala, 1, within 15 steps, and demonstrated that this anhydromuropeptide and its analogue lacking the peptide, 1-deAA, were both utilized by bacterial TGase as noncanonical anhydro glycosyl acceptors in vitro. The incorporation of an anhydromuramyl moiety into PG strands by TGases afforded efficient termination of glycan chain extension. Moreover, the preliminary in vitro studies of 1-deAA against Staphylococcus aureus showed that 1-deAA served as a reasonable antimicrobial adjunct of vancomycin. These insights imply the potential application of such anhydromuropeptides as novel classes of PG-terminating inhibitors, pointing toward novel strategies in antibacterial agent development.

Abstract
A 31-year-old female patient with refractive error in both eyes underwent small incision lenticule extraction. On the 4th day after surgery, arc-shaped peripheral corneal infiltrates appeared in the right eye. Tobramycin and dexamethasone eye drops, 0.3% gatifloxacin eye drops, and a corneal bandage lens were applied to the eye. After bacterial infection was ruled out, dexamethasone sodium phosphate was injected subconjunctivally near the corneal lesion. The symptoms improved and the corneal lesion subsided afterwards.

Abstract
We herein present a strain-release glycosylation method employing a rationally designed ortho-2,2-dimethoxycarbonylcyclopropylbenzyl (CCPB) thioglycoside donor. The donor is activated through the nucleophilic ring-opening of a remotely activable donor-acceptor cyclopropane (DAC) catalyzed by mild Sc(OTf)3. Our new glycosylation method efficiently synthesizes O-, N-, and S-glycosides, providing facile chemical access to the challenging S-glycosides. Because the activation conditions of conventional glycosyl donors and our CCPB thioglycoside are orthogonal, our novel donor is amenable to controlled one-pot glycosylation reactions with conventional donors for expeditious access to complex glycans. The strain-release glycosylation is applied to the assembly of a tetrasaccharide of O-polysaccharide of Escherichia coli O-33 in one pot and the synthesis of a 1,1'-S-linked glycoside oral galectin-3 (Gal-3) inhibitor, TD139, to demonstrate the versatility and effectiveness of the novel method for constructing both O- and S-glycosides.

Abstract
Peptidoglycan is an essential exoskeletal polymer across all bacteria. Gut microbiota-derived peptidoglycan fragments (PGNs) are increasingly recognized as key effector molecules that impact host biology. However, the current peptidoglycan analysis workflow relies on laborious manual identification from tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) data, impeding the discovery of novel bioactive PGNs in the gut microbiota. In this work, we built a computational tool PGN_MS2 that reliably simulates MS/MS spectra of PGNs and integrated it into the user-defined MS library of in silico PGN search space, facilitating automated PGN identification. Empowered by PGN_MS2, we comprehensively profiled gut bacterial peptidoglycan composition. Strikingly, the probiotic Bifidobacterium spp. manifests an abundant amount of the 1,6-anhydro-MurNAc moiety that is distinct from Gram-positive bacteria. In addition to biochemical characterization of three putative lytic transglycosylases (LTs) that are responsible for anhydro-PGN production in Bifidobacterium, we established that these 1,6-anhydro-PGNs exhibit potent anti-inflammatory activity in vitro, offering novel insights into Bifidobacterium-derived PGNs as molecular signals in gut microbiota-host crosstalk.

Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated that bis-(3',5')-cyclic diguanosine monophosphate (bis-3',5'-c-di-GMP) is a ubiquitous second messenger employed by bacteria. Here, we report that 2',3'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (2',3'-cGMP) controls the important biological functions, quorum sensing (QS) signaling systems and virulence in Ralstonia solanacearum through the transcriptional regulator RSp0980. This signal specifically binds to RSp0980 with high affinity and thus abolishes the interaction between RSp0980 and the promoters of target genes. In-frame deletion of RSp0334, which contains an evolved GGDEF domain with a LLARLGGDQF motif required to catalyze 2',3'-cGMP to (2',5')(3',5')-cyclic diguanosine monophosphate (2',3'-c-di-GMP), altered the abovementioned important phenotypes through increasing the intracellular 2',3'-cGMP levels. Furthermore, we found that 2',3'-cGMP, its receptor and the evolved GGDEF domain with a LLARLGGDEF motif also exist in the human pathogen Salmonella typhimurium. Together, our work provides insights into the unusual function of the GGDEF domain of RSp0334 and the special regulatory mechanism of 2',3'-cGMP signal in bacteria.

Abstract
In this study, we present a cobalt-catalyzed C3-glycosylation of indoles using unfunctionalized glycals, yielding 3-indolyl-C-deoxyglycosides. These compounds hold promise as sodium-dependent glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors for treating type 2 diabetes. Control experiments unveiled that cobalt assumes a dual role, facilitating catalytic C-glycosylation while unexpectedly driving the anomerization of α-anomers through endocyclic cleavage of the C1-O5 bond, resulting in the formation of β-C-deoxyglycosides. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) calculations shed light on the reaction mechanism, emphasizing the significant role of the pyridine group of indole in stabilizing transition states and intermediates.

