An isoreticular series of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) IFPs (IFP, imidazolate Potsdam) is investigated for their morphological properties and adsorption behaviour. The materials are characterized phenomenologically with respect to particle size tendency agglomerate formation, internal structure. For this purpose, material densities, pore distributions, specific inner surfaces, porosities det...

The territory once administered by the KwaZulu homeland, roughly 30 per cent of current province KwaZulu-Natal, belongs to Ingonyama Trust. After South Africa’s first democratic elections 26–28 April 1994, other nine homelands were integrated into a unitary state. land they came under authority national government. was only exception. How did 2.8 million hectares end up in trust with Zulu king ...

dent ulcerative colitis had been treated with tacrolimus therapy. He underwent colonoscopy to evaluate the therapeutic effect of the tacrolimus therapy. Endoscopic examination revealed complete mucosal healing throughout the entire colon. However, a pedunculated polyp, 10mm in size, which exhibited superficial areas of ulceration on its surface, was detected at the sigmoid colon (●" Fig. 1). Th...

INTRODUCTION Solid tumors are known to have an abnormal vasculature that limits the distribution of chemotherapy. We have recently shown that tumor vessel modulation by low-dose photodynamic therapy (L-PDT) could improve the uptake of macromolecular chemotherapeutic agents such as liposomal doxorubicin (Liporubicin) administered subsequently. However, how this occurs is unknown. Convection, the...

Interstitial fluid is a solution that bathes and surrounds the human cells and provides them with nutrients and a way of waste removal. It is generally believed that elevated tumor interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) is partly responsible for the poor penetration and distribution of therapeutic agents in solid tumors, but the complex interplay of extravasation, permeabilities, vascular heterogene...

This study was conducted to examine the effects of Intermittent feeding programme (IFP) and Bacillus subtilis-based probiotic (BSP) addition in diet on liver malic enzyme and isocitrate dehydrogenase activity, lipid metabolism and performance in broiler chickens. Five hundred and four one-day old male broiler chicks were randomly allocated in four experimental treatments (T1, T2, T3 and T4). Gr...

The aim of this study was to investigate the structural characteristics of podocytes and endothelial cells in diabetic nephropathy. We studied 18 patients with type 1 diabetes (seven normoalbuminuric, six microalbuminuric, and five proteinuric), and six normal control subjects. Groups were not different for age. Type 1 diabetic groups were not different for diabetes duration or age at diabetes ...

The intermediate filament protein (IFP) characteristics of a panel of lung cancer cell lines including adenocarcinoma (two cell lines) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC, three classic and three variant cell lines) were examined using one- and two-dimensional gel electrophoretic techniques, immunocytochemical techniques and immunoblotting assays. A panel of 28 monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies...
