The immunization of rabbits with cells of mouse leukemia L1210 has been studied. The immune process was dissected into its †̃yMand †̃yGcomponents. The main objective was the preparation of antisera with high cytolytic potencies. A single i.v. injection of viable Ll2lO cells produced a classical immune response in rabbits, with -yM antibody activity first detected on Day 4, maximal on Day 6, a...

This paper discusses medical action, homeopathic action in particular, from a semiotic perspective. Any doctor – patient relation and communication aims at an action. Action medicine follows decision which is determined by the meaning of signs operations with signs. In their turn, are conditioned perception interpretation they have to receivers, both intra- intersubjectively. T...

Let X be a nonempty finite set, ∆(X) = { p : X → [0, 1] | Px∈X p(x) = 1}, and let % denote a binary relation on ∆(X). As usual, Â and ∼ denote the asymmetric and symmetric parts of % . In our nomenclature elements of X are outcomes (or consequences or prizes), elements of ∆(X) are lotteries, and % is the preference relation. Axioms: A1 the relation % is complete and transitive. A2 (continuity) ...

Barrett's esophagus is a premalignant condition arising in response to chronic reflux esophagitis. Inducible nitric oxide synthase (¡NOS;NOS-2) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) are mediators of inflammation and regu lators of epithelial cell growth. Expression levels of ¡NOSand COX-2 are high in colorectal adenomas and carcinomas, and COX-2 expression is elevated in gastric cancers. To determine ...

C —¿ > T transitions at CpG sites are the most prevalent mutations found in the p53 tumor suppressor gene in human colon tumors and in the germline (Li-Fraumeni syndrome). All of the mutational hot spots are methylated to 5-methylcytosine, and it has been hypothesized that the majority of these mutations are caused by spontaneous hydrolytic deamination of this base to thymine. We have previou...

The efficacy of present day antineoplastic regimens depends upon the delivery and penetration of therapeutic agents through the tumor vas cular and interstitial spaces to the tumor cell target. The distribution of relevant molecules or cells in a solid tumor is often poor and heteroge neous and is believed to be due to a number of pathophysiological factors, including elevated interstitial flui...

in this paper a comparative analysis of two poems entitled â« phoenix â» by nima and â«l’albatros â» by baudelaire will be done. it, initially, tries to investigate the symbolism used by these two poets. then a comparative analysis is made from structural and thematic points of view. by comparing and contrasting the potential similarities and differences in these poems, an attempt is made to ...

the Nuclear Regulatory Com mission (NRC) by the Society ofNuclear Medicine and the American College ofNuclear Physiciansover four years ago is finally getting some response. The reaction from the peti tion's original author, however, has been less than favorable. Carol S. Marcus, PhD, MD, Director of Nuclear Medicine and Outpatient Clinic atHarbor-UCLAMedicalCenter and the principalauthorof the...

This paper presents the results of conceptual research on nature and operation visual signs in homeopathic clinical practice. Aims: to analyze role homeopathy together with their specific semiotic structure correlation codes leading possible significations then assess possibility establishing coherence between symptoms patients. Methodology: Sign-complexes are approached through a four-stage mo...