Abstract
Objective: The study investigated the clinical distribution, antimicrobial resistance and epidemiologic characteristics of hypervirulent Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (hv-CRKP) in a hospital in Henan Province to provide a scientific basis for antibiotic use and nosocomial infection prevention and control. Methods: A retrospective analysis of the clinical data from the cases was carried out in this study. Clinical data of patients infected with the CRKP strain isolated from the clinical microbiology laboratory of Henan Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2020 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. A string test, virulence gene screening, serum killing, and a G. mellonella infection model were used to screen hv-CRKP isolates. The clinical characteristics of hv-CRKP and the drug resistance rate of hv-CRKP to twenty-five antibiotics were analyzed using WHONET 5.6. Carbapenemase phenotypic characterization of the hv-CRKP was performed by colloidal gold immunochromatographic assay, and Carbapenemase genotyping, multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) and capsular serotyping of hv-CRKP isolates were performed by PCR and Sanger sequencing. Results: A total of non-duplicate 264 CRKP clinical isolates were detected in the hospital from 2020 to 2022, and 23 hv-CRKP isolates were detected, so the corresponding detection rate of hv-CRKP was 8.71% (23/264). The hv-CRKP isolates in this study were mainly from the intensive care unit (10/23) and neurosurgery department (8/23), and the main sources of hv-CRKP isolates were sputum (10/23) and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (6/23). The hv-CRKP isolates in this study were highly resistant to β-lactam antibiotics, fluoroquinolones and aminoglycosides, and were only susceptible to colistin, tigecycline and ceftazidime/avibactam. The detection rate of the blaKPC-2 among 23 hv-CRKP isolates was 91.30% (21/23) and none of the class B and class D carbapenemases were detected. Results of MLST and capsular serotypes showed that ST11 type hv-CRKP was the dominant strain in the hospital, accounting for 56.52% (13/23), and K64 (9/13) and KL47 (4/13) were the major capsular serotypes. Conclusion: The hv-CRKP isolates from the hospital are mainly from lower respiratory tract specimens from patients admitted to the intensive care department and the drug resistance is relatively severe. The predominant strains with certain polymorphisms are mainly composed of the KPC-2-producing ST11-K64 and ST11-KL47 hv-CRKP isolates in the hospital.

Abstract
Catalytic glycosylation is a vital transformation in synthetic carbohydrate chemistry due to its ability to expediate the large-scale oligosaccharide synthesis for glycobiology studies with the consumption of minimal amounts of promoters. Herein we introduce a facile and efficient catalytic glycosylation employing glycosyl ortho-2,2-dimethoxycarbonylcyclopropylbenzoates (CCBz) promoted by a readily accessible and non-toxic Sc(III) catalyst system. The glycosylation reaction involves a novel activation mode of glycosyl esters driven by the ring-strain release of an intramolecularly incorporated donor-acceptor cyclopropane (DAC). The versatile glycosyl CCBz donor enables highly efficient construction of O-, S-, and N-glycosidic bonds under mild conditions, as exemplified by the convenient preparation of the synthetically challenging chitooligosaccharide derivatives. Of note, a gram-scale synthesis of tetrasaccharide corresponding to Lipid IV with modifiable handles is achieved using the catalytic strain-release glycosylation. These attractive features promise this donor to be the prototype for developing next generation of catalytic glycosylation.

Abstract
Trematodes of the genus Ogmocotyle are intestinal flukes that can infect a variety of definitive hosts, resulting in significant economic losses worldwide. However, there are few studies on molecular data of these trematodes. In this study, the mitochondrial (mt) genome of Ogmocotyle ailuri isolated from red panda (Ailurus fulgens) was determined and compared with those from Pronocephalata to investigate the mt genome content, genetic distance, gene rearrangements and phylogeny. The complete mt genome of O. ailuri is a typical closed circular molecule of 14 642 base pairs, comprising 12 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 2 non-coding regions. All genes are transcribed in the same direction. In addition, 23 intergenic spacers and 2 locations with gene overlaps were determined. Sequence identities and sliding window analysis indicated that cox1 is the most conserved gene among 12 PCGs in O. ailuri mt genome. The sequenced mt genomes of the 48 Plagiorchiida trematodes showed 5 types of gene arrangement based on all mt genome genes, with the gene arrangement of O. ailuri being type I. Phylogenetic analysis using concatenated amino acid sequences of 12 PCGs revealed that O. ailuri was closer to Ogmocotyle sikae than to Notocotylus intestinalis. These data enhance the Ogmocotyle mt genome database and provide molecular resources for further studies of Pronocephalata taxonomy, population genetics and systematics.

Abstract
AIMS Head-to-head comparisons among SGLT2 inhibitors treatments in established heart failure remain absent. We conducted a systematic review of dedicated heart failure trials to assess indirectly the composite outcomes and individual clinical endpoints among SGLT2 inhibitor treatments. METHODS AND RESULTS We systematically reviewed randomized controlled trials comparing SGLT2 inhibitors versus placebo in patients with established heart failure. A Bayesian approach to network meta-analysis was applied. Five trials including four treatment strategies were included in this study. The composite of cardiovascular death or hospitalization for heart failure showed no significant difference in the comparison between dapagliflozin and empagliflozin (OR 1.00, 95% CI 0.66-1.55), dapagliflozin and sotagliflozin (OR 1.54, 95% CI 0.91-2.65), and empagliflozin and sotagliflozin (OR 1.53, 95% CI 0.90-2.69). All-cause mortality showed no significant difference in the comparison between dapagliflozin and empagliflozin (OR 0.92, 95% CI 0.711-1.18), dapagliflozin and sotagliflozin (OR 1.05, 95% CI 0.68-1.59), and empagliflozin and sotagliflozin (OR 1.14, 95% CI 0.74-1.73). Cardiovascular death showed no significant difference in the comparison between dapagliflozin and empagliflozin (OR 0.94, 95% CI 0.71-1.23), dapagliflozin and sotagliflozin (OR 0.96, 95% CI 0.61-1.55), and empagliflozin and sotagliflozin (OR 1.03, 95% CI 0.64-1.66). Hospitalization for heart failure showed no significant difference in the comparison between dapagliflozin and empagliflozin (OR 1.13, 95% CI 0.64-1.97), dapagliflozin and sotagliflozin (OR 1.56, 95% CI 0.74-3.15), and empagliflozin and sotagliflozin (OR 1.39, 95% CI 0.68-2.78). CONCLUSIONS In patients with established heart failure, there was no significant difference of the major efficacy outcomes among SGLT2 inhibitor treatments; however, sotagliflozin may be associated with the lowest risk of the composite of cardiovascular death or hospitalization for heart failure, and dapagliflozin may be associated with the lowest risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.

