JCC76 is a derivative of cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2) selective inhibitor nimesulide and exhibits potent anti-breast cancer activity. It selectively induces apoptosis of Her2 positive breast cancer cells. However, the specific molecular targets of JCC76 still remain unclear, which significantly withdraw the further drug development of JCC76. To identify the molecular targets of JCC76, a six carbon l...

Following the publication of our recent work [1], we were asked by the Zorgbalans (Dutch Healthcare Performance Report) project at the National Institute of Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) to withdraw the RIVM affiliation of the third author (O.A. Arah) who is a member of the Zorgbalans project team from the paper. It should be clear that the paper was not – and is not – officially end...

Introduction Parents are very involved in the treatment and care of their child with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). As the child grows older, the dynamics in the family should change by the parents moving into the background and the adolescents gradually taking over the responsibility for the treatment and care. It may be a challenge for the adolescent, the parents and the health care pro...

The biogenic amine serotonin is thought to play an important role in aggression in many species, including man. This paper summarizes experimental approaches which attempt to link this neuromodulator with ®ghting in a cray®sh model for which the complex agonistic behavior is well characterized. Based on a quantitative analysis of ®ghting we demonstrate that the infusion of small amounts of sero...

Two promising designs of counterflow vortex reactor were numerically investigated. Such apparatus utilizes reverse flow to withdraw thermal energy and products from interelectrode area. Complex gasdynamic structure the water-vapor was investigated using turbulent three-dimensional simulation employing Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations along with SST k turbulence model technique tested i...

r William Beaumont provided one of the earliest Ddiscussions of ethics specifically related to surgery and in particular to surgical research when, in 1833, he described his experiments with Alexis St. Martin’s gastric fistula [1]. Dr Beaumont was one of the first scientists in any field who obtained the consent of the research subject, mentioned requirements that would avoid harm to the resear...

409 VOLUME 48__MAY 17, 2011 I read with interest the article by Kaushik, et al. [1]. The authors have covered the topic in all the aspects where an act of commission is required by the doctors. However, I would like know whether an informed consent is necessary when withdrawing life support in a brain dead patient. Is it appropriate that the family is explained the irreversibility of the situat...

Figure 2 Clinical photograph demonstrating the long distal drain still protruding after closure of the arthrotomy (Fig 1). Close the arthrotomy from proximal to distal, leaving the distal end protruding (Fig 2). As you reach the end of the wound where the drain exits the arthrotomy, withdraw the drain to length. As the drain withdraws easily, you can be sure that it has not been sutured into th...
