متن کاملSystemic Targeted Alpha Radiotherapy for Cancer
Background: The fundamental principles of internal targeted alpha therapy for cancer were established many decades ago.The high linear energy transfer (LET) of alpha radiation to the targeted cancer cellscauses double strand breaks in DNA. At the same time, the short range radiation spares adjacent normal tissues. This targeted approach complements conventional external beam radiotherapy and ch...
متن کاملAntifibrinolytic therapy: new data and new concepts.
Activation of the fi brinolytic system is an integral part of vascular haemostatic mechanisms to maintain vascular patency. The basis of fi brinolysis is the conversion of the inactive substrate plasminogen to plasmin, an enzyme that cleaves fi brin but also has pleiotropic eff ects. Multiple mechanisms are responsible for generating plasmin, including endothelial activation and release of tiss...
