Mammalian Tolerance to Amino Acid Heterochirality

ChemBioChem, Accepted Article.
Organisms use amino acids predominantly in l‐configuration. On the other hand, a series of studies show that a variety of d‐amino acids also occur in mammals and amino acid homochirality is not complete. Mammals de novo synthesize most amino acids with l‐configuration, but serine and aspartate are converted from l‐ to d‐configuration by endogenous ...

A one‐year efficacy assessment of subcutaneous immunotherapy in dust mite allergic rhinitis patients based on clinical symptoms and objective biomarkers

Eye &ENT Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To evaluate the 1‐year efficacy of subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) in treating dust mite‐induced allergic rhinitis (AR) and establish objective biomarkers for efficacy monitoring. Methods Fifty‐nine AR patients underwent 1‐year SCIT. Subjective symptoms were assessed via total nasal symptom score (TNSS), combined symptom/medication

Mechanistic Insights and Pharmacological Approaches for Nitrogen and Sulfur Mustards and Their Implications as Therapeutic Agents

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nitrogen and sulfur mustards, often acting as vesicants, have significant consequences for public health. Skin is a common site for exposure to these vesicants that can result in considerable morbidity and mortality. Given that the treatment options are limited, new insights into the mechanisms for the toxicity of these vesicants that can be ...

Illuminating Immunity: A Systematic Review of Immune Cell Autofluorescence

Journal of Biophotonics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Immunophenotyping provides valuable prognostic and diagnostic information, but is technically complex and expensive. The assessment of autofluorescence is label‐free and provides complex information on cell identity. However, research on its application to immunophenotyping has been heterogenous.

An infant with Kawasaki disease having gastrointestinal bleeding due to multiple gastric ulcers

Journal of General and Family Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic vasculitis managed mainly through intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), aspirin, and steroids. Although gastrointestinal symptoms are common, gastrointestinal bleeding is rare. We present the case of an 11‐month‐old girl with incomplete KD who developed severe gastrointestinal bleeding due to multiple ...
