S32 ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASOUND / VOLUME 6 / SUPPLEMENT 1 / AUGUST 2017 session 14.7 min (10–25 min), fourth session 12.3 min (7–20 min); technical success of primary procedure was 98.1% (three procedures abandoned). Nasocystic drain 97 patients (59.8%), necrosectomy–first session 65 patients (40.1%), necrosectomy– second session 57 patients (35.1%), necrosectomy–third session 38 patients (23.4%), ne...

To determine the specificity of suggested endophenotypes of pediatric bipolar disorder (PBD), the performance of 15 euthymic children with PBD was contrasted with that of 20 children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a population with reportedly similar executive dysfunction, and 18 children with both PBD and ADHD. Children with PBD and PBD+ADHD (ages 8 to 17) demonstrated h...

1 Sir: F its usefulness, cheapness, and scarless healing, drainage with a venous infusion catheter1,2 is used worldwide with some modifications. In our institute, this kind of drain is routinely used during implant-based breast reconstruction on patients with low risk of hematomas. Our method of preparation is very simple: peeling off one side of the outer plastic cannula of a 16-gauge venous i...

Preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) prior to pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is still controversial; therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the impact of PBD on complications following PD. A meta-analysis was carried out for all relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs), prospective and retrospective studies published from inception to March 2015 that compared PBD and non-PBD (immediate ...

A 2-fluoro-substituted pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepine (PBD) dimer with a 1,4-di-n-propyl piperazine linker was studied with respect to its binding and crosslinking capability towards double-helical DNA targets. Duplex thermal stabilizations upon drug binding as measured by UV melting experiments suggest that two guanine bases separated by four AT base pairs constitute the favorable binding s...

UNLABELLED Pediatric bipolar disorder (PBD) is a severely debilitating illness, which is characterized by episodes of mania and depression separated by periods of remission. Previous fMRI studies investigating PBD were mainly task-related. However, little is known about the abnormalities in PBD, especially during resting state. Resting state brain activity measured by fMRI might help to explore...

The polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) is a critical regulator of cell division that is overexpressed in many types of tumors. Thus, a strategy in the treatment of cancer has been to target the kinase activity (ATPase domain) or substrate-binding domain (Polo-box Domain, PBD) of Plk1. However, only few synthetic small molecules have been identified that target the Plk1-PBD. Here, we have applied an inte...

Recently, several research results have been reported on the integration of electronics with textiles such as the wearable computer and e-textiles [1-3]. Most of the previous works were based mainly on conducting threads, yarns, and woven fabrics to implement the interconnections, like the wearable motherboard [4]. For the integration of the IC with fabric, they placed the silicon chip on a fle...

this experiment was carried out to increase the shelf life and maintaining the quality of mango (mangifera indica) fruits. there were two factors. factor a: postharvest treatments with six levels (1. untreated (control), 2. washing with chlorine, 3. dipping (5 minutes) in calcium chloride (cacl2), 4. dipping (5 minutes) in bavistin and rinse in clean water, 5. hot water treatment and 6. tap wat...

Development and differentiation of lateral thyroid were investigated histologically upon the serial sections of the rat embryos. On the 11th day of gestation, the "third pharyngobranchial duct" (3. PBD) develops from the third pouch and elongates rapidly downward. The "fourth pharyngobranchial duct" (4. PBD) develops transversally from the 4th pouch on the same day. Median thyroid forms the div...
