IN SITU GEL POLYMERS: A REVIEW
In situ gels have become one of the most prominent and accessible systems. These systems have several advantages like simple manufacturing, easy to use, improved adherence, and patient comfort by minimizing drug administration frequency by its unique characteristic features of sol to gel transition. In the 'sol-gel' method, the precursor goes through hydrolysis and polymerization or condensation to produce a colloidal suspension or solution. As they can administer in solution form, these in situ gelling systems undergo gelation at the achievement site. Some researchers recently developed in situ gelling systems of liposomes, microspheres, nanoemulsions, nanospheres, etc. This review mainly focused on the introduction, advantages, disadvantages, types of polymers, and suitable characteristics for preparing in situ gels
A New, Practical One-Pot Synthesis of Unprotected Sulfonimidamides by Transfer of Electrophilic NH to Sulfinamides
Unprotected tertiary sulfonimidamides have been prepared in good to excellent yields in a oneâpot transformation from tertiary sulfinamides through NH transfer. The reaction is mediated by commercially available (diacetoxyiodo)benzene and ammonium carbamate in methanol under convenient conditions. A wide range of functional groups are tolerated and initial results indicate that the NH transfer is stereospecific. A small molecule Xâray analysis of NH sulfonimidamide 2âa and its behavior in selected inâ
vitro assays in comparison to the matched sulfonamide are also reported. This new reaction provides a safe, short and efficient approach to sulfonimidamides, which have been the subject of recent, growing interest in the life sciences
Exploration of novel chemical space: synthesis and in vitro evaluation of N-functionalized tertiary sulfonimidamides
An unprecedented set of structurally diverse sulfonimidamides (47â
compounds) has been prepared by various Nâfunctionalization reactions of tertiary =NH sulfonimidamide 2âaa. These Nâfunctionalization reactions of model compoundâ
2âaa include arylation, alkylation, trifluoromethylation, cyanation, sulfonylation, alkoxycarbonylation (carbamate formation) and aminocarbonylation (urea formation). Small molecule Xâray analyses of selected Nâfunctionalized products are reported. To gain further insight into the properties of sulfonimidamides relevant to medicinal chemistry, a variety of structurally diverse reaction products were tested in selected in vitro assays. The described Nâfunctionalization reactions provide a short and efficient approach to structurally diverse sulfonimidamides which have been the subject of recent, growing interest in the life sciences

Pathology of nasal mass lesions in a tertiary care center in Hyderabad, Telangana, India â A retrospective three years study
Background: The aim of the study was to identify the pattern of pathologies involving nasal mass lesions which were received for histopathological evaluation at a tertiary hospital in Hyderabad during the period January 2014 to December 2016.
Methods: The data pertaining to samples of nasal mass lesions received for histopathological evaluation at the laboratory of a tertiary care hospital in Hyderabad from January 2014 to December 2016 were analyzed to determine the pattern of pathologies diagnosed during such evaluation and the age distribution of all lesions.
Results: A total of 62 specimens labeled as nasal masses were received during the period studied. The majority of patients, whose samples were received, were in the age group of 21 â 30 years [35.48%], with very few patients from either extreme of age. Inflammatory nasal polyp was the most common histopathological diagnosis given [26 out of 62 cases, 41.93%] followed by allergic nasal polyp [19 out of 62 cases, 30.64%]. Only one lesion was diagnosed as malignant [squamous cell carcinoma]
Conclusion: The majority of nasal mass lesions received for evaluation were inflammatory or else allergic nasal polyps. Most patients were in the third decade of life
Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms-experience from a tertiary care centre
Introduction: Solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPN/FRANTZ TUMOUR) of the pancreas are rare neoplasms of low grade malignant potential which were first described in 1959 by Frantz. These account for 0.13â2.7% of pancreatic neoplasms and approximately 13% of surgically resected cystic lesions of the pancreas. We present our experience with these rare tumors.
Methods: Total 406 patients with pancreatic tumours were admitted in our department during the 10year period (Between 2007 and 2017) were reviewed, only 18 were diagnosed as having SPN(4.4%). Clinico-pathological details, intervention done and follow up of all the cases were studied and reported here.
Results: 17 patients were woman and1was Man with median age of 23 years (range 11 to 54 years). The tumor size ranged from 3.8 to17cm (average 6.4 cm).12 patients presented with pain in the abdomen, 4 presented with a painless mass, 1 was detected incidentally and1presented with Malena. In 7 patients the tumor was in the pancreatic head, in 3 it was in the neck, and in the remaining 8 it is in the body and tail. CECT was done in all cases. 8 patients under went Distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy, 1 underwent a PPPD, 6 patients required classical Whipple operation. 3 underwent central pancreatectomy. Immuno histochemistry showed positivity for beta catenin, vimentin, PR receptor and chromogranin negativity. All 18 patients were free of disease in a median follow- up period of 32 months (range 6 â 84) months.
Conclusion: SPNs are rare neoplasms, typically affecting young women without notable symptoms, with a low malignant potential but excellent prognosis. Radical surgical resection with clear margins is the treatment of choice
