This paper looks at the special characteristics of radical inventions. It tries to identify those variables that differentiate radical inventions from non-radical inventions. Since radical inventions are very important for the economy as a whole and for the individual firm performances, understanding what makes radical inventions differ from non-radical inventions is very important. For our res...

SC-E3 is a novel herbal formula composed of five oriental medicinal herbs that are used to treat a wide range of inflammatory diseases in Korean traditional medicine. In this study, we sought to determine the effects of SC-E3 on free radical generation and inflammatory response in lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-) treated RAW 264.7 macrophages and the molecular mechanism involved. The ethanol extract ...

OBJECTIVE Preoperative determination of prostate cancer (PCa) tumor volume (TV) is still a big challenge. We have assessed variables obtained in prostatic biopsy aiming at determining which is the best method to predict the TV in radical prostatectomy (RP) specimens. MATERIALS AND METHODS Biopsy findings of 162 men with PCa submitted to radical prostatectomy were revised. Preoperative charact...

The electron transfer reaction within a donor-acceptor, solvent separated ion pair (‘AZ . . . . *D:) leading to IXcited singlet, excited triplet, and ground stale products is studied within the iramcwork of tic theorv of nonradiative Cransitions. Inner sphere as well as Ouier sphere rearrangement processes are included. The nonadiabruc model presented here predicts an almost linear dcpendcncc o...

Tumor recurrence is usually detected within one year after radical resection of stage III gastric cancer. This study aimed to establish the expression profile and determine potential circular RNAs (circRNAs) and predict the early recurrence of stage III gastric cancer. We identified 46 differently expressed circRNAs between cancer and adjacent normal tissues through circRNA microarray. We furth...

In order to elucidate the question of free radical involvement in acute porphyric crisis, antioxidants were administered to two acute intermittent porphyria patients with long-standing recurrent attacks. Clinical condition and urinary excretion of porphyrins and porphyrin precursors were monitored before, during and after an eight week therapy with daily doses of vitamin E, beta-carotene, ascor...

BACKGROUND Insampaedok-san (ren-shen-bai-du-san in Chinese) is a traditional herbal formula widely used for the treatment of respiratory diseases in Korea and China. In this study, we investigated the acute oral toxicity of an Insampaedok-san water extract (ISSE) in rats and the antiasthmatic effects of ISSE and its mechanism in a model of asthma induced by ovalbumin (OVA) in mice. METHODS In...
