02, p = 0.423), while prostate specific antigen density remained an independent predictor (OR 4.89, p = 0.037). Prostate specific antigen. density was more accurate than prostate specific antigen to predict Gleason upgrading (AUC 0.61 vs 0.57, p = 0.030).\n\nConclusions: Prostate specific antigen density is a significant independent predictor of Gleason upgrading even when accounting for prostate specific antigen. This could be especially important in patients with

low risk prostate cancer who seek less invasive therapy such as active surveillance since potentially life threatening disease may be underestimated. Further studies are warranted to help evaluate the role of prostate specific antigen density in Gleason upgrading

and its significance for biochemical outcome.”
“High-yield synthesis check details of the Buparlisib iron-sulfur cluster [N(SiMe(3))(2){SC(NMe(2))(2))Fe(4)S(3)](2)(mu(6)-S) {mu-N(SiMe(3))(2))(2) (1), which reproduces the [8Fe-7S] core structure of the nitrogenase P(N)-cluster, has been achieved via two pathways: (1) FeN(SiMe(3))(2)(2) + HSTip (Tip = 2,4,6-(i)Pr(3)C(6)H(2)) + tetramethylthiourea (SC(NMe(2))(2)) + elemental sulfur (S(8)); and (2) Fe(3)N(SiMe(3))(2)(2)(mu-STip)(4) (2) + HSTip + SC(NMe(2))(2) + S(8). The thiourea and terminal amide ligands of 1 were found to be replaceable by thiolate ligands upon treatment with thiolate anions and thiols at -40 degrees C, respectively, and a series of [8Fe-7S] clusters bearing Ubiquitin inhibitor two to four thiolate ligands have been synthesized and their structures were determined by X-ray analysis. The structures of these model [8Fe-7S] clusters all closely resemble that of the reduced form of P-cluster (P(N)) having 8Fe(II) centers, while their 6Fe(II)-2Fe(III) oxidation states correspond to the oxidized form of P-cluster (P(OX)). The cyclic voltammograms of the [8Fe-7S] clusters reveal two quasi-reversible one-electron reduction processes,

leading to the 8Fe(II) state that is the same as the P(N)-cluster, and the synthetic models demonstrate the redox behavior between the two major oxidation states of the native P-cluster. Replacement of the SC(NMe2)2 ligands in 1 with thiolate anions led to more negative reduction potentials, while a slight positive shift occurred upon replacement of the terminal amide ligands with thiolates. The clusters 1, (NEt(4))(2)[N(SiMe(3))(2)(SC(6)H(4)-4-Me)Fe(4)S(3)](2)(mu(6)-S)mu-N(SiMe(3))(2)(2) (3a), and [(SBtp)SC(NMe(2))(2)Fe(4)S(3)](2)(mu(6)-S)mu-N(SiMe(3))(2)(2) (5; Btp = 2;6-(SiMe(3))(2)C(6)H(3)) are EPR silent at 4-100 K, and their temperature-dependent magnetic moments indicate a singlet ground state with antiferromagnetic couplings among the iron centers. The (57)Fe Mossbauer spectra of these clusters are consistent with the 6Fe(II)-2Fe(III) oxidation state, each exhibiting two doublets with an intensity ratio of ca.