Abstract
In recent years, with the problem of aging population in China being prominant, the number of patients with chronic wounds such as diabetic foot, pressure ulcer, and vascular ulcer is increasing. Those diseases seriously affect the life quality of patients and increase the economy and care burden of the patients' family, which have been one of the most urgent clinical problems. Many researches have confirmed that adipose stem cells can effectively promote wound healing, while exogenous protease is needed, and there are ethical and many other problems, which limit the clinical application of adipose stem cells. Adipose stem cell matrix gel is a gel-like mixture of biologically active extracellular matrix and stromal vascular fragment obtained from adipose tissue by the principle of fluid whirlpool and flocculation precipitation. It contains rich adipose stem cells, hematopoietic stem cells, endothelial progenitor cells, and macrophages, etc. The preparation method of adipose stem cell matrix gel is simple and the preparation time is short, which is convenient for clinical application. Many studies at home and abroad showed that adipose stem cell matrix gel can effectively promote wound healing by regulating inflammatory reaction, promoting microvascular reconstruction and collagen synthesis. Therefore, this paper summarized the preparation of adipose stem cell matrix gel, the mechanism and problems of the matrix gel in promoting wound repair, in order to provide new methods and ideas for the treatment of chronic refractory wounds in clinic.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the relationship between peripheral blood micronutrient levels and 4 kinds of oral mucosal diseases (minor recurrent aphthous ulcer, angular cheilitis, cheilitis and geographic tongue) in children aged 0~14 years. METHODS One hundred and fifty-two children with oral mucosal lesions (COML) and 65 healthy children (health control group, HC) were included. The clinical data of each group were recorded separately to compare whether there existed differences in the levels of serum water-soluble vitamins (vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12, C), serum fat-soluble vitamins [vitamins A, E, K, 25(OH)D2, 25(OH)D3], zinc and serum calcium. Whether peripheral blood micronutrients were risk factors associated with the onset of COML was analyzed through disorder multiclass logistic regression with SPSS 23.0 software package. RESULTS Peripheral blood micronutrients differed in children with minor recurrent aphthous ulcers, cheilitis, and geographic tongue (P<0.05). Compared with HC group, children in minor recurrent aphthous ulcer group had significantly lower levels of vitamin B1, B6, B7, C, A, and 25(OH)D3 (P<0.05), and relatively higher rates of vitamin B6 (50.00% vs 13.85%), vitamin B7 (36.76% vs 9.23%), 25(OH)D3 (64.71% vs 36.92%) deficiency and vitamin K excess (8.82% vs 0.00%)(P<0.005). Multiclass logistic regression analysis showed that vitamin B1, vitamin C, vitamin A deficiency, vitamin B5, and vitamin K excess were risk factors for incidence in children with minor recurrent aphthous ulcer, and each element was independent for each other. Compared with HC group, the levels of vitamin B7 and 25(OH)D3 in children with cheilitis were significantly lower(P<0.05), and the rate of vitamin B7 deficiency was significantly higher (P<0.005). Multiclass logistic regression analysis showed that vitamin B7 and vitamin A deficiency were risk factors for cheilitis in children, and the two were independent for each other. Compared with the HC group, vitamin K excess rate was significantly higher in children with geographic tongue (7.14% vs 0.00%) (P<0.005). Multiclass logistic regression analysis showed that vitamin C deficiency and vitamin K excess were risk factors for the incidence of geographic tongue, and the two were independent for each other. Compared with other groups, peripheral blood micronutrients had no correlation with the pathogenesis of angular cheilitis (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS The occurrence of COML is closely related to peripheral blood micronutrient levels, which suggests that children with COML need to monitor vitamin and mineral levels and supplement treatment when necessary.

Abstract
Endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) allows completely resecting deep submucosal tumors (SMTs) in the gastrointestinal wall, which has a broad application prospect in clinic. However, its application and promotion are limited by complex surgical procedures and high surgical risk. Various auxiliary traction techniques are expected to reduce the operation difficulty and risk of EFTR and improve its operative success rate. To provide a reference for clinicians, we summarize various auxiliary traction techniques in EFTR in this article. The clip-with-line method is simple to operate and widely used, whereas its traction is limited and there is a risk of clip falling off. The snare traction method and the clip-snare traction method has advantage of large traction force, but its thrust is affected by the hardness of snare. The traction point of the grasping forceps traction method is flexible and easy to adjust. Nevertheless, it requires the use of a dual-channel upper endoscope, which is difficult to operate. The transparent cap traction method and the full-thickness resection device traction method takes a short time and is easy to promote, whereas the resectable lesion is limited, and the size of the lesion may affect the success rate. In contrast, the suture loop needle-T-tag tissue anchors assisted method has a large resection range, but the operation is complicated and the feasibility has not been verified. The robot-assisted method has flexible operation and excellent visualization, whereas it is expensive and difficult to operate. There is no report of the application of magnetic anchor technology in EFTR, but it may have good application prospects in the auxiliary traction of EFTR.

