Adjuvant Xeloda Plus Eloxatin +/- Avastin After Radical Resection of Liver Metastasis of Colorectal Cancer

Project description:The primary aim of this study is to investigate whether the addition of the new anti-cancer drug bevacizumab (Avastin) to the combination of the chemotherapeutic agents capecitabine (Xeloda) and oxaliplatin (Eloxatin) reduces (slows down) the recurrence of metastatic disease after a radical resection of liver metastases in patients with colorectal cancer.

Catalytic Hydrodefluorination via Oxidative Addition, Ligand Metathesis, and Reductive Elimination at Bi(I)/Bi(III) Centers.

Project description:Herein, we report a hydrodefluorination reaction of polyfluoroarenes catalyzed by bismuthinidenes, Phebox-Bi(I) and OMe-Phebox-Bi(I). Mechanistic studies on the elementary steps support a Bi(I)/Bi(III) redox cycle that comprises C(sp2)-F oxidative addition, F/H ligand metathesis, and C(sp2)-H reductive elimination. Isolation and characterization of a cationic Phebox-Bi(III)(4-tetrafluoropyridyl) triflate manifests the feasible oxidative addition of Phebox-Bi(I) into the C(sp2)-F bond. Spectroscopic evidence was provided for the formation of a transient Phebox-Bi(III)(4-tetrafluoropyridyl) hydride during catalysis, which decomposes at low temperature to afford the corresponding C(sp2)-H bond while regenerating the propagating Phebox-Bi(I). This protocol represents a distinct catalytic example where a main-group center performs three elementary organometallic steps in a low-valent redox manifold.

Study of Capecitabine With Irinotecan and Oxaliplatin (Eloxatin) in Advanced Colorectal Cancer

Project description:The purpose of this study is to find out how effective the new combination of the drugs Capecitabine (Xeloda), Oxaliplatin (Eloxatin), and Irinotecan (Camptosar) are against colon and rectal cancer. All three of these drugs are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of colon or rectal cancer. This however is the first time that these three drugs have been combined in this schedule for the treatment of colon/rectal cancer.

Effect of Bi Addition on the Heat Resistance of As-Extruded AZ31 Magnesium Alloy.

Project description:In this work, we investigate the impact of Bi addition on the heat resistance of as-extruded AZ31 alloy during high-temperature annealing and hot compression. Electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) technique and quasi in situ scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are used to analyze the evolution of microstructures during high-temperature annealing and hot compression, respectively. The test results show that with a prolonged annealing time, the as-extruded AZB313 alloy exhibited a lower grain growth rate, due to the pinning effect of Mg3Bi2 phases distributed at grain boundaries. On the other hand, as the compressive temperature increased, the downtrend of strength is delayed in the as-extruded AZB313 alloy. Thermally stable Mg3Bi2 phases dispersed within the grains act as barriers, hindering the motion of dislocations, which not only provides a more effective precipitation strengthening effect, but also increases the resistance to deformation of grains. Moreover, grain boundary sliding can also be restricted by Mg3Bi2 phases located at grain boundaries. This work provides a new idea for the development of heat-resistant wrought Mg alloys.

Bi(OTf)3-, TfOH-, and TMSOTf-mediated, one-pot epoxide rearrangement, addition, and intramolecular silyl-modified Sakurai (ISMS) cascade toward dihydropyrans: comparison of catalysts and role of Bi(OTf)3.

Project description:Catalytic quantities of bismuth(III) triflate efficiently initiate the rearrangement of epoxides to aldehydes, which subsequently react with (Z)-δ-hydroxyalkenylsilanes to afford 2,6-disubstituted 3,6-dihydro-2H-pyrans. Isolated yields of desired products using Bi(OTf)(3) were compared with yields obtained when the reactions were run with TfOH and TMSOTf in the presence and absence of several additives. These studies, as well as NMR spectroscopic analyses, indicate an initial Lewis acid/base interaction between Bi(OTf)(3) and substrates providing TfOH in situ.

A phase II trial of capecitabine (Xeloda) in recurrent ovarian cancer.

Project description:Oral capecitabine is a highly active, well-tolerated and convenient treatment for breast and colorectal cancer. This trial assessed the efficacy and safety of single-agent capecitabine in patients with previously treated ovarian cancer. A total of 29 patients with platinum-pretreated relapsed ovarian cancer were enrolled in this prospective, open-label, single-centre, phase II study. Patients received oral capecitabine 1250 mg m(-2) twice daily on days 1-14 of a 21-day cycle. Tumour response was evaluated using serum CA125. Out of 29 enrolled patients, 28 were evaluable, and a response was observed in eight patients (29%, 95% confidence interval (CI), 13-49%). Median progression-free and overall survivals were 3.7 (95% CI, 2.8-4.6) and 8.0 (95% CI, 4.1-11.8) months, respectively. After 6 months of treatment, 28% (95% CI, 13-48%) of patients remained progression-free and 62% (95% CI, 42-79%) were still alive. The most common clinical adverse events were hand-foot syndrome (HFS), nausea and diarrhoea. Grade 3 HFS occurred in 14% of patients, grade 3 vomiting in 10%. Efficacy and safety of capecitabine compare favourably with other monotherapies in platinum-refractory epithelial ovarian cancer. The convenience and improved safety profile of capecitabine compared with intravenous. regimens make it an ideal agent for administration in the outpatient setting.

For the â??Sâ?? treatment, one part was supplied with 10 mM NH4NO3 while the other part was supplied with a nitrogen-free nutrient solution. For the â??Lâ?? treatment, one part was supplied 0.5mM NO3- and the other part was supplied with the nitrogen free solution. Eight biological materials (designated AL, AS, SL, SS, IL, IS, NIL, NIS), with three biological repeats for each, were collected and analyzed. The effects of the S and L conditions were investigated on wild-type A17 (AL vs. AS) and sunn-2 mutant plants (SL vs. SS); one set of A17 plants was inoculated with Sinorhizobium meliloti (IL vs. IS), harvested at four days post inoculation and compared to non-inoculated plants (NIL vs. NIS).
