Human small cell lung cancers (SCLC) produce and secrete the regulatory peptide bombesin (BN) or its mammalian counterpart gastrinreleasing peptide (GRP). In addition, several SCLC tumor lines have been shown to express high affinity receptors for BN/GRP. On the basis of these findings, we investigated the effect of exogenously added BN and GRP on the soft agarose colony growth of a panel of hu...

Cationic BN-embedded polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (BN-PAH+s) were synthesized from a nitrogen-containing macrocycle via pyridine-directed tandem C?H borylation. Incorporating BN into PAH+ resulted in remarkable hypsochromic shift due to an increase the LUMO energy and symmetry changes of HOMO LUMO. Electrophilic substitution or anion exchange BN-PAH+ possessing tetrabromoborate as counter (...

Brown Norway rats (BN, BN/NHsdMcwi) are profoundly resistant to developing acute kidney injury (AKI) following ischemia reperfusion. To help define the genetic basis for this resistance, we used consomic rats, in which individual chromosomes from BN rats were placed into the genetic background of Dahl SS rats (SS, SS/JrHsdMcwi) to determine which chromosomes contain alleles contributing to prot...

Background. Different studies indicate a high prevalence of eating disorders in athletes. These disorders represent a serious defect in many areas of life. Eating disorders can lead to changes in consumer or intake of food and significant damage to physical health and psychosocial sports performance. Objectives. The aim of the present study was examining the effects of Cognitive Behavior Thera...
