OBJECTIVE In radiation treatment, the irradiation which is effective enough to control the tumors far exceeds normal-tissues tolerance. Thus to avoid such unfavourable outcomes, some methods sensitizing the tumor cells to radiation are used. Iododeoxyuridine (IUdR) is a halogenated thymidine analogue that known to be effective as a radiosensitizer in human cancer therapy. Improving the potentia...

21 22 The objective of this study was to identify a microbial marker for pig manure contamination. 23 We quantified the persistence of four dominant bacterial groups from the pig intestinal tract 24 throughout manure handling in ten livestock operations (including aerobic digestion) using 25 molecular typing. The partial 16S rRNA genes of Bacteroides-Prevotella, Eubacterium26 Clostridiaceae, Ba...

The antiviral activity of 5-methoxymethyl-2'-deoxyuridine (MMUdR) was compared with that of 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine (IUdR), cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C), and adenine arabinoside (Ara-A). At concentrations of 2 to 4 mug/ml, MMUdR was inhibitory to herpes simplex virus type 1, but concentrations as high as 128 mug/ml were not inhibitory to three other herpesviruses tested (equine rhinopneumonitis ...
