BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to identify prognostic parameters for patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) in first progression/relapse. These would be useful for selection of high-risk patients for inclusion in trials aimed at determining the effect of new treatment approaches in such patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Ninety patients (48 male, 42 female, median age 56 years) diagnose...

ROMP is an effective method for preparing functional polymers due to its having characteristics of "living" polymerization and rapid development of catalysts. In the present work, poly(norbornene-methylamine), a mimic of chitosan, was synthesized via ROMP reaction. The amino-protected product, 5-norbornene-2-(N-methyl)-phthalimide, was prepared by a reaction of 5-norbornene-2-methylamine with p...

The general lipid-lowering action of the N-substituted phthalimide derivatives reported herein, as well as the activity of potassium phthalimide, implicates the phthalimide moiety as possessing hypolipidemic activity in rodents. Compounds containing substituents with chain lengths of four carbon or oxygen atoms showed the best hypolipidemic activity in the series tested. Tests involving 1-N-pht...

THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: (2R)-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2-(4-nitro-1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)propanoic acid], C(19)H(13)N(3)O(6), an analogue of epigenetic modulator RG108, is constrained by strong hydrogen bonds between the indole N-H group and a carbonyl O atom of the phthalimide ring of a symmetry-related mol-ecule, and between the protonated O atom of the carboxy...

Study Design Cross-sectional study. Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between pelvic tilt (PT) and the sacro-femoral-pubic (SFP) angle, which is easier to identify than PT, in middle-aged and elderly Asian subjects from the general population. Overview of Literature Measuring PT is important in the diagnosis and treatment of adult spinal deformity. However, i...

In the title compound {systematic name: 2-[(E)-but-2-en-1-yl]isoindoline-1,3-dione}, C(12)H(11)NO(2), the phthalimide ring system is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.008 (1) Å, while the plane of the N-crotyl substituent is orthogonal to the phthalimide ring system, making a dihedral angle of 87.5 (1)°.

The sfp cluster, encoding Sfp fimbriae and located in the large plasmid of sorbitol-fermenting (SF) enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157 (pSFO157), has been considered a unique characteristic of this organism. We discovered and then characterized the sfp cluster in EHEC O165:H25/NM (nonmotile) isolates of human and bovine origin. All seven strains investigated harbored a complete sfp ...

The internal structure of semi-flexible pavement (SFP) is prone to fatigue damage, which affects its service life. cement mortar admixture has a crucial influence on the resistance SFP. In order explore and study performance SFP, Waterborne Epoxy Resin, emulsified asphalt Carboxyl Latex were selected as admixtures prepare special mortar, effect SFP was evaluated by indirect tensile test. tests ...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this modelling study was to estimate the expected changes in the nutritional quality and greenhouse gas emissions (GHGEs) of primary school meals due to the adoption of new mandatory food-based standards for school meals. SETTING Nationally representative random sample of 136 primary schools in England was selected for the Primary School Food Survey (PSFS) with 50% respo...
