Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) appears to be a promising application for the diagnosis of parotid glandtumours. We aimed to systematically review and meta-analyse the ability of CEUS in distinguishing benign from malignantparotid gland tumours.
PubMed was searched for relevant studies. Data on area under time intensitycurve (AUC) in arbitrary unit (AU), and mean transit time (MTT) in seconds (sec) were analysed using the Cochrane ReviewManager Software.
Nine studies met the eligibility criteria comprising a total number of 498 parotid gland tumours(benign, number (n)=423; malignant, n=75). Descriptive evaluation of parotid gland tumours following CEUS administrationshowed overlap characteristics in benign and malignancies. Two publications assessed AUC and MTT in 72 and 60 parotidgland tumours, respectively. AUC was significantly lower in benign compared to malignant tumours following contrast administration(AUC, mean difference (MD) -266.77 AU, 95% confidence intervals (CI) -433.22, -100.33, p=0.002). No significantdifferent in MTT between benign and malignant tumours (p=0.12). Heterogeneity was statistically significant in AUC (p=0.04)and MTT (p<0.00001).
Descriptive evaluation of parotid gland tumours showed overlap CEUS characteristics.Perfusion related CEUS parameters analysis is promising in differentiating benign parotid tumours from malignancies.

According to a novel in-utero classification termed "umbilical-portal-systemic venous shunt (UPSVS)" recentlyproposed for an abnormal umbilical, portal and ductal venous system, the portal-systemic shunt belongs to type III UPSVS.This study was designed to examine the ultrasonographic characteristics and outcome of type III UPSVS.Material andmethods All cases of Type III UPSVS diagnosed at our department from April 2016 to December 2020 were retrospectivelystudied.
Seventeen patients with type III UPSVS including 12 type IIIa and 5 IIIb cases were identified. Sonographyshowed a shunt between the inferior left portal vein and the left hepatic vein in all type IIIa cases. Three cases of type IIIb hada combination of another shunt (2 with type I and one with type IIIa). Integrate intrahepatic portal vein system was not seenin those 2 cases of type IIIb combined with type I UPSVS, leading to termination of pregnancy (TOP). TOP occurred in 4patients with type IIIa as requested by the parents. Two cases (type IIIa and type IIIb each) underwent surgical procedure forthe closure of the shunt. Spontaneous complete closure in 4 type IIIa cases and partial closure in one type IIIb case occurredduring a period of 3-16 months.
The majority of patients had type IIIa UPSVS presenting a good outcome. Thelack of integrate intrahepatic portal vein system was the main reason for TOP in patients with type IIIb UPSVS. These datasuggest the UPSVS classification is a useful tool for a prognosis prediction of type III UPSVS.

Although the transforearm approach is considered a safe and effective option for percutaneous coronary intervention, the different characteristics of the radial and ulnar arteries deserve attention. This study aimed to evaluate radial (RA) and ulnar artery (UA) diameter and blood flow parameters changes after catheterization.
A total of 328 patients were enrolled. Their artery (171 RA and 157 UA) diameter and flow parameters [peak systolic velocity (PSV), end-diastolic volume (EDV) and pulsatility index (PI)] were evaluated before and after catheterisation.
After RA catheterization, the diameters and PSV decreased in the RA (from 2.71±0.66 to 2.47±0.51, p=0.007; from 44.7±8.3 to 33.9±9.5, p=0.021) and increased in the UA (from 2.49±0.83 to 2.59±0.58, p=0.033; from 48.3±11.9 to 59.6±11.0, p.

