The aims of this study were to prepare a thermosensitive composite hydrogel (TCH) by mixing 24% (w/v) poloxamer 407 (P407), 16% (w/v) poloxamer 188 (P188) and 0.1% (w/v) carbopol 940 (C940), and to determine the effect of natural borneol/ (2-hydroxypropyl)-β-cyclodextrin (NB/HP-β-CD) inclusion complex on the phase transition temperature, mechanical, rheological properties, and release behaviors...

Cervical cancer caused by the infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV) remains the fourth leading killer of women worldwide. Therefore, more efficacious treatments are needed. We are developing radioimmunotherapy (RIT) of HPV-positive cervical cancers by targeting E6 and E7 viral oncoproteins expressed by the cancer cells with the radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). To investigate t...

The siphon indices, branching of setae 5-C and 6-C, lengths of 5-C compared to the lengths of 6-C, length of the most proximal seta 1-S compared to the siphon length, and the occurrence of a paler abdominal segment IV were compared among Culex apicalis, Cx. boharti and Cx. territans larvae. These characters in Cx. territans were found to be much more variable than previously recognized, and oft...

The impact deformation and fracture behaviour of cobalt-based Haynes 188 superalloy are investigated by means of a split Hopkinson pressure bar. Impact tests are performed at strain rates ranging from 1×103 s-1 to 5×103 s-1 and temperatures between 25°C and 800°C. The experimental results indicate that the flow response and fracture characteristics of cobalt-based Haynes 188 superalloy are sign...

Human mitochondrial NAD kinase is a crucial enzyme responsible for the synthesis of mitochondrial NADP(+). Despite its significance, little is known about the regulation of this enzyme in the mitochondria. Several putative and known phosphorylation sites within the protein have been found using phosphoproteomics, and here, we examined the effect of phosphomimetic mutations at six of these sites...

Context. We present SEST observations of the molecular environment ahead of the southern Herbig-Haro object 188 (HH 188), associated with the low-mass protostar Re 4 IRS. We have also used the SuperCosmos Hα survey to search for Hα emission associated with the Re 4 IRS – HH 188 region. Aims. The aim of the present work is to study the properties of the molecular gas and to better characterize t...

PURPOSE During growth of the embryonic eye, dose- and site-specific expression of heparin-binding growth factors is critical for the formation of an appropriate vascular supply. Overexpression of vascular endothelial growth factor-A(188) (VEGF-A(188)), a strongly heparin-binding, endothelial-specific mitogen, leads to severe disturbance of vascular and overall ocular morphology. This study aime...

Affibody molecules constitute a class of small (7 kDa) scaffold proteins that can be engineered to have excellent tumor targeting properties. High reabsorption in kidneys complicates development of affibody molecules for radionuclide therapy. In this study, we evaluated the influence of the composition of cysteine-containing C-terminal peptide-based chelators on the biodistribution and renal re...

This research aims to explain why Indonesia did not ratify the ILO Convention No. 188/2007. The technique of data collection was conducted with literature study using primary sources in form 188/2007, and Recommendation, 2007, Law 15 2016 regarding Ratification Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 secondary from data, documents, or reports related topic this thesis. results showed that reason 188/2...
