Abstract
In this account, we summarize recent work on the direct introduction of the SCF3 group by using [(bpy)CuSCF3] as trifluoromethylthiolating reagent. A number of efficient and convenient strategies have been disclosed for the synthesis of trifluoromethylthiolated compounds, including trifluoromethylthiolation of aryl, alkenyl, and alkyl halides, and arylboronic acids. These reactions afford various trifluoromethyl sulfides in good yields.1 Introduction2 Synthesis of [(bpy)CuSCF3]3 Trifluoromethylthiolation of Aryl Halides4 Trifluoromethylthiolation of Alkenyl Halides5 Trifluoromethylthiolation of Alkyl Halides6 Miscellaneous7 Conclusion

Abstract
2-Trifluoromethylated furans and dihydrofuranols were tunably synthesized from the cyclization of β-ketonitriles with 3-bromo-1,1,1-trifluoroacetone mediated by bases. In addition, dehydration of dihydrofuranol compounds with concentrated sulfuric acid gave another 2-(trifluoromethyl)furans isomer. The developed methodology exhibits an excellent functional group tolerance for both aromatic and aliphatic β-ketonitriles.

Abstract
In this paper, a method is presented to detect the different phases of epoxy cross-linking process and the subsurface structures of SU-8 thin films by atomic force acoustic microscopy (AFAM). The AFAM imaging of SU-8 thin films was investigated under different exposure and bake conditions. Optimized conditions were obtained for the cross-linking of SU-8 thin film at the exposure does of eight laser pulses with the laser fluence 10 mJ cm-2 per pulse and the post exposure bake (PEB) time at 90 s. The subsurface structures of undeveloped SU-8 thin films were visible in the AFAM images. This method provides an effective and low-cost way for the determination of different phases of epoxy cross-linking process in nanostructured compounds, for the non-destructive testing of subsurface defects, and for the evaluation of the quality of patterned structures.

A double nucleophilic addition-cyclization-elimination cascade is developed, that allows various 2,6-diaryl-4-perfluoroalkylpyridines to be synthesized in one step from easily available enamides and perfluorocarboxylic anhydrides. The procedure is also operationally simple and scalable and provides access to the facial construction of 4-fluoroalkylpyridines, which are of great interest in medicinal chemistry.

Abstract
An efficient method for the synthesis of structurally diverse 4-aryl-3-(tri/difluoromethyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5(4H)-ones through the cyclization of hydrazinecarboxamides with tri/difluoroacetic anhydride is presented. The method is simple and environmentally benign, providing tri/difluoromethylated 1,2,4-triazol-5(4H)-ones in moderate-to-good yields. A mechanism is proposed to proceed via a tandem reaction of tri/difluoroacetylation, nucleophilic addition and water elimination. Some of these compounds exhibit promising insecticidal activities.

Abstract
A simple and efficient protocol for the copper-catalyzed synthesis of aryl or alkyl 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl selenoethers has been developed. This reaction proceeded smoothly in the presence of CuI/phen as the catalyst, with elemental selenium, 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-iodoethane, and NaBH4 as reagents in DMF with a broad scope of functionalized (hetero)aryl or alkyl halides. Different functional groups were tolerated and moderate to excellent yields of 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl selenoethers were obtained. Some of the synthesized compounds exhibited promising insecticidal activities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A recent genome-wide association study has identified that rs4376531 variant conferred risk of atherothrombotic stroke (AS) in a Japanese population. This study was to explore the association in Han Chinese population. METHODS A total of 1036 cases and 643 healthy controls were enrolled. We genotyped rs4376531 variant with SNPscan. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the association of genetic variation with risk of AS. Interaction analysis was examined by SNPStats web tool. RESULTS After adjusting for gender, age, body mass index (BMI), hypertension, diabetes and smoking, compared with CC genotype, we observed that GC and GG/GC genotypes were associated with a significantly decreased risk of AS (OR = 0.76, 95% CI = 0.58-0.99 and OR = 0.76, 95% CI = 0.58-0.98, respectively). The decreased risk was more obvious among subgroups with high BMI (OR = 0.63, 95% CI = 0.45-0.88), no hypertension (OR = 0.66, 95% CI = 0.46-0.94), diabetes (OR = 0.33, 95% CI = 0.17-0.64), and smoking (OR = 0.65, 95% CI = 0.44-0.95) in the dominant model (GG/GC vs CC). Interaction analysis also revealed that compared with non-diabetic patients with CC genotype, diabetic patients with CC genotype had a 4.48-fold (OR = 4.48; 95% CI = 2.98-6.72) increased risk of AS. CONCLUSION Our data suggested that GC and GG/GC of rs4376531 contributed to a decreased risk of AS while CC genotype, interacting with diabetes, increased the stroke risk in Han Chinese population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Genome-wide association studies discovered a novel correlation between chromosome 12q24 and ischemic stroke in European populations. This study aimed to determine whether two genetic variants (rs10744777 and rs886205) on chromosome 12q24 can modify the risk of ischemic stroke in Chinese population. METHODS We recruited 1195 patients with ischemic stroke and 642 healthy Chinese individuals. The rs10744777 and rs886205 polymorphisms in aldehyde dehydrogenase2 (ALDH2) was genotyped and compared using multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS The genotype of rs10744777 (CT/TT) was associated with risk of ischemic stroke in males (OR = 1.99, 95% CI = 1.15-3.42, P = 0.013). In contrast, no significant correlation was found in females. Haplotype analysis indicated that haplotype "TA" was associated with increased ischemic stroke risk (OR = 1.85, 95% CI = 1.10-3.12, P = 0.042). Further subtype analysis demonstrated that the rs10744777 (CT/TT) genotype was strongly associated with large artery atherosclerosis subtype in males (OR = 2.27, 95% CI = 1.30-3.95, P = 0.004). After three months follow-up, we found a poorer functional outcome of ischemic stroke associated with the rs886205 GA genotype (OR = 1.76, 95% CI 1.03-3.00, P = 0.057) in males. CONCLUSIONS Genetic polymorphisms in ALDH2 modified ischemic stroke risk and outcome in Chinese males, but not in females.

Abstract
T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 3 (Tim-3) is a critical regulatory molecule found on activated Th1 cells, exhausted CD8+ T cells, and resting monocytes/macrophages. Galectin-9 (Gal-9) is an identified ligand for Tim-3. Interaction between Tim-3 and Gal-9 is thought to inhibit Th1 responses. The regulation and function of Tim-3 and Gal-9 in osteoarthritis (OA) have not been intensively investigated. We found that in peripheral blood, CD4+ T cells, but not CD8+ T cells or CD14+ monocytes, from OA patients presented significantly elevated Tim-3 and Gal-9 expression compared to those from healthy controls (HC). The CD4+ T cells from OA did not present altered Th1, Th2, and Th17 composition in the peripheral blood, but secreted less Th1 cytokine interleukin 2 (IL-2) and interferon gamma (IFN-γ) after activation. Further investigation demonstrated that Gal-9 induced high levels of apoptosis in activated CD4+ T cells from OA patients. Inhibition of Gal-9 resulted in significantly higher IL-2 and IFN-γ expression that was directly correlated with the number of non-apoptotic cells. In the synovial fluid, both secreted Gal-9 and surface Gal-9 levels were significantly higher in less-severe grade 2 OA patients than in more-severe grade 4 OA patients. Surface Tim-3 was also higher in synovial fluid CD8+ T cells and CD14+ monocytes from grade 2 OA patients and lower in grade 4 OA patients. Together, these results suggested that Tim-3 and Gal-9 could downregulate T cell inflammation in OA, and could be utilized as a novel therapeutic strategy.
