In this article, we investigate the encapsulation of K[Ni(maleonitriledithiolate)] () within a host molecule, β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), via single-crystal X-ray analysis. An inclusion complex, K{[Ni(maleonitriledithiolate)]@(β-CD)} (), was constructed from and two β-CDs. The anion guest Ni complex included a host cavity, constructed using two β-CDs, and the Ni atom of the anion was located between the two hydrophilic primary rims.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to determine how the CALLY index impacts patients with gastric cancer who have undergone gastrectomy, using data from 617 patients treated between 2014 and 2020 at Osaka City General Hospital.
  • Researchers calculated the CALLY index using a specific formula and compared it to other biomarkers to assess its predictive value for patient outcomes.
  • Results indicated that the CALLY index had the highest predictive value for overall survival and cancer-specific survival rates, making it a significant indicator for major complications in these patients.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigated the relationship between the high frequency variability index (HFVI)/analgesia nociception index (ANI) and postoperative pain in patients undergoing video/robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery with nerve blocks under general anesthesia.
  • - Researchers looked at various measurements of HFVI/ANI and whether they could predict maximum postoperative pain levels and morphine usage, analyzing data from 48 patients.
  • - The findings indicated no significant correlation between HFVI/ANI and postoperative pain ratings or morphine consumption, suggesting that predicting postoperative pain in these cases using HFVI/ANI is challenging.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated how the size of circular staplers affects complications like leakage and stricture during double-stapling technique anastomosis in colon or rectal cancer surgeries.
  • A total of 403 patients participated, using either small (25 mm) or medium-sized (28/29 mm) circular staplers.
  • Results showed no significant difference in complications between the two groups, indicating stapler size doesn't impact leakage or stricture rates.
