Trichloroethylene (TRI) has been shown to cause a variety of tumors, particularly in mouse liver and lung and rat kidney. However, a clear association between exposure to TRI and cancer development in humans has not been established. Because TRI metabolism by cytochrome P450s has been implicated in the mechanisms of TRI-induced carcinogenicity in mice, the purpose of the present study was to ch...

conclusions serum t4 and tsh levels in depressive patients were found to be significantly higher than those of the control group, indicating the association between serum t4 and tsh levels and depression in the subjects in 2010 - 2011 in hamedan, northwestern iran. objectives in this study, the serum levels of t3, t4, and tsh in patients with major depressive disorder have been compared to the ...

A strategy for selective mono-, di- and tri-O-methylation of kaempferol, predominantly on the basis of selective benzylation and controllable deacetylation of kaempferol acetates, was developed. From the selective deacetylation and benzylation of kaempferol tetraacetate (1), 3,4',5,-tri-O-acetylkaempferol (2) and 7-O-benzyl-3,4'5,-tri-O-acetylkaempferol (8) were obtained, respectively. By contr...

Tri a Bd 27K, a major wheat allergen, is a glycoprotein. Tri a Bd 27K was found to occur in multiple forms by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting with a monoclonal antibody against the allergen. Furthermore, it was found that only Tri a Bd 27K components, which have N-linked glycan moieties with fucose residues, bound to IgE antibodies in the sera of wheat-sens...

PURPOSE To develop a tri-modality image fusion method for better target delineation in image-guided radiotherapy for patients with brain tumors. METHODS A new method of tri-modality image fusion was developed, which can fuse and display all image sets in one panel and one operation. And a feasibility study in gross tumor volume (GTV) delineation using data from three patients with brain tumor...
