Abstract Owing to the hypoxia status of tumor, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production during photodynamic therapy (PDT) tumor is less efficient. Herein, a facile method which involves synthesis Mg–Mn–Al layered double hydroxides (LDH) clay with MoS 2 doping in surface and anionic layer space LDH was presented, integrate photo-thermal effect imaging catalytic functions LDH. The designed LDH-Mo...

A rice class I low-molecular-mass heat shock protein (LMM HSP) Oshsp 16.9 was overexpressed in Escherichia coli. Oligomerized complexes of Oshsp16.9 were harvested and electron microscopic observations of purified complexes revealed globular structures of 10-20 nm in diameter (with majority of 15-18 nm) and calculated to comprise approx. 12 monomers per complex. In comparison, complexes from na...

OBJECTIVES Cut-off points (COPs) for appendicular lean mass (ALM) index, essential to define low muscle mass (LMM) in the elderly, have never been officially defined for Poland. The aim of the study was to establish them. Additionally, the significance of body mass index (BMI) for correctly defining the COPs in a young, healthy reference group was assessed. METHODS The study was composed of r...

Using Location-aware Multimedia Messaging (LMM) systems as a research testbed, we present an analysis of how ‘fun or playfulness’ can be studied and designed for under mobile and ubiquitous environments. These LMM systems allow users to leave geo-tagged multimedia messages behind at any location. Drawing on previous efforts with LMM systems and an envisioned scenario illustrating how LMM can be...

Sarcomeric myosins have the remarkable ability to form regular bipolar thick filaments that, together with actin thin filaments, constitute the fundamental contractile unit of skeletal and cardiac muscle. This has been established for over 50 years and yet a molecular model for the thick filament has not been attained. In part this is due to the lack of a detailed molecular model for the coiled...

Lentigo maligna (LM) is a pigmented lesion that occurs on the sun-exposed skin, particularly the head and neck areas, of an older patient. The lesion increases in size and at some point, often many years after its onset, may become lentigo maligna melanoma (LMM). For this reason, most authors consider LM a form of melanoma in situ. Treatment includes surgical or destructive modalities; the pref...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), a frequent cause of end-stage renal disease, has no cure. V2-specific vasopressin receptor antagonists delay disease progression in animal models. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, AND MEASUREMENTS This is a prospectively designed analysis of annual total kidney volume (TKV) and thrice annual estimated GFR (eGFR) mea...

Postcollision-interaction (PCI) effects involving multistep decay processes following Ar $1s$ photoionization has been studied by Auger electron spectroscopy. The experiment focused on $LMM$ electrons measured in small photon energy steps across the threshold. Decay pathways that we include (1) ${\mathrm{Ar}}^{+*}2{p}^{--1}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\mathrm{Ar}}^{2+}3{p}^{--2}$ LMM\ensuremath{\al...

The surge of trading volume in caps and swaptions urged the need for a theoretical justification for the related market formulas, which were derived by using the Black (1976) model in a seemingly unsound manner. A consistent theoretical framework for such formulas was provided in a number of papers in the mid 90’s: Brace, Gatarek and Musiela (1997), Miltersen, Sandmann and Sondermann (1997) and...

A Local Mixing Model (LMM) has been utilised to compute the evolution of the hydrogen isotope content within the implantation zone of the CuCrZr target material of the beam-stopping elements of the ITER Neutral Beam Test Facility, together with the beamtarget fusion reaction rate calculated by taking account of the slowing-down of the 1MeV incoming projectile ion within the implantation layer. ...
