RESUMO
Antecedentes y objetivo Durante los últimos 15 años se han sucedido múltiples cambios en el tratamiento del cáncer de mama (CM) y, en especial, en las indicaciones de la biopsia del ganglio centinela (BGC) y las actitudes ante su resultado. Valorando estos avances, nuestro objetivo es comparar los resultados de las BGC realizadas en nuestro centro en 2012, año a partir del cual se dejó de practicar linfadenectomía axilar (LA) ante el hallazgo de micrometástasis en la BGC, con aquellas llevadas a cabo en 2018, cuando empezaron a aplicarse los criterios Z0011. Material y métodos Hemos desarrollado un estudio retrospectivo observacional comparativo entre la población de pacientes con CM cN0 a las que se les hizo una BGC en el año 2012 y aquellas a las que se les practicó este procedimiento en 2018. Resultados Al analizar los 2 grupos, 174 pacientes de 2012 y 165 de 2018, se hallaron algunas diferencias significativas: en 2018 hubo mayor tasa de BGC, menor número de cánceres lobulillares (14/28; p<0,05), el tamaño medio anatomopatológico fue menor (p<0,001), la representación de tumores Her2 y triple negativos fue mayor (28/49; p<0,01), así como la proporción de tratamiento neoadyuvante (6,6 vs. 42,5%; p<0,001). Al valorar los resultados del estudio axilar, en 2018 hubo un descenso tanto en la positividad de la BGC, que descendió a casi la mitad que en 2012 (42,4 vs. 24,1%; p<0,0001), como en el porcentaje de LA (21,2 vs. 12,6%; p<0,05), así como el de LA con resultado negativo (74,3 vs. 59,1%; p=ns). Conclusión En el grupo de estudio de 2018 se halló una mayor tasa de BGC, con menor tasa de resultado positivo y de LA en blanco, pese a tratarse de una población con tumores más agresivos. Este hecho podría justificarse con la mejora en el filtro radiológico mediante ecografía al diagnóstico, así como con el aumento en el uso de la terapia neoadyuvante (AU)
Background and objective Over the last 15 years, breast cancer (BC) treatment has undergone numerous changes, which have also affected the indications for sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) as well as the procedures depending on its outcome. The aim of this study is to compare the results of the SLNB carried out at our center during 2012, when we stopped performing an axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) after the finding of a micrometastasis, with those conducted in 2018, when we started applying Z011 criteria. Materials and methods We have performed a comparative retrospective observational study, including cN0 BC patients that underwent a SLNB in 2012 versus those that underwent this procedure in 2018. Results A total of 174 patients from 2012 and 165 from 2018 were studied. We found significant differences between the 2groups: in 2018 there were fewer lobular invasive cancers (14 vs. 28) (P<0.05), a smaller mean pathological size(P<0.001), a higher proportion of HER2 and triple negative tumors (28 vs. 49; P<0.01) and, finally, an increase in use of neoadjuvant treatments (42.0 vs. 6.7%). Regarding axillary involvement, we observed a decrease in both the presence of a positive sentinel node (24.1% in 2018 vs. 42.4% in 2012; P<0.0001) as well as in the proportion of ALND performed (12.6% in 2018 vs. 21.2% in 2012) and the presence of positive non sentinel nodes after a ALND (59.1% vs. 74.3%; P=ns). Conclusion Although the 2018 cohort that underwent SLNB had more aggressive tumors, there were fewer positive SN and ALND performed. This is probably due to a more accurate radiological diagnosis with ultrasound, that enables to detect cN1 cases before surgery, and to the increasing use of neoadjuvant treatments that may downstage the axilla (AU)

We report the presentation and management of 17 cases of Exophiala dermatitidis and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa bloodstream infections caused by a compounded parenteral medication at an oncology clinic. Twelve patients were asymptomatic. All central venous catheters were removed and antifungal therapy, primarily voriconazole, was administered to patients. Three patients died.