Abstract
A direct, efficient, and versatile glycosylation methodology promises the systematic synthesis of oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates in a streamlined fashion like the synthesis of medium to long-chain nucleotides and peptides. The development of a generally applicable approach for the construction of 1,2-cis-glycosidic bond with controlled stereoselectivity remains a major challenge, especially for the synthesis of β-mannosides. Here, we report a direct mannosylation strategy mediated by ZnI2, a mild Lewis acid, for the highly stereoselective construction of 1,2-cis-β linkages employing easily accessible 4,6-O-tethered mannosyl trichloroacetimidate donors. The versatility and effectiveness of this strategy were demonstrated with successful β-mannosylation of a wide variety of alcohol acceptors, including complex natural products, amino acids, and glycosides. Through iteratively performing ZnI2-mediated mannosylation with the chitobiosyl azide acceptor followed by site-selective deprotection of the mannosylation product, the novel methodology enables the modular synthesis of the key intermediate trisaccharide with Man-β-(1 → 4)-GlcNAc-β-(1 → 4)-GlcNAc linkage for N-glycan synthesis. Theoretical investigations with density functional theory calculations delved into the mechanistic details of this β-selective mannosylation and elucidated two zinc cations' essential roles as the activating agent of the donor and the principal mediator of the cis-directing intermolecular interaction.

Abstract
Here we report a strategy for carbonyl addition with unactivated alkenes using an organic photocatalyst on both aldehyde and ketone substrates. This protocol grants us a good alternative to the traditional Barbier-Grignard allylation that exhibits poor functional group tolerance. With this method the stoichiometric use of metals can be avoided, high atom economy can be achieved and fewer by-products are generated.

Abstract
Here we report a glucosylation strategy mediated by ZnI2, a cheap and mild Lewis acid, for the highly stereoselective construction of 1,2-cis-O-glycosidic linkages using easily accessible and common 4,6-O-tethered glucosyl donors. The versatility and effectiveness of the α-glucosylation strategy were demonstrated successfully with various acceptors, including complex alcohols. This approach demonstrates the feasibility of the modular synthesis of various α-glucans with both linear and branched backbone structures.

Abstract
Objective: To discuss the prediction efficacy of Down's screening serological indicators in the second trimester of gestational hypertension (GH). Methods: 64 849 pregnant women who had undergone regular check-ups at the Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital from June 2013 to June 2019 and finally gave birth were the subjects of the study. There were 3 808 cases of the GH group (including patients with GH, preeclampsia, and eclampsia diagnosed) and 61 041 cases of non-GH group respectively. 3 ml of fasting venous blood was drawn during 14-19 weeks of pregnancy, and body weight, serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG), free estriol (uE3) and alpha fetal protein (AFP) were obtained through physical check and laboratory testing. β-HCG, AFP, uE3 were analyzed by using the corresponding median times of gestational age (MOM value), and multivariate logistic regression model and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) were used to analyze the predictive efficiency of serological indicators. Results: Among 64 849 research subjects, the GH group (3 808 cases) and the non-GH group (61 041) were (29.51±2.72), (29.38±2.68) years old, the weights were (65.46±12.17), (58.73±9.13) kg, gestational age of blood collection were (16.53±0.89) and (16.58±0.90) weeks respectively. The analysis of multivariate logistic regression model showed that the risk of GH increased with the increase of body weight, β-HCG and AFP concentration, OR (95%CI) values were 1.059 (1.056-1.062), 1.329 (1.188-1.487) and 1.195 (1.125-1.269); so did when the concentration of uE3 decrease, OR (95%CI) value was 0.527 (0.464-0.599). ROC curve analysis results show that age, weight, serum AFP, β-HCG, uE3 and multivariate diagnosis all have predictive efficiency for GH (P values<0.05); combined diagnosis of multiple indicators and weight AUC (95%CI) were 0.684 (0.675-0.693) and 0.673 (0.663-0.682), but the Youden index, sensitivity, and specificity of the two were relatively small. Conclusion: The β-HCG, AFP and uE3 of Down's screening in the second trimester of pregnancy were relatively low in predicting GH.

Abstract
The widespread coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been declared a global health emergency. As one of the most important targets for antibody and drug developments, the Spike RBD-ACE2 interface has received extensive attention. Here, using molecular dynamics simulations, we explicitly analyzed the energetic features of the RBD-ACE2 complex of both SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2. Despite the high structural similarity, the binding strength of SARS-CoV-2 to the ACE2 receptor is estimated to be -16.35 kcal mol-1 stronger than that of SARS-CoV. Energy decomposition analyses identified three binding patches in SARS-CoV-2 RBD and eleven key residues (F486, Y505, N501, Y489, Q493, L455, etc.), which are believed to be the main targets for drug development. The dominating forces arise from van der Waals attractions and dehydration of these residues. Compared with SARS-CoV, we found seven mutational sites (K417, L455, A475, G476, E484, Q498 and V503) on SARS-CoV-2 that unexpectedly weakened the RBD-ACE2 binding. Interestingly, the E484 site is recognized to be the most repulsive residue at the RBD-ACE2 interface, indicating that from the energy point of view, a mutation of E484 would be beneficial to RBD-ACE2 binding. This is in line with recent findings that it is mutated by lysine (E484K mutation) in the rapidly spreading variants of COVID-19 belonging to the B.1.351 and P.1 lineages. In addition, this mutation is reported to cause virus neutralization escapes from highly neutralizing COVID-19 convalescent plasma. Thus, further efforts are required to probe its functional relevance. Overall, our results present a systematic understanding of the energetic binding features of SARS-CoV-2 RBD with the ACE2 receptor, which can provide a valuable insight for the design of SARS-CoV-2 drugs and identification of cross-active antibodies.

