MRI of brain tumors was performed with CPMG pulse sequence, and T1 and T2 relaxation times were measured before and after the administration of 0.1 mmol/kg Gd-DTPA. T1 and T2 became significantly shorter than before with the T1 shortening being about twice the T2's. Three types of T2 shortening were classified by the difference in the intra-tumoral transport of Gd-DTPA in the time-course study ...

Abstract Background Replacement gilts are typically fed ad libitum , whereas emerging evidence from human and rodent studies has revealed that time-restricted access to food health benefits. The objective of this study was investigate the effect meal frequency on metabolic status ovarian follicular development in gilts. Methods A total 36 (Landrace × Yorkshire) with an age 150±3 d a body weight...

The Bekang is a rich source of probiotics and may be suitable alternative to fermented feed AGPs for broilers. One-day old 240 broiler chicks were assigned 6 dietary treatments: T1 (basal ration), T2 ration + Bacitracin methylene disalicylate @ 0.5 g/kg basal T3 by Lactobacillus acidophilus 100 g/kg), T4 50 T5 75 g/kg) T6 g/kg). housed under deep litter system with vaccination deworming as per ...

Methods Seventy patients with STEMI successfully treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention within 12 h from symptom onset underwent CMR 3 2 days after hospital admission. Patients were subcategorized into 4 time-to-reperfusion (symptom onset to balloon) quartiles: 90 min (group I, n 19), 90 to 150 min (group II, n 17), 150 to 360 min (group III, n 17), and 360 min (group IV, n 17)...

A 3 × 2 factorial experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of different ratios of dietary laminarin (LAM) and fucoidan (FUC) on growth performance and nutrient digestibility in newly weaned piglets. At weaning, 168 piglets (24 d of age; 6.8 kg live weight) were assigned to 1 of 6 dietary treatments (n = 14/treatment): (i) basal diet, (ii) basal diet + 240 mg/kg FUC, (iii) basal diet ...

The pharmacokinetics of busulfan, given as a single daily dose (either 4 mg/kg or 150 mg/m2), was determined in 22 children undergoing bone marrow transplantation for acute leukemia. The single daily dose regimen showed similar pharmacokinetics to previously reported regimens of 4 x 1 mg/kg, except for fourfold higher mean peak plasma levels and negligible trough levels. Daily systemic exposure...

Four fragrances, 6-acetyl-1,1,2,4,4,7-hexamethyltetraline (AHTN), 1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydro-4,6,6,7,8,8-hexamethylcyclopenta-gamma-2-ben zopyran (HHCB), musk ketone and musk xylene were tested for developmental toxicity in Sprague-Dawley rats (25/group, 3 groups/fragrance, 2 fragrances/corn oil control). Dosages tested were HHCB: 50, 150, 500 mg/kg per day; AHTN: 5, 15, 50 mg/kg per day; musk keton...