Reaction of the vanadium(V) imide [V(NAr)Cl(3)(THF)] (Ar = 2,6-C(6)H(3)(i)()Pr(2)) with the diamino-pyridine derivative MeC(2-C(5)H(4)N)(CH(2)NHSiMe(2)(t)()Bu)(2) (abbreviated as H(2)N'(2)N(py)) gave modest yields of the vanadium(IV) species [V(NAr)(H(3)N'N' 'N(py))Cl(2)] (1 where H(3)N'N' 'N(py) = MeC(2- C(5)H(4)N)(CH(2)NH(2))(CH(2)NHSiMe(2)(t)()Bu) in which the original H(2)N'(2)N(py) has effectively lost SiMe(2)(t)()Bu (as ClSiMe(2)(t)()Bu) and gained an H atom. Better behaved reactions were found between the heavier Group 5 metal complexes [M(NR)Cl(3)(py)(2)] (M = Nb or Ta, R = (t)()Bu or Ar) and the dilithium salt Li(2)[N(2)N(py)] (where H(2)N(2)N(py) = MeC(2-C(5)H(4)N)(CH(2)NHSiMe(3))(2)), and these yielded the six-coordinate M(V) complexes [M(NR)Cl(N(2)N(py))(py)] (M = Nb, R = (t)()Bu 2; M = Ta, R = (t)()Bu 3 or Ar 4). The compounds 2-4 are fluxional in solution and undergo dynamic exchange processes via the corresponding five-coordinate homologues [M(NR)Cl(N(2)N(py))]. Activation parameters are reported for the complexes 2 and 3. In the case of 2, high vacuum tube sublimation afforded modest quantities of [Nb(N(t)()Bu)Cl(N(2)N(py))] (5). The X-ray crystal structures of the four compounds 1, 2, 3, and 4 are reported.
RESUMO
A comprehensive study into the coordination chemistry of two C3-chiral tripodal amido ligands has been carried out. The amido ligands contain a trisilylmethane backbone and chiral peripheral substituents. The amine precursors. HC(SiMe2NH[(S)-1-phenylethyl]]3 (1) and HC[SiMe2NH[(R)-1-indanyl]]3 (2) were found to be in equilibrium in solution with the cyclic diamines HC[SiMe2N[(S)-1-phenylethyl]2](SiMe2NH-[(S)-1-phenylethyl]] (3) and HC[SiMe2NH[(R)-1-indanyl]][SiMe2NH[(R)-1-indanyl]) (4), which are generated upon ejection of one molecule of the chiral primary amine. Reaction of these equilibrium mixtures with three molar equivalents of butyllithium instantaneously gave the trilithium triamides HC[SiMe2N(Li)[(S)-1-phenylethyl]]3 (5) and HC[SiMe2N(Li)[(R)-1-indanyl]]3 (6), both of which were characterised by an X-ray diffraction study. Both lithium compounds possess a central heteroadamantane core, in which the two-coordinate Li atoms are additionally weakly solvated by the three aryl groups of the chiral peripheral substituents, the Li-C contacts being in the range of 2.65-2.73 A. Reaction of 5 and 6 with [TiCl4(thf)2] and ZrCl4 gave the corresponding amido complexes [TiCl-[HC[SiMe2N[(S)-1-phenylethyl]]3]] (7), [TiCl(HC[SiMe2N[(R)-1-indanyl]]3]] (8), [ZrCl[HC[SiMe2N[(S)-1-phenylethyl]]3]] (9) and [ZrCl[HC[SiMe2N[(R)-1-indanyl]]3]] (10), respectively. Of these, compound 7 was structurally characterised by X-ray structure analysis and was shown to possess a C3-symmetrical arrangement of the tripod ligand. The chiral anionic dinuclear complex [Li-(OEt2)4][Zr2Cl3[HC[SiMe2N[(S)-1-phenylethyl]]3]2] (11) was isolated from reaction mixtures leading to 9. An X-ray diffraction study established its dimeric structure, in which the chiral amido ligands cap the two metal centres, which are linked through three symmetrically arranged, bridging chloro ligands. Reaction of 9 and 10 with a series of alkyl Grignard and alkyllithium reagents yielded the corresponding alkylzirconium complexes. X-ray structure analyses of [Zr(CH3)[HC[SiMe2N[(S)-1-phenylethyl]]3]] (12) and [Zr(CH3)-[HC[SiMe2N)[(R)-1-indanyl]]3]] (20) established their detailed molecular arrangements. While the reaction of 12 with the aryl ketones PhC(O)R (R = CH = CHPh, iPr, Et) gave the corresponding C-O insertion products, which contain an additional chiral centre in the alkoxy group, with low stereoselectivity (0-40% de). The corresponding conversions with several aryl aldehydes yielded the alkoxo complexes with high stereoselectivity. Upon hydrolysis, the chiral alcohols were isolated and shown to have enantiomeric excesses between 68 and 82%. High stereodiscrimination was also observed in the insertion reactions of several chiral ketones and aldehydes. However, this was shown to originate primarily from the chirality of the substrate. In analogous experiments with carbonyl compounds, the ethyl- and butyl-zirconium analogues of 12 did not undergo CO insertion into the metal-alkyl bond. Instead, beta-elimination and formal insertion into the metal-hydride bond occurred. It was found that the elimination of the alkene was induced by
