Novel subtype of obesity influencing the outcomes of sleeve gastrectomy: Familial aggregation of obesity
CONCLUSION: FAO patients is associated with decreased mid-to-long-term weight loss outcomes; the alleviation of T2DM, hyperlipidemia and NAFLD; and decreased incidence of acid reflux postoperatively.PMID:38659480 | PMC:PMC11036498 | DOI:10.3748/wjg.v30.i13.1887 (Source: World Journal of Gastroenterology : WJG)

Anxiety connects social media use to food and alcohol disturbance and disordered eating when social support is low
Eat Behav. 2024 Apr 18;53:101879. doi: 10.1016/j.eatbeh.2024.101879. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFood and alcohol disturbance (FAD) is an understudied form of disordered eating, in which the consumption of calories is restricted in preparation for drinking alcohol. Guided by previous literature, the present study examined the direct, indirect, and interactive relationships between social media use, anxiety, social support, FAD, and disordered eating among young adults. Recruited from a large southwestern public university, the sample included 679 undergraduate students who completed an online survey in spring of 2022 and...

Environmental Suppression Mediates the Relationship between Posttraumatic Stress and Cannabis Use Among Trauma-Exposed College Students
CONCLUSIONS: Results support the utility of the RPI-ES scale as a transdiagnostic risk factor for both PTS and cannabis use and suggest further investigation into treatment approaches that optimize opportunities for (non-substance) rewarding experiences in the treatment of co-occurring PTS and substance misuse.PMID:38662506 | DOI:10.15288/jsad.23-00344 (Source: Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs)

Sweet taste preference as a moderator of links between internalizing symptoms and alcohol craving
CONCLUSIONS: For those low and moderate in sweet taste preference, internalizing symptoms appeared positively linked with alcohol craving. For those high in sweet taste preference, alcohol craving remained elevated regardless of anxiety symptoms, but appeared to decrease with heightened depressive symptoms. Should future research replicate this finding using controlled research designs that demonstrate temporality and causality, tailored early AUD interventions may be justified based on individuals' levels of sweet taste preference.PMID:38662513 | DOI:10.15288/jsad.23-00107 (Source: Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs)

A sensitive immunosensor via Pd@Au 0.85 Pd 0.15 in situ electrocatalysis generating H 2 O 2 for quenching electrochemiluminescence of Ir(pbi) 2 (acac)@Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene-PVA
Talanta. 2024 Apr 24;275:126125. doi: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126125. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe establishment of rapid target analysis methods for cytokeratin fragment antigen 21-1 (CYFRA 21-1) is urgently needed. [Ir(pbi)2(acac)] (pbi = 2-(4-bromophenyl)-1-hydrogen -benzimidazole, acac = acetylacetonate) as traditional electrochemiluminescence (ECL) luminophores has been confined due to its non-negligible dark toxicity and poor water solubility leading to poor biocompatibility and electrical conductivity as an organic molecule. Hence, to overcome this limitation, [Ir(pbi)2(acac)] can be effectively loaded on the po...

Cannabis Use Characteristics Associated with Self-Reported Cognitive Function in a Nationally Representative U.S. sample
CONCLUSION: While prospective studies are required to confirm, findings suggest cannabis use is linked to worse cognition. There may be some limited recovery of cognition in former users and some cannabis use characteristics predict impairment. These findings add to our understanding of the cognitive impact of cannabis use. As worse cognitive function may impact relapse, findings have implications for personalization of cannabis use disorder treatment.PMID:38664196 | DOI:10.1080/10826084.2024.2340975 (Source: Substance Use and Misuse)

Supramolecularly modulated carbon-centered radicals: toward selective oxidation from benzyl alcohol to aldehyde
Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 Apr 25. doi: 10.1039/d4cc01240b. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe reactivity of ketyl radicals and benzoyl radicals, two key intermediates of photo-induced oxidation of benzyl alcohol, can be stabilized by the host-guest interaction of the radicals with cucurbit[7]uril. As a result, the selectivity of photo-induced oxidation from benzyl alcohol to aldehyde is significantly improved by diminishing side reactions and inhibiting the generation of carboxylic acid products. This work presents a new route to modulate the reactivity of radical intermediates, enriching the chemistry of supramolecular inte...

A short-term rodent model for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis induced by a high-fat diet and carbon tetrachloride
This study aimed to evaluate the joint action of a high-fat diet and CCl4 in developing a short-term non-alcoholic steatohepatitis model. C57BL6/J mice were divided into two groups: standard diet-fed (SD), the high-fat diet-fed (HFD) and HFD + fructose-fed and carbon tetrachloride (HFD+CCl4). Animals fed with HFD+CCl4 presented increased lipid deposition compared with both SD and HFD mice. Plasma cholesterol was increased in animals from the HFD+CCl4 group compared to the SD and HFD groups, without significant differences between the SD and HFD groups. Plasma triglycerides showed no significant difference between the group...

Aggregation Inducing Reversible Conformational Isomerization of Surface Staple in Au18SR14 Nanoclusters
Adding alcohol or lowering the pH of the aqueous solution causes the aggregation of Au18SR14, which promotes the reversible change in the folding mode of the unique Au4SR5 staple. This conformational isomerization results in a shift in the solution color between green and orange-red, as well as a transformation in the single and dual emissions. AbstractThe conformation of molecules and materials is crucial in determining their properties and applications. Here, this work explores the reversible transformation between two distinct conformational isomers in metal nanoclusters. This work demonstrates the successful manipulati...

Coffee, Alcohol, and Artificial Sweeteners Have Temporal Associations with Gastrointestinal Symptoms
ConclusionsCoffee, alcohol, and artificial sweeteners were associated with GI symptoms in this large IBS-predominant sample. Symptom onset is often within 2 h postprandial, but some foods were associated with a delayed response, possibly an important consideration in implementing dietary recommendations. Clinical trials must test the causality of the demonstrated food–symptom associations. (Source: Digestive Diseases and Sciences)
