Complications of ultrasound-guided thermal ablation of thyroid nodules and associated risk factors: an experience from 9667 cases.

Objectives: To evaluate the safety of ultrasound-guided thermal ablation (UGTA) for thyroid nodules (TNs) by analysing complications and related risks.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective, single-centre study reviewed patients who underwent UGTA (microwave or radiofrequency ablation) between January 2018 and March 2023. The incidence of complications was recorded and assessed during and immediately after ablation,1-3 h later, and at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months.

Core-Shell Structured Carbon@AlO Membrane with Enhanced Acid Resistance for Acid Solution Treatment.

Ceramic membrane has an important application prospect in industrial acid solution treatment. Enhancement of the acid resistance is the key strategy to optimize the membrane treatment effect. This work reports a core-shell structured membrane fabricated on alumina ceramic substrates via a one-step in situ hydrothermal method.

Reductive Halogenation Reactions: Selective Synthesis of Unsymmetrical α-Haloketones.

A method for the selective synthesis of unsymmetrical α-haloketones has been developed. The key transformation is a triphenylphosphine oxide catalyzed reductive halogenation of an α,β-unsaturated ketone in which trichlorosilane is the reducing reagent and an -halosuccinimide is the electrophilic halogen source. This method allows for a halogen atom to be installed selectively at either of two very similarly substituted sites adjacent to a ketone group.

Ag-Mediated Radical Cyclization of 2-Alkynylthio(seleno)anisoles: Direct Synthesis of 3-Phosphinoylbenzothio(seleno)phenes.

A new method for the direct synthesis of 3-phosphinoylbenzothio(seleno)phenes has been achieved through an Ag-mediated radical addition-cyclization of 2-alkynylthio(seleno)anisoles with secondary phosphine oxides in good yields under mild conditions. In this single reaction, benzenethiophene or benzeneselenophene skeleton, C(sp)-P and C(sp)-S bonds can be constructed with the cleavage of the C(sp)-S bond, highlighting the efficiency and step-economics of this protocol.

A flexible 1,8-naphthyridyl derivative and its Zn(II) complexes: synthesis, structures, spectroscopic properties and recognition of Cd(II).

A flexible ligand bis(7-methyl-1,8-naphthyridine-2-ylamino)methane (), having kappa(4)-chelating and kappa(2)-bridging modes, and its intriguing structural complexes of Zn(II) with mu-OH, kappa(1)-OAc, mu-kappa(1)-OAc and mu-kappa(2)-OAc ligands, [Zn(2)()(2)(OH)](ClO(4))(3) (), [Zn(4)()(2)(OAc)(6)(OH)(2)].CH(2)Cl(2) (.CH(2)Cl(2)) and [Zn(5)()(2)(OAc)(10)](n).
