چکیده
Fig. 1. CT scan revealed a large inhomogeneous mass with focal area of calcification and diffuse infiltration of the left lung and parietal pleura. Pleural percutaneous biopsy revealed a cortical thymoma CD3+ CD99+ and CD1a+ which was classed as B1 type according to WHO classification. The mass was unchanged after six cycles of chemotherapy; at PET scan after chemotherapy, SUV was 7.1. At preoperative MRI of the chest, extrafascial plane invasion was not shown.

متن کاملA double-stranded DNA rotaxane.
Mechanically interlocked molecules such as rotaxanes and catenanes have potential as components of molecular machinery. Rotaxanes consist of a dumb-bell-shaped molecule encircled by a macrocycle that can move unhindered along the axle, trapped by bulky stoppers. Previously, rotaxanes have been made from a variety of molecules, but not from DNA. Here, we report the design, assembly and character...
متن کاملA Dumb-bell Satellite with a Cabin. Existence and Stability of Relative Equilibria
The problem of motion of a dumb-bell satellite in an orbital plane passing through the attracting center is considered. It is assumed that the satellite is equipped with a cabin that is allowed to slide along the straight connection of the two endbodies. The structure of the set of stationary configurations depending on the parameter, which is the position of the cabin, is studied both analytic...
متن کاملHeterojunction double dumb - bell Ag 2 Te – Te – Ag 2 Te nanowires
Growth of isolated axial heterojunction nanowires by a solution phase growth process is reported. The dumb-bell shaped nanowires contain two silver telluride sections at the extremes joined by a tellurium section. Reaction of silver nitrate with tellurium NWs in aqueous solution at a molar ratio of 1 : 1 leads to the formation of amorphous partially silver reacted Te NWs. Low temperature (75 C)...
