Tergitol as a possible thinning agent for peach cv. Redhaven

Radioiodine as a possible triggering agent for pemphigus foliaceus

Pemphigus foliaceus (PF) is an autoimmune blistering disease presenting in endemic and sporadic forms. The typical presentation is recurrent shallow erosions in a seborrheic distribution. PF has also been found in association with autoimmune diseases such as autoimmune thyroid disease (e.g. toxic nodular goiter and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis). In some patients, PF appears to be triggered by radioi...

Measurement of Indole-3-Acetic Acid in Peach Fruits (Prunus persica L. Batsch cv Redhaven) during Development.

The amount of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) was measured in peach fruits by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-selective ion monitoring using an isotope dilution assay with [(13)C(6)]IAA as an internal standard throughout the growing season. Ethylene evolution of the fruit was also measured. IAA levels were 25 nanograms per gram fresh weight, 18 days after anthesis. Both IAA levels and rates of ...

Preparation of a 153Sm-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-methoxyphenyl) porphyrin complex as a possible therapeutic agent

Introduction: Porphyrins are interesting derivatives with low toxicity, tumor avidity and rapid wash-out suggested as potential radiopharmaceuticals in radiolabeled form. In this work we report, synthesis, radiolabeling, quality control, stability, partition coefficient determination and biodistribution studies of 153Sm-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-methoxyphenyl) porphyrin (153Sm-4-MPP) in ...

Production and Evaluation of Lutetium-177 Maltolate as a Possible Therapeutic Agent

Production, Quality Control and Biological Evaluation of 166Ho-PDTMP as a Possible Bone Palliation Agent

Objective(s):In this study, 166Ho-1,2-propylene di-amino tetra(methy1enephosphonicAcid) (166Ho-PDTMP) complex  was prepared as a bone palliation agent. Materials and Methods:The complex was successfully prepared using an in-house synthesized EDTMP ligand and 166HoCl3. Ho-166 chloride was obtained by thermal neutron irradiation (1 × 1013 n.cm-2.s-1) of natural Ho(NO3)3 samples  followed by radio...
