A unique poly(amido amine) (PAMAM)/polymer dots (Pdots)/NiO heterostructure is developed for photocathodic detection of tyrosinase (TYR), which applicable to TYR in actual human serum samples.

Science the biological activities of chiral enantiomers are often different or even opposite, their recognition is great significance. A new assembly structure named TCPP-Zn-(S)-BINOL was obtained based on interaction between binaphthol (BINOL) and porphyrin-based MOF formed by Meso-Tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine (TCPP) Zn2+, a sensor designed relying TCPP-Zn-(S)-BINOL. The platform using as re...

introduction oculocutaneous albinism (oca) is a genetically heterogeneous autosomal recessive genetic disorder that is characterized by reduced or completely absent pigmentation in the hair, skin, and eyes. conclusions a novel homozygous mutation, the deletion of exons 1 - 5 on the tyr gene, was found on the molecular genetic testing of this patient. exon 1 - 5 deletion on tyr causes a lack of ...

OBJECTIVE Octreotide is used to treat patients with neuroendocrine tumors. Previous reports show that octreotide long-acting repeatable (LAR) dose and patient body weight affect nadir plasma octreotide levels (approximately 1250, 2500, 5000, and 11,000 pg/mL for LAR doses of 10, 20, 30 and 60 mg/mo). However, plasma octreotide levels have decreased over time in patients receiving these doses of...

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a 28-amino acid peptide with a wide range of biological activities. Recent data suggest that functional VIP receptors are expressed on various tumor cells. Somatostatin (SST) and its long-acting analogue octreotide (OCT) are potent inhibitors of tumor cell growth and secretion. In the present study, the interactions between VIP and SST/OCT on primary tumor...

Octreotide exerts a protective effect in hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (HIR) injury. However, whether octreotide preconditioning could also reduce acute kidney injury (AKI) after HIR is unknown. This study was designed to investigate the role of octreotide in AKI after HIR. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were pretreated with octreotide or octreotide combined with 3-methyladenine (autophagy inhibitor, ...

OBJECTIVES Octreotide long acting repeatable (LAR) is widely used for the control of symptoms of functional neuroendocrine tumors. At doses of 30 mg/mo, up to 40% of patients require subcutaneous octreotide "rescue" and up to 40% of patients are given more than 30 mg of LAR/mo. Octreotide acetate binds to the sst2 receptor with an affinity (Kd) of approximately 1 x 10(-9) mol/L (approximately e...

a graphene nanosheets (gns) film coated glassy carbon electrode (gce) was fabricated for sensitive determination of tyrosine (tyr). the gns-based sensor was characterized by scanning electron microscope and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. the voltammetric techniques were employed to study electro-oxidation of tyr. the results revealed that the modified electrode showed an electrocatalyt...

creatic fistula (19.4%) of which 55 patients were excluded from the analysis, because they received octreotide later than 24 h after surgery. Of the remaining 78 patients, 22 were treated with octreotide. Comparing the 22 patients with octreotide with the 56 patients without, the authors found that the lipase activity was not influenced by octreotide and that length of postoperative hospital st...

BACKGROUND Sulfonylureas are used extensively for treating type-2 diabetes mellitus. Sulfonylurea poisoning can produce sustained and profound hypoglycemia refractory to IV dextrose, particularly in children and the elderly. OBJECTIVE To review the use of octreotide, a long-acting somatostatin analog, in the treatment of sulfonylurea-induced hypoglycemia. METHODS A computerized search of U....