Abstract
Herein, we devised a method for stereoselective O-glycosylation using an Ir(i)-catalyst which enables both hydroalkoxylation and nucleophilic substitution of glycals with varying substituents at the C3 position. In this transformation, 2-deoxy-α-O-glycosides were acquired when glycals equipped with a notoriously poor leaving group at C3 were used; in contrast 2,3-unsaturated-α-O-glycosides were produced from glycals that bear a good leaving group at C3. Mechanistic studies indicate that both reactions proceed via the directing mechanism, through which the acceptor coordinates to the Ir(i) metal in the α-face-coordinated Ir(i)-glycal π-complex and then attacks the glycal that contains the O-glycosidic bond in a syn-addition manner. This protocol exhibits good functional group tolerance and is exemplified with the preparation of a library of oligosaccharides in moderate to high yields and with excellent stereoselectivities. Ir(i)-catalyzed α-selective O-glycosylation of glycals provided an access to both 2-deoxyglycosides and 2,3-unsaturated glycosides with a broad substrate scope. The underlying rationale of α-selectivity has been illustrated by the DFT study.![]()

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the common multidrug-resistant bacteria in the clinic. Because it can produce a "protective" biofilm, it can affect the penetration and killing efficacy of antibacterial drugs, leading to the formation of a persistent and persistent chronic infection in the host. Biofilms make Pseudomonas aeruginosa resistant to antibacterials and evasive to the host's immune system. Therefore, traditional conventional antibacterials are difficult to achieve effective bactericidal treatment. Understanding the process of P. aeruginosa biofilm formation and the regulatory mechanisms that affect biofilms can provide ideas and methods for our future research on new antibacterial drugs.

Abstract
Depressive symptoms are throughout our life, especially in the older population, the sex hormones reduction link to a high risk of depression. In this study, we investigated whether bilateral orchiectomy (ORX) modifies mice behaviors and antidepressant drugs effects through tail suspension test (TST). We evaluated behavioral changes at 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, and up to 2 months after ORX. The behavior responses to doxepin, fluoxetine, and venlafaxine at 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, and 2 months after ORX were evaluated. No apparent difference was detected among the durations of immobility of the control group, sham operation group, and ORX group in the TST at 1 week and 2 weeks after ORX. But the immobility time of ORX group was obvious longer than that of both control group and sham operation group at 1 month and 2 months after ORX. Only the antidepressant effect of venlafaxine was observed at 1 week and 2 weeks after ORX, while the antidepressant response to fluoxetine decreased 1 month and 2 months after ORX. The response to antidepressant drugs was strongly modified in ORX mice. Our results suggest that not all antidepressant drugs are suitable for depression with androgen deficiency.HighlightsMice with low androgen were more prone to depression-like behaviors.The response to antidepressants changed under the condition of low androgen in mice.Not all antidepressant drugs are appropriate for patients with low androgen.

Abstract
Objective: To identify the epidemic clones of MRSA isolates at a hospital in shanghai. Methods: A total of 72 MRSA isolates have been isolated from a second grade hospital between 2017 and 2018, including 32 CA-MRSA isolates, 13 HA-MRSA isolates and 26 MRSA isolates from environment. In this study, MLST and PFGE typing methods were used to analyze the molecular epidemiology of the MRSA isolates. Results: A total of 72 MRSA isolates have been obtained including 46 isolates from clinical specimens, 26 isolates from environments. The 46 MRSA isolates from clinical specimens consisted of 33 CA-MRSA (community-acquired MRSA) and 13 HA-MRSA (hospital-acquired MRSA). Furthermore, these patients infected with MRSA isolates were mostly distributed in the department of geriatrics (34.8%, 16/46), internal medicine (26.1%, 12/46) and surgery (26.1%, 12/46). MLST typing results showed that ST764 was predominant in isolates from both clinical specimens and hospital environments. Furthermore, PFGE typing results showed that most ST764 MRSA had high homolog (>90%). Conclusion: ST764 MRSA isolates might spread in community, hospital and environments. Therefore, continuous monitoring of MRSA and its variation may be useful in understanding the involvement of epidemic clone, and in searching new strategies to control MRSA infection.

Abstract
The orphan nuclear receptor Nurr1 is critical for the development, maintenance and protection of midbrain dopaminergic (mDA) neurons. Here we show that prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) and its dehydrated metabolite, PGA1, directly interact with the ligand-binding domain (LBD) of Nurr1 and stimulate its transcriptional function. We also report the crystallographic structure of Nurr1-LBD bound to PGA1 at 2.05 Å resolution. PGA1 couples covalently to Nurr1-LBD by forming a Michael adduct with Cys566, and induces notable conformational changes, including a 21° shift of the activation function-2 helix (H12) away from the protein core. Furthermore, PGE1/PGA1 exhibit neuroprotective effects in a Nurr1-dependent manner, prominently enhance expression of Nurr1 target genes in mDA neurons and improve motor deficits in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-lesioned mouse models of Parkinson's disease. Based on these results, we propose that PGE1/PGA1 represent native ligands of Nurr1 and can exert neuroprotective effects on mDA neurons, via activation of Nurr1's transcriptional function.

