RESUMEN
Biocatalysis has revolutionized chemical synthesis, providing sustainable methods for preparing various organic molecules. In enzyme-mediated organic synthesis, most reactions involve molecules operating from their ground states. Over the past 25 years, there has been an increased interest in enzymatic processes that utilize electronically excited states accessed through photoexcitation. These photobiocatalytic processes involve a diverse array of reaction mechanisms that are complementary to one another. This comprehensive review will describe the state-of-the-art strategies in photobiocatalysis for organic synthesis until December 2022. Apart from reviewing the relevant literature, a central goal of this review is to delineate the mechanistic differences between the general strategies employed in the field. We will organize this review based on the relationship between the photochemical step and the enzymatic transformations. The review will include mechanistic studies, substrate scopes, and protein optimization strategies. By clearly defining mechanistically-distinct strategies in photobiocatalytic chemistry, we hope to illuminate future synthetic opportunities in the area.

a-Tertiary amino acids are essential components of drugs and agrochemicals, yet traditional syntheses are step-intensive and provide access to a limited range of structures with varying levels of enantioselectivity. Here, we report the α-alkylation of unprotected alanine and glycine by pyridinium salts using pyridoxal (PLP)-dependent threonine aldolases with a Rose Bengal photoredox catalyst. The strategy efficiently prepares various a-tertiary amino acids in a single chemical step as a single enantiomer. UV-vis spectroscopy studies reveal a ternary interaction between the pyridinium salt, protein, and photocatalyst, which we hypothesize is responsible for localizing radical formation to the active site. This method highlights the opportunity for combining photoredox catalysts with enzymes to reveal new catalytic functions for known enzymes.

BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a significant global health issue, suspected to elevate the risk for various cancers. This study sought to discern whether COPD serves as a risk marker or a causative factor for prevalent cancers. METHODS: We employed univariable MR (UVMR) analyses to investigate the causal relationship between COPD and the top ten common cancers. Sensitivity analyses were performed to validate the main findings. Multivariable MR (MVMR) and two-step MR analyses were also conducted. False-discovery-rate (FDR) was used to correct multiple testing bias. RESULTS: The UVMR analysis demonstrated notable associations between COPD and lung cancer (odds ratio [OR] = 1.42, 95%CI 1.15-1.77, FDR = 6.37 × 10-3). This relationship extends to lung cancer subtypes such as squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), adenocarcinoma (LUAD), and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). A tentative link was also identified between COPD and bladder cancer (OR = 1.53, 95%CI 1.03-2.28, FDR = 0.125). No significant associations were found between COPD and other types of cancer. The MVMR analysis that adjusted for smoking, alcohol drinking, and body mass index did not identify any significant causal relationships between COPD and either lung or bladder cancer. However, the two-step MR analysis indicates that COPD mediated 19.2% (95% CI 12.7-26.1%), 36.1% (24.9-33.2%), 35.9% (25.7-34.9%), and 35.5% (26.2-34.8%) of the association between smoking and overall lung cancer, as well as LUAD, LUSC, and SCLC, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: COPD appears to act more as a risk marker than a direct cause of prevalent cancers. Importantly, it partially mediates the connection between smoking and lung cancer, underscoring its role in lung cancer prevention strategies.

