Dual systems theories suggest that greater imbalance between higher reward sensitivity and lower cognitive control across adolescence conveys risk for behaviors such as heavy episodic drinking (HED). Prior research demonstrated that psychological analogues of these systems, sensation seeking and premeditation, change from childhood through emerging adulthood, and each has been independently linked with HED. However, few studies have assessed whether change over time in these developing analogues is prospectively associated with HED. Moreover, we know of no research that has shown whether within-person differences between higher sensation seeking and relatively lower premeditation across the adolescent period predict HED in emerging adulthood.
Prospective data from the National Consortium on Alcohol and NeuroDevelopment in Adolescence study (n=715) were used to examine the association of sensation seeking and premeditation with HED among adolescents ages 16 to 20years. We used novel applications of latent lower premeditation in late adolescence may be a risk factor for greater HED in emerging adulthood.
Vitamin B12 and folate (methyl donors) deficiency is frequent during pregnancy. Experimental rat models with methyl donor deficit during pregnancy and lactation (Initial methyl donor deficit (iMDD)) produce impaired myocardium fatty acid oxidation and mitochondrial energy metabolism at weaning.
The consequences of iMDD on heart of rat pups under normal diet after weaning and high fat diet (HF) between day (D) 50 and D185 are investigated. iMDD/HF induces increased histological fibrosis and increased B-type natriuretic peptide blood level. Inflammation is evidenced by increased protein expression of NFkB, Caspase1, and IL1β and fibrosis by increased expression of αSMA, col1a1, and col1a2 in females, but not in males. Fibrosis is related to increased angiotensin at D50 and D185 and increased protein expression of TGFB1 and AT1 angiotensin receptors at D185. The limited fibrosis in males is consistent with increased expression of AT2, the antagonist receptor of AT1. The increased expression of GLUT4 and decreased expression of PGC1α and PPARα reflect a shift from fatty acid oxidation to glycolysis.
Developmental programming by iMDD produces cardiomyopathy in female offspring exposed to HF. The cardiomyopathy is linked to inflammation and fibrosis through angiotensin-AT2 and TGFB1 pathways and alteration of energy metabolism.

To evaluate outcome and its predictors of bioprosthetic valve fracture (BVF) in patients undergoing valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (VIV-TAVR).
BVF is feasible and reduces transvalvular gradients in VIV-TAVR-procedures, but follow-up-data and information on factors influencing the outcome are missing.
The 81 cases of BVF-VIV-TAVR were collected from 14 international centers.
Predominantly transcatheter heart valve (THV) was implanted first, followed by BVF. VARC-2 defined device success was 93%, most failures were attributed to residual high gradients. Mean gradients decreased from 37 ± 13 mmHg to 10.8 ± 5.9 mmHg (p< 0.001). Gusacitinib in vivo BVF reduced the gradient by 16 mmHg. During follow-up (FU, 281± 164 days) mean gradient remained stable (10.8± 5.9 mmHg at discharge, 12.4± 6.3 mmHg at FU, p=ns). In-hospital major adverse events occurred in 3.7%. Event-free survival at 276± 237.6 days was 95.4%. The linear mixed model identified balloon-expandable valves (BEV), Mitroflow surgical valve, stenotic surgical bioprostheses and balloon only 1 mm larger than the true internal diameter of the surgical valve as predictors for higher gradients.
BVF is safe and can significantly reduce gradients, which remain stable at FU. BEV, Mitroflow surgical valve, stenotic bioprostheses and balloon larger than the true internal diameter of the surgical valve of only 1 mm are predictors for higher final gradients.

We demonstrate that phosphorylated nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) is promising for removal of heavy metals (NiII , CuII , CrVI , HgII ) via a boosted Kirkendall effect. Phosphorylation confines tensile hoop stress on the nZVI particles and "breaks" the structurally dense spherical nZVI to produce numerous radial nanocracks. Exemplified by NiII removal, the radial nanocracks favor the facile inward diffusion of NiII and the rapid outward transport of electrons and ferrous ions through the oxide shell for surface (NiII /electron) and boundary (NiII /Fe0 ) galvanic exchange. Accompanied by a pronounced hollowing phenomenon, phosphorylated nZVI can instantly reduce and immobilize NiII throughout the oxide shell with a high capacity (258 mg Ni g-1 Fe). For real electroplating factory wastewater treatment, this novel nZVI performs simultaneous NiII and CuII removal, producing effluent of stable quality that meets local discharge regulations.Tetracyclines are a group of broad-spectrum antibiotics largely employed in infectious, dermatological and surgical fields. Some adverse events may occur during treatment, including photosensitivity reactions, which are divided in phototoxic or photoallergic. We performed a systematic search on Pubmed, Cochrane and Embase from database inception to August 9, 2020 aim to summarize all available papers on photosensitive reactions related to tetracyclines in all clinical settings where they are used on human being. On the basis of our inclusion criteria, we selected only randomized controlled trials, open comparative trials and prospective cohort studies performed on both volunteers and patients, moreover we included a pharmacovigilance register. Thirty-eight articles met inclusion criteria, describing photo-sensitive effects due to doxycycline, minocycline, tetracycline, lymecycline, sarecycline, demethylchlortetracycline, chlortetracycline and metacycline, across six diagnoses (acne, Lyme disease, Gulf Veteran Illness, adbominal aortic aneurysms, traveler's diarrhea and pterygium) and several volunteers who were deliberately exposed to natural or artificial light sources.
