A mixture of dietary benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) and 2-phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) inhibits lung tumorigenesis by a mixture of benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) and 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) in A/J mice. Previous studies indicated that inhibition of 4-hydroxy-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (HPB) releasing DNA adducts of NNK by PEITC in the lung was responsible for inhibition of ...

New functions and requirements of high performance building (HPB) being added several regulations certification conditions reinforced steadily make it harder for designers to decide HPB designs alone. Although many wish rely on consultants advice, not all projects can afford consultants. We expect that, in the near future, computer aids such as design expert systems help by providing role The e...

AIM To determine the effects of high osmolarity contrast media (HOCM) and iso-osmolar contrast media (CM) application, with or without pressure, on hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) system. METHODS Sixty rats were divided into six equal groups as follows: Group 1: (0.9% NaCl, control), Group 2: (diatrizoate meglumine Na, ionic HOCM, Urographin), Group 3: (iodixanol, iso-osmolar non-ionic CM, Vis...

We recently have found that the human T cell antigen Leu-2 was specifically released from Leu-2-bearing cells. The preliminary study showed that the released Leu-2 (RLeu-2) from HPB-ALL cells was composed of a single polypeptide chain of 27,000 molecular weight (mol wt), which was smaller than the subunit of the homodimeric molecule found on the cell surface. In the present study, RLeu-2 was fu...

BACKGROUND Transfusion practice among surgeons varies despite several trials supporting the restrictive use of blood products. We sought to define the variation in surgeon transfusion hemoglobin (Hb) triggers and targets among patients undergoing hepatopancreaticobiliary (HPB) procedures, as well as assess perioperative outcomes among patients receiving transfusions under a restrictive vs liber...

Immersion-vaccines (bacterins) are routinely used for aquacultured rainbow trout to protect against Yersinia ruckeri (Yr). During immersion vaccination, rainbow trout take up and process the antigens, which induce protection. The zebrafish was used as a model organism to study uptake mechanisms and subsequent antigen transport in fish. A genetically modified Yr was developed to constitutively e...

An intracerebral challenge of HPB black mice with Neisseria gonorrhoeae is described. In this mode, the mice died from 1 to 6 days after challenge, and T1 organisms were obtained up to the fifth day from brain, liver, kidney, and spleen. Experimental gonococcal vaccines gave good protection against the challenge.

N -(2-Pyridylmethyl)iminodiacetic acid hemi-hydrate (H2pmda /0.5H2O) was prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography (final R1 /0.042). The zwitterion H2pmda 9 is intra -stabilized by a trifurcated hydrogen bond. Intermolecular carboxyliccarboxylate hydrogen bonds and the parallel inter-ligand p,p-stacking (3.57(2) Å) between pyridyl rings from pairs of adjacent zwitterions generate 2D ...

BACKGROUND Regular breakfast eating (RBE) is an important contributor to a healthy lifestyle and health status. The aims of the present study were to evaluate the relationships among irregular breakfast eating (IRBE), health status, and health promoting behavior (HPB) for Taiwanese adolescents. METHODS A cross-sectional, descriptive design was used to investigate a cluster sample of 1609 (7th...
