Marine hypoxia caused by nutrient enrichment in coastal waters has become a global problem for decades, especially diel-cycling that occurs frequently the summer season. On contrary, sudden rainstorms, and freshwater discharge make salinity estuarine ecosystems variable, which often with hypoxia. We found mass mortality of Hong Kong oyster Crassostrea hongkongensis field where fluctuation co-oc...

The primary aim of this work was to investigate the potential of bile salt, sodium taurocholate (NaTC), in improving the bioavailability and anti-tumor efficacy of docetaxel (DCT) upon rectal administration. Poloxamer-based nanomicelles with thermosensitive and mucoadhesive properties were prepared using the cold method. The optimized nanomicellar formulation was evaluated in terms of physicoch...

This article is intended to provide an overview of various aspects of clinical PET/CT. These include discussions of: (i) Important areas of clinical application; (ii) Opportunities in clinical research; (iii) Scanner and operating-mode considerations (e.g. BGO vs. LSO, LYSO or GSO scanners, 2D vs. 3D imaging). (iv) Study-specific considerations (e.g. patient preparation and positioning issues, ...

The trans-sialidase from the trypomastigote stage of Trypanosoma cruzi was metabolically labeled with [3H]-palmitic acid and purified by immunoprecipitation with a monoclonal antibody. The action of PI-PLC on the immunoprecipitate released a lipid that was analyzed by TLC. Lyso-1-O-hexadecylglycerol and N-palmitoyl-sphinganine were obtained in a 1:3 ratio. A comparison with the GPI anchors pres...
