[Vacuum sealing drainage as an adjuvant treatment of penile and scrotal gangrene: Clinical analysis of 4 cases].

Objective: To search for an optimal strategy for the treatment of penile and scrotal gangrene by analyzing the clinical effect of vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) as an adjuvant treatment on this disease.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data about 4 cases of penile and scrotal gangrene treated by VSD as an adjuvant treatment from January 2015 to June 2016. The 4 patients all underwent early extensive and radical debridement of gangrene of the scrotum and penis and received intravenous injection of two broad-spectrum antibiotics, followed by VSD for wound drainage and irrigation.

[Impact of zearalenone on male fertility: An update].

Zearalenone (ZEA) is a nonsteroidal estrogen-like mycotoxin widely distributed in maize, wheat, rice and other cereals with its derivants. It also presents in meat or dairy products or even in the aquatic ecosystem via rain, and thus can affect human health. ZEA affects the body function in various ways.

Diaqua-[N,N'-bis-(3-carboxy-prop-2-enoyl)pyridine-2,6-dicarbo-hydrazidato(2-)]cadmium(II) N,N-dimethyl-formamide disolvate.

In the title complex, [Cd(C(15)H(11)N(5)O(8))(H(2)O)(2)]·2C(3)H(7)NO, the Cd(II) ion is located on a twofold rotation axis and is seven-coordinated in a distorted penta-gonal-bipyramidal manner. The asymmetric unit comprises one metal ion, one doubly deprotonated N,N'-bis-(3-carboxy-prop-2-eno-yl)pyridine-2,6-dicarbohydrazide ligand, two coordinating water mol-ecules and two dimethyl-formamide solvent mol-ecules. In the crystal, a two-dimensional network is formed through N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

(Methanolato)(pyridine)[N,N-(pyridine-2,6-diyldicarbon-yl)diacetohydra-zide(2-)]iron(III) methanol solvate.

In the title complex, [Fe(C(11)H(10)N(5)O(4))(CH(3)O)(C(5)H(5)N)]·CH(4)O, the Fe(III) ion has a distorted penta-gonal-bipyramidal geometry. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked into one-dimensional chains along [1] via inter-molecular O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
