The purpose of this study was to differentiate post-chemoradiotherapy (CRT) changes from tumor persistence/recurrence in early follow-up naso-oropharyngeal carcinoma on magnetic resonance (MRI) with diffusion (DWI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced perfusion-weighted imaging (DCE-PWI). A total 37 patients were assessed MRI both for staging 4-month ending CRT. Mean apparent coefficient (ADC) values,...

The complexation of copper(II) perchlorate with cis,trans-1,3,5-triamino-cyclohexane (transtachH) yields four related mononuclear complexes, [Cu(trans-tachH)2](ClO4)4·(H2O) (1), [Cu(transtachH)2](ClO4)4·2MeOH (2), [Cu(trans-tachH)2(ClO4)](ClO4)3 (3) and [Cu(trans-tach)(transtachH)(ClO4)2](ClO4)·H2O (4). These complexes only differ with respect to ligand protonation, solvent coordination / conte...

Conjugated fatty acids have attracted much attention as a novel type of biologically beneficial functional lipid. Some isomers of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) reduce carcinogenesis, atherosclerosis, and body fat. Considering the use of CLA for medicinal and nutraceutical purposes, a safe isomer-selective process is required. The introduction of biological reactions for CLA production could be...
