Asymptomatic adult Wilms' tumor: A case report.

Wilms' tumor, also called nephroblastoma, is an extremely uncommon kidney tumor of adulthood. We reported a adult man with a left kidney mass diagnosed as Wilms' tumor. Case presentation: A 25-year-old man was hospitalized due to injury of the anterior cruciate ligament of the right knee.

Dietary patterns and chronic kidney disease risk: a systematic review and updated meta-analysis of observational studies.

Background: A number of studies have reported the association between dietary patterns and the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD), however a consistent perspective hasn't been established to date. Herein, we conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies to assess the association between dietary patterns and CKD.

Methods: MEDLINE, EBSCO and references from eligible studies were searched for relevant articles published up to 9 May 2020 that examined the association of common dietary patterns and CKD.

Activated-PAK4 predicts worse prognosis in breast cancer and promotes tumorigenesis through activation of PI3K/AKT signaling.

The p21-activated kinase 4 (PAK4) is sufficient to transform noncancerous mammary epithelial cells and to form tumors in the mammary glands of mice. The accumulated information suggests that PAK4 might be an oncogenic protein in breast cancer. In this study, we sought to identify the role for PAK4 in breast cancer progression.

The expression of cytoglobin as a prognostic factor in gliomas: a retrospective analysis of 88 patients.

Background: Evidence suggests that cytoglobin (Cygb) may function as a tumor suppressor gene.

Methods: We immunohistochemically evaluated the expression of Cygb, phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI-3K), phosphorylated (p)-Akt, Interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in 88 patients with 41 high-grade gliomas and 47 low-grade gliomas. Intratumoral microvessel density (IMD) was also determined and associated with clinicopathological factors.

Methyl (R)-2-(2-chloro-phen-yl)-2-(3-nitro-phenyl-sulfon-yloxy)acetate.

The reaction between methyl (R)-2-(2-chloro-phen-yl)-2-hy-droxy-acetate and 3-nitro-benzene-sulfonyl chloride gave the title compound, C(15)H(12)ClNO(7)S, which is a promising inter-mediate for the synthesis of Clopidrogel, an anti-platelet drug used in the prevention of strokes and heart attacks. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked through C-H⋯O interactions, and there is also a short Cl⋯O contact present [Cl⋯O = 3.018 (2) Å].

Bis[4-(2-hydr-oxy-3-methoxy-benzyl-ideneamino)phen-yl] ether.

The title compound, C(28)H(24)N(2)O(5), a flexible Schiff base ligand, was prepared in high yield by a Schiff base condensation of 3-methoxy-salicylaldehyde and bis-(4-amino-phen-yl) ether in methanol. The mol-ecule lies on a twofold rotation axis, and each half exhibits an imine E configuration and an O-H⋯N hydrogen bond. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings attached to the central O atom is 69.

Copper(II)-mediated resolution of alpha-halo carboxylic acids with chiral O,O'-dibenzoyltartaric acid: spontaneous racemization and crystallization-induced dynamic resolution.

Herein we present a new example of coordination-mediated resolution of racemic acids by a chiral acid. The reaction of copper(II) acetate monohydrate, optically pure O,O'-dibenzoyltartaric acid (DBTA) and racemic alpha-bromo-2-chlorophenylacetic acid (HL1) in acetonitrile solution afforded a binuclear copper(II) complex with D-DBTA dianion, alpha-bromo-2-chlorophenylacetate and acetate as ligands. After decomposition of the complex with acid, the optically active acid ((R)-HL1) was obtained.

Self-assembly luminescent heteroheptanuclear complexes with metal diphosphine and metal thiolate as components.

Self-assembly between the building blocks [M2(mu-dppm)2(MeCN)2]2+ (M = Cu or Ag; dppm = bis(diphenylphosphino)methane) and M'(aet)2 (aet = 2-aminoethanethiolate) afforded luminescent heterohepta-nuclear complexes [Cu4M'3(mu-dppm)3(mu 3-aet)4(mu-aet)2]4+ (M' = Ni 1; Pd 2) or heterotrinuclear complexes [Ag2M'(mu-dppm)2(mu-aet)2]2+ (M' = Ni 3, Pd 4).
