Temporal proteomic changes induced by nicotine in human cells: A quantitative proteomics approach
J Proteomics. 2021 Apr 22:104244. doi: 10.1016/j.jprot.2021.104244. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNicotine is a prominent active compound in tobacco and many smoking cessation products. Some of the biological effects of nicotine are well documented in in vitro and in vivo systems; however, nominal data are available concerning the time-dependent changes on protein and phosphorylation events in response to nicotine. Here, we profiled the proteomes of SH-SY5Y and A549 cell lines subjected to acute (15 min, 1 h and 4 h) or chronic (24 h, 48 h) nicotine exposures. We used sample multiplexing (TMTpro16) and quantified more than...

COVID-19 Associated Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome Successfully Treated with Nimodipine and Aspirin
A 31-year-old sexually active, non-smoker female with a past medical history of spina-bifida and idiopathic thoracolumbar scoliosis status post hardware spinal fusion surgery five years ago presented with a one-day history of severe holocranial headaches associated with nausea and visual changes. A thorough neurological examination was intact. She complained of mild cough as well. She had a positive nasopharyngeal swab for SARS-CoV-2 on RT-PCR assay. A comprehensive drug screen including amphetamines, cocaine, nicotine, alcohol, and ecstasy as well as a pregnancy test were negative; coagulation profile was within normal limits.
