Abstract Current standard-of-care for glioblastoma (GBM) includes surgery followed by radiation with concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide. There are limited treatment options available upon progression or recurrence of disease. Options often involve participation in clinical trials promising new therapies. However, patients may not meet the strictly defined entry criteria to participate these t...

Salinity is an important factor in reduced cucumber yield and quality. Grafting on the resistant rootstock could keep growth near to optimum condition. The aim of the present research is to investigate the characteristics of different rootstocks on physiology and fruit characteristics of cucumber. Treatments were rootstocks [Rn: Nongrafted (Cucumis sativus v. DAVOSII), Rt: Tanbal (Cucurbita max...

On 14 April 1994, the British Columbia government announced a new stumpage formula that, at then-expected product prices, increased the average charge by about $12/m3 and more than doubled the rate at which stumpage fees change when lumber prices change. Most of the increased revenues are reinvested in the forest sector by a new organization, Forest Renewal British Columbia (FRBC), created spec...

Introduction It is nearly 30 years ago that the International Commission on Microbiological Specifications for Foods (ICMSF) provided urgently needed guidance on the use of sampling plans and microbiological criteria for foods in international trade. With publications like “Microorganisms in Foods 2: Sampling for Microbiological Analysis: Principles and Specific Applications” (1) and now “Micro...

Pharmacokinetic and biodistribution studies were conducted in rats on a novel serine protease inhibitor, LEX 032, that was radiolabeled with 131I by the Bolton-Hunter reagent. LEX 032, a genetically engineered recombinant human nonglycosylated serpin, has been shown to have antiinflammatory properties in a number of animal models of inflammation and reperfusion injury. When 131I-LEX 032 was inj...

In this paper, we consider Nearest points" and Farthestpoints" in normed linear spaces. For normed space (X; ∥:∥), the set W subset X,we dene Pg; Fg;Rg where g 2 W. We obtion results about on Pg; Fg;Rg. Wend new results on Chebyshev centers in normed spaces. In nally we deneremotal center in normed spaces.

background: to investigate the expression of tnf-α, il-6, il-10 in the plasma of patients with lung cancer who received radiation therapy (rt), and to analyze the correlation between these cytokines and radiation pneumonitis (rp). materials and methods: patients with lung cancer who received 3d-crt in our hospital were prospectively evaluated. circulating cytokine levels were measured with elis...
