2,5,8-Tri-tert-butyl-1,3,4,6,7,9-hexaazaphenalene (6) was prepared from diethyl 2-[bis(methylsulfanyl) methylene]malonate (1) in four steps. The structure of compound 6 was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The phenalene skeleton is nearly planar, and there is no π-π overlap between the hexaazaphenalene rings. A calculation of the homolytic bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE) was performed for compound 6 and its analogs 7 and 8, and the results were used to explain the different reactivity for these three compounds to form the corresponding radicals.
The reaction of 1,2-diselenacyclopentane with N,O,O-tri-(toluene-p-sulphonate)-diethanolamine afforded a new seleno-azacrown ether, i.e. N,N′-ditosyl-1,11-diaza-4,8,14,18-tetraselena cycloicosane (1), in 19% yield, which was comprehensively characterized by elemental analysis, UV–Vis, 1H NMR and mass spectroscopy. The reaction of 1 with copper(II) perchlorate (Cu(ClO4)2) and platinum(IV) tetrachloride (PtCl4) gave its corresponding copper (2) and platinum complexes (3), respectively. The crystallographic investigations showed that the disparity of metal ion led not only to the distinct crystal system and space group, i.e. monoclinic system (C2/c) for 2 and triclinic system (P-1) for 3, but also the different coordination modes of copper and platinum ions with 1, i.e. normal coordination mode for 2 and ring-contracted coordination mode for 3. Moreover, the metal ions in the crystals 2 and 3 were found in Cu(I) and Pt(II) forms, respectively, although Cu(II) and Pt(IV) were used at the initial stage of coordination reaction.

BACKGROUND The mechanism of improvement of type 2 diabetes after duodenal-jejunal bypass (DJB) surgery is not clear. AIM To study the morphological and functional changes in adipose tissue after DJB and explore the potential mechanisms contributing to postoperative insulin sensitivity improvement of adipose tissue in a diabetic male rat model. METHODS DJB and sham surgery was performed in a-high-fat-diet/streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat model. All adipose tissue was weighed and observed under microscope. Use inguinal fat to represent subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and mesangial fat to represent visceral adipose tissue. RNA-sequencing was utilized to evaluate gene expression alterations adipocytes. The hematoxylin and eosin staining, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction, western blot, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were used to study the changes. Insulin resistance was evaluated by immunofluorescence. RESULTS After DJB, whole body blood glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity in adipose tissue improved. Fat cell volume in both visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and SAT increased. Compared to SAT, VAT showed more significantly functional alterations after DJB and KEGG analysis indicated growth hormone (GH) pathway and downstream adiponectin secretion were involved in metabolic regulation. The circulating GH and adiponectin levels and GH receptor and adiponectin levels in VAT increased. Cytological experiment showed that GH stimulated adiponectin secretion and improve insulin sensitivity. CONCLUSION GH improves insulin resistance in VAT in male diabetic rats after receiving DJB, possibly by increasing adiponectin secretion.
The oxovanadium(IV)−lanthanide(III) heteronuclear complexes, {[Ce(H2O)7(VO)(TTHA)0.5][(VO)2(TTHA)]}·8H2O (2), [Pr(H2O)7(VO)3(TTHA)1.5]·10H2O (3), and [Nd(H2O)7(VO)3(TTHA)1.5]·10H2O (4) (H6TTHA = triethylenetetraaminehexaacetic acid), were prepared based on a binuclear building block of [(VO)2(TTHA)]2- in [VO(H2O)5][(VO)2TTHA]·4H2O (1). The X-ray crystallographic studies show that 1 is an ion-pair complex, containing the [(VO)2(TTHA)]2- unit as a useful building block. Adding the light Ln3+ ions to this synthesis system, three new 3d−4f mixed-metal-based complexes were obtained. Although the light lanthanide ions always exhibit similar chemical behavior, the structures of 2−4 are not homologous. 2 is exhibited as a one-dimensional coordination polymer, comprising an unusual Ce2V2 heterometallic lattice in the chain structure, which is the second report of a oxovanadium(IV)−lanthanide(III) coordination polymer. 3 and 4 are isomorphic, every two of the Ln3+ cations linked three [(VO)2(TTHA)]2- anions, forming an interesting linear octanuclear structure. This kind of heteronuclear linear complex is rather rare, which expands the realm of 3d−4f complexes. Further investigations such as IR spectra, UV−vis spectra, magnetic properties, and EPR spectra were studied, and a detailed discussion is given for this system.
Radical gastric cancer surgery can cause functional and physiological disorders due to the resection of perigastric vagus nerves. Few studies have used intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring and indocyanine green (ICG) labeling to preserve the perigastric vagus nerve and to evaluate the corresponding effects.
