OBJECTIVE We aimed to explore the effect of Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) on loss of renal function and cyst progression compared to rapamycin in Han: SPRD rats. We also sought to assess whether the effect of combination therapy of MMF plus rapamycin was better than that of monotherapy. METHODS Sixty heterozygous (Cy/+) and littermate control (+/+) male Han: SPRD rats were weaned at 4 weeks of ...

When user terminals powered by a finite battery source are used for wireless communications, energy constraints are likely to influence the desigdchoice of media access protocols. In th is paper, we analyze the energy efficiency of a multichannel wireless access protocol using a finite energy source in a mobile radio environment. The average number of correctly transmitted packets for a given a...

The antitumour activities of four triorganophosphinegold(I) thiolates, R(2)PAu(S'R) [R = Ph, Cy, Et; SR'H = 6-mercaptopurine and R Et; SR'H = 6-thioguanine] against the National Cancer Institute (NCI) panel of 60 cell lines are reported The [Cy(3)PAu(6-MP)] complex proved to be the more cytotoxic of the four complexes tested. For the 6-MP series, an order of cytotoxicity was established such th...

Analysis of the morphological and immunologic [surface (Sm Ig) and cytoplasmic (Cy Ig) immunoglobulin, faintness (f.imfl) or brightness (b.imfl) of surface immunofluorescence, rosette formation with mouse erythrocytes (MR), or sheep red cells coated with C3 (EAC)] characteristics of the neoplastic lymphocytes involved in 137 cases of B-cell leukemias allowed the differentiation of the following...

Objective: To explore how content analysis can be used together with linking rules to link texts on assessment and intervention to the International Classification of Functioning , Disability and Health – version for children and youth (ICF-CY). Methods: Individual habilitation plans containing texts on assessment and intervention for children with disabilities and their families were linked to...

The antitumor effect of an immunomodulator, polyadenylic-polyuridylic acid, in combination with cyclophosphamide (CY) was studied in C3H/He mice bearing established mammary tumors. On Day 14 after tumor graft, mice received either CY (90 mg/kg) alone every 2 weeks for a total of four inoculations or alternate weekly inoculations of the same dose of CY and polyadenylic-polyuridylic acid (300 mic...

OBJECTIVE This study explored how professionals in inter-disciplinary teams perceived the implementation of the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, version for Children and Youth (ICF-CY) in Swedish habilitation services. DESIGN Descriptive longitudinal mixed-methods design. METHODS Following participation in a 2-day in-service tra...

Cyclophosphamide (CY) is a cytostatic agent that produces systemic toxicity especially on cells with high proliferative capacity, while polysaccharides from Angelica sinensis (AP) have been shown to increase the turnover of gastrointestinal mucosal and hemopoietic stem cells. It is not known whether AP has an effect on CY-induced cytotoxicity on bone marrow and gastrointestinal tract. In this s...

The Children's Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (CY-BOCS) is one of the most popular measures of symptom severity for childhood obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This study describes the factor structure of the CY-BOCS. A total of 233 children diagnosed with OCD were evaluated with the CY-BOCS. The results indicated that 2 alternate 2-factor solutions (obsessions and compulsions; severi...
