A new N3S5-thiaazacrown ether was synthesized by high dilution method with a good yields. The reaction condition was mild and the products were easy to be purified. The structure of this new crown ether was characterized by IR, MS, NMR, and elemental analysis.

Background: Hydronephrosis (HDN) is the commonest renal anomaly detected on antenatal ultrasonography. There are at present controversies in its investigation and management. The study aims at assessing the outcome of antenatal hydronephrosis (ANH) in our setting and the factors determining the persistence postnatally, which would definitely be helpful for future prognostication. Material and Methods: A hospital based prospective cohort study was conducted to assess the postnatal persistence of ANH for a period of 2 years after obtaining clearance from human ethics committee.

A fluorescent probe derived from naphthalimide was successfully synthesized and characterized as an “off-on” type Cu2+-selective fluorescent probe. A prominent fluorescence enhancement at 430 nm was observed in the presence of Cu2+ in ethanol-water solution (5:5, v:v, pH 6.8, 50 mM HEPES). With the optimized experimental conditions, the probe exhibited a dynamic response rangeof 7.0×10-7-9.0×10-6 M for Cu2+, and the detection limit is2.3×10-7 M.
