INTRODUCTION Surgical management for penile carcinoma is mutilating and affects significantly quality of life. Hereby we present our experience on penile reconstruction (PR) immediately after oncologic resection. MATERIALS AND METHODS We included all patients from January 2007 until April 2012 who underwent PR after partial penectomy (PP). Patients included in the study were seen at four diff...

The 5'-deoxy-5'-iodo-substituted analogs of adenosine and inosine are cytotoxic to tumor cells that have high activities of 5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase and purine nucleoside phosphorylase, respectively (Savarese, T.M., Chu, S-H., Chu, M.Y., and Parks, R. E., Jr. (1984) Biochem. Pharmacol. 34, 361-367). 5-Iodoribose 1-phosphate (5-IRib-1-P), the common intracellular metabolite of these ...

Background: Literature review shows that there are not sufficient data about polyphenolic compounds of peel of Iranian pomegranate. So, this work was mainlyundertaken to determine phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity of dried peel of Iranian pomegranate. Methods: Pomegranate fruits were obtained from mature fruits grown in Saveh, Iran and the Pomegranate Peel (PP) were dried with three ...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(21)H(22)OP)], the cyclo-penta-dienyl (Cp) rings are almost parallel and are essentially eclipsed. The absolute configuration was determined as S for the planar and R for the central chirality.

The crystal structure of [3]ferrocenophan-1-one, [Fe(C(13)H(12)O)], has been redetermined at 150 K. The tethered cyclo-penta-dienyl (Cp) rings are tilted by 9.39 (18)° and assume an eclipsed conformation. The 1-oxopropane-1,3-diyl bridge has a pseudo-envelope conformation with the C=O group deviating by as much as 22.5 (2)° from coplanarity with its attached Cp ring.

The hydrophobically assisted switching phase (HASP) method was applied in the assembly of oligomannosides. A new mannosyl donor with high reactivity was selected after a series of optimization studies, which was suitable for the synthesis of oligomannosides via the HASP method. The practicability of the HASP method towards the synthesis of branched oligosaccharides was explored and two branched...
