PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate 99mTc-ethylenedicysteine-glucosamine (EC-DG) for the assessment of tumor growth. METHOD To evaluate whether 99mTc-EC-DG is involved in cell nuclei activity, in vitro thymidine incorporation, and cell-cycle assays of EC-DG were conducted using lung and breast cancer cells. Biodistribution of 99mTc-EC-DG in lung tumor-bearing mice (0.5-4 hours, 1 Ci...

2-Deoxyglucose (2-DG) is a toxic glucose analog. To identify genes involved in 2-DG toxicity in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, we screened a wild-type overexpression library for genes which render cells 2-DG resistant. A gene we termed odr1, encoding an uncharacterized hydrolase, led to strong resistance and altered invertase expression when overexpressed. We speculate that Odr1 neutralizes the tox...

The success of transplants of neural tissue into the adult dentate gyrus in generating mature neurons is highly variable. Here we address the roles of the origin of the tissue and its pre-implantation preparation, and show that both are critical. We transplanted neonatal cultured or primary rat cells from either the ventral subventricular zone (vSVZ) or the dentate gyrus (DG) into the adult rat...

The Balaban index of a connected graph G is defined as J(G) = |E(G)| μ+ 1 ∑ e=uv∈E(G) 1 √ DG(u)DG(v) , and the Sum-Balaban index is defined as SJ(G) = |E(G)| μ+ 1 ∑ e=uv∈E(G) 1 √ DG(u)+DG(v) , where DG(u) = ∑ w∈V (G) dG(u,w), and μ is the cyclomatic number of G. In this paper, the unicyclic graphs with the maximum Balaban index and the maximum Sum-Balaban index among all unicyclic graphs on n v...

Consider a field k of characteristic p > 0, G(r) the r-th Frobenius kernel of a smooth algebraic group G, DG(r) the Drinfeld double of G(r), and M a finite dimensional DG(r)-module. We prove that the cohomology algebra H(DG(r), k) is finitely generated and that H(DG(r),M) is a finitely generated module over this cohomology algebra. We exhibit a finite map of algebras θr : H(G(r), k) ⊗ S(g) → H(...

Distributed generators are very much beneficial in reducing the losses effectively compared to other methods of loss reduction .In this paper optimal size of DG unit operated at optimal power factor is dealt. DG unit placement using fuzzy logic and sizing of DG at any power factor is calculated using analytical method . Voltage and power loss reduction indices of distribution system nodes are m...

Measurement of urinary 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG) has recently become more popular as a means of assessing oxidative stress in the human body. Although using high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLC-ECD) is a reliable method of measuring 8-oxo-dG, easier and simpler alternative methods may be preferred, if they are quantitatively accurate. ...

conventional passive distribution networks are changing to modern active distribution networks which are not radial. conventional load flow methods should be modified for new distribution networks analysis. in modern distribution networks distributed generation (dg) units are embedded with conventional and/or renewable resources. dg units are generally modeled as pv or pq nodes which inject ...
