To prepare lomustine-iohexol compound liposomes, and evaluate the properties, determine the entrapment efficiency. Liposomes were prepared by reverse evaporation method; orthogonal design was used to optimize the formulation. Free drugs and liposomes were separated using protamine aggregation method and entrapment efficiency was determined by HPLC. The optimal formula was as follows: soybean ph...

Flexor tendon entrapment after a pediatric forearm fracture is a rarely reported complication that is often diagnosed late. Flexor tendon entrapment is more frequently reported after distal forearm fractures, and possible etiologies include fibrosis secondary to hemorrhage at the fracture site and simple entrapment of the muscle belly.This article describes a case of ring finger flexor digitoru...

background: about 83% of patients with breast cancer (bc) undergo radiation therapy. these patients show various degrees of mild to acute reactions during and after the completion of treatment.the aim of this study was to compare inherent radiosensitivity of gamma-irradiated g0-lymphocytes between bc patients and normal individuals using cytokinesis blocked micronucleous assay. methods: three t...

BACKGROUND Prior research has validated the construct of a suicide crisis syndrome (SCS), a specific psychological state that precedes and may precipitate suicidal behavior. The feeling of entrapment is a central concept of the SCS as well as of several other recent models of suicide. However, its exact relationship with suicidality is not fully understood. In efforts to clarify the exact role ...

A novel bio nanocomposite of Carboxymethyl Starch (CMS)-Chitosan (CS)-Montmorillonite (MMT) was developed for Curcumin delivery. To improve Curcumin entrapment into Cs-CMS-MMT, different ratios of Chitosan (Cs), Carboxymethyl Starch (CMS) and MMT were used. Particle size and Curcumin entrapment efficiency (EE) were highly affected by different formulation variables. Polysaccharide concentration...

The diminished cardiac contractility in heart failure (HF) can partially be explained by a reduced activity of the cardiac sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca 2+-ATPase SERCA2a. Improving its function is a potential strategy to improve cardiac contractility and reverse remodeling. This might be achieved by increasing SERCA2a's affinity for Ca 2+. Compared to SERCA2a, the ubiquitous SERCA2b isoform ...

The purpose of this article is to provide information that facilitates the critical evaluation of the thoracic outlet syndrome and other nerve entrapment syndromes in the regions of the posterior cervical triangle and the shoulder. General comments regarding entrapment are followed by discussions of specific entrapment sites. Each discussion stresses the anatomic view and includes comments on c...

The primary purpose of this study was to examine whether a group of university students would report role entrapment of people who stutter (PWS) in the form of occupational stereotyping. The study also examined whether severity of stuttering (mild or severe) and level of therapy involvement (choosing or not choosing to attend therapy) affected the perceptions of role entrapment. To examine thes...

Hepatic abscesses caused by ingested foreign bodies have been reported in the medical literature but represent very uncommon events. Extra-luminal migration of sawing needles and pins is the most common cause of perforation of the gastrointestinal tract associated with liver infections. Other non-metallic sharp objects such as animal bones and toothpicks have been described but are less frequen...
