Enlarged fronto-lateral laryngectomy with epiglottoplasty and supracricoid laryngectomy with cricohyoidopexy (CHP) or cricohyoidoepiglottopexy (CHEP) differ from each other as regards surgical technique, extent of the resection and method of reconstruction. Despite of that, selected carcinomas of the true vocal cord staged as T2N0, which are included in indications to all mentioned laryngectomi...

Cumene Hydroperoxide (CHP) has been used in the production of Dicumyl Hydroperoxide (DCPO) and phenol. In Taiwan, several severe fire or explosion incidents have occurred due to its thermal instability or reactivity. In this research, the exothermic decomposition of CHP in Cumene was characterized by isothermal microcalorimeter, TAM (thermal activity monitor), because isothermal testing offers ...

Tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) overdose is a relatively common cause of poisoning. According to the American Association of Poison Control Centers, 7961 patients with amitriptyline poisoning were reported in 2000. Of these, 958 were under 6 years old, 6388 needed treatment in a health care facility and 68 patients died [1]. The current therapy of TCA overdose includes preventive measures such a...

cis-4-Hydroxy-L-proline (CHP) is being clinically evaluated as an anticancer drug. Since this compound targets the production of L-proline-rich proteins and critical L-proline residues, its impact on long-term cultures of human hepatocytes and toxicity in rats was studied to investigate possible effects on hepatic function, previously reported in rat hepatocytes. In the HEPAC2 human hepatocyte ...

Multiple virulence systems in the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa are regulated by the second messenger signalling molecule adenosine 3', 5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP). Production of cAMP by the putative adenylate cyclase enzyme CyaB represents a critical control point for virulence gene regulation. To identify regulators of CyaB, we screened a transposon insertion library for mu...

We encapsulated tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), a major proinflammatory cytokine, into cholesteryl pullulan (CHP) to prepare TNF/CHP nanoparticles. In this report, we describe the immune-enhancing capability of the nanoparticles to act as a vaccine adjuvant. TNF/CHP nanoparticles showed excellent storage stability and enhanced host immune responses to external immunogens. The nanoparticles wer...

Power and heat are the primary energies for the industry and communities. Combined heat and power (CHP) is a process of heat and power cogeneration, which is designed to meet the needs of both users. In previous studies of emergy analysis on CHP, the transformity was simply calculated by dividing the total emergy input by the amount of production. The result always showed that transformity of e...

Background. The increased practice of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) worldwide has raised concerns regarding herb-drug interactions. The purpose of our study is to analyze the concurrent use of Chinese herbal products (CHPs) among Taiwanese insomnia patients taking hypnotic drugs. Methods. The usage, frequency of services, and CHP prescribed among 53,949 insomnia sufferers were evaluated fr...

مهم ترین نیازهای حفاظتی برای ریزشبکه های متصل به شبکه تشخیص شرایط جزیره و حفاظت برای مقابله با شرایط جزیره است. در این مقاله یک روش جدید برای تشخیص شرایط جزیره برای یک ریزشبکه استاندارد مجهز به منابع تولیدی انرژی نو مختلف شامل توربین بادی با ژنراتـور القـایی از دو سو تغذیه (dfig ، chp) و سلول هـای فتوولتائیک ارائه شده است. در این روش سیستم های کنترلی dfig، chp و سلول های فتوولتائیک مدل سازی شده...