The emergence of photocatalysis has greatly advanced radical fluoroalkylation reactions. Central to this advancement is the introduction and refinement of radical reagents, which play a pivotal role in driving these reactions forward. Intriguingly, some of these reagents, previously not recognized for their radical properties, have emerged as key players in this area. In this Perspective, we provide an overview of four representative reagents pioneered by our laboratory, which have subsequently garnered extensive application in broader research contexts, including difluorocarbene precursors bromodifluoromethylphosphonium bromide, electrophilic sulfonylation reagent triflic anhydride, and nucleophilic trifluoromethylation reagent methyl fluorosulfonyldifluoroacetate (Chen's reagent). The integration of phosphonium reagents, triflic anhydride, and methyl fluorosulfonyldifluoroacetate into photocatalysis has enabled some unexpected reactivities and now notably expanded the capabilities in radical difluoromethylation, trifluoromethylation, and difluoroalkylation. Our discussion highlights how these atypical reagents have enriched the toolkit available for radical fluoroalkylations, offering insights that could inspire future research and application in this area.
RESUMEN
Alkene difunctionalizations enable the synthesis of structurally elaborated products from simple and ubiquitous starting materials in a single chemical step. Carbohydroxylations of olefins represent a family of reactivity that furnish structurally complex alcohols. While examples of this type of three-component coupling have been reported, catalytic asymmetric examples remain elusive. Here, we report an enzyme-catalyzed asymmetric carbohydroxylation of alkenes catalyzed by flavin-dependent "ene"-reductases to produce enantioenriched tertiary alcohols. Seven rounds of protein engineering reshape the enzyme's active site to increase activity and enantioselectivity. Mechanistic studies suggest that C-O bond formation occurs via a 5-endo-trig cyclization with the pendant ketone to afford an α-oxy radical which is oxidized and hydrolyzed to form the product. This work demonstrates photoenzymatic reactions involving "ene"-reductases can terminate radicals via mechanisms other than hydrogen atom transfer, expanding their utility in chemical synthesis.

OBJECTIVE: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a well-known complex multicomponent disease characterized by systemic inflammation that frequently coexists with other conditions. We investigated the relationship between some inflammatory markers and complications in COPD patients to explore the possible roles of inflammation in these comorbidities. METHODS: This study used cross-sectional and case-control methods. We included 336 hospitalized COPD patients, 64 healthy controls, and 42 major depression patients and evaluated all participants using the Hamilton Rating Scale. C-reactive protein (CRP), red blood cell distribution width (RDW), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte/lymphocyte ratio (MLR), interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were collected and measured in the study population. Statistical methods were used to analyze the association of inflammatory markers with COPD comorbidities. RESULTS: Cor pulmonale and psychological comorbidities (depression and anxiety) were more common in this study on COPD patients. We found that MLR (OR = 2.054, 95 % CI 1.129-3.735, p = 0.018) and RDW (OR = 1.367, 95 % CI 1.178-1.586, p = 0.000) were related to COPD patients complicated with cor pulmonale, while IL-6 (OR = 1.026, 95 % CI 1.001-1.053, p = 0.045) and RDW (OR = 1.280, 95 % CI 1.055-1.552, p = 0.012) were related to depression symptoms. CONCLUSION: MLR, RDW and IL-6 were closely related to cor pulmonale and depression in COPD patients. IL-1 ß and IL-6 are closely related to depression in humans.

BACKGROUND: Vonoprazan is an emerging option for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection. We aimed to assess the research trends and hotspots of vonoprazan-based therapy for H. pylori eradication through bibliometric analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Vonoprazan-based studies for eradicating H. pylori published from 2015 to 2023 were extracted from the Web of Science using a combination of the search terms "H. pylori" and "vonoprazan." Each study was weighted according to the number of included patients. RESULTS: A total of 65 studies were included. Japan was the most productive and cooperative country, accounting for 69.2% of publications. Vonoprazan in combination with amoxicillin and clarithromycin (41.8%) was most used for eradicating H. pylori, followed by vonoprazan in combination with amoxicillin (20.4%) and vonoprazan in combination with amoxicillin and metronidazole (19.4%). The eradication rates for first-line vonoprazan-based therapies by intention to treat were: dual therapy (82.9%, 95% CI: 77.7%-88.0%), triple (83.3%, 95% CI: 79.7%-86.8%) and quadruple therapy (91.5%, 95% CI: 85.5%-97.4%), and per protocol: dual therapy (86.1%, 95% CI: 81.5%-90.7%), triple (89.3%, 95% CI: 87.9%-90.6%) and quadruple therapy (94.0%, 95% CI: 88.6%-99.4%). Vonoprazan was superior to proton pump inhibitors in triple therapy regarding empirical therapy (RR = 1.18, 95% CI, 1.14-1.22, p < 0.01) and clarithromycin-resistant group (RR = 1.71, 95% CI, 1.33-2.20, p < 0.01), but there is no significant difference between triple therapy and dual therapy (RR = 1.02, 95% CI, 0.98-1.07, p = 0.33). CONCLUSIONS: Vonoprazan has been widely used for H. pylori eradication. Further studies are needed to optimize the best duration and dosage of vonoprazan-based regimens in different regions.

