Primary testicular lymphoma (PTL) is a rare testicular tumor representing less than 9% of all testicular cancers. PTL usually tends to spread to or relapse at nodal structures or extra-nodal sites such as contralateral testes, central nervous system, skin, lung, pleura, waldeyer's ring and soft tissues. We present a case of PTL with huge left atrial mass, an extremely unusual site of involvemen...

The reaction of the redox-active ligand, Hpyramol (4-methyl-2-N-(2-pyridylmethyl)aminophenol) with K(2)PtCl(4) yields monofunctional square-planar [Pt(pyrimol)Cl], PtL-Cl, which was structurally characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and NMR spectroscopy. This compound unexpectedly cleaves supercoiled double-stranded DNA stoichiometrically and oxidatively, in a non-specific manner wi...

Purified type A botulinum toxin of about 10(6) mouse 50% lethal doses per ml was greater than 99.9% inactivated when incubated at pH 7.4 for 30 min at 37 degrees C in 20 mM 1,10-phenanthroline (PTL) or 2,2'-dipyridyl (DPD) and was 96% inactivated when incubated in 70 mM 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid (HQL), but was not affected when incubated in 200 mM EDTA. When used as a representative of...

BACKGROUND Preterm labor (PTL) is one of the most important causes in neonatal mortality and morbidity. Late preterm labor (34-36w) includes 75% of such birth. Assisted reproductive technology (ART) pregnant women are at increased risk of PTL. OBJECTIVE The study has been undertaken to determine whether beginning and continuing 17-α hydroxy progesterone caproate can reduce risk of PTL or chan...

A new design methodology for mapping circuits is discussed in this paper. It proposes two new techniques for mapping circuits. The rst method, known as the odd-level transistor replacement (OTR) method, has a goal that is similar to that of technology mapping, but without the restriction of a xed library size. The second technique, the Static/PTL method, uses a mix of static CMOS and pass trans...

Two new techniques for mapping circuits are proposed in this paper. The rst method, called the odd-level transistor replacement (OTR) method, has a goal that is similar to that of technology mapping, but without the restriction of a xed library size, and maps a circuit to a virtual library of complex static CMOS gates. The second technique, the Static CMOS/PTL method, uses a mix of static CMOS ...

Stress development is one of the significant factors leading to the failure of thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems. In this work, stress development in the two phase mixed zone named phase transition layer (PTL), which grows between the thermally grown oxide (TGO) and the bond coat (BC), is investigated by using two different homogenization models. A constitutive equation of the PTL based on ...

In comparison to the conventional complementary pull-up and pull-down logic structure, pass transistor (PTL) family reduces number of transistors required perform functions, thereby reducing both area power consumption. However, this requires inter-stage inverters ensure signal integrity in cascaded circuits, must be used provide each logical input its form. These signals increase device count ...

We have previously shown that the plant-derived compound parthenolide (PTL) can impair the survival and leukemogenic activity of primary human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) stem cells. However, despite the activity of this agent, PTL also induces cellular protective responses that likely function to reduce its overall cytotoxicity. Thus, we sought to identify pharmacologic agents that enhance th...

PURPOSE Primary thyroid lymphoma (PTL) is a rare disease and it has been investigated in a limited number of studies. The present multicenter study evaluated the clinical features and treatment outcomes of PTL. METHODS The medical records of patients diagnosed with PTL between 2000 and 2013 in three centers were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS The study included 11 men and 27 women with a...
