Effects of B9 and B12 vitamins deficiency on the genesis of megaloblastic anemia by Karen Aracelly Tobar Armendariz, Silvia Tatiana Tite Andi

“…Megaloblastic anemia occurs when the levels of folic acid (Vitamin B9) and cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) are low, thus generating a decrease in the cellular capacity to synthesize deoxyribonucleic acid, which causes hematological alterations in all cell lines of the marrow bone (erythrocytes and platelets), mainly causing the generation of large red blood cells with low hemoglobin concentration. …”

Nonalternant Extension of Multiple Resonance Emitter via Palladium-Catalyzed [5+2]-Annulation by Weiwen Zhuang, Waiming Chong, Junzhi Liu

“…Moreover, the nonalternant topology facilitated the delocalization of frontier molecular orbitals (FMO) within the twisted geometry, thus achieving red-shifted narrow emission. Our work provides a new synthetic strategy towards nonalternant extension of MR-emitters and gives insights into the electronic effects of multiple azepination on FMO distribution.…”

Increased dicentric chromosome in peripheral lymphocytes is related to acute skin toxicity induced by radiotherapy in cancer patients by Minjie Li, Yu Gao, Lin Han, Ping Wang, Jie Li, Junhua Song, Shasha Du, Yunfei Zhang, Yumin Lyu

“…Finally, the relationships of the frequency of dicentric chromosomes (also referred to as the dic frequency) with acute skin and marrow toxicities were assessed. Results: After RT, the mean counts of white blood cells (WBCs), lymphocytes, and platelets significantly decreased, while the red blood cells (RBCs) and hemoglobin notably increased (P ​< ​0.001), while the dic frequency was elevated remarkably, significantly higher in patients with higher-grade (>1) acute skin toxicities compared to those with lower-grade (=1) acute skin toxicities (Z ​= ​−1.985, P ​= ​0.047). …”
