There has been a steady decline in the number of applications to nephrology training programs. One solution is to decrease the number of available fellowship positions. Proponents believe that training programs have grown too big but the method for reduction has not been established. This investigation analyzes two models that decrease the number of available training positions and compares the...

To exploit the application of the on-chip cell electrophoresis system to the monitoring of the progress of cellular differentiation, the temporal change in the electrophoretic mobility (EPM) of human promyelocytic leukemia cell lines (HL60) during neutrophil differentiation was systematically investigated. Firstly, to confirm the action of two differentiation inducers, all-trans retinoic acid (...

The study evaluates the possibility of enhancing uptake of etoposide (topoisomerase II inhibitor) by tumor when delivered through polysorbate 20 micelles. The micelle formation was ascertained by determining the critical micellar concentration (CMC) with a du Nouy ring tensiometer and by size measurement using dynamic light scattering. Addition of 5% ethanol decreased the CMC of Polysorbate 20 ...

The aim of this work was to study age-related changes in the behaviour adult Wistar rats using open field (OF) and elevated plus maze (EPM) tests. Behavioural related motor activity anxiety were particular interest. Results showed that as male female progressed from 2 5 months age, there a decrease level exploratory activities an increase their anxiety. Age-related dependent upon initial indivi...