Abstract
An efficient palladium(ii) mediated C-glycosylation of glycals with diaryliodonium salts is described, providing a new strategy for the synthesis of 2,3-dideoxy C-aryl glycosides with excellent stereoselectivity. The C-glycosylation of a diverse range of glycals, including d-glucal, d-galactal, d-allal, l-rhamnal, l-fucal, l-arabinal, d-maltal, and d-lactal, occurred effectively and the corresponding C-glycosides were obtained in moderate to good yields. This protocol is commended as a significant addition to the field of carbohydrate chemistry due to the rich functional group compatibility, broad range of substrate scope and exceptional α-stereoselectivity.

Abstract
Peptidoglycan is the core component of the bacterial cell wall, which makes it an attractive target for the development of bacterial targeting agents. Intercepting its enzymatic assembly with synthetic substrates allows for labeling and engineering of live bacterial cells. Over the past two decades, small-molecule-based labeling agents, such as antibiotics, d-amino acids or monosaccharides have been developed for probing biological processes in bacteria. Herein, peptidoglycan oligomers, substrates for transglycosylation, are prepared for the first time using a top-down approach, which starts from chitosan as a cheap feedstock. A high efficiency of labeling has been observed in all bacterial strains tested using micromolar substrates. In contrast, uptake into mammalian cells was barely observable. Additional mechanistic studies support a hypothesis of bacteria-specific metabolic labeling rather than non-specific binding to the bacterial surface. Eventually, its practicality in bacterial targeting capability is demonstrated in resistant strain detection and in vivo infection models.

Abstract
Objective: To study the role of virtual gastroscopy simulator in the examination of clinical practice skills of gastrointestinal specialists. Methods: A multi-center empirical study was carried out. In June 2018, ninety participants from three tertiary care teaching hospitals in China, including Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University, Shanghai Tongji Hospital and Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, took part in the examination. Participants were selected as follows: 30 specialists without any experience of gastroscopy exams, 30 with basic knowledge (gastroscopy exams <500 cases) and 30 with good skill (gastroscopy exams ≥500 cases). These 90 students participated in this empirical study after theoretical study and simulator training. Among them, 50 (55.6%) were undergraduates, 25 (27.8%) masters, and 15 (16.7%) doctors; 42 (46.7%) were residents, 39 (43.3%) attending physicians, and 9 (10.0%) deputy chief physicians. The assessment was divided into two parts. The first part was to use the simulator (GI mentor II) for ballooning within 10 minutes, with a total score of 40 points. The second part was a complete gastroscopy exam on the simulator, including preparation before gastroscopy exam, gastroscopy exam, post - exam management and related knowledge quiz. The difficulty and discrimination of the assessment plan were evaluated by the extreme grouping method parameters (difficulty P definition: <0.3 was difficult, 0.3 to 0.7 was medium, ≥0.7 was easy; discrimination degree D definition: <0 was poor, 0 to 0.2 was medium, ≥0.2 was good), and by comparing the virtual gastroscopy assessment scores of different experience, academic, and professional title groups. The score analysis of the student group was expressed using the mastering rate (the average score divided by the total score). The data of the normal distribution was represented by (mean±SD) (range), and the data of the nonnormal distribution was represented by M (P25, P75). Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric test was used for comparison between groups. Results: The total score of 90 students was (82.9±10.9) (55.8 to 99.0), and the mastering rate was 82.9%. The overall difficulty of the first and the second parts were 0.78 and 0.76, respectively, and the difficulty level was easy. The overall discrimination of the first and the second parts were 0.70 and 0.67, respectively, and the discrimination was good. The stratified analysis was performed according to the professional title. The median score was 83.2 (75.5, 89.0) in the residents, 82.5 (71.7, 93.6) in the attending physicians, and 93.5 (88.5, 99.0) in the deputy chief physicians, and the difference was statistically significant (H=6.213, P=0.045). According to the stratification analysis of academic qualifications, the median score was 81.7 (73.0, 87.5) in participants with undergraduate degree, 91.0 (79.0, 95.0) in those with master degree and 88.0 (81.7, 93.5) in those with doctor degree, whose difference was statistically significant (H=9.233, P=0.010). The stratified analysis of the second part showed that the median scores of the "operational process" part of the low, medium and high basis group were 33.0 (30.5, 36.5), 34.0 (32.0, 36.0) and 37.0 (35.0, 37.5), respectively, whose difference was statistically significant (H=7.603, P=0.022). The median scores of the "operational process" section of the resident, attending physician, and deputy chief physician were 33.0 (30.5, 35.0) points, 36.0 (34.0, 37.5) points and 37.0 (37.0, 37.5) points, respectively, whose difference was statistically significant (H=18.563, P=0.001). Conclusions: The virtual gastroscopy simulator can reflect the true level of gastroscopy exam skills of the students. The examination questions are moderately difficult, and there is a good discrimination of the exam.

