The purpose of this study was to evaluate intrafraction prostate motion in patients treated with proton therapy and an endorectal balloon or a hydrogel spacer using orthogonal x-rays acquired before and after each treatment field. This study evaluated 10 patients (662 fields throughout treatment) treated daily with an endorectal balloon (ERB) and 16 patients (840 fields throughout treatment) tr...

background: addition of disinfectant to irreversible hydrocolloid impression materials can eliminate the disinfection step to avoid dimensional changes associated with it. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of various disinfectant mixing liquids on the properties of commercially available irreversible hydrocolloid impression materials. materials and methods: four commercial...

Rice noodles is a common food, but it faced with the characteristics of hard texture and poor nutrition after aging. Quinoa rich in dietary fiber nutritious can enrich color taste rice noodles. In this paper, red quinoa used as an additive, gelatinization time, added amount, water are selected influencing factors on single factor basis, hardness gel response value to carry out experiments optim...

sured FT3 by Immulite 2000 and ACS 180 plus (Bayer Corporation), as an alternative instrument, and triiodothyronine (T3) only by Immulite 2000 (Table 1). A significant group effect was shown by repeated-measures ANOVA in SST results obtained by Immulite 2000 and ACS 180 plus (F 107.25; P 0.001). T3 values gradually increased in both types of tubes with time, and repeated-measures ANOVA showed a...

aluminophosphate-5 (alpo4-5) nano-pore zeolite was synthesized. the effect of alteration in precursor gel preparation on the morphology of zeolite was studied. the effect of variety of synthesis conditions on the purity, crystal and pore size, and crystallinity of alpo4-5 zeolite been studied. a hydrothermal synthesis has been used to produce nano-pore aluminophosphate-5 crystals. the crystals ...

We studied the gel properties of porcine collagen with microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) as a catalyst. A creep meter was used to measure the mechanical properties of gel. The results showed samples with high concentration of MTGase gelled faster than those with a low concentration of MTGase. The gel strength increased with incubation time and the peaks of breaking strength for 0.1, 0.2 and 0...

The paucity of pharmacokinetic data on testosterone gel formulations and absence of such data on estradiol administration in healthy young men constitutes a fundamental gap of knowledge in behavioral endocrinological research. We addressed this issue in a double-blind and placebo controlled study in which we applied a topical gel containing either 150mg of testosterone (N=10), 2mg of estradiol ...

Sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) is a universally used method for determining approximate molecular weight (MW) in protein research. Migration of protein that does not correlate with formula MW, termed "gel shifting" appears to be common for histidine-rich proteins but not yet studied in detail. We investigated "gel shifting" in Ni2+-binding histidine-rich H...

Gel Hand Sanitizer is a hand sanitizer useful for cleaning or eliminating germs on hands. Aloe Vera (Aloe vera L.) contains active substances such as saponins that function antiseptics. Substances contained in noni leaves (Morinda citrifolia act antibacterials are anthraquinones. This study aims to determine whether the combination of extract and Noni leaf can be formulated gel. used experiment...

OBJECTIVE To assess the continued effectiveness and safety of Gel-200 following observation and open-label retreatment in an extension protocol following a randomized, double-blind, phosphate buffered saline (PBS)-controlled trial (initial treatment trial). DESIGN Patients who completed initial blinded treatment were allowed to enroll into this extension protocol that permitted retreatment wi...
