Article Abstract
Objectives: To analyze the results of, and to evaluate, gynaecologic laparoscopy in Dakar Teaching Hospital.
Methods: This exploratory and descriptive study deals with a continuous series of 128 gynaecologic laparoscopies carried out between January 1, 2006, and December 31, 2009. In each operative case, sociodemographic and clinical parameters,operative data, and outcomes were studied.
Results: Laparoscopies represented 14.37% of the programmed operative activities. The average age of the patients was 32 years,and the average parity was 1.2. The interventions were most frequently undertaken because of infertility (78.9%). A history of pelvic infections was found in 39.8% of the cases. The most frequent pathologies were tubal anomalies (70% of infertility cases) followed by ovarian cysts (10.1%) and endometriosis. The operative interventions included adhesiolysis in 35.1% of cases,and tubal surgery in 30.4%. A conversion, necessary in 7% of cases, was necessitated by the extent of adhesions (3 cases),the treatment of an associated pathology (4 cases), or a technical difficulty (2 cases).The main complications were vascular wounds and uterine perforations. The average operating times for diagnostic and operative laparoscopies were 56 minutes and 107 minutes,respectively. Outcomes were simple in 91.8% of cases. During the immediate postoperative period, a death occurred due to an acute pneumopathy. The average length of hospital stay was 3 days. We observed a pregnancy rate of 4.6%. Assisted reproduction was indicated in 28.7% of infertility cases.
Conclusion: Given its many advantages, diagnostic and operative laparoscopy must be integrated and developed by gynaecology departments in developing countries. This necessity is emphasized by the prevalence of tubal infertility of infectious origins, which, if diagnosed and treated early by laparoscopy,could have a better prognosis.

New Synthetic Analogs of Natural 5Z,9Z-Dienoic Acids-Hybrid Molecules Based on Oleanolic Acid: Synthesis and Study of Antitumor Activity.
Cancers (Basel)
November 2024
N.D. Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry, Russian Academy of Sciences, Leninsky Prospect 47, Moscow 119991, Russia.
Article Synopsis
- - A new series of synthetic compounds, based on natural (5Z,9Z)-diene acids and containing an oleanolic acid fragment, was created by linking it to different amines and a specific carboxylic acid using innovative chemical reactions.
- - The synthesized compounds showed significant cytotoxic effects against various cancer cell lines, with one compound demonstrating the strongest activity, indicated by low IC50 values in tests on Jurkat, K562, U937, and HEK293 cells.
- - One of these compounds was found to trigger apoptosis (programmed cell death) and exhibit genotoxic effects in Jurkat cell cultures, suggesting its potential as a promising candidate for antitumor drug development.
Outcomes of Surgical Management of Late Presenting Intra-Articular Distal Femoral Physeal Fracture: A Multicentric Retrospective Case Series.
Indian J Orthop
December 2024
Department of Orthopaedics, Paras HMRI Hospital, Patna, Bihar 800014 India.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the outcomes of surgical treatment for rare distal femur physeal fractures in children, specifically focusing on Hoffa fractures.
- It involved six pediatric patients, with five receiving surgical intervention and one managed conservatively, showing improvements in knee range of motion post-surgery.
- Findings indicate that surgical intervention can provide favorable results, but further follow-up is needed to assess long-term outcomes as patients grow.
Identifying and Quantifying Borate Environments in Borosilicate Glasses: B NMR-Peak Assignments Assisted by Double-Quantum Experiments.
J Phys Chem B
December 2024
Physical Chemistry Division, Department of Materials and Environmental Chemistry, Arrhenius Laboratory, Stockholm University, Stockholm SE-106 91, Sweden.
We discuss the prospects for accurate B magic-angle-spinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectral deconvolutions for reaching beyond the readily extracted borate speciations offered by the integrated resonances of the coexisting B and B species of the respective BO and BO network groups in borosilicate (BS) glasses. We critically review hitherto proposed B and B NMR-peak assignments relating to their neighboring Si, B and B species, as quantified by MAS NMR spectral deconvolution. Guidance to these resonance assignments was offered from double-quantum-single-quantum (2Q-1Q) B MAS NMR experiments that inform about the B-O-B network linkages.

Article Synopsis
- π-Extended BODIPY compounds are effective fluorophores emitting in the red or near-infrared range, making them useful for various scientific applications like materials science and biomedical imaging.
- The study investigates dibenzo-fused BODIPY as a red photoredox catalyst by adding an electron donor group, focusing on the synthesis and photophysical properties of different donor-acceptor configurations.
- Research reveals how structural changes, specifically methyl groups and bridge length, influence the rates of photoinduced electron transfer, ultimately impacting their effectiveness in reactions like atom transfer radical addition.
Single-Sided Delocalized Polarization of the C Cage and Reduced Infrared Intensities and Dipole Moment of HO@C.
J Phys Chem A
December 2024
Spectroscopy Division, Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute, 1-1-1 Kouto Sayo, Hyogo 679-5198, Japan.
The C fullerene cage can encapsulate a small molecule like water and provides room to leave the encapsulated component rather isolated, but the true nature of the intracomplex interactions should be further elucidated for better understanding and utility of this series of complexes. Here, an analysis toward this goal is conducted for HO@C by infrared spectral measurements and theoretical calculations. It is shown that the response of the π electrons of the C cage upon encapsulating a water molecule is single-sided and delocalized in that the electron density is partially transferred from the - side to the + side of the cage (when the axis is taken along the water dipole) but almost only inside the cage, explaining the significant reduction of the dipole moment and the infrared intensities.