Abstract
The treatment of bacterial infections is hindered by the presence of biofilms and metabolically inactive persisters. Here, we report the synthesis of an enantiomeric block co-beta-peptide, poly(amido-D-glucose)-block-poly(beta-L-lysine), with high yield and purity by one-shot one-pot anionic-ring opening (co)polymerization. The co-beta-peptide is bactericidal against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), including replicating, biofilm and persister bacterial cells, and also disperses biofilm biomass. It is active towards community-acquired and hospital-associated MRSA strains which are resistant to multiple drugs including vancomycin and daptomycin. Its antibacterial activity is superior to that of vancomycin in MRSA mouse and human ex vivo skin infection models, with no acute in vivo toxicity in repeated dosing in mice at above therapeutic levels. The copolymer displays bacteria-activated surfactant-like properties, resulting from contact with the bacterial envelope. Our results indicate that this class of non-toxic molecule, effective against different bacterial sub-populations, has promising potential for the treatment of S. aureus infections. The authors report the synthesis of an enantiomeric block co-beta-peptide that kills methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, including biofilm and persister bacterial cells, and disperses biofilms. The copolymer displays antibacterial activity in human ex vivo and mouse in vivo infection models without toxicity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To select and identify the bacterium which highly produces protease and β-D-glucosidase from 72 strains of Shuidouchi from Sichuan, and to provide evidence for further research on its nutritional value and fermentation strain exploiting. METHODS Casein degradation test and pNPG chemical test were applied respectively to detect the capacity to produce protease and β-D-glucosidase of each strain. Characteristics of morphology, biochemistry, 16S rRNA and MALDI-TOF-MS were used to identify the fermentation strain, which genetic stability, curves of growth and enzyme producing were also obtained. RESULTS The strain with the highest enzyme activity of β-D-glucosidase (0.084 U/L) among the top 10 strains for producing protease was selected as the fermentation strain and was identified as Bacillus subtilis, which curves of growth and enzyme producing conformed as well. The result of genetic stability showed that capacity of enzyme producing was stable until the 10th generation. CONCLUSIONS The fermentation strain which highly produced protease and β-D-glucosidase was selected from 72 strains of shuidouchi from Sichuan and was identified as Bacillus subtilis.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the application value of Overlap anastomosis in Billroth I digestive tract reconstruction after laparoscopic distal gastrectomy in gastric cancer. Methods: Clinical data of 68 stage T1-2 gastric cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for D2 radical gastrectomy from January 2015 to January 2016 at China Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University were retrospectively analyzed. Inclusion criteria: (1) no distant metastasis of gastric cancer confirmed by gastroscopy and pathology before surgery; (2) T1-2 tumor with diameter <3 cm; (3) the lesion locating in the antrum of the stomach with distance >1 cm from the pylorus, and no invasion into middle area; (4) R0 resection confirmed by postoperative pathology; (5) no history of abdominal surgery. Among 68 cases,23 cases were in Overlap anastomosis group and 45 cases in Billroth I anastomosis group. D2 lymph node dissection and distal gastrectomy were performed in both groups. In the Overlap anastomosis group, the duodenum and stomach were severed by a linear stapler under endoscopy, and the residual gastric curve anastomotic opening was selected. According to the tension between the duodenum and the remnant stomach, the anastomotic opening was selected at the upper edge of the remnant duodenum, and the anastomosis between the posterior wall of the remnant stomach and the upper wall of the duodenum was completed by placing the stapler under endoscopy. Then the common opening was closed and the remnant duodenum was resected. In the traditional Billroth I anastomosis group, pneumoperitoneum was discontinued after amputation of the duodenum under laparoscopy. The median incision of the upper abdomen was 9-12 cm. The distal stomach was pulled out to complete the excision of specimens, the extraction of specimens and Billroth I digestive tract reconstruction. The intraoperative and postoperative conditions of the two groups were compared with student t test (continuous variable) and chi-square test (categorica variable). Results: Of the 68 patients,39 were males and 29 were females,with age of (65.5±10.2)(51 to 77)years. Differences in baseline data between Overlap group and Billroth I group were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). Laparoscopic surgery was successfully performed in both groups without conversion to open operation. As compared with the Billroth I group, the Overlap group had significantly shorter operation time [(149.8±10.1) minutes vs. (169.8±15.3) minutes, t=5.658,P=0.008], shorter anastomotic time of digestive tract reconstruction [(31.2±3.8) minutes vs. (36.3±3.3) minutes, t=3.389, P=0.003] and shorter abdominal incision length [(4.5±0.9) cm vs.(11.0±2.3) cm, t=13.244,P=0.004]. There were no significant differences between two groups in intraoperative blood loss [(92.9±22.4) ml vs. (87.0±7.3) ml,t=1.186,P=0.366], number of lymph node dissected (28.4±5.7 vs. 27.3±5.2, t=0.838, P=0.383), postoperative flatus time [(4.4±2.1) days vs.(4.2±1.8) days, t=0.391, P=0.563], morbidity of postoperative complication [4.3%(1/23) vs. 6.7%(3/45), χ2=0.148,P=0.701]. All the patients were followed up for 28±10 (10-46) months. There were no long-term complications, recurrence or death in two groups. Conclusion: Overlap anastomosis in Billroth I digestive tract reconstruction after laparoscopic distal gastrectomy is safe and effective, and can reduce the anastomosis time.

