Objective: Rhenium is one of the most valuable elements for internal radiotherapy because Re and Re have favorable physical characteristics. However, there are problems when proteins such as antibodies are used as carriers of Re. Labeling methods that use bifunctional chelating agents such as MAG3 require the conjugation of the Re complex to protein after radiolabeling with the bifunctional che...

Introduction: Previously, 186Re and 188Re radioisotopes have been produced through appropriate activities, and each of them has been used for therapeutic applications. The 186Re and 188Re have unique properties, which make them proper for the treatment of  tumors in different sizes. The long-range 188Re, is suitabl...

Acinetobacter baumannii are Gram-negative bacilli that pose a constant threat to susceptible patients because of increased resistance to multiple antibiotics and persistence in the hospital environment. After genome analysis, we discovered that A. baumannii harbors genes that share homology to an enzymatic pathway that elongates long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) in fungi. Previously, 1,2,4-triazoli...

AIM The present study investigates synergistic effect of combination treatment of lycopene, quercetin and poloxamer188 in 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NP)-induced Huntington's disease (HD). MATERIALS AND METHODS Anxiety and depression were induced in male Wistar rat by intra-peritoneal administration of 3-NP (10 mg/kg) for 14 days. Body weight was assessed on day 1, 7 and 14, whereas locomotion, ...

The aims of this study were to prepare a thermosensitive composite hydrogel (TCH) by mixing 24% (w/v) poloxamer 407 (P407), 16% (w/v) poloxamer 188 (P188) and 0.1% (w/v) carbopol 940 (C940), and to determine the effect of natural borneol/ (2-hydroxypropyl)-β-cyclodextrin (NB/HP-β-CD) inclusion complex on the phase transition temperature, mechanical, rheological properties, and release behaviors...

Cervical cancer caused by the infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV) remains the fourth leading killer of women worldwide. Therefore, more efficacious treatments are needed. We are developing radioimmunotherapy (RIT) of HPV-positive cervical cancers by targeting E6 and E7 viral oncoproteins expressed by the cancer cells with the radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). To investigate t...

The siphon indices, branching of setae 5-C and 6-C, lengths of 5-C compared to the lengths of 6-C, length of the most proximal seta 1-S compared to the siphon length, and the occurrence of a paler abdominal segment IV were compared among Culex apicalis, Cx. boharti and Cx. territans larvae. These characters in Cx. territans were found to be much more variable than previously recognized, and oft...

This paper presents a common fixed point theorem for a family of R-weakly commuting mappings satisfying nonlinear type contractive conditions. This result improves and unifies previous results due to O’Regan and Saadati [D. O’Regan, R. Saadati, Nonlinear contraction theorems in probabilistic spaces, Appl. Math. Comput. 195 (2008) 86–93]. Also, the following results will be probabilistic version...

The impact deformation and fracture behaviour of cobalt-based Haynes 188 superalloy are investigated by means of a split Hopkinson pressure bar. Impact tests are performed at strain rates ranging from 1×103 s-1 to 5×103 s-1 and temperatures between 25°C and 800°C. The experimental results indicate that the flow response and fracture characteristics of cobalt-based Haynes 188 superalloy are sign...
