In the title compound, C(10)H(12)ClN(3)OS, the -C=N-N-C- chain bridging the ethyl-imino group and the benzene ring adopts an extended conformation with a C-N-N-C torsion angle of -171.98 (11)°. The imino H atom of the chain is a hydrogen-bond donor to the S atom of an inversion-related mol-ecule, forming a supra-molecular dimer. The hy-droxy H atom is intra-molecularly hydrogen bonded to the az...

E-cadherin, a member of the cadherin family, plays a major role in cell-cell adhesion of normal epithelium. Recent studies have shown that reduction or loss of E-cadherin expression in carcinomas have some relationship with their clinicopathological manifestation including invasion and metastasis. In the present study, we have established cell clones with different E-cadherin expression from hu...

A sensitive and effective method for the simultaneous quantitative determination of procymidone, pyridaben and beta-cypermethrin residues in tea solutions was developed and validated using a gas chromatograph (GC) equipped with an electron capture detector (ECD). The analysis of the three pesticides in tea solutions involved extraction with petroleum ether-ethyl acetate (3:1, v/v), cleanup usin...

Distribution and levels of octopamine (OA), one of the biogenic amines in the invertebrate nervous system, may have significant effects on insect physiological processes including growth, feeding and reproduction. In this paper capillary gas chromatography with electron capture detection (GC-ECD) and mass selective detection (GC-MS) were used to determine the content of OA in Blattella germanic...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the impact of basilar artery (BA) vasospasm on outcome in patients with severe vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). METHODS Sixty-five patients with clinically suspect severe cerebral vasospasm after aSAH underwent cerebral angiography before endovascular treatment. Vasospasm severity was assessed fo...

UNLABELLED The purpose of this study was to assess the normal perfusion pattern of the pediatric brain with 99mTc-ethylcysteinate dimer (99mTc-ECD). METHODS Tomographic imaging was performed with a dedicated system with high sensitivity and resolution. Sixteen children, referred for brain imaging in the workup of seizure disorder, were included since they turned out negative after a 1-yr foll...

BACKGROUND Studies have shown that antibodies targeting the intracellular (ICD) or extracellular domains (ECD) of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) are equivalent when traditional methods are used. We describe a new method to quantify ICD and ECD expression separately and assess the prognostic value of domain-specific HER2 results in patients who received adjuvant trastuzumab ther...

A radio frequency-free electromagnetostatic (EMS) cell devised for electron-capture dissociation (ECD) of ions has been retrofitted into the collision-induced dissociation (CID) section of a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer to enable recording of ECD product-ion mass spectra and simultaneous recording of ECD-CID product-ion mass spectra. This modified instrument can be used to produce easily...

Gas chromatography-electron capture detector (GC-ECD) is used to extract and analyse pesticides in vegetable samples collected from Cameron Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia. The limit of detection (LOD) for all was the range 0.03 4.5 ng g-1. Recoveries cabbage, lettuce, celery ranged 61.8%-121%, 60-128% 60%-114%, respectively. relative standard deviation (RSD) 0.2-15% 0.5-18% lettuce 3-19.8% celery....