BACKGROUND: The oral cavity is considered a potential reservoir of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), and the imbalance of oral microbiota directly reflects the health of the host. We aimed to explore the relationship among oral microbiota, H. pylori infection, and vonoprazan-amoxicillin (VA) dual therapy for H. pylori eradication. METHODS: Helicobacter pylori-positive patients were randomized into low- or high-dose VA dual therapy (i.e., amoxicillin 1 g b.i.d. or t.i.d. and vonoprazan 20 mg b.i.d) for 7 or 10 days. H. pylori-negative patients served as normal controls. Saliva samples were collected from 41 H. pylori-positive patients and 13 H. pylori-negative patients. The oral microbiota was analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing, followed by bioinformatics analysis. RESULTS: Helicobacter pylori-positive patients had higher richness and diversity and better evenness of oral microbiota than normal controls. Beta diversity analysis estimated by Bray-Curtis or weighted UniFrac showed distinct clustering between H. pylori-positive patients and normal controls. The number of bacterial interactions was reduced in H. pylori-positive patients compared with that in negative patients. Forty-one patients evaluated before and after successful H. pylori eradication were divided into low (L-VA) and high dose (H-VA) amoxicillin dose groups. The alpha and beta diversity of the oral microbiota between L-VA and H-VA patients exhibited no differences at the three time points (before eradication, after eradication, and at confirmation of H. pylori infection cure). CONCLUSION: Helicobacter pylori infection could alter the diversity, composition, and bacterial interactions of the oral microbiota. Both L-VA and H-VA dual therapy showed minimal influence on the oral microbiota.

BACKGROUND: Vonoprazan-amoxicillin (VA) dual therapy has been shown to achieve acceptable cure rates for treatment of Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) in Japan. Its effectiveness in other regions is unknown. We aimed to explore the efficacy of VA dual therapy as first-line treatment for H. pyloriinfection in China. METHODS: This was a single center, prospective, randomized clinical pilot study conducted in China. Treatment naive H. pyloriinfected patients were randomized to receive either low- or high-dose amoxicillin-vonoprazan consisting of amoxicillin 1 g either b.i.d. or t.i.d plus VPZ 20 mg b.i.d for 7 or 10 days. 13 C-urea breath tests were used to access the cure rate at least 4 weeks after treatment. RESULTS: Three hundred and twenty-three patients were assessed, and 119 subjects were randomized. The eradication rates of b.i.d. amoxicillin for 7 and 10 days, t.i.d. amoxicillin for 7 and 10 days were 66.7% (16/24), 89.2% (33/37), 81.0% (17/21), and 81.1% (30/37) (p = .191) by intention-to-treat analysis, respectively, and 72.7% (16/22), 89.2% (33/37), 81.0% (17/21), and 81.1% (30/37) (p = .454) by per-protocol analysis, respectively. CONCLUSION: Neither 7- or 10-day VA dual therapy with b.i.d. or t.i.d. amoxicillin provides satisfied efficacy as the first-line treatment for H. pyloriinfection in China. Further optimization is needed.

Trifluoromethoxylated aromatics (ArOCF3 ) are valuable structural motifs in the area of drug discovery due to the enhancement of their desired physicochemical properties upon the introduction of the trifluoromethoxy group (CF3 O). Although significant progress has been made recently in the introduction of CF3 O group into aromatics, current methods either require the use of expensive trifluoromethoxylation reagents or require harsh reaction conditions. We present a conceptually new and operationally simple protocol for the direct C-H trifluoromethoxylation of (hetero)aromatics by the combination of the readily available trifluoromethylating reagent and oxygen under electrochemical reaction conditions. This reaction proceeds through the initial generation of CF3 radical followed by conversion to CF3 O radical, addition to (hetero)aromatics and rearomatization. The utility of this electrochemical trifluoromethoxylation is illustrated by the direct incorporation of CF3 O group into a variety of (hetero)aromatics as well as bio-relevant molecules.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND One of the most important factors in the pathogenesis of COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is oxidative stress. GGT (gamma-glutamyltransferase) has been regarded as a novel marker of oxidative stress over the last few years. This study aimed to compare the serum levels of GGT during stable and acute exacerbations of COPD at a single center. MATERIAL AND METHODS The research included 117 patients with AECOPD (acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), 107 patients with stable COPD, and 112 control subjects. Serum GGT, spirometry function, and other clinical parameters (anthropometric and biochemical measurements) were evaluated and compared among the subjects. RESULTS Serum GGT was elevated in patients with stable COPD in comparison to the control subjects. Its level was inversely related to lung function. It was also significantly higher in AECOPD patients compared to stable COPD patients. We also found that a GGT level of 21.2 IU/L displays a reliable diagnostic prediction of COPD and that a GGT level of 26.5 IU/L can be applied to predict the exacerbation of COPD. CONCLUSIONS Our research demonstrates that serum GGT level is inversely associated with pulmonary function and may serve as a biomarker during the progression of COPD. The monitoring of GGT values can be applied to evaluating COPD and its exacerbation risk.

