Catalytic enantioselective synthesis of key intermediates for triazole antifungal agents.

[reaction: see text] A short-step synthesis of versatile chiral building blocks for triazole antifungal agents such as ZD0870 and Sch45450 was developed via catalytic enantioselective cyanosilylation of electron-deficient ketones as the key step. High enantioselectivity was produced using a catalyst prepared from Gd(HMDS)(3) and ligand 5 in a 2:3 ratio. This new catalyst preparation method was superior to the previous method using Gd(O(i)Pr)(3) as a metal source. A rationale for the difference is proposed on the basis of structural studies of the catalyst complexes using ESI-MS.

[Urologic area].

In this review, the clinical experience of a three-dimensional(3D) image at urologic area are described. There are some methods for reconstructive 3D image of Multi-slice CT. Maximum intensity projection (MIP) is usefulness for detection of vascular anatomy. Multi-planar reconstruction (MPR) is usefulness for relation with circumference organs. Therefore the opportunities of angiography decreased. It seems that an applied range of a 3D image spreads more in future.

Malignant mesothelioma of testicular tunica vaginalis.

We report here a case with malignant mesothelioma of testicular tunica vaginalis. An 81-year-old Japanese man with left hydrocele was referred for operation. When hydrocelectomy was performed, a thick wall of tunica vaginalis without malignancy was observed. Seven months after hydrocelectomy, a hard irregular mass was noticed in the left scrotum, therefore inguinal orchiectomy was performed. Pathologically, the mass showed severe atypia and mitosis. The diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma was made. He refused any adjuvant treatment and died 1 year later from multiple metastases to the paraaortic lymph nodes and lumbar supine.

[Fatal septic shock caused by transrectal needle biopsy of the prostate; a case report].

A 46-year-old man refer to us because of hemospermia. The prostatic gland was normal in size and consistency at rectal examination. Serum prostate specific antigen was 7.04 ng/ml. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an area of low signal intensity on T2-weighted images in the left peripheral gland, possibly indicative of carcinoma. Transrectal prostate biopsy was performed after intravenous administration of piperacillin. He developed chills and fever (39 degrees C) the next morning following biopsy. He was taken unconscious into the hospital where a diagnosis of septic shock caused by Escherichia coli was made. Five days later, he died. His general condition deteriorated notwithstanding intensive treatment. Postmortem blood cultures were positive for a piperacillin resistant Escherichia coli. Histological examination of the biopsies showed a benign prostatic hyperplasia. Autopsy showed diffuse tissue damage in the heart, lung, liver and kidneys. The prostate had numerous microabscesses. Currently, transrectal prostate biopsy is considered a generally reliable procedure to detect adenocarcinoma of the prostate. Our case seems to the sixth case report of fatal complications.
