A urea derivative L1 exhibits Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE) activity in an acetonitrile-water mixed solvent. The aggregation phenomenon has been corroborated by microscopy and light scattering studies. The ligand (L1) also displays a selective turn-on fluorescence response towards human serum albumin (HSA) in 100% aqueous medium over various other comparable proteins (even bovine serum albumin (BSA)) and enzymes. The weakly emissive probe L1 showed a substantial increase in emission intensity upon binding with HSA through electrostatic interactions. The good linear relationship between the fluorescence enhancement (I/I0 - 1) and the concentration of HSA provided the scope to attain an impressive detection limit as low as 5 μg mL-1. A drug displacement experiment and molecular docking study were employed to ascertain the likely protein (HSA)-ligand binding interactions.

Background: Albumin, a vital component in regulating human blood oncotic pressure, plays an important role in the prediction of prognosis in pediatric patients.Previous research identified significant differences in serum albumin levels of healthy and critically ill children.

Methods: The present study aims to investigate the correlation between albumin levels measured during pediatric intensive care unit(PICU) admission and clinical outcomes.

Herin, the successful synthesis of a bis Schiff base (L) has been achieved using 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde and 1,3-diaminoguanidine as raw materials, which was further characterized by infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum. Moreover, spectroscopic experiments demonstrated that the probe L showed good selectivity and visual detectability for Al. Its detection limit (DL) is 2.

Risk factors for venous thromboembolism in patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy as treatment for ovarian cancer.

Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol

December 2024

Department of Gynaecological Oncology, West Kent Cancer Centre, Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust, Hermitage Lane, Maidstone, Kent ME16 9QQ, United Kingdom.

Objective: During the treatment of ovarian cancer, the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) post operatively is well established, however, patients may be at even greater risk during neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). This study aimed to determine the incidence and timing of VTE amongst patients undergoing NACT, whether there was an association with survival, and examine risk factors associated with the development of VTE.

Study Design: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients diagnosed with ovarian, fallopian tube and primary peritoneal cancer receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy betweenApril 2011 and April 2022 at a gynaecological cancer centre in England.
