Trophic Level Index (TLI) is o en used to assess the general eutrophication state of inland lakes in water science, technology, and engineering. In this paper, a data-driven inland-lake eutrophication assessment method was proposed by using an arti cial neural network (ANN) to build relationships from remote sensing data and in-situ TLI sampling. In order to train the net, Moderate Resolution I...

-A study has been made of the thymidine labelling index (TLI) of marrow blast cells in 201 adults with untreated acute leukaemia. There was no significant difference between the TLI in 172 patients with acute myeloblastic leukaemia and 29 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. The TLI did not correlate with the age, sex, peripheral-blood or marrow blast-cell count, or the platelet count a...

In this study, our aim was to investigate the prognostic features of the thymidine labeling index (TLI) in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The TLI values in tumor tissues and adjacent healthy tissues were assessed in 40 patients who had a pathological diagnosis of laryngeal SCC. The data were correlated with age, pTNM, histological grade and recurrence. The tissues (tumor and adjacent ...

Two functionally and anatomically distinct types of lateral inhibition contribute to the receptive field organization of ganglion cells in the vertebrate retina: sustained lateral inhibition (SLI), which is present during steady illumination and transient lateral inhibition (TLI), evoked by changes in illumination. We studied adaptive changes in these two lateral inhibitory mechanisms in the mu...

Persistent or recurrent acute allograft rejection (AR) refractory to high-dose steroid therapy can adversely affect long-term outcomes of heart-lung (HLT), bilateral-lung (BLT), and single-lung (SLT) transplantations. The use of total lymphoid irradiation (TLI) for the management of refractory acute AR in six transplant recipients (two men, four women; mean age, 29.8 +/- 3.8 years) is detailed....

BACKGROUND Few studies thus far have compared head-to-head different non-myelooablative conditioning regimens for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). METHODS Here, we report the results of a phase II multicenter randomized study comparing non-myeloablative allo-HCT from HLA-identical siblings (n = 54) or from 10/10 HLA-matched unrelated donors (n = 40) with either fludar...

BACKGROUND The standard approach to treatment of relapsed/refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) is high-dose chemotherapy conditioning followed by autologous hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (aHSCT). We report the results of a prospective phase I/II clinical trial of accelerated hyperfractionated total lymphoid irradiation (TLI) immediately followed by high-dose chemotherapy for relapsed/re...

BALB/c mice were treated with fractionated high dose (3,400 rads) total lymphoid irradiation (TLI), and given semiallogeneic (BALB/c x C57BL/Ka) or allogeneic (C57BL/Ka) bone marrow and/or skin allografts. TLI alone prolonged the mean survival time (m.s.t.) of C57BL/Ka skin grafts to 49.1 days (control, 10.7 days). Shielding of the thymus during TLI produced only a slight increase in graft surv...

Collagenase dissociation, performed on 40 human breast can cers, yielded between 1 million and 50 million cells from less than 1 g of tissue from each tumor. Approximately 60% of cells (mean) was considered viable as judged by trypan blue exclusion and phase microscopy. On subsequent flow cytometric analysis, 20 cancers (50%) were considered diploid, three were tetraploid, and the remainder, hy...
