The natural immune molecules urinary Tamm–Horsfall protein and pentraxin 3 as predictors for recurrent urinary tract infection severity: a single-center self-control study by Zongping Li, Yingru Xu, Qian Wang, Gang Yuan, Jing Shu, Shiwei Liu, Xuezhong Gong

“…Also identifying which patients are more susceptible to developing pyelonephritis rather than the more local disease of cystitis is imperfect, although delayed diagnosis of a UTI is a good indicator for developing pyelonephritis. This study aims to assess the potential of urinary Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP) and Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) as predictors of RUTI symptom severity and recurrence, while also evaluating the efficacy of the Chinese herbal formulation Tailin Formula (TLF) as a clinical therapeutic intervention for RUTI.Methods A single-center cohort study was conducted involving 142 participants, consisting of 31 healthy individuals (non-RUTI group, n = 31) and 111 patients with RUTI. …”

“…Among those patients with massive bleeding requiring MTP activation, we found significantly higher levels of HMGB-1 compared to patients without MTP activation (median [interquartile range]: 84.3 µg/L [34.2–145.9] vs. 21.1 µg/L [15.7–30.4]; p < 0.001). HMGB-1 level showed good performance in predicting MTP activation, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.84 (95% CI 0.75–0.93) and a cut-off value of 30.55 µg/L. …”

Integration and Comparative Analysis of Remote Sensing and In Situ Observations of Aerosol Optical Characteristics Beneath Clouds by Jing Chen, Jing Duan, Ling Yang, Yong Chen, Lijun Guo, Juan Cai

“…The validation results show that at the comparison heights, under cloudy-sky conditions with strong winds (>3.4 m/s) and high relative humidity (RH) (>70%), the aerosol extinction coefficients between the two sites are in good agreement; thus, the observations at the top of the mountain are more suitable for in situ validation under cloudy-sky conditions; however, the local circulations under clear-sky conditions lead to large differences in the aerosol properties at the same altitude between the two sites and are unsuitable for validation. …”

Synthesis and Antifungal Activity of Fmoc-Protected 1,2,4-Triazolyl-α-Amino Acids and Their Dipeptides Against <i>Aspergillus</i> Species by Tatevik Sargsyan, Lala Stepanyan, Henrik Panosyan, Heghine Hakobyan, Monika Israyelyan, Avetis Tsaturyan, Nelli Hovhannisyan, Caterina Vicidomini, Anna Mkrtchyan, Ashot Saghyan, Giovanni N. Roviello

“…On the other hand, the protected amino acid <b>3a</b> demonstrated consistent inhibition across all tested <i>Aspergillus</i> strains, but with an IC₅₀ value of 267.86 µM for <i>Aspergillus flavus</i>, it was less potent than fluconazole (IC₅₀ 184.64 µM), still showing some potential as a good antifungal molecule. Overall, our findings indicate that the synthesized 1,2,4-triazolyl derivatives <b>3a</b> and <b>7a</b> hold significant promise as potential antifungal agents in treating <i>Aspergillus</i>-induced diseases in cattle, as well as for broader applications in human health. …”
