This study investigated possible effective treatments for cervical pregnancy, a rare form of ectopic pregnancy. The clinical records of 11 cases of ectopic pregnancy admitted to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from 1998 to 2010 were analyzed. All patients were treated with intermuscular injection of methotrexate (MTX, 50 mg), and oral mifepristone (25 mg, bid). All cases...

An efficient, general palladium catalyst for C–O bond-forming reactions of secondary and primary alcohols with a range of aryl halides has been developed. Use of a catalyst based on a single bulky biarylphosphine ligand L4 (RockPhos, soon to be commercially available) has expanded this chemistry to allow the transformation of a variety of heteroaryl halides, and for the first time, allows for t...
