Over a period of observation of 4 years maximum, there is no significant difference between the estimated survival time (by actuarial calculation) for patients with single and for those with double prostheses. Wihin the year following operation there is not significant difference between single and double prostheses as regards: the incidence of bacterial endocarditis, of pyrexias of unknown origin, of hepatitis, of haemolytic anaemia, of bleeding complications or incidents, of coronary of peripheral ischaemic episodes, or of reduced cardiac volume. On the other hand, there is a significant difference in the incidence of neurological defects (21% for the double prosthesis group, and 5% for the single prosthesis group, p less than 0.005 and or right ventricular failure (18% and 7% respectively, p less than 0.05) in the two groups.

Background: Surgical intervention is critical in the treatment of hip developmental dysplasia in children. Perioperative analgesia, usually based on high opioid dosages, is frequently used in these patients. In some circumstances, regional anesthetic procedures such as caudal block and lumbar plexus block have also been used.

Enantioselective construction of silicon-stereogenic vinylsilanes from simple alkenes.

Nat Commun

State Key Laboratory and Institute of Elemento-Organic Chemistry, College of Chemistry, Frontiers Science Center for New Organic Matter, Haihe Laboratory of Sustainable Chemical Transformations, Nankai University 94 Weijin Road, Tianjin, China.

The diverse utility of acyclic vinylsilanes has driven the interest in the synthesis of enantioenriched vinylsilanes bearing a Si-stereogenic center. However, the predominant approaches for catalytic asymmetric generation of Si-stereogenic vinylsilanes have mainly relied on transition metal-catalyzed reactions of alkynes with different silicon sources. Here we successfully realize the enantioselective synthesis of linear silicon-stereogenic vinylsilanes with good yields and enantiomeric ratios from simple alkenes under rhodium catalysis.

Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after orthognathic surgery remains one of the most common side effects despite the use of several medications.

Purpose: The study aimed to compare the frequencies of PONV between a combination of metoclopramide with granisetron and granisetron alone.

Study Design, Setting, Sample: A randomized double-blind clinical trial was conducted in 66 consecutive patients who underwent orthognathic surgery at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Bezmialem Vakif University.

Ingeniously regulating the conformational equilibrium and ESPT mechanism of HBT-DPI by solvent environment: A novel perspective.

Spectrochim Acta A Mol Biomol Spectrosc

HBT-DPI was a single-molecule multi-conformational fluorescent material and had unique applications for hydrophobic/hydrophilic mapping on large-scale heterogeneous surfaces. In this paper, the different proton transfer processes and luminescence mechanisms of HBT-DPI in Dichloromethane (DCM, no hydrogen bond (HB) receptor) and N, N-Dimethylformamide (DMF, HB receptor) solvents were systematically studied. Using the quantum chemistry method, the stable structures of HBT-DPI in two solvents were determined based on the Boltzmann distribution.

Polyaniline-ZnTi-LDH heterostructure with d-π coupling for enhanced photocatalysis of pollutant removal.

J Colloid Interface Sci

School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Central South University, Changsha 410083, Hunan, China. Electronic address:

Heterointerface engineering is an effective strategy to design and construct high-performance photocatalysts. Herein, polyaniline (PANI) nanoparticles and ZnTi layered double hydroxide (ZnTi-LDH) nanosheets were integrated to form organic-inorganic heterostructure (PANI/LDH) via d-π electronic coupling using in-situ polymerization for photocatalytic oxidation/reduction towards tetracycline (TC) and Cr(VI). The photocatalytic activity was closely related to feed amount of aniline (Ani) in the polymerization process, which the abundant PANI nanoparticles were evenly distributed on the surface of ZnTi-LDH nanosheets at the proper Ani feed amount, and thus reinforced d-π electronic coupling at the organic-inorganic interfaces more efficiently.
