The condition was assessed in terms of prognosis, adverse effects, and quality of life. This randomized trial involved nine centers across China. Eligible patients were randomized to receive adjuvant chemotherapy or CCRT after surgery. The primary end-point was progression-free survival (PFS). From December 2012 to December 2014, 337 patients were subjected to randomization. Final analysis included 329 patients, including 165 in the adjuvant chemotherapy group and 164 in the adjuvant CCRT group. The median follow-up was 72.1 months. The three-year PFS rates were both 91.9%, and the five-year OS was 90.6% versus 90.0% in adjuvant chemotherapy and CCRT groups, respectively. No significant differences were observed in the PFS or OS between groups. The adjusted HR for PFS was 0.854 (95% confidence interval 0.415–1.757;P = 0.667) favoring adjuvant chemotherapy, excluding the predefined non-inferiority boundary of 1.9. The chemotherapy group showed a tendency toward good quality of life. In comparison with post-operative adjuvant CCRT, adjuvant chemotherapy treatment showed non-inferior efficacy in patients with early-stage cervical cancer having pathological risk factors. Adjuvant chemotherapy alone is a favorable alternative post-operative treatment.展开更多

Compounds 1 and 2 both crystallize in the orthorhombic space group P212121. Compound 3 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P43. Compound 1 exhibits a ladder-like 1D chain structure, which is extended by hydrogen-bonding interactions to form a 3D supramolecular network. Compounds 2 and 3 both give a diamond-like 3D structure. Besides, there are hydrogen-bonding interactions in 2. The structural difference indicates that the solvent system plays a crucial role in modulating structures of coordination compounds. Circular dichroism (CD) and the magnetic properties of the compounds have also been investigated.展开更多