BACKGROUND: Thrombophilia is becoming a more frequently reported disorder these years. Hereditary protein S deficiency is one of the anticoagulant deficiencies that eventually results in thrombophilia. CASE PRESENTATION: A 24-year-old male patient was suffering from unexplained thrombosis for the second time with a family history of deep venous thrombosis. Screening tests for anticoagulant proteins found the activity of protein S markedly lowered (5.0%). The patient was discharged after anticoagulation treatment. Four years later, the review still showed the activity of protein S in his plasma decreased (16.0%). Molecular genetic analysis revealed him homozygous for a missense mutation, c.664G>A, in the exon7 of PROS1. The mutation discovered here is the first mutation affecting the codon 222 of PROS1. This mutation results in the replacement of the glycine at the codon 222 of protein S with arginine, leading to a reduction of protein S function. CONCLUSIONS: The finding of this mutation may help with the understanding of the mechanism of protein S deficiency, especially in the Chinese population.

An ongoing challenge in trifluoromethylthiolation reactions is the use of less expensive and easily available trifluoromethylthio sources. Herein, we disclose an unprecedented usage of trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (Tf2 O) as a radical trifluoromethylthiolating reagent. Hydrotrifluoromethylthiolation of unactivated alkenes and alkynes with Tf2 O in the presence of PMePh2 and H2 O under visible-light photoredox catalysis gave the addition products. The trifluoromethylthio radical (. SCF3 ) was first formed from Tf2 O through a photoredox radical processes and deoxygenative reduction of PMePh2 , and H2 O serves as the H-atom donor for the hydrotrifluoromethylthiolation reaction. This reaction provides a new strategy for radical trifluoromethylthiolation.
RESUMEN
The transformation of a large-volume industrial by-product and stable greenhouse gas fluoroform (HCF3 ) to useful products has recently received significant attention. Now, a simple and scalable preparation of AgCF3 by treatment of HCF3 with t-BuOK and AgOAc is disclosed. The reactivity of the HCF3 -derived AgCF3 has been demonstrated by hydrotrifluoromethylation of alkenes and C-H trifluoromethylation of (hetero)arenes. This work not only provides a new avenue for the utilization of HCF3 , but also presents a reliable and easy-to-execute synthesis of the relatively stable AgCF3 solution.
RESUMEN
A large number of reagents have been developed for the synthesis of trifluoromethylated compounds. However, an ongoing challenge in trifluoromethylation reaction is the use of less expensive and practical trifluoromethyl sources. We report herein the unprecedented direct trifluoromethylation of (hetero)arenes using trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride as a radical trifluoromethylation reagent by merging photoredox catalysis and pyridine activation. Furthermore, introduction of both the CF3 and OTf groups of the trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride into internal alkynes to access tetrasubstituted trifluoromethylated alkenes was achieved. Since trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride is a low-cost and abundant chemical, this method provides a cost-efficient and practical route to trifluoromethylated compounds.
RESUMEN
AIM: To evaluate whether the effect of dendritic cells (DCs) on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can be relieved by blocking CCL20. METHODS: 30 Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: control, COPD, and COPD treated with CCL20 monoclonal antibody. In the latter two groups, COPD was induced by four-week cigarette smoke exposure and trachea injection of lipopolysaccharide solution on two occasions. CCL20 monoclonal antibody was injected intraperitoneally on the first day. All animals were sacrificed on the 29th day. Pathomorphology of the lung and bronchiole was analyzed using hematoxylin and eosin staining. The CCR6 content in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was detected using ELISA. DC distribution in the lung was examined by immunohistochemistry for OX62. RESULTS: COPD rat models showed pathological alterations similar to those in COPD patients. DCs, CCR6, and the severity of emphysema were significantly increased in the COPD group than in controls (all P values <0.001), and they were significantly reduced after anti-CCL20 treatment compared with the COPD group (all P values <0.05). CONCLUSION: The interaction between CCR6 and its ligand CCL20 promotes the effect of DCs in the COPD pathogenesis, which can be reduced by blocking CCL20.

