Article Synopsis
  • Organometallic complexes of ruthenium, specifically those featuring bidentate polypyridyl ligands and -cymene, are being investigated as potential cancer treatments, focusing on their cytotoxic properties.
  • A series of new ruthenium(II)-arene complexes with modified quinoline ligands were synthesized to explore their effects on the ruthenium -cymene complexes' activity.
  • Initial in vitro tests on human kidney (HEK293T) and cervical cancer (HeLa) cells using the MTT assay revealed poor anticancer activity for the new complexes, with the ligand precursor pqhyme showing significantly higher cytotoxicity compared to the traditional chemotherapy drug cisplatin.

PM samples were collected during 2017-2018 at two Eastern Mediterranean urban sites in Greece, Athens and Patra, in order to study the abundances, the seasonal trends, the sources and the possible impact of gas phase pollutants on organosulfate formation. Each of the studied groups, except that of aromatic organosulfates, presented higher concentrations in Patra compared to those measured in Athens, from 1.1 (nitro-oxy organosulfates) to 3.

Renal artery aneurysm with concomitant presence of arteriovenous fistula is an extremely rare entity. Few reports have been described in the literature. Nowadays, endovascular repair with covered stents or transarterial embolization with coils or glue has become the first line of treatment.
