Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) are increasingly used in patients who require intravenous access for a long time. We present a 53-year-old male patient with an advanced distal esophageal cancer who suffered a potentially serious mechanical complication after insertion of a PICC.Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) was used as a fluoropolymer manufacturing aid at a fluoropolymer production facility in Parkersburg, WV from 1951 to 2013. The manufacturer introduced a replacement surfactant hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer acid (HFPO-DA) that has been in use at this site since 2013. Historical releases of PFOA and related epidemiological work in this area has been primarily focused on communities downstream. To provide an update on the ongoing impacts from this plant, 94 surface water samples and 13 soil samples were collected mainly upstream and downwind of this facility. PFOA was detected in every surface water sample with concentrations exceeding 1000 ng/L at 13 sample sites within an 8 km radius of the plant. HFPO-DA was also found to be widespread with the highest levels (>100 ng/L) found in surface water up to 6.4 km north of the plant. One sample site, 28 km north of the plant, had PFOA at 143 ng/L and HFPO-DA at 42 ng/L. Sites adjacent to landfills containing fluorochemical waste had PFOA concentrations ranging up to >1000 ng/L. These data indicate that downwind atmospheric transport of both compounds has occurred and that the boundaries of the impact zone have yet to be fully delineated.The addition of cheap and also readily available raw materials, such as peanut powder, to visually and chemically similar matrices is a common problem in the food industry. When peanuts are used as an adulterant, there is an additional risk of potential health hazard to consumers as a result of allergy-induced anaphylaxis. In this study, different series of peanut admixtures to visually similar food products, such as powdered hazelnuts, almonds, and walnuts, were prepared and analyzed by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Depsipeptide in vitro For identification, an isolated signal at 3.05 ppm in the 1H NMR spectrum of polar peanut extract was used as an indicator of peanut adulteration. The chemical marker was identified as (2S,4R)-N-methyl-4-hydroxy-l-proline by resynthesis of the compound and used as an internal standard. The signal-to-noise ratio and the integral of the signal of the marker can both be used to detect peanut impurities. Overall, an approximate limit of detection of 4% admixtures of peanut in various food products was determined using a 400 MHz spectrometer. With regard to food fraud, we present a viable screening method for detection of economic-relevant peanut adulteration.Reported herein is an unprecedented multicomponent one-pot dearomative multifunctionalization of commercially available azaarenes through an in situ activation strategy, which not only achieved the first full exploitation of the reactive sites of the azaarenes, but also accomplished the efficient synthesis of bridged hydrogenated pyridines and (iso)quinolines in a highly regioselective and diastereoselective manner. In addition, we could successfully realize the step-controlled dearomative trifunctionalization and bifunctionalization of quinolines.Pathway optimization plays an important role in fine-tuning metabolic pathways. In most conditions, more than three genes are involved in the biosynthesis pathway of a specific target product. To improve the titer of products, rational regulation of a group of genes by a series of promoters with different strengths is essential. On the basis of a series of RNA-Seq data, a set of 66 native promoters was chosen to fine-tune gene expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Promoter strength was characterized by measuring the fluorescence strength of the enhanced green fluorescent protein through fluorescence-activated cell sorting. The expressions of PTDH1, PPGK1, PINO1, PSED1, and PCCW12 were stronger than that of PTDH3, whereas those of another 15 promoters were stronger than that of PTEF1. Then, 30 promoters were chosen to optimize the biosynthesis pathway of (2S)-naringenin from p-coumaric acid. With a high-throughput screening method, the highest titer of (2S)-naringenin in a 5 L bioreactor reached 1.21 g/L from p-coumaric acid, which is the highest titer according to the currently available reports.Metal-catalyzed addition of P-H bonds to alkenes, alkynes, and other unsaturated substrates in hydrophosphination and related reactions is an atom-economical approach to valuable organophosphorus compounds. Understanding the mechanisms of these processes may enable synthetic improvements and development of new reactions. The first step in several catalytic cycles is P-H oxidative addition to yield intermediate metal hydride complexes bearing M-P bonds. P-C bond formation may occur via substrate insertion into the M-H bond, followed by P-C reductive elimination, or by insertion into the M-P bond and C-H reductive elimination. In an alternative outer-sphere process, nucleophilic attack of a metal-phosphido (M-PR2) group on an unsaturated substrate and proton transfer involving the metal hydride yields the product. This Perspective reviews the mechanistic possibilities, with a focus on the P-H activation step, and recent progress in developing novel catalytic transformations involving P-C bond formation.The functionalization of coordinated dinitrogen to form nitrogen-element bonds en route to nitrogen-containing molecules is a long-standing challenge in chemical synthesis. The strong triple bond and the nonpolarity of the N2 molecule pose thermodynamic and kinetic challenges for promoting reactivity. While heterogeneous, homogeneous, and biological catalysts are all known for catalytic nitrogen fixation to ammonia, the catalytic synthesis of more complicated nitrogen-containing organic molecules has far less precedent. The example of silyl radical additions to coordinated nitrogen to form silylamines stands as the lone example of a catalytic reaction involving N2 to form a product other than ammonia. This Review surveys the field of molecular transition metal complexes as well as recent boron examples for the formation of nitrogen-element bonds. Emphasis is placed on the coordination and activation modes of N2 in the various metal compounds from across the transition series and how these structures can rationally inform reactivity studies.
