Several radiolabelled cocaine analogues have been proposed for brain imaging of the dopamine transporter in research on neuropsychiatric disorders and drug abuse. In a recent positron emission tomography (PET) study we labelled the cocaine analogue β-CIT-FE with carbon-11 and demonstrated high specific binding in the monkey striatum. In the present study, the selectivity of [""C]β-CIT-FE bindin...

This study aimed to evaluate a 50:50 mix of perfluorohexyloctane/polydimethylsiloxane 5 (F6H8S5) preservation of pancreases in a clinical setting compared with standard solutions for 1) cold ischemia time (CIT) 10 h and 2) an extended CIT 20 h. Procured clinical-grade pancreases were shipped in either F6H8S5 or in standard preservation solutions, that is, University of Wisconsin (UW) or Custodi...

The aim of the present study was assessment sub-chronic effects silver (AgNPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) 40 nm primary size either stabilised with citrate (CIT) or coated polyethylene glycol (PEG) on freshwater invertebrate Gammarus fossarum. Silver nitrate (AgNO3) used as a positive control in order to contribution ions potentially released from AgNPs observed effects. A multibiomarker ap...

To investigate the cerebral dopamine transporter status in the early stages of the parkinson-variant of multiple system atrophy (MSA-P), 15 patients with MSA-P and a disease duration up to 3 years were studied with [123I]beta-CIT single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Data were compared with 13 age-matched healthy control subjects and 15 patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease...

The academic journey to become a professional counselor can be challenging for counselors-in-training (CIT), adversely affecting their physical health, mental and wellness. Counselor educators (CE) have recognized need wellness training interventions assist CIT during graduate school prepare them careers. Photography is considered tool in art therapy within the realm of expressive therapies tha...

UNLABELLED Current SPECT radioligands available for in vivo imaging of the dopamine transporter (DAT) also show affinity for monoamine transporters other than DAT, especially the serotonin transporter (SERT). The effect of this lack of selectivity for in vivo imaging is unknown. In this study, we compared the SPECT radioligands (123)I-2-β-carbomethoxy-3β-(4-iodophenyl)-N-(3-fluoropropyl)nortrop...

Ion trap mass spectrometry has developed though several stages to their current stage of relatively high performance and increasing popularity [1]. Quadrupole ion trap (QIT) invented by Paul and Steinwedel [2] has been widely applied to mass spectrometry [3-6], ion cooling and spectroscopy [7], frequency standards [8], quantum computing [9] and so on. To apply to various objectives, various geo...

The IgE of sera from patients with a history of allergy to oranges (Citrus sinensis) binds a number of proteins in orange extract, including Cit s 1, a germin-like protein. In the present study, we have analyzed its immunological cross-reactivity and its molecular nature. Sera from many of the patients examined recognize a range of glycoproteins and neoglycoconjugates containing beta1,2-xylose ...
