Conclusions The complexes of Co, Ni, Fe, and Cu with dimethyl- and diphenylglyoxime inhibit the initiated oxidation of cumene by reacting with the peroxide radicals.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 6, pp. 1342–1344, June, 1971.     

Synthesis of fused triazolothienopyrimidine derivatives

Reactions of substituted 1-(thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2-yl)-4-arylthiosemicarbazides with methyl iodide led to the formation of fused triazolothienopyrimidine derivatives.     

FLUORESCENCE SPECTRA IN LUNG WITH PORPHYRIN INJECTION

The fluorescence emission spectra from human bronchial mucosa and tumors, before and after injection of dihematoporphyrin ether/ester, have been measured with an optical multichannel analyzer from 500 to 750 nm. Fluorescence was excited with a violet krypton ion laser (average wavelength 410 nm). The autofluorescence spectra decrease monotonically with increasing wavelength except for a small broad peak near 600 nm. The spectra from tumor sites, after injection of the fluorescent porphyrin, exhibit the characteristic fluorescence emission at 630 and 690 nm, added to the autofluorescence spectrum. The spectra from control or nontumor sites are similar but the magnitude of the component due to the injected porphyrin is smaller than at a tumor site. The magnitude ratio of tumor to control site fluorescence depends on concentration of the porphyrin, tumor thickness, and time after injection. Autofluorescence degrades contrast and thus makes very thin tumors difficult to image. Subtraction of the autofluorescence background is desirable.
