introduction: radioimmunotherapy (rit) is a very promising new therapy for the treatment of recurrent b-cell non-hodgkin's lymphoma (nhl). iodine-131 is the most frequently used nuclide in clinical rit, but its usefulness has been limited by dehalogenation of monoclonal antibodies labeled via conventional methods. to circumvent this problem, we have synthesized a tri-peptide consisting of non-m...

background: the use of the ionizing radiation in the medical practice has evolved since its beginnings. their benefit for the patient is considerable in term of comfort, diagnostic and therapeutic effectiveness. it is estimated that 30% to 50% of critical decisions in medical approaches is based on x-ray examination. using the x-ray as a diagnostic means by clinicians requires appropriate and a...

background and purpose     methods:     results:     conclusion:

a new 2-[(4-substituted-phenyl-3-chloroazetidin-2-one)-5-(2'-methylamino 4-phenyl-1', 3'-thiazolyl-]-1, 3, 4-thiadiazoles, 5(a-n) were synthesized from 2-substituted-benzylideneamino-5-[2'-methylamino-4'-phenyl-1',3'-thiazolyl]-1,3, 4-thiadiazole, 4(a-n) using 2-amino-4phenyl-1, 3-thiazole as a starting material. the synthesised compounds have been screened in vitro for their antimicrobial acti...

one-pot multicomponent reaction between isatin, barbituric acid, and 6-amino-1,3-dimethyl uracil was investigated in the presence of sulfonic acid functionalized nanoporous silica (sba-pr-so3h) and resulted in the formation of spirooxindole dipyrimidines. spirooxindole unit is found in many natural products and biologically active molecules and 1,4-dihydropyridines are an important class of com...

abstract-a novel and efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of pyrano[3,2-c]quinoline-2,5-dione derivatives by the convenient ultrasound-mediated condensation of 4-hydroxyquinolin-2-one with meldrum’s acid and aldehydes in the presence of a catalytic amount of [hmim]hso4 as a green, efficient and reusable acidic ionic liquid medium. the stability of the ionic liquid during the re...

background: recent studies have shown that oxidative stress (os) is the most important indicator in the pathogenesis of alzheimer's disease (ad), but the results in previous studies are conflicting. this study aimed to assess the plasma levels of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-ohdg) as dna oxidative damage marker and total antioxidant capacity (tac) in patients with ad versus control ...

objective(s):parkinson's disease (pd) is known for motor impairments. but often, there are non-motor symptoms such as cognitive deficiency and pain misperception, owing to possible role of nigrostriatal pathway. antioxidants have protective effect on free radical-induced neuronal damage in pd. to further address, we examined the effects of ellagic acid (ea) in a rat model of pd induced by ...
