46 year old man appealed to the Cancer Research Center of RAMS in October 2012 with unverified anterior superior mediastinal tumor, which was diagnosed in 2010. Progressive compartment syndrome of the superior vena cava was observed. On examination: CT, MRI, angiography, histological and cytological examination of biopsy material did not allow to confirm the morphological structure of the tumor. Removal of the tumor with bifurcation of the brachiocephalic trunk prosthetics was performed. Immunohistochemical (IHC) study verified malignant hemangioendothelioma.

In this paper, a pH-sensitive chitosan-grafted phenylboronic acid (CS-BA)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel was constructed based on dynamic borate bonding for loading chemotherapeutic drug cisplatin (CDDP) and divalent Cu (CS-BA/PVA-Cu-CDDP). The hydrogel can respond and degrade specifically in the simulative acidic tumor microenvironment (TME), and the released Cu can deplete glutathione (GSH) in tumor cells and generate Cu. It is worth noting that, Cu can further catalyze the Fenton-like reaction to generate cancer cell-toxic hydroxyl radicals (OH•).

Porous graphitized carbon (PGC)-supported CoFeO bimetallic catalysts (CoFeO/PGC) were prepared by a hydrothermal method using Fe(NO)·9HO and Co(NO)·6HO as precursors and were used to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the degradation of chlorobenzene (CB). Under the conditions of CoFeO/PGC catalysts and PMS concentrations of 0.1 g/L and 5 mM, respectively, in a wide range of pH (5.

A number of patients come on the recommendation of a dermatologist, but for the majority of patients, the primary visit is directly to the surgical clinic. The reason for removing a pigmented lesion may be an unsatisfactory cosmetic appearance or frequent irritation due to inappropriate location of the lesion, but also the fear of the development of malignancy.

The reaction of aqueous suspensions of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with UV-excited sodium hypochlorite has previously been reported to be an efficient route for doping nanotubes with oxygen atoms. We have investigated how this reaction system is affected by pH level, dissolved O content, and radical scavengers and traps. Products were characterized with near-IR fluorescence, Raman, and XPS spectroscopy.

Zinc-imprinted polymer (ZnIP) and non-imprinted polymer (NIP) were synthesized by radical polymerization, and their properties were studied. The novelty of the work lies in the use of humic acids isolated from coals of the Shubarkol deposit (Karaganda, Kazakhstan) as a basis for the imprinted polymer matrix, with methacrylic acid and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as a functional monomer and a cross-linking agent, respectively. The composition and structure of ZnIP and NIP were characterized using various physicochemical methods.