Abstract
Objective: To summarize and analyze the clinical manifestation of conjunctival papilloma, its relationship with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and the recurrence after the combination of operation and pharmacotherapy. Methods: A retrospective case series study. Analysis of 40 patients (41 eyes) with conjunctival papilloma treated at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2008 to June 2018 was performed. All patients were given routine blood and urine, hepatitis B virus surface antigen, antibodies to hepatitis C virus, antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus and antibodies to Treponema pallidum testing, and HPV testing for the urethra epithelial tissue. Direct contact of the tumor with instruments was avoided during surgery, and freezing treatment was combined. HPV testing was performed for the resected conjunctival papilloma. Multiple medications were used after surgery. Results: In 40 cases with 41 eyes, there were 22 males (23 eyes) and 18 females (18 eyes). A single tumor was seen in 27 eyes, and multiple tumors were seen in 14 eyes. Thirteen patients (13 eyes) older than 50 years old had pedicel-free papillpma, and 27 patients (28 eyes) aged from 12 to 40 years had pedicel-type papillpma. All cases were confirmed by pathology as conjunctival papilloma, of which 9 cases showed moderate to severe atypical hyperplasia on squamous cells. The HPV test was positive in 17 out of the 40 cases (42.5%) of conjunctival papilloma. Urine test results of 16 patients (40.0%) were positive for occult blood and showed that urinary white blood cell was elevated. Of the 40 patients, 33 were newly diagnosed and 7 had a relapse. The average follow-up time was (37.4±11.9) months after combined therapy and no recurrence was found in any patients. Conclusions: Conjunctival papilloma is usually observed in people aged from 20 to 40 years and older than 50 years, and it often occurs in one eye. Its main pathological feature is benign tumors of the papillary hyperplasia on the conjunctival epithelial tissue. Some patients have atypical hyperplasia of squamous cells. The cause of the disease may be related to the infection of HPV and the urinary tract. Combined treatment can reduce the recurrence rate of conjunctival papilloma.

Abstract
Carbyne, an interesting synthetic intermediate, has recently been generated from hypervalent iodine precursors via photoredox catalysis. Given the underexplored chemistry of carbyne, due to the paucity of carbyne sources, we are intrigued to discover a new source for this reactive species from classical reagents - phosphonium ylides. Our novel strategy employing phosphonium ylides in an olefin hydrocarbonation reaction features a facile approach for constructing carbon-carbon bonds through metal-free and benign reaction conditions. Moreover, the hydrocarbonation products were delivered in a highly regioselective manner.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD)so as to improve the understanding of IgG4-RD in China. Methods: IgG4-RD patients were recruited from Peking Union Medical College Hospital between January 2011 and January 2016. All patients were followed-up for more than 6 months. The demographic characteristics, symptoms, organ involvements, laboratory examinations and treatment efficacy were evaluated and analyzed. Results: A total of 346 patients were finally enrolled, including 230 males (66.5%) and 116 females (33.5%). The mean age of disease onset was (53.8±14.2) years old. The mostly common involved organs were lymph nodes (56.4%) and submandibular glands (52.6%). Other affected organs and manifestations included: swelling of the lacrimal glands (46.5%), autoimmune pancreatitis (38.4%), pulmonary involvement (28.0%), sclerosing cholangitis (25.4%), naso-sinusitis (23.4%), parotid gland swelling (21.7%), retroperitoneal fibrosis (19.9%), large arteries involvement (9.5%), kidney involvement (obstructive nephropathy caused by retroperitoneal fibrosis was excluded) (6.9%), skin lesions (6.4%). Rare features consisted of thyroid glands, pituitary glands, gastrointestinal tract, pachymeningitis, pericardium, sclerosing mediastinitis and orchitis. The majority of patients had multi-organ involvement, such as 74.3% patients with 3 and more, 18.2% and 7.5% patients with 2 and single organ involvement respectively. The average IgG4-RD responder index (IgG4-RD RI) was 13.21±5.70. History of allergy was found in 172 (49.7%) patients. As to the laboratory tests, elevated serum IgG4 levels were confirmed in 285 (94.1%) patients, which was positively correlated with IgG4-RD RI. There were 33.5% patients receiving monotherapy of glucocorticoid, 52.6% treated with glucocorticoids combined with immunosuppressive agents, 4.9% patients with immunosuppressant only, and 9.0% patients with mild disease not receiving medication. The majority (336, 97.1%) patients improved the above regimens. Conclusion: IgG4-RD is a systemic fibro-inflammatory disease with multiple organ involvement. The mostly common involved organs include lymph node, submandibular glands, and pancreas. Glucocorticoids and immunosuppressive agents were effective for IgG4-RD.

Abstract
Shuidouchi is a traditional Chinese fermented soybean product and its quality is largely affected by the microbes involved in the fermentation. In this study, eleven Shuidouchi samples were collected from southwest China and the microbial diversity and its correlations with chemical characteristics were investigated. Bacterial community was detected using 16S rRNA sequencing, along with bacterial and fungal viable plate counts. Biogenic amines and other chemical characteristics were determined by HPLC and corresponding chemical reaction methods. Among eleven Shuidouchi samples, 21 phyla and 356 genera were identified. Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria were the predominant phyla while Bacillus, Bacteroides and Lactobacillus were the main genera. The average cell number of bacteria, lactic acid bacteria and fungi were 1.6 × 106, 5.9 × 104 and 7.6 × 103 CFU/g, respectively. HPLC results showed that the mean concentration of tryptamine, β-phenylethylamine, putrescine, cadaverine, histamine, tyramine, spermidine and spermine were 23.11, 3.66, 12.21, 7.12, 8.13, 22.98, 24.72, and 39.00 mg/kg, respectively. The average content of other characteristics including amino acid nitrogen, titratable acidity, and reducing sugar were 2.08, 3.44, and 25.78 g/kg, respectively. Shuidouchi samples were slightly acidic or neutral. Fibrinolytic enzyme activity was detected only in one sample. Among top 52 identified genera, 9 genera showed positive correlations with the chemical characteristics of Shuidouchi while 15 genera were negatively associated. Our results indicated that Shuidouchi contained rich microbial resources and were edible safety based on the tested indexes. The associations identified between microbes and chemical characteristics could be further utilized in the food fermentation industry.
