The present part of the series provides new records 11 taxa, among them one diatom, six lichen-forming fungi and four bryophytes. diatom Stauroneis blazenciciae is to Romania, it second record worldwide. lichen species have already been reported from Hungary, however they are quite rare. Additional interesting presented, e.g. Calicium notarisii Pseudothelomma ocellatum for Great Hungarian Plain...

SNAP-25 is a core component of the trimeric SNARE complex mediating vesicle exocytosis during membrane addition for neuronal growth, neuropeptide/growth factor secretion, and neurotransmitter release during synaptic transmission. Here, we report a novel microRNA mechanism of SNAP-25 regulation controlling motor neuron development, neurosecretion, synaptic activity, and movement in zebrafish. Lo...

BACKGROUND The effect of prior treatment with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy on the myelotoxicity of samarium lexidronam (Sm 153) in patients with metastatic bone lesions and bone pain was described. METHODS Single-institution retrospective chart review of patients receiving Sm 153. The effect of Sm 153 on peripheral white blood cell (WBC), platelet counts, and change from baseline was calc...

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 ...

(153)Sm-EDTMP is a radiopharmaceutical composed of EDTMP (ethylenediamine-tetramethylenephosphonate) and Samarium-153 [1]. (153)Sm-EDTMP has an affinity for skeletal tissue and concentrates in areas with increased bone turnover; thus, it is successfully used in relieving pain related to diffuse bone metastases [1]. The manufacturing process of (153)Sm-EDTMP leads to contamination with (154)Eu (...

Detailed polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) signatures and chiral Enantiomer Fractions (EFs) of CB-95, CB-136 and CB-149 were measured for 30 workers at a transformer dismantling plant. This was undertaken to identify sources of exposure and investigate changes to the PCB signature and EFs over different exposure periods. Approximately 1.5 g of serum was extracted and PCB signatures were created th...