For the unsymmetrical substituted compounds 2',3'-difluoro-4-methyl-p-terphenyl (1T0, C19H14F2) and 4-ethyl-2',3'-difluoro-4''-methyl-p-terphenyl (1T2, C21H18F2), the crystal structure is disordered, with molecules statistically entering the crystal in up and down orientations, with full superposition of all the atoms, except for those of the terminal groups (H/methyl for 1T0 and methyl/ethyl for 1T2). For triclinic 2',3'-difluoro-4,4''-dimethyl-p-terphenyl (1T1, C20H16F2), with the space group P-1, the two crystallographically independent molecules have the same conformation, which is different from monoclinic 1T0 (space group C2) and 1T2 (space group C2/c). A common feature of the conformation of the three compounds is the noncoplanar twisted arrangement of the three rings of the p-terphenyl moiety. Two-dimensional (2D) Hirshfeld fingerprint plots are consistent with H...H and C...H contacts in the crystal packing. For the three compounds, the phase behaviour has been investigated by POM (Petra/Osiris/Molinspiration) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. 1T2 is mesogenic, with enantiotropic nematic behaviour.During the course of research into the structure of 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (F4TCNQ), C12F4N4, an important compound in charge-transfer and organic semiconductor research, a previously unreported polymorph of F4TCNQ was grown concomitantly with the known polymorph from a saturated solution of dichloromethane. The structure was elucidated using single-crystal X-ray diffraction and it was found that the new polymorph packs with molecules in parallel layers, in a similar manner to the layered structure of F2TCNQ. The structure was analysed using Hirshfeld surface analysis, fingerprint plots and pairwise interaction energies, and compared to existing data. The structure of a toluene solvate of F4TCNQ is also reported.A novel tungstoantimonate, [Na5(H2O)18(HOCH2)2CHNH32][SbVWVI6O24] (SbW6), was synthesized from an aqueous solution and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, which revealed C2/c symmetry. The structure contains two serinol [(HOCH2)2CHNH3]+ and five Na+ cations, which are octahedrally surrounded by 18 water molecules, and one [SbVWVI6O24]7- anion. The serinol molecules also play a critical role in the synthesis by acting as a mild buffering agent. Each of the WVI and SbV ions is six-coordinated and displays a distorted octahedral motif. A three-dimensional supramolecular framework is formed via hydrogen-bonding interactions between the tungstoantimonates and cations. Powder X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and IR spectroscopy were performed on SbW6 to prove the purity, to identify the water content and to characterize the vibrational modes of the crystallized phase.The synthesis, single-crystal X-ray structure, and 1H and 13C NMR spectrocopic analyses of an unyielding precursor molecule to a cyclic (alkyl)(amido)carbene, 1-chloro-2-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-azaspiro[5.5]undecane-3,5-dione, C24H34ClNO2 (1), is reported. Despite the use of several bases, 1 could not be deprotonated to afford the corresponding carbene. The crystal structure of 1 was compared to the crystal structures of two structurally similar HCl adducts of stable carbenes (compounds 4 and 5), which revealed no significant differences in the geometries about the `carbene' C atoms. To better understand the reactivity differences observed for 1 when compared to 4 and 5, modified percent buried volume (%Vbur) calculations were performed. These calculations revealed that the H atom bound to the carbene C atom is the most sterically hindered in compound 1 when compared to 4 and 5 (%Vbur = 84.9, 81.3, and 79.3% for 1, 4, and 5, respectively). Finally, close inspection of the quadrant-specific %Vbur values indicated that the approach of a deprotonating base to the H atom bound to the carbene C atom is significantly blocked in 1 (69.9%) when compared to 4 and 5 (50.4 and 56.5%, respectively).Pyrimidine-2-thione (HSpym) reacts with lead(II) thiocyanate and lead(II) bromide in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) to form poly[(μ-isothiocyanato-κ2NS)(μ4-pyrimidine-2-thiolato-κ6N1,SSSS,N3)lead(II)], [Pb(C4H3N2S)(NCS)]n or [Pb(Spym)(NCS)]n, (I), and the polymeric one-dimensional (1D) compound catena-poly[[μ4-bromido-di-μ-bromido-(μ-pyrimidine-2-thiolato-κ3N1,SS)(μ-pyrimidine-2-thione-κ3N1,SS)dilead(II)] N,N-dimethylformamide monosolvate], [Pb2Br3(C4H3N2S)(C4H4N2S)]·C3H7NOn or [Pb2Br3(Spym)(HSpym)]·DMFn, (IIa), respectively. Poly[μ4-bromido-di-μ3-bromido-(μ-pyrimidine-2-thiolato-κ3N1,SS)(μ-pyrimidine-2-thione-κ3N1,SS)dilead(II)], [Pb2Br3(C4H3N2S)(C4H4N2S)]n or [Pb2Br3(Spym)(HSpym)]n, (IIb), could be obtained as a mixture with (IIa) when using a lesser amount of solvent. In the crystal structures of the pseudohalide/halide PbII stable compounds, coordination of anionic and neutral HSpym has been observed. Both Spym- (in the thiolate tautomeric form) and NCS- ligands were responsible for the two-dimensional (2D) arrangement in (I). The Br- ligands establish the 1D polymeric arrangement in (IIa). Eight-coordinated metal centres have been observed in both compounds, when considering the Pb...S and Pb...Br interactions. Both compounds were characterized by FT-IR and diffuse reflectance spectroscopies, as well as by powder X-ray diffraction. Compound (IIa) and its desolvated version (IIb) represent the first structurally characterized PbII compounds containing neutral HSpym and anionic Spym- ligands. After a prolonged time in solution, (IIa) is converted to another compound due to complete deprotonation of HSpym. click here The structural characterization of (I) and (II) suggests HSpym as a good candidate for the removal of PbII ions from solutions containing thiocyanate or bromide ions.The solid-state isolation of the different tautomers of a chemical compound can be a challenging problem. In many cases, tautomers with an energy very close to the most stable one cannot be isolated (elusive tautomers). In this article, with reference to the 4-methyl-7-(pyrazin-2-yl)-2H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,2-c][1,2,4]triazole ligand, for which the elusive 3H-tautomer has an energy only 1.4 kcal mol-1 greater than the most stable 2H form, we show that metal complexation is a successful and reliable way for stabilizing the elusive tautomer. We have prepared two complexes of the neutral ligand with CuBr2 and ZnBr2, namely, aquabromidobis[4-methyl-7-(pyrazin-2-yl)-3H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,2-c][1,2,4]triazole]copper(II) bromide trihydrate, [CuBr(C8H7N7)2(H2O)]Br·3H2O, and dibromido[4-methyl-7-(pyrazin-2-yl)-2H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,2-c][1,2,4]triazole][4-methyl-7-(pyrazin-2-yl)-3H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,2-c][1,2,4]triazole]zinc(II) monohydrate, [ZnBr2(C8H7N7)2]·H2O. The X-ray analysis shows that, in both cases, the elusive 3H-tautomer is present.
