Furthermore, functional experiments elucidated that MAGI2-AS3 overexpression suppressed CRC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion capacities, arrested cell cycle at G0/G1 phase, and promoted cell apoptosis. Conclusion Taken together, our study demonstrated that the potential function of MAGI2-AS3 as a tumor suppressor for CRC, and the MAGI2-AS3 rs7783388 polymorphism is associated with the increased susceptibility to CRC by altering the binding ability of GR to the MAGI2-AS3 promoter.Rationale Fluorinated derivatization agents allow for the identification and quantification of emerging pollutants with high sensitivity, yet details of their potential applications using electron ionization are lacking. The fluorine atom itself does not effectively participate in electron ionization. Furthermore, limited information exists regarding the effect of fluorine during electron ionization induced fragmentation. To fill this gap, this report presents the fragmentation pathways of the fluorinated derivatives of ten bisphenol analogues as exemplary emerging pollutants. Methods The bisphenols were derivatized by the acetylation reagent - trifluoroacetic anhydride, and a new silylation reagent - dimethyl(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)silyldiethylamine (DIMETRIS, previously applied for the analysis of selected pharmaceuticals in environmental samples), and analyzed by GC/MS (EI, 70 eV). Deuterated bisphenol A was added to the group of analytes to confirm the proposed fragmentation pathways. Results The specific chemical structure of bisphenols gives the possibility of several resonance hybrids of C-centered radicals. This, in turn, results in several fragmentation pathways, unique for each resonance hybrid. Sequential losses of radicals and neutral fragments were observed in both type of derivative, with final stable carbenium ions. McLafferty-type rearrangements were observed between the native structure of the analytes and the introduced substituents. The gamma-shift of F onto Si in the Si (CH2 )2 CF3 substituent is proposed to explain the loss of the fragment with a mass of 78 u. Conclusions Both types of derivatization reagent used were found to be applicable, although the use of DIMETRIS was limited for high-mass bisphenols. The introduction of fluorine by derivatization brings benefits for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of bisphenol-type compounds by GC/MS because of the presence of characteristic ions on the mass spectra.SARS-CoV-2, the cause of the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted cardiovascular healthcare. Patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease are at higher risk of morbidity and mortality. The virus may affect the heart directly and indirectly with clinical syndromes of acute myocardial injury, myocarditis, acute coronary syndromes, heart failure, arrhythmias, and venous thromboembolism. Some therapeutics under investigation for COVID-19 may also have adverse cardiac effects. The involvement of the RAAS system in viral entry makes it pertinent to consider the effects of medications that modulate the system. Comprehensive knowledge of peculiar cardiovascular manifestations of COVID-19 and the role of RAAS in the prognosis of COVID-19 disease is needed for optimal patient management.Pharmacy transitions-of-care services at the time of hospital discharge are helpful in reducing medication errors. Validated risk tools are commonly used by pharmacists to identify patients at greatest benefit of these services. However, current tools lack assessment of medication-related risk factors and predict hospital readmissions rather than medication errors. To address this, a novel medication-focused risk tool (UCSD-Rx risk score) was created to help classify patients at a higher risk for medication errors. This study was split into 2 phases aimed to internally validate the risk score. Phase I of the study compared the predictability of 30-day unplanned readmissions between the UCSD-Rx risk score and a well-validat
