We report the synthesis and characterization of the first terminal imido complex of an Fe-S cluster, (IMes)3 Fe4 S4 =NDipp (2; IMes=1,3-dimesitylimidazol-2-ylidene, Dipp=2,6-diisopropylphenyl), which is generated by oxidative group transfer from DippN3 to the all-ferrous cluster (IMes)3 Fe4 S4 (PPh3 ). This two-electron process is achieved by formal one-electron oxidation of the imido-bound Fe site and one-electron oxidation of two IMes-bound Fe sites. Structural, spectroscopic, and computational studies establish that the Fe-imido site is best described as a high-spin Fe3+ center, which is manifested in its long Fe-N(imido) distance of 1.763(2) Å. Cluster 2 abstracts hydrogen atoms from 1,4-cyclohexadiene to yield the corresponding anilido complex, demonstrating competency for C-H activation.Identifying genic male-sterility (GMS) genes and elucidating their roles are important to unveil plant male reproduction and promote their application in crop breeding. However, compared with Arabidopsis and rice, relatively fewer maize GMS genes have been discovered and little is known about their regulatory pathways underlying anther and pollen development. Here, by sequencing and analysing anther transcriptomes at 11 developmental stages in maize B73, Zheng58 and M6007 inbred lines, 1100 transcription factor (TF) genes were identified to be stably differentially expressed among different developmental stages. Among them, 14 maize TF genes (9 types belonging to five TF families) were selected and performed CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene mutagenesis, and then, 12 genes in eight types, including ZmbHLH51, ZmbHLH122, ZmTGA9-1/-2/-3, ZmTGA10, ZmMYB84, ZmMYB33-1/-2, ZmPHD11 and ZmLBD10/27, were identified as maize new GMS genes by using DNA sequencing, phenotypic and cytological analyses. Notably, ZmTGA9-1/-2/-3 triple-gene mutants and ZmMYB33-1/-2 double-gene mutants displayed complete male sterility, but their double- or single-gene mutants showed male fertility. Similarly, ZmLBD10/27 double-gene mutant displayed partial male sterility with 32.18% of aborted pollen grains. In addition, ZmbHLH51 was transcriptionally activated by ZmbHLH122 and their proteins were physically interacted. Molecular markers co-segregating with these GMS mutations were developed to facilitate their application in maize breeding. Finally, all 14-type maize GMS TF genes identified here and reported previously were compared on functional conservation and diversification among maize, rice and Arabidopsis. These findings enrich GMS gene and mutant resources for deeply understanding the regulatory network underlying male fertility and for creating male-sterility lines in maize.Discrimination of cancer cells/tissues from normal ones is of critical importance for early diagnosis and treatment of cancers. Herein, we present a new strategy for high-contrast fluorescence diagnosis of cancer cells/tissues based on β-Lapachone (β-Lap, an anticancer agent) triggered ROS (reactive oxygen species) amplification specific in cancer cells/tissues. With the strategy, a wide range of cancer cells/tissues, including surgical tissue specimens harvested from patients, were distinguished from normal ones by using a combination of β-Lap and a Si-rhodamine-based NIR fluorescent ROS probe PSiR3 developed in this work with average tumor-to-normal (T/N) ratios up to 15 in cell level and 24 in tissue level, far exceeding the clinically acceptable threshold of 2.0. What's more, the strategy allowed the fluorescence discrimination of tumor tissues from inflammatory ones based on whether a marked fluorescence enhancement could be induced when treated with PSiR3 and β-Lap/PSiR3 combination, respectively.<br />The coexistence of peripheral neuropathy (PN) and restless legs syndrome (RLS) or Willis-Ekbom disease is relatively frequent, but its prevalence has shown a high variability across studies. In addition, several reports have shown data suggesting the presence of PN in patients with idiopathic RLS.<br />A search was undertaken using the PubMed, Embase and Web of Science Databases, from 1966 to 6 December 2020, crossing the search term 'restless legs syndrome' with 'neuropathy', 'polyneuropathy' (PNP) and 'peripheral neuropathy', and the references of interest for this topic were identified; a meta-analysis was performed, according to PRISMA guidelines, and a calculation of pooled prevalences, where appropriate, was made using standard methods.<br />Restless legs syndrome has been reported in 5.2%-53.7% of patients with PN (average 21.5%; 95% confidence interval 18.6%-24.5%), and PN has been reported in 0%-87.5% of patients with RLS (average 41.8%; 95% confidence interval 39.9%-43.6%), both being significantly moreation between these two entities.Patients with cirrhotic liver disease are in a state of fluctuating hemostatic balance. Hepatic synthetic dysfunction is commonly complicated by coagulation disorders that constitute an important parameter of most prognostic scores. The dominant feature of this dysfunction is bleeding tendencies, but cirrhotic patients may also exhibit inappropriate clotting and pro-coagulation placing them at risk for thromboembolism. We present a case of perioperative fatal pulmonary embolism in an 8-year-old patient with biliary cirrhosis secondary to drug-induced vanishing bile duct syndrome undergoing a deceased donor liver transplant. The massive pulmonary embolism occurred intra-operatively after reperfusion of the donor liver. Despite the initiation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, the postoperative course was complicated by bleeding and the patient expired. [https://www.selleckchem.com/products/sitravatinib-mgcd516.html Sitravatinib inhibitor] This unique case highlights the need for venous thromboembolism prevention by screening and prophylaxis prior to liver transplant in at least a subpopulation of pediatric patients. While the risk of thrombosis postoperatively in pediatrics patients is well known, the preoperative risk is less frequently described and deserves attention and practice changing action.<br />To assess the role of consolidation therapy after cessation of nucleoside/nucleotide analogs (NAs) for off-treatment outcome and to explore the optimal consolidation period in hepatitis B e-antigen (HBeAg) positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients.<br />We undertook a prospective, observational cohort study including HBeAg positive CHB patients discontinuing NAs. Virological relapse was the primary endpoint of the current study and was defined as a serum hepatitis B virus DNA more than 10<br />copies/ml (another assay was carried out for confirmation at least 2weeks later). Propensity score matching analysis was used to balance the baseline characteristics between HBeAg positive CHB patients with different consolidation periods.<br />A total of 190 HBeAg positive CHB patients were included. Fifty-four patients relapsed during follow-up and the cumulative relapse rates at years 1, 3, 5, and 10 were 19.5%, 24.1%, 27.2%, and 32.1%, respectively. Most patients (61.1%) relapsed in the first 6months. After propensity score matching, significantly lower cumulative relapse rates were observed in patients with consolidation period ≥36months compared with patients with consolidation period more than 36months (29.
