The antitumor and immunomodulatory activity of broken-spore of Ganodermalucidum polysaccharides (Gl-BSP) were investigated in vivo and in vitro. It was showed that Gl-BSP (50, 100, and 200 mg kg(-1)) exhibited antitumor effect against Sarcoma 180 (S180) in BALB/c mice. The Gl-BSP was not cytotoxicity in S180 cells and PG cells (human lung carcinoma cell) in vitro. However, serum from Gl-BSP-tre...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether an optimal blood suppression inversion time (BSP TI) can boost arterial visibility and whether the optimal BSP TI is related to breathing rate (BR) and heart rate (HR) for hypertension subjects in spatial labeling with multiple inversion pulses (SLEEK). MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective study included 10 volunteers and 93 consecutive hypertension patients w...

In this paper, we introduce the model of Bromsulphthalein (BSP) test whose components are BSP in blood, BSP in liver and BSP in bile with fractional order. Generalized Euler method (GEM) is performed to solve the problem. We compare fractional results and integer results with clinical data. The results show that the fractional order is closer than clinical data than standard model.

Binary Space Partitioning Trees (BSP-Trees) have been proposed as an alternative way to represent polytopes based on the spatial subdivision paradigm. Algorithms that convert from Boundary Representation (BRep) to BSP-Trees have been proposed, but none is known to perform the opposite conversion. In this paper we present such an algorithm , that takes as input a BSP-Tree representation for a po...

A statistical comparison of different BSP tests was carried out in normal subjects and in patients with various degrees of chronic liver damage. Only the logarithm of the BSP retention correlated linearly with the physiologically more meaningful determination of the maximal excretory capacity of the liver (BSP Tm, Wheele's method). A double logarithmic transformation was required to correlate t...

Experiments were performed with the infusion of sulfobromophthalein (BSP) for brief periods (15 mm.) in man, following an initial massive dose of dye at the beginning of the experiment. Infusion was such as to ensure a continuous increase in the plasma BSP level. In these conditions, BSP removal due to the storage capacity of the liver was studied. The rate of removal was found to depend on the...

In addition to their catalytic functions, GSTs (glutathione S-transferases) bind a wide variety of structurally diverse non-substrate ligands. This ligandin function is known to result in the inhibition of catalytic function. The interaction between hGSTA1-1 (human class Alpha GST with two type 1 subunits) and a non-substrate anionic ligand, BSP (bromosulphophthalein), was studied by isothermal...

The Bulk Synchronous Parallel (BSP) model provides a uni-ed framework for the design and programming of general purpose parallel computing systems. In this paper we describe some programming language developments which are currently being pursued as part of this new, uniied approach to scalable parallel computing. A parallel random access machine (PRAM) 4] consists of a collection of processors...

Previous studies in cultured rat hepatocytes revealed that initial uptake of sulfobromophthalein (BSP) was markedly reduced upon removal of Cl- from the medium. In the present study, unidirectional Cl- gradients were established in short-term cultured rat hepatocytes and their effect on BSP uptake was determined. These investigations revealed that BSP uptake requires external Cl- and is not sti...
