Functional brain imaging has identified specialized neural systems supporting human body perception. Responses to nude vs. clothed bodies within this system are amplified. However, it remains unresolved whether nude and clothed bodies are processed by same cerebral networks or whether processing of nude bodies recruits additional affective and arousal processing areas. We recorded simultaneous ...

Objectives: The monitoring of cancer treatment response to chemotherapy is considered an essential strategy for follow-up of patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of 99mTc-glucarate as a radiotracer for in vivo quantification and visualization of necrotic area and therapeutic effect of paclitaxel in ovarian cancer xenografted nude mice. Materials and Methods: After implantatio...

PURPOSE The present study considered the hypothesis that spontaneous neovascularization of the cornea of nude mice results from a local imbalance between angiogenic and anti-angiogenic factors. METHODS The presence of angiogenic and anti-angiogenic factors was revealed by exchanging orthotopic corneal allografts between nude BALB/c mice and normal (hirsute) euthymic BALB/c mice and observing ...

Nude mice bearing grafts of normal thymus reject skin grafts and have low, but higher than usual, lymphocyte counts. Nude bone marrow can successfully repopulate the thymus and thymus-derived areas of lethelly irradiated recipient mice. Attempts to reconstitute nude mice with normal fetal liver failed. The so-called thymic rudiment of nude mice when grafted to normal mice did not develop thymoc...

Mục tiêu của nghiên cứu này nhằm đánh giá hiệu quả kháng ung thư virus vaccin sởi trên chuột thiếu hụt miễn dịch mang khối phổi người (dòng H460). Virus (MeV) được tách dòng từ Priorix (Glaxosmith Kline, Anh) và tăng sinh trong phòng thí nghiệm. Chuột (nude mouse, Hoa Kỳ) 6 - 8 tuần tuổi, số lượng 20 con, tiêm ghép 106 tế bào H460 (ATCC, vào dưới da đùi sau để tạo nude. Khi u có kích thước khoả...
