Ten 4'- (R-phenyl) -2,2': 6', 2' - terpyridine ligands (R = hydrogen (L1), hydroxyl (L2), methoxyl (L3), methylsulfonyl (L4), methyl (L5), phenyl (L6), fluoro (L7), chloro (L8), bromo (L9), and iodo (L10)) were synthesized. The reaction of these ligands with copper(II) nitrate led to complexes 1-10. The characterization of 1-10 was carried out by means of mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy and X-ray single crystal diffraction.

With the aim of developing potential anticancer drug candidates, a series of Fe(II) complexes were synthesized using nine 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine ligands functionalized with substituted-phenyl groups, and their biological activities were systematically investigated. Their bis-terpyridine sandwich-like structures were determined by single crystal X-ray crystallography. antiproliferative experiments based on three human cancer cell lines, including human hepatoma cancer cell line (Bel-7402), human esophageal cancer cell line (Eca-109), and human cervical squamous cancer cell line (SiHa), indicate the high antiproliferation activities of these complexes compared with commercial cisplatin.

Ten new palladium(II) complexes [PdCl(L)]Cl have been synthesized by the reaction of palladium(II) chloride and ten 4'-(substituted-phenyl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine ligands bearing hydrogen(L), p-hydroxyl(L), m-hydroxyl (L), o-hydroxyl (L), methyl (L), phenyl (L), fluoro (L), chloro (L), bromo (L), or iodo (L). Their structures were confirmed by FT-IR, H NMR, elemental analysis and/or single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Their in vitro anticancer activities were investigated based on five cell lines, including four cancer cell lines (A549, Eca-109, Bel-7402, MCF-7) and one normal cell line (HL-7702).

Aim: To examine the body image and hopelessness status of early-stage breast cancer survivors who received a one-time dressing change after surgery and were ready to be discharged from a hospital in China.

Design: A cross-sectional study.

Methods: Participants were 211 women with breast cancer who had received a one-time dressing change postsurgery.
