mucinous carcinoma of the breast is a well-differentiated type of adenocarcinoma accounting for 2-5% of all breast cancers. pure mucinous carcinoma of the breast has a favorable prognosis, usually seen in post-menopausal women. neuroendocrine differentiation has been described in both in-situ and infiltrating breast cancers .mucinous carcinomas of the breast appear to have the greatest associat...

Lobular carcinoma in situ was first described over 60 years ago. Despite the long history, it continues to pose significant difficulties in screening, diagnosis, management and treatment. This is partly due its multi-focal and bilateral presentation, an incomplete understanding of its biology and natural history and perpetuation of misconceptions gathered over the last decades. In this review, ...

PURPOSE To evaluate imaging features of pure lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients who underwent immediate re-excision after lumpectomy. METHODS Twenty-six patients (46.1±6.7 years) with 28 pure LCIS lesions, who underwent preoperative MRI and received curative surgery at our institution between 2005 and 2013, were included in this study. Clinicopath...

The first organocatalytic synthesis of cis-decalins using sulfonyl Nazarov reagents is reported. The Jørgensen's catalyst directs this highly enantioselective synthesis using different cyclohexenal derivatives.

In the title compound, [Pt(CH(3))(2)(C(18)H(15)As)(2)], the Pt(II) atom adopts a distorted cis-PtAs(2)C(2) square-planar coordination geometry. In the crystal, mol-ecules inter-act via aromatic π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid separation = 3.6741 (18) Å].

In the structure of the title compound, C(20)H(34)O(2)Si, a cis,trans,cis,cis-[4.5.5.5]fenestrane derivative, the geometry of the central C(C)(4) substructure shows considerable distortion from an ideal tetra-hedral arrangement towards planarity, with two opposite bridgehead bond angles of 128.87 (18) and 122.83 (17)°. The other bridgehead angle of the trans-bicyclo-[3.3.0]octane subunit is als...

The Sn(IV) atom in the three independent mol-ecules of the title compound, [Sn(C(7)H(6)Cl)(2)(C(9)H(6)NO)Cl], is N,O-chelated by the quinolin-8-olate anion and exists in a cis-C(2)SnNOCl trigonal-bipyramidal geometry; the O atom of the anion and the two benzyl C atoms lie in the equatorial plane.

The title compound, C(16)H(20)Cl(2)O(8), contains a central bicyclo-[2.2.2]octane skeleton with slightly twisted conformation. In this structure, the C-C bond lengths are in the range 1.525 (2)-1.552 (2) Å. Two sides of this skeleton have cis,cis acet-oxy substituents and the Cl atoms have a trans arrangement. An extensive network of weak C-H⋯O interactions stabilizes the crystal structure.

Chiral cyclic compounds exhibited light-driven twisting by means of trans-cis photoisomerization in 1,4-dioxane solution, a neat film, and a liquid-crystalline host.
