TL;DR: Structural analysis of two catalytically active sulfatases revealed that a cysteine residue that is predicted from the cDNA sequence and conserved among all known sulfatased is replaced by a 2-amino-3-oxopropionic acid residue, while in sulfatase derived from MSD cells, this cysteined residue is retained.

TL;DR: It is found that all anthocyanidin glycosides were hydrolysed by the microflora within 20 min and 2 h of incubation depending on the sugar moiety, and phenolic degradation products were already detected after 20 min of incubations.

TL;DR: Urinary [TIMP-2]*[IGFBP7] serves as a sensitive and specific biomarker to predict AKI early after cardiac surgery and to predict renal recovery in patients who developed AKI.
Abstract: Background: Difficulties in prediction and early identification of (acute kidney injury) AKI have hindered the ability to develop preventive and therapeutic measures for this syndrome. We tested the hypothesis that a urine test measuring insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2), both inducers of G1 cell cycle arrest, a key mechanism implicated in acute kidney injury (AKI), could predict AKI in cardiac surgery patients. Methods: We studied 50 patients at high risk for AKI undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Serial urine samples were analyzed for [TIMP-2]*[IGFBP7] concentrations. The primary outcome measure was AKI as defined by international consensus criteria following surgery. Furthermore, we investigated whether urine [TIMP-2]*[IGFBP7] could predict renal recovery from AKI prior to hospital discharge. Results: 26 patients (52%) developed AKI. Diagnosis based on serum creatinine and/or oliguria did not occur until 1–3 days after CPB. In contrast, urine concentration of [TIMP-2]*[IGFBP7] rose from a mean of 0.49 (SE 0.24) at baseline to 1.51 (SE 0.57) 4 h after CPB in patients who developed AKI. The maximum urinary [TIMP-2]*[IGFBP7] concentration achieved in the first 24 hours following surgery (composite time point) demonstrated an area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve of 0.84. Sensitivity was 0.92, and specificity was 0.81 for a cutoff value of 0.50. The decline in urinary [TIMP-2]*[IGFBP7] values was the strongest predictor for renal recovery. Conclusions: Urinary [TIMP-2]*[IGFBP7] serves as a sensitive and specific biomarker to predict AKI early after cardiac surgery and to predict renal recovery.

TL;DR: This mini-review pays particular attention to the most common classes of small-molecule constituents of lichens, from both the chemical viewpoint and with regard to possible therapeutic implications, which will provide impetus for identifying novel lead-compounds with therapeutic potential and poses new challenges for medicinal chemistry.
Abstract: Lichen metabolites exert a wide variety of biological actions including antibiotic, antimycobacterial, antiviral, antiinflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic, antiproliferative and cytotoxic effects. Even though these manifold activities of lichen metabolites have now been recognized, their therapeutic potential has not yet been fully explored and thus remains pharmaceutically unexploited. In this mini-review, particular attention is paid to the most common classes of small-molecule constituents of lichens, from both the chemical viewpoint and with regard to possible therapeutic implications. In particular, aliphatic acids, pulvinic acid derivatives, depsides and depsidones, dibenzofuans, anthraquinones, naphthoquinones as well as epidithiopiperazinediones are described. An improved access to these lichen substances in drug discovery high-throughput screening programs will provide impetus for identifying novel lead-compounds with therapeutic potential and poses new challenges for medicinal chemistry.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of mechanical surface modification on the performance of Li metal foil electrodes is systematically investigated, and the applied micro-needle surface treatment technique for Li metal has various advantages.
Abstract: The effect of mechanical surface modification on the performance of lithium (Li) metal foil electrodes is systematically investigated. The applied micro-needle surface treatment technique for Li metal has various advantages. 1) This economical and efficient technique is able to cover a wide range of surface area with a simple rolling process, which can be easily conducted. 2) This technique achieves improved rate capability and cycling stability, as well as a reduced interfacial resistance. The micro-needle treatment improves the rate capability by 20% (0.750 mAh at a rate of 7C) and increases the cycling stability by 200% (85% of the initial discharge capacity after 150 cycles) compared to untreated bare Li metal (0.626 mAh at a rate of 7C, 85% of the initial discharge capacity after only 70 cycles). 3) This technique efficiently suppresses Li formation of high surface area Li during the Li deposition process, as preferred sites for controlled Li plating are generated.
