b a c k g r o u n d & aim: the excess hazard rate proposed by andersen and vaeth may underestimate the long-term excess hazard rate for cancer survival. zahl explained the phenomenon by continuous selection of the most robust individuals after diagnosis. he applied correlated inverse gaussian and gamma  frailty  models  to estimate  excess  intensity  and reached  a better  estimate  of the rat...

Using cell based screening assay, we identified a novel anti-tubulin agent (Z)-5-((5-(4-bromo-3-chlorophenyl)furan-2-yl)methylene)-2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one (BCFMT) that inhibited proliferation of human cervical carcinoma (HeLa) (IC(50), 7.2 ± 1.8 µM), human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) (IC(50), 10.0 ± 0.5 µM), highly metastatic breast adenocarcinoma (MDA-MB-231) (IC(50), 6.0 ± 1 µM), cisplati...

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the potential of a polymer-lipid hybrid nanoparticle (PLN) system to enhance cellular accumulation and retention of doxorubicin (Dox), a widely used anticancer drug and an established P-glycoprotein (Pgp) substrate, in Pgp-overexpressing cancer cell lines and to explore the underlying mechanisms. Nanoparticles containing Dox complexed with a novel a...

A new species of Apatemyidae, Sinclairella simplicidens, is based on four isolated teeth that were screenwashed from fissure fillings at the late Oligocene Buda locality, Alachua County, Florida. Compared to its only congener Sinclairella dakotensis, the new species is characterized by upper molars with more simplified crowns, with the near absence of labial shelves and stylar cusps except for ...

although the majority of the patients with traumatic brain injury presents with injuries involving the extremities, there was a clear paucity of adequate experimental polytrauma models. to close this gap, we conducted several studies to establish two different polytrauma mice models including both closed and open traumatic brain injury. male c57bl mices with a mean weight of 23g were anesthetiz...

the impact of climatic variations on basal area growth of basswood (ba) (tilia americana l.), american beech (be) (fagus grandifolia enrh.), bitternut hickory (bh) (caria cordiformis (wang.) k. koch), largetooth aspen (la) (populus grandidentata michx.), red maple (rm) (acer rubrum l.), red oak (ro) (quercus rubra l.), sugar maple (sm) (acer saccharum marsh.), and white ash (wa) (fraxinus a...

precipitation and air temperature data, only, are often recorded at meteorological stations, with radiation beingmeasured at very few weather stations, especially in developing countries. therefore there arises a need for suitablemodels to estimate solar radiation for a completion of data sets. this paper is about an evaluation of eight models foran estimation of daily solar radiation (q) from ...