AIM: To comprehensively evaluate the application of AI-assisted endoscopy in detecting different digestive diseases using bibliometric analysis. METHODS: Relevant publications from the Web of Science published from 1990 to 2022 were extracted using a combination of the search terms "AI" and "endoscopy". The following information was recorded from the included publications: Title, author, institution, country, endoscopy type, disease type, performance of AI, publication, citation, journal and H-index. RESULTS: A total of 446 studies were included. The number of articles reached its peak in 2021, and the annual citation numbers increased after 2006. China, the United States and Japan were dominant countries in this field, accounting for 28.7%, 16.8%, and 15.7% of publications, respectively. The Tada Tomohiro Institute of Gastroenterology and Proctology was the most influential institution. "Cancer" and "polyps" were the hotspots in this field. Colorectal polyps were the most concerning and researched disease, followed by gastric cancer and gastrointestinal bleeding. Conventional endoscopy was the most common type of examination. The accuracy of AI in detecting Barrett's esophagus, colorectal polyps and gastric cancer from 2018 to 2022 is 87.6%, 93.7% and 88.3%, respectively. The detection rates of adenoma and gastrointestinal bleeding from 2018 to 2022 are 31.3% and 96.2%, respectively. CONCLUSION: AI could improve the detection rate of digestive tract diseases and a convolutional neural network-based diagnosis program for endoscopic images shows promising results.

RESUMEN
Objective: The aim of the study was to explore the relevance of CD40, CD86, and GSTO1 with the pathogenesis of COPD. Methods: Patients with acute exacerbation of COPD were contrasted with the healthy and nonsmoking ones and smoking but without COPD ones. The changes of CD40, CD86, and GSTO1 in the peripheral blood, collected from different groups, were detected by flow cytometry and western blotting, respectively. Results: Compared with the nonsmoking group and smoking but without the COPD group, the expression of CD40 and CD86 of the patients with COPD increased significantly, but the expression of GSTO1 decreased. CD40 and CD86 were negatively correlated with FEV1%, while GSTO1 was positively correlated with FEV1% and negatively correlated with CD40 and CD86. Conclusion: CD40, CD86, and GSTO1 may play a role in the pathogenesis of COPD, and they are related to the severity of COPD and the degree of changes in the lung function.

Background and aim: We previously reported that vonoprazan-amoxicillin (VA) dual therapy for 7 or 10 days is not satisfactorily efficacious for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication. We aimed to explore the efficacy of VA dual therapy for 14 days as a first-line treatment for H. pylori infection. Methods: This was a single center, prospective, open-labeled, randomized non-inferiority clinical study conducted in China. Treatment naïve H. pylori infected patients were randomized into two groups: 20 mg vonoprazan (VPZ) b.i.d. in combination with low-dose (1000 mg b.i.d.) or high-dose (1000 mg t.i.d) amoxicillin for 14 days. 13C-urea breath tests were used to access the cure rate at least 4 weeks after treatment. Results: A total of 154 patients were assessed and 110 subjects were randomized. The eradication rate of VPZ with b.i.d. amoxicillin or t.i.d. amoxicillin for 14 days was 89.1% and 87.3% by intention-to-treat analysis, respectively, and 94.1% and 95.9% by per-protocol analysis, respectively. The eradication rate and incidence of adverse events were not different between the two groups. Conclusion: VPZ with b.i.d. or t.i.d. amoxicillin for 14 days provides satisfactory efficacy as a first-line treatment for H. pylori infection in China.
