Published: October 2008

The characterization of the non covalent interaction potential, responsible for the intermolecular bond in NO-N(2) and (NO-N(2))(+) molecular aggregates, has been achieved by coupling the predictions of a semiempirical method with the results of a scattering experiment and ab initio calculations. The potential wells for the most stable configurations of the neutral and ionic state, having approximatively a T shape in both cases, fall in the same intermolecular distance range. In addition, in the ionic state, the charge is completely localized on the NO partner. Important implications on the dynamics of the neutralization process, occurring as a vertical transition from ionic to neutral state, are obtained by exploiting the analytical formulation of the interaction and calculating energy spacings and relevant Franck-Condon factors for both intramolecular and intermolecular vibration modes.

Background: The current standard for the surgical management of lung cancer involves anatomic lung resection combined with systemic lymph node dissection/sampling. The purpose of this study was to investigate the patterns of pathological lymph nodes in invasive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), explore the occurrence in lymph node metastasis (LNM), and provide recommendations for optimal lymph node resection/sampling in lung cancer operation.

Methods: There were 1,678 patients with NSCLC who underwent lobectomy between 2018 and 2021 at the Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province were reviewed retrospectively.

1-Alkyl indazoles are a ubiquitous and privileged motif within medicinal chemistry, yet methods to selectively furnish 1-alkyl indazoles with simple alkyl side chains remain sparse. Herein, negative data from high-throughput experimentation (HTE) enabled a confident pivot of resource from continued optimisation to the development of an alternative reaction. This workflow culminated in a methodology for the synthesis of 1-alkyl indazoles.

Pro-inflammatory markers associated with COVID-19-related persistent olfactory dysfunction.

Introduction: While localized inflammation has been implicated in the pathophysiology of acute coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) olfactory dysfunction (OD), persistent COVID-19 OD remains poorly understood with limited therapeutics. Our prospective study evaluated olfactory cleft (OC) biomarkers as predictors of persistent OD in mucus sampling.

Methods: COVID-19 subjects with persistent OD >3 months confirmed by psychophysical olfaction tests were compared to COVID-19 subjects with no OD and those with no prior infection.

Methods for the synthesis of urethane acrylates used as new crosslinking agents for hydrophobic UV-curable powder clear coatings were developed. In the synthesis of urethane acrylates, isophorone diisocyanate, glycerin, xylitol, polyethylene glycol and polysiloxane KF-6000, as well as 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate or 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, were used. In order to increase the functionality of urethane acrylates, glycerin and xylitol derived from renewable sources were introduced.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate lymph node involvement pattern in clinical stage IA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Patients And Methods: Clinical stage ⅠA NSCLC patients who underwent lobectomy and lymph node resection were included in this retrospective study. Mediastinal lymph node involvement was distinguished by different lobes and tumor size.
