We sought to investigate the effects of epirubicin-nanogold compounds (EPI-AuNP) on hepatocellular carcinoma xenograft growth in nude mice. EPI-AuNP was prepared and hepatoma xenograft model was established in nude mice. The mice were then randomly divided into four groups: the control group with injection of saline, the AuNP treatment group, the EPI treatment group and the EPI-AuNP treatment g...

Total outflow facility was determined in both eyes of cynomolgus monkeys by two-level constant pressure perfusion. After a baseline measurement, one eye of the experimental animal received intracameral cytochalasin B (CB); the other eye received vehicle without CB. Twenty minutes later both eyes received intracameral epinephrine (EPI), and 30 min later the outflow facility was again determined....

This study was designed to investigate the in vitro and in vivo antitumor effect on SGC-7901 gastric cancer cells by chemogenetherapy. SGC-7901 cells were treated by chemogenetherapy with Gendicine, a recombinant human Ad-p53 injection (rAd-p53), and epirubicin hydrochloride (EPI), a cytotoxic chemotherapy agent. Compared with blank control, rAd-p53, EPI, and combined therapy achieved SGC-7901 ...

We demonstrate the first reflection-based epi-illumination diffraction phase microscope with white light (epi-wDPM). The epi-wDPM system combines the off-axis, common-path, and white light approaches, in a reflection geometry enabling sub-nanometer spatial and temporal noise levels, while providing single-shot acquisition for opaque samples. We verified the epi-wDPM results by measuring control...

The glucoregulatory response to intense exercise [IE, >80% maximum O(2) uptake (VO(2 max))] comprises a marked increment in glucose production (R(a)) and a lesser increment in glucose uptake (R(d)), resulting in hyperglycemia. The R(a) correlates with plasma catecholamines but not with the glucagon-to-insulin (IRG/IRI) ratio. If epinephrine (Epi) infusion during moderate exercise were able to m...

the response to stat epi IM, number of delayed SRs, the dose of epi IM versus BMI and the World Allergy Organization (WAO) Grade (1-5) of the SRs. Methods: SRs were compiled from 07/2010 to 06/2011 to P and ID tests for any combination of approximately 20 allergens (pollens, animal emanations, molds and Hymenoptera) in 1,332 subjects. Nurses administered stat epi IM (1:1000 v/v), 0.2 mg IM, int...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Several studies have reported on the clinical utility of DWI in head and neck cancer, but none of these studies compared HASTE with EPI-DWI in patients with head and neck cancer. The aim of our study was to compare detection and delineation of primary tumors and lymph nodes by using HASTE and EPI-DWI techniques in patients with HNSCC. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twelve patien...

Introduction: Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) has been utilized as a useful contrast mechanism in MRI that accentuates the paramagnetic properties of blood products (1,2). With the use of both magnitude and phase images, SWI can provide improved conspicuity of venous blood vessels and other sources of susceptibility effects (2). Typically, the SWI acquisition uses a high-resolution, three...

INTRODUCTION Malnutrition is a frequent problem associated with detrimental clinical outcomes in critically ill patients. To avoid malnutrition, most studies focus on the prevention of inadequate nutrition delivery, whereas little attention is paid to the potential role of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). In this trial, we aim to evaluate the prevalence of EPI and identify its potential...
