Tai wan and through out the world. The ma jor ity of non-small cell lung can cer (NSCLC) pa tients de velop met a static dis ease in their dis ease course; thus, sys temic che mo ther apy plays an im por tant role. The new chemo therapeutic drugs (vinorelbine, taxanes, and gem citabine) and their com bi na tions with cisplatin, have shown better re sponse rates and sur vival when com pared with...

A selective separation and recycling system for metal ions was developed by homogeneous liquid-liquid extraction (HoLLE) using a fluorosurfactant. Sixty-two different elemental ions (e.g., Ag, Al, As, Au, B, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Ce, Co, Cr, Cu, Dy, Er, Eu, Fe, Ga, Gd, Ge, Hf, Hg, Ho, In, Ir, La, Lu, Mg, Mn, Mo, Nb, Nd, Ni, Os, P, Pb, Pd, Pr, Pt, Re, Rh, Ru, Sb, Sc, Se, Si, Sm, Sn, Sr, Ta, Tb, Te...

A side effect of high level waste vitrification at 1100 °C is the volatilization radioactive cesium (Cs), recaptured further on in process as a solid aerosol by dust scrubber. Feedback from industry suggests that Cs combines with technetium (Tc) – simulated here rhenium (Re), chosen for its similar behavior to form volatile species. This work characterized and formation. The first experiment in...

We have constructed a strain of Azotobacter vinelandii which has deletions in the genes for both the molybdenum (Mo) and vanadium (V) nitrogenases. This strain fixed nitrogen in medium that did not contain Mo or V. Growth and nitrogenase activity were inhibited by Mo and V. In highly purified medium, growth was limited by iron. Addition of other metals (Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Re, Ti, W, and Zn) di...

The in creas ing in ter est in mo lec u lar sys tems ex hib it ing ESIPT re ac tion has trig gered – due to their broad field of po ten tial ap pli ca tions – an ex ten sive search for prop erly sub sti tuted com pounds with well-tai lored prop er ties. This re view is based on se lected pa pers deal ing with some com monly known ESIPT sys tems mod i fied by spe cific sub stitu ents. The re sul...

The transition metal ions, Cr‡ , Mo‡ , W‡ and Re‡, abstract one or more fluorine atoms or CmFn groups (m = 1,2; n = 1–5) in collisions with fluorocarbon self-assembled monolayers (F-SAMs). The number of atoms abstracted increases with collision energy, and with W‡ and Re‡ it is possible to maximize a specific scattered product ion by selecting the appropriate collision energy. The collision ene...

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate anti-nociceptive effects of morphine, tramadol, meloxicam and their combinations in rats. Seventy male Wistar rats were divided into seven equal groups and randomly assigned to receive intraperitoneal saline (S) (control group, 1.0 mL kg-1), morphine (MO) (4.0 mg kg-1), tramadol (TR) (12.5 mg kg-1), meloxicam (ML)...
