BACKGROUND Endometrial cancer (EC) has a poor prognosis due to drug resistance. PATIENTS AND METHODS We evaluated the safety and efficacy of adjuvant combination chemotherapy with docetaxel plus cisplatin ((DP) docetaxel, 70 mg/m(2); cisplatin, 60 mg/m(2); every 28 days) in EC patients at intermediate-risk (IR) or high-risk (HR) for recurrence. RESULTS Sixty-four patients diagnosed with EC ...

Accumulation of large quantity of non-biodegradable textile dyes into the environment made much attention to finding a suitable solution for the degradation of textile dyes. In this present study, decolorization efficiency of two different treatment technologies such as Photo-Assisted Chemical Oxidation (PACO – UV/H2O2) and Electrocoagulation (EC) on Reactive ...

Thymol, an important and advantageous component of many essential oils, has been applied as an antimicrobial agent in animals. To increase the duration of action of this compound in ruminants, it was decided here to prepare a controlled release carrier for thymol. Hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) and ethyl cellulose (EC) were used as the matrix polymer here. Mixtures of thymol with eight ...

An electrochemical treatment (EC) was applied at different intensities to degrade the chromophoric groups of dyes C.I. Reactive Black 5 (RB5) and C.I. Reactive Blue 7 (Rb7) until uncolored species were obtained. Decolorization rate constants of the azo dye RB5 were higher than the phtalocyanine Rb7 ones. In addition, the EC treatment was more efficient at higher intensities, but these condition...

Extreme conditions (EC) research investigates how the structures and physical and chemical properties of materials change when subjected to extremes of pressure and temperature. Pressures in excess of one million times atmospheric pressure can be achieved using a diamond anvil cell, and, in combination with high-energy, micro-focused radiation from a third-generation synchrotron such as Diamond...

Present study was performed to investigate the variables that influence the removal efficiency of malachite green (aniline) dye from aqueous solution by an electrochemical (EC) technique. The batch EC studies were performed using iron electrode to evaluate the effect of operating parameters such as pHo and processes parameters such as current density and initial dye concentration. Parameters pH...

We demonstrate a highly sensitive electrochemical immunosensor based on the combined use of substrate recycling and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) coated with tyrosinase (TYR) and magnetic nanoparticles (MNP). Both TYR and MNP were immobilized on the surface of CNTs by covalent attachment, followed by additional cross-linking via glutaraldehyde treatment to construct multi-layered cross-linked TYR-MNP...
