Twenty patients with coronary artery disease were selected at random to study the effects of hemodilution on red blood cell fragility index before undergoing extracorporeal circulation. The purpose of this study is to establish accurate base line values based on hematocrit ranges as a prelude to studying red blood cell trauma during extracorporeal circulation. For each patient studied, five sep...

Background: Brachytherapy treatment planning in cervix carcinoma patients using two dimensional (2D) orthogonal images provides only point dose estimates while CT-based planning provides volumetric dose assessment helping in understanding the correlation between morbidity and the dose to organs at risk (OARs) and treatment volume. Objective: Aim of present study is to compare Internationa...

abstract injection of sulpiride (d2 receptor antagonist, antipsychotic drug) into vmn hypothalamus, increased gastric volume secretion and decreased gastric ph. the present study the effect of sch23390 (d1 dopamine receptor antagonist) on the gastric acid secretion and its acidity were studied. 70 rats were divided into 7 groups: two control groups, two sham groups given medicine solvents, a sc...

The P genome of Agropyron cristatum Gaertn. contains many desirable genes that can be utilized as genetic resources to improve wheat. In this research, we used both the gametocidal chromosome 2Cc and pairing homologous gene (Ph1b) mutant induce structural aberrations translocations between wheat 4P, 5P, 6P chromosomes. By using two approaches, a total 19 wheat-A. have been identified, in which ...

  Background : The major concern in diabetes is increased oxidative stress. Maintaining a balance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidants is a major mechanism in preventing damage from oxidative stress. Quercetin (QR) is a well-known flavonoid and a strong antioxidant derived from the onion, Allium cepa, and it has been shown to reduce oxidative stress in the long-term treatment ...

Purpose: Dosimetric analysis and effect of different definitions prescription point “A” to OAR in high dose rate brachytherapy for cervical cancer. Methods Materials: This retrospective comparative dosimetric study is based on the data 25 patients with histologically proven carcinoma treated HDR (high-dose-rate) brachytherapy. Patients received 21 Gy three fractions (7.0 X fractions) A (AMAN, r...

PURPOSE The goals of this study were (a) to investigate whether preconditioning of immunocompetent mice with PC-61-mediated regulatory T-cell (Treg) depletion and interleukin-2 (IL-2) would enhance systemic delivery of reovirus into subcutaneous tumors and (b) to test whether cyclophosphamide (CPA), which is clinically approved, could mimic PC-61 for modification of Treg activity for translatio...
