Malignant Giant Cell Tumor of Soft Tissue: A Case Report of Intramuscular Malignant Giant Cell Carcinoma of the Tensor Fasciae Latae.

Introduction: Giant cell tumor of soft tissue (GCT-ST)is a low-grade ST tumor that occurs most frequently below the skin and sometimes, extending deeper into the tissues. The tumor is usually hard, painless and considered rare in ST.

Case Report: We report a rare case of a middle-aged woman that presented with a tumor arising from the right tensor fasciae latae muscle.

A new colorimetric and fluorescent probe with a large stokes shift for rapid and specific detection of biothiols and its application in living cells.

In this work, a new reversible colorimetric and fluorescent probe for sequential recognition of copper ions and biothiols is synthesized easily. Based on the chelation-enhanced fluorescence quenching (CHEQ) effect, this probe shows high sensitivity and selectivity towards Cu, which can be detected by the naked eye. And this experimental phenomenon can also be realised upon addition of biothiols, restoring their initial fluorescence intensity.

Extra-articular tenosynovial chondromatosis of the left ring finger in a 23-year-old man: A case report and literature review.

Tenosynovial chondromatosis is an extra-articular version of articular synovial chondromatosis and a relatively rare condition that can affect the tendon sheath, bursa, or joint synovial tissue. Tenosynovial chondromatosis is rarely reported in the literature and is often misdiagnosed. In the present study, a case of extra-articular tenosynovial chondromatosis of the left ring finger in a 23-year-old man is reported.

Ab initio calculations on halogen-bonded complexes and comparison with density functional methods.

A systematic theoretical investigation on a series of dimeric complexes formed between some halocarbon molecules and electron donors has been carried out by employing both ab initio and density functional methods. Full geometry optimizations are performed at the Moller-Plesset second-order perturbation (MP2) level of theory with the Dunning's correlation-consistent basis set, aug-cc-pVDZ. Binding energies are extrapolated to the complete basis set (CBS) limit by means of two most commonly used extrapolation methods and the aug-cc-pVXZ (X = D, T, Q) basis sets series.

Ab initio investigation of the complexes between bromobenzene and several electron donors: some insights into the magnitude and nature of halogen bonding interactions.

Halogen bonding, a specific intermolecular noncovalent interaction, plays crucial roles in fields as diverse as molecular recognition, crystal engineering, and biological systems. This paper presents an ab initio investigation of a series of dimeric complexes formed between bromobenzene and several electron donors. Such small model systems are selected to mimic halogen bonding interactions found within crystal structures as well as within biological molecules.

Proton exchanges between phenols and ammonia or amines: a computational study.

Density functional theory calculations at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory have been performed to explore proton exchanges between phenols and ammonia or amines, which can be used to account for previous NMR experiments. For the parent phenol-NH(3) system, a transition state with a symmetric phenolate-NH(4)(+)-like structure, which lies about 35 kcal mol(-1) in energy above the hydrogen-bonded complex, has been successfully located. An intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) analysis indicates that the proton exchange is a concerted process, which can be roughly divided into four continuous subprocesses.
