Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) play a pivotal role in the early diagnosis of pheochromocytoma (PCC). Herein, we fabricated new dual-targeting nanoprobe for coinstantaneous identification rare PCC-CTCs from peripheral blood via targeting norepinephrine transporter (NET) and somatostatin receptor SSTR2 overexpressed on surface PCC cells. Meta-iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) functionalized magnetic Fe3...

The effect of the correction of the self-interaction error on the calculation of exchange coupling constants with methods based on density-functional theory has been tested in simple model systems. The inclusion of the self-interaction correction cancels the nondynamical correlation energy contributions simulated by the commonly used functionals. Hence, such correction should be important in th...

A novel tubular macrocycle containing four anthracene panels covalently linked by meta-phenylene spacers was synthesized. The tube is approximately 1 nm long with anthracene panels delimiting a columnar cavity with a diameter of ~1 nm and exhibits strong blue fluorescence.

Radioiodinated meta iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is one of the important radiopharmaceuticals in Nuclear Medicine. [123/131I]MIBG is used for imaging of Adrenal medulla, studying heart sympathetic nerves, treatment of pheochromacytoma and neuroblastoma. For clinical application, radioiodinated MIBG is prepared through isotopic exchange method, which includes replacement of radioactive iodine in a...

The recent formalization of the semantics of Message Sequence Charts enables the derivation of tools for MSCs directly from this formal de-nition. We use the Asf+Sdf Meta-environment to make a straightforward implementation of tools for transformation, simulation and requirements testing. In this paper we present the complete speciication of the tools.

We consider a game in which “meta-players” choose finite automata to play a repeated stage game. Meta-players’ utilities are lexicographic, first increasing in the (limit-of-the-means) payoffs of the repeated game and second decreasing in the number of states in their automaton. We examine the outcomes in this game which satisfy a version of evolutionary stability that has been modified to perm...
