Genomic variants associated with primary biliary cirrhosis
Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is an autoimmune hepatobiliary disease characterized by immune-mediated injury of small and medium-sized bile ducts, eventually leading to liver cirrhosis. Several studies have addressed PBC immunopathology, and the data support an immune activation leading to autoantibodies and autoreactive T cells acting against the lipoylated 2-oxoacid dehydrogenase complexes. The causes of the disease remain unknown, but environmental factors and genetic susceptibility both contribute to its onset. Over the past two decades several association studies have addressed the role of genetic polymorphisms in PBC pathogenesis and have reported multiple associations. However, only a few studies had sufficient statistical power, and in most cases results were not independently validated. A genome-wide association study has recently been reported, but this too awaits independent confirmation. The aim of this present work is to critically review the numerous studies dedicated to revealing genetic associations in PBC, and to predict the potential for future studies based on these data
The effect of creatine and/or caffeine ingestion on repeated bouts of high-intensity exercise performance /by Zoltan Andre Torok.
The purpose of this study was to determine what effect caffeine, creatine, or the combination of treatment would have on multiple bouts of high intensity exercise performance. Some research has shown caffeine and creatine to ellict an ergogenic effect on repeated bouts of high-intensity performance, but new research investigating the combination has been done. Subjects were asked to undergo 4 separate treatments (placebo, caffeine only, creatine only, creatine + caffeine) for 9 days and then participate in 2 different experimental conditions; 6 x 6 second Wingate, 6 x 50-meter Track sprints. To determine statistical significance a repeated measure was preformed comparing treatments to sprint, a paired sample t-test was performed to determine during which sprint it had occurred. The primary findings of the study were creatine loading plus acute caffeine ingestion improved peak power and mean power in the 1st and 2nd 6 second Wingate. The ingestion of caffeine only improved 50 m sprint time during the 4th, 5th, and 6th trial over placebo. This is the first study to definitively show that the ergogenic effect of caffeine and/or creatine might be specific to the type of activity performed and the environment in which the supplement is used
First access to the spin-labelled beta-amino acid POAC in an enantiopure state by resolution through its binaphthyl esters
Resolution of trans 3-(9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonylamino)-1-oxyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidine-4-carboxylic acid (Fmoc-POAC-OH) was quickly achieved upon esterification with (aR)-1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diol, chromatographic separation of the obtained diastereomers, and facile saponification of the aryl ester function with removal of the chiral auxiliary
