Clivagem dos ciclopaladados diméricos [Pd(dmba)(m-X)]2 (dmba = N,N-dimetilbenzilamina; X = Cl, N3, NCO) por tiouréia

Ciclopaladados diméricos do tipo [Pd(dmba)(m-X)]2 (dmba = N,N-dimetilbenzilamina; X = Cl, N3, NCO) reagem com tiouréia (tu), à temperatura ambiente, resultando espécies mononucleares do tipo [Pd(dmba)(X)(tu)]. Todos os compostos foram caracterizados por análise elementar, espectroscopias no IV e de RMN de ¹H e com base nessas técnicas as estruturas, desses compostos, foram propostas. Os espectros de absorção no infravermelho mostraram que a coordenação da tiouréia, ao paládio, ocorre através do átomo de enxofre. O anel ciclometalado foi confirmado através da espectroscopia de RMN de ¹H.

Significado prognóstico do linfonodo metastático N3 em carcinomas epidermóides de cabeça e pescoço

OBJETIVO: Avaliar os resultados do tratamento da doença metastática em estádio avançado (N3) e sua relação com o prognóstico do carcinoma espinocelular de cabeça e pescoço. MÉTODO: Foram revisados as informações de prontuários de 241 pacientes, com carcinoma espinocelular de boca, orofaringe, laringe e hipofaringe com metástases cervicais maiores que 6 cm (N3) submetidos à cirurgia e/ou radioterapia, no Departamento de Cirurgia de Cabeça e Pescoço e Otorrinolaringologia do Hospital Heliópolis, Hosphel, São Paulo, de 1988 a 1998. Nos pacientes submetidos à cirurgia foi avaliada a radicalidade cirúrgica, macroscopicamente completa ou não, e naqueles tratados pela radioterapia, foi analisada a resposta do sítio primário e do pescoço imediatamente ao término do tratamento. A sobrevida livre de doença foi estimada pelo método de Kapplan Meier no grupo submetido à cirurgia. RESULTADOS: A irressecabilidade da lesão primária e metastática no pescoço justificou a indicação da radioterapia na dose média de 65 Gy, em 69 pacientes ocorrendo resposta completa no sítio primário em 24(36%), no pescoço em 12 (18%), e em ambos os sítios em 11 casos (16%). No grupo sumetido à cirurgia seguido de radioterapia, a dose média foi de 56 Gy. Dos 25 pacientes com ressecção macroscópica radical do pescoço, cinco (20%) recidivaram, e dos cinco com ressecção incompleta e radioterapia, dois tiveram sobrevida de sete a 12 meses após o tratamento, quando foram perdidos de seguimento. A sobrevida livre de doença em dois anos neste grupo foi de 58%. CONCLUSÕES: Para pacientes com linfonodo metastático N3, o esvaziamento cervical seguido de radioterapia foi eficiente no controle regional da doença enquanto que nos inoperáveis, a radioterapia é um tratamento paliativo.

Synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of mono- and di-nuclear nickel(II) thiocyanate complexes with tridentate N3 donor Schiff bases

The 1:1 condensation of N-methyl-1,3-diaminopropane and N,N-diethyl-1,2-diminoethane with 2-acetylpyridine, respectively at high dilution gives the tridentate mono-condensed Schiff bases N-methyl-N'-(1-pyridin-2-yl-ethylidene)-propane-1,3-diamine (L-1) and N,N-diethyl-N'-(1-pyridin-2-yl-ethylidene)-ethane-1,2-diamine (L-2). The tridentate ligands were allowed to react with methanol solutions of nickel(II) thiocyanate to prepare the complexes [Ni(L-1)(SCN)(2)(OH2) (1) and [{Ni(L-2)(SCN)}(2)] (2). Single crystal X-ray diffraction was used to confirm the structures of the complexes. The nickel(II) in complex 1 is bonded to three nitrogen donor atoms of the ligand L-1 in a mer orientation, together with two thiocyanates bonded through nitrogen and a water molecule, and it is the first Schiff base complex of nickel(II) containing both thiocyanate and coordinated water. The coordinated water initiates a hydrogen bonded 2D network. In complex 2, the nickel ion occupies a slightly distorted octahedral coordination sphere, being bonded to three nitrogen atoms from the ligand L-2, also in a mer orientation, and two thiocyanate anions through nitrogen. In contrast to 1, the sixth coordination site is occupied by a sulfur atom from a thiocyanate anion in an adjacent molecule, thus creating a centrosymmetric dimer. A variable temperature magnetic study of complex 2 indicates the simultaneous presence of zero-field splitting, weak intramolecular ferromagnetic coupling and intermolecular antiferromagnetic interactions between the nickel(II) centers.

N3-Dye-Induced Visible Laser Anatase-to-Rutile Phase Transition on Mesoporous TiO(2) Films

Titanium dioxide has been extensively used in photocatalysis and dye-sensitized solar cells, where control of the anatase-to-rutile phase transformation may allow the realization of more efficient devices exploiting the synergic effects at anatase/rutile interfaces. Thus, a systematic study showing the proof of concept of a dye-induced morphological transition and an anatase-to-rutile transition based on visible laser (532 nm) and nano/micro patterning of mesoporous anatase (Degussa P25 TiO(2)) films is described for the first time using a confocal Raman microscope. At low laser intensities, only the bleaching of the adsorbed N3 dye was observed. However, high enough temperatures to promote melting/densification processes and create a deep hole at the focus and an extensive phase transformation in the surrounding material were achieved using Is laser pulses of 25-41 mW/cm(2), in resonance with the MLCT band. The dye was shown to play a key role, being responsible for the absorption and efficient conversion of the laser light into heat. As a matter of fact, the dye is photothermally decomposed to amorphous carbon or to gaseous species (CO(x), NO(x), and H(2)O) under a N(2) or O(2) atmosphere, respectively.

Crystal and molecular structure of dinuclear palladium(II) complex containing nitrogen and phosphorus donor ligands, [Pd2(N3)4(PPh3)2(μ-ted)]

The dinuclear azido-palladium(II) complex [Pd2(N3)4(PPh3)2(μ-ted)], where PPh3 = triphenylphosphine and ted = triethylenediamine, was synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The title compound was crystallized in a triclinic system, space group P1 with a = 11.5875(2)Å, b = 13.0817(3)Å, c = 15.2618(3)Å, α = 93.306(2)°, β =110.040(1)°, γ = 98.486(1)°, V = 2134.95(8)Å3, Z = 2. Each Pd(II) center displays a distorted squareplanar coordination environment formed by two N atoms from two trans terminally coordinated azido groups, one P atom from the phosphine and one N atom from the bridging ted ligand. 2008 © The Japan Society for Analytical Chemistry.

Fish or n3-PUFA intake and body composition: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Obesity is a major public health issue and an important contributor to the global burden of chronic disease and disability. Studies indicate that fish and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n3-PUFA) supplements may help prevent cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. However, the effect of fish oil on body composition is still uncertain, so we performed a systematic review of randomized controlled trials and the first meta-analysis on the association between fish or fish oil intake and body composition measures. We found evidence that participants taking fish or fish oil lost 0.59 kg more body weight than controls (95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.96 to -0.21). Treatment groups lost 0.24 kg m(-2) (body mass index) more than controls (-0.40 to -0.08), and 0.49 % more body fat than controls (-0.97 to -0.01). Fish or fish oil reduced waist circumference by 0.81 cm (-1.34 to -0.28) compared with control. There was no difference for fat mass and lean body mass. Further research is needed to confirm or refute our findings and to reveal possible mechanisms by which n3-PUFAs might reduce weight.
