OBJECTIVE Mepolizumab is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody that blocks human IL-5 from binding to the IL-5 receptor, which is mainly expressed on eosinophils. Eosinophils are key cells in the inflammatory cascade of various diseases, including asthma. This study investigated the pharmacokinetic (PK)/pharmacodynamic (PD) relationship between exposure of mepolizumab subcutaneous (SC) administr...

There is evidence to indicate that the high rates of coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction amongst Indians of Asian descent may be partly related to circulating nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA). As docosahexaenoic acid (DHA,22:6n-3) in NEFA form has been found to exhibit anti-platelet aggregatory and anti-arrhythmic potential in vitro, the effect of supplementary DHA was examined in ...

When estimating the absolute risk of cancer, the shape of the dose--response curve in the region of doses where actual exposure of man occurs is of crucial importance. This shape is equally important for the determination of relative risks, as in the comparison of risks from alternative energy sources. Experimental and epidemiological studies are, for various reasons, unable to give sufficientl...

The high dose gradients near the source characteristics of brachytherapy are equivalent to nefarious effects if unnoticed errors take place during patient treatment. In vivo dosimetry is only method quantify delivered dose. Previous studies this one, have characterized potential detectors that can be used as in dosimeter. Some them focused on tracking topic HDR brachytherapy. aim study perform ...

Introduction: Radiotherapy is one of the important treatment modalities in cancer treatment. To maintain procedure accuracy, phantom an essential tool for absolute dosimetry conformation and Quality Assurance routine cheek up. This work aims to study absorbed dose various phantoms hence make a comparison result with IAEA recommendation (TRS 398) daily QA Linac. Materials Methods: The experiment...

We experimentally evaluated the proton beam dose reproducibility, sensitivity, angular dependence and depth-dose relationships for a new Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) detector. The detector was fabricated with a thinner oxide layer and was operated at high-bias voltages. In order to accurately measure dose distributions, we developed a practical method for correctin...

Background: Due to the estrogen participation in modulating the proliferation and commitment of stem cells and the effects of miR-21 and miR-155 expression on reduced proliferation and colony formation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of estradiol on expression of miR-21 and miR-155 in the NB4 cell line, as an acute promyelocytic leukemia ...
