In the crystal of the title compound, C(6)H(7)N(2)O(+)·C(2)HF(2)O(2) (-), the cation adopts a catemeric N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonded chain motif involving the carboxamide group, with two further N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds connecting the cations to adjacent difluoro-acetate anions via the carboxamide and pyridinium N atoms. The carboxamide group of the nicotinamidium ion is twisted by 32.3 (6)° from the pyri...

Objectives. Studies comparing outcome of single-(99m)Tc-methoxyisobutylisonitrile ((99m)Tc-sestamibi) and dual-tracer (99m)Tc-sestamibi scintigraphy in combination with (123)I before primary surgery of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) are scarce. Methods. We compared (99m)Tc-sestamibi/(123)I and (99m)Tc-sestamibi in a single-centre retrospective series of 269 PHPT patients. The results were r...

The total cellular content of the fluorescent mitochondrialspecific dye rhodamine 123 (Rh-123) was quantified by butanol extraction as a function of time of exposure and dose for a variety of cell lines. These results were compared with observa tions made by fluorescence microscopy on dye localization and mitochondrial morphology. There appeared to be two categories of cell types based on Rh-12...

What do the Atkins Diet and the traditional Japanese diet have in common? The Atkins Diet is low in carbohydrate and usually high in fat; the Japanese diet is high in carbohydrate and usually low in fat. Yet both work to promote weight loss. One commonality of both diets is that they both eliminate the monosaccharide fructose. Sucrose (table sugar) and its synthetic sister high fructose corn sy...

FCS 840 Community, Societal, and International Research 3(3,0) Covers issues and methods of community, societal, and international research and evaluation; macro-level assessment of the impact of interventions and the documentation of change; multi-method etic and emic strategies, theory-based evaluation, longitudinal designs, and collaborative, consultative models of research.

Effects of cytochrome P-450 3A- and P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-related compounds, erythromycin, midazolam, ketoconazole, verapamil, and quinidine, on transport of rhodamine 123 (Rho-123), a P-gp substrate, were studied in rat intestine and in Caco-2 cells. Ileum was mainly used in rat studies because this segment showed greater P-gp-mediated Rho-123 transport. In an in vitro everted rat ileum, all t...

UNLABELLED Recently, companion diagnostics with nuclear medicine techniques have been anticipated as more suitable means than biopsy for predicting treatment efficacy. The anticancer effect of capecitabine, an orally administered chemotherapeutic agent activated by thymidine phosphorylase (TP), is positively associated with tumor TP expression levels. This study aimed to assess whether TP imagi...
