The novel Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes of first and second generation poly(propylene amine) dendrimers (PPA), comprising 1,8-naphthalimde units on periphery have been synthesized. These new complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, spectral methods (IR, (1)H NMR and UV-vis spectra) and thermal analysis (TG and DTG) techniques. From elemental analysis as well as thermal studies it has found that the first generation dendrimer behaves as bidentate ligand and forming chelates with 1:2 (ligand:metal) and 1:4 (ligand:metal) stoichiometry for second generation dendrimer. Different kinetic parameters namely activation energy (DeltaE*), enthalpy of activation (DeltaH*), entropy of activation (DeltaS*) and free energy change of activation (DeltaG*) are calculated using Coats-Redfern equation. The antibacterial activity of dendrimers and their complexes was evaluated against some Gram positive and negative bacteria.

Purpose: Synchronous esophageal (EC) and rectal carcinoma (RC) is a rare and challenging condition, particularly in curative-intended treatment. Especially locally advanced tumors may not be suitable for primary resection and require individual multimodal treatment. This review examines curative-intended management of synchronous EC and RC.

In-stent restenosis (ISR) following interventional therapy is a fatal clinical complication. Current evidence indicates that neointimal hyperplasia driven by uncontrolled proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) is a major cause of restenosis. This implies that inhibiting VSMC proliferation may be an attractive approach for preventing in-stent restenosis.

Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) ranks as the second most common disease among men and the fourth most prevalent cancer worldwide. Enhanced glycolysis and excessive lactate secretion are recognized as critical factors driving the progression of various cancers. This study systematically investigated the research trends associated with glycolysis in PCa through bibliometric analysis.

Laparoscopic exploration of the common bile duct (CBD) has emerged as a predominant method in hepatobiliary surgery owing to its minimally invasive nature and favorable outcomes compared to traditional open surgery. Suturing the CBD during laparoscopic procedures is critical for ensuring proper bile drainage and reducing postoperative complications. This retrospective study enrolled patients who underwent laparoscopic exploration of the CBD for choledocholithiasis at the Wujin Hospital Affiliated with Jiangsu University between January 2016 and December 2023.
