Polylysine-DTPA-Gd, a new MR contrast agent, was injected into the aorta of rats 7 days after C6 glioblastoma was implanted in their brains; MR imaging was performed 3 days later. The imaging was done at two field strengths: (1) 1.5 T with a 3-mm slice thickness and in-plane resolutions of 600 microns and (2) 9.4 T with a 125- or 500-microns slice thickness and in-plane resolutions of 95 micron...

Synthesis of guanosine 3'-phosphodiesters of 1, N6-ethenoadenosine-2-sulfonate or 1, N6-etheno-2-azaadenosine can be done readily with ribonuclease N1. There is a 10-fold difference in quantum yield between the phosphodiesters and the starting fluorescent nucleosides. This difference provides the basis for the development of a fluorescent assay for nuclease.

Let φ1 stand for the statement V = HOD and φ2 stand for the Ground Axiom. Suppose Ti for i = 1, . . . , 4 are the theories “ZFC + φ1 + φ2”, “ZFC + ¬φ1 + φ2”, “ZFC + φ1 + ¬φ2”, and “ZFC + ¬φ1 + ¬φ2” respectively. We show that if κ is indestructibly supercompact and λ > κ is inaccessible, then for i = 1, . . . , 4, Ai =df {δ < κ | δ is an inaccessible cardinal which is not a limit of inaccessible...

Background MOLLI is a method of producing a T1 map at end diastole by using the electrocardiogram (ECG) under respiratory arrest to obtain consecutive inversion recovery images with an arbitrary number of MOLLI cycles. Since a variety of heart rates are presumed clinically, it is important to understand their effects on the T1 value and the error of measurement. We investigated the error of mea...

The present study aimed to explore the effects of different anesthetic methods on cellular immune function and prognosis of patients with ovarian cancer (OC) undergoing oophorectomy. A total of 167 patients who received general anesthesia (GA) treatment (GA group) and 154 patients who received combined general/epidural anesthesia (GEA) treatment (GEA group) were collected retrospectively. Each ...

Fusarium oxysporum causa pérdidas en la producción de tomate, para su control se emplean fungicidas químicos que afectan el medio ambiente y causan problemas resistencia; por lo han desarrollado alternativas como los extractos vegetales. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar efectividad biológica plantas semidesierto mexicano contra F. bajo condiciones invernadero. Los tratamientos fuero...

This study aims to establish an animal model of implanted main portal vein tumor thrombus (MPVTT) and to evaluate safety and efficacy of brachy therapy with Iodine-125 ((125)I) seeds strand to treat MPVTT of rabbit. VX2 tumor thrombus was implanted in main portal vein (MPV) of 32 New Zealand white rabbits. These rabbits were randomly divided into treatment group (Group T, T1-T16) and control gr...

PURPOSE To validate radiation safety instructions to patients and to evaluate the potential radiation doses to members of the public after (125)I or (103)Pd prostate implantation. METHODS AND MATERIALS Radiation dose rate measurements were made in the immediate postoperative period on 636 consecutive patients with stage T1-T2 prostate cancer who underwent transperineal (125)I or (103)Pd impla...

The objective of the present experiment was to quantify the gas production parameters, methane emission and microbial nitrogen production of a conventional total mixed ration including corn silage, alfalfa hay, wheat straw and concentrate (390, 110, 22 and 478 g/kg of diet DM, respectively) treated with different levels of Natuzyme® and pre-incubation time after enzyme administration. Two hundr...
