[A women with a swelling on the shoulder].

Bos WH1, Hamersma J, Voskuyl AE.Author information 1VUMC, Amsterdam.AbstractA 52-year-old women with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis was examined because of a swollen right acromioclavicular joint after surgery 3 years earlier. Joint aspiration showed serosanguinolent fluid with white amorph material. Polarized microscopy revealed calcium deposits. The diagnosis 'calcinosis cutis' was made.

Thermochemistry of paddle wheel MOFs: Cu-HKUST-1 and Zn-HKUST-1.

Bhunia MK1, Hughes JT, Fettinger JC, Navrotsky A.Author information 1Peter A. Rock Thermochemistry Laboratory and NEAT ORU, University of California, Davis, One Shields Ave., Davis, California 95616, USA.AbstractMetal-organic framework (MOF) porosity relies upon robust metal-organic bonds to retain structural rigidity upon solvent removal. Both the as-synthesized and activated Cu and Zn polymorphs of HKUST-1 were studied by room temperature acid solution calorimetry. Their enthalpies of formation from dense assemblages (metal oxide (ZnO or CuO), trimesic acid (TMA), and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF)) were calculated from the calorimetric data. The enthalpy of formation (ΔHf) of the as-synthesized Cu-HKUST-H2O ([Cu3TMA2·3H2O]·5DMF) is -52.70 ± 0.34 kJ per mole of Cu. The ΔHf for Zn-HKUST-DMF ([Zn3TMA2·3DMF]·2DMF) is -54.22 ± 0.57 kJ per mole of Zn. The desolvated Cu-HKUST-dg [Cu3TMA2] has a ΔHf of 16.66 ± 0.51 kJ/mol per mole Cu. The ΔHf for Zn-HKUST-amorph [Zn3TMA2·2DMF] is -3.57 ± 0.21 kJ per mole of Zn. Solvent stabilizes the Cu-HKUST-H2O by -69.4 kJ per mole of Cu and Zn-HKUST-DMF by at least -50.7 kJ per mole of Zn. Such strong chemisorption of solvent is similar in magnitude to the strongly exothermic binding at low coverage for chemisorbed H2O on transition metal oxide nanoparticle surfaces. The strongly exothermic solvent-framework interaction suggests that solvent can play a critical role in obtaining a specific secondary building unit (SBU) topology.

Identification of gonadal tissue in cryptorchid stallion can be improved by molecular biological analysis - a case report.

Stumpf G1, Fietz D, Ezer J, Litzke LF, Bergmann M.Author information 1Clinic of Equine Surgery, Justus-Liebig-University, Frankfurter Straße, 108, 35392, Giessen, Germany.AbstractSurgically removed testicular tissue in cryptorchid stallions is sometimes difficult to identify because of morphological and histological malformation. Therefore, a sure method to characterise the removed tissue is required. A 2-year-old Haflinger stallion was castrated after diagnosis of cryptorchidism to remove the left intra-abdomnial testis. Intra-operative exploration of the abdominal cavity revealed a firm, dysmorphic structure, which could not be identified as testis based on macroscopic anatomy. The removed tissue was Bouin-fixed and paraffin-embedded for histological examination. We additionally applied immuno-histochemistry for smooth muscle actin to identify tubular structures as well as reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to detect the expression of steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR), indicating the presence of Leydig cells. A hCG test was conducted after surgery to screen for remaining testicular tissue. Histological examination using haematoxylin and eosin staining revealed signs of tissue calcification, amorph matrix with scattered cells and round structures. The latter could not be definitely identified as tubules. Actin staining revealed a few tubular wall structures. StAR mRNA expression indicated the presence of Leydig cells in parts of the removed tissue. The hCG test after castration showed no increase in testosterone. Histological and molecular biological examination of extirpated tissue in cryptorchid stallions can play an important role in the identification of the malformed testes like structures. The use of molecular biological techniques provides the opportunity to characterise surgically removed abdominal tissue that cannot be clearly diagnosed by routine histological examination.
