Wasabi is a plant of Japanese origin. It belongs to the family Brassicaceae and produces various isothiocyanates (ITCs). To clarify the type I allergies inhibited by wasabi ITCs, we investigated the inhibitory effect on chemical mediator release from dinitrophenylated bovine serum albumin (DNP-BSA)-stimulated RBL-2H3 rat basophilic leukemia cells. Allyl ITC (AITC), sec-butyl ITC (s-BuITC), and ...

We model the putative neuronal and synaptic mechanisms involved in learning a visual categorization task, taking inspiration from single-cell recordings in inferior temporal cortex (ITC). Our working hypothesis is that learning the categorization task involves both bottom-up, ITC to pre-frontal cortex (PFC), and top-down (PFC to ITC) synaptic plasticity, and that the latter enhances the selecti...

The induction of NF-E2-related factor-2 (Nrf2)-mediated detoxifying/antioxidant enzymes is recognized as an effective strategy for cancer chemoprevention. Here, we report that 3-morpholinopropyl isothiocyanate (3MP-ITC) is an exceptionally strong chemical inducer of these enzymes. Exposure of 3MP-ITC in HepG2C8 cells not only induced endogenous Nrf2 protein but also suppressed endogenous Kelch-...

The long text classification has got great achievements, but short text classification still needs to be perfected. In this paper, at first, we describe why we select the ITC feature selection algorithm not the conventional TFIDF and the superiority of the ITC compared with the TFIDF, then we conclude the flaws of the conventional ITC algorithm, and then we present an improved ITC feature selec...

PURPOSE To investigate the relation between the quantitative iris parameters and iridotrabecular contact (ITC) in patients with primary angle-closure (PAC) and PAC glaucoma (PACG). MATERIALS AND METHODS PAC and PACG with laser peripheral iridotomy were recruited prospectively. Anterior-segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) was performed under light and dark conditions, and scans were t...

Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) is increasingly common in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) due to improved treatment, and ultimately, prolonged patient survival. The current study is a pooled analysis that evaluated intrathecal chemotherapy (ITC) as a treatment for NSCLC patients with LM. The PUBMED, OVID, EBSCO and Cochrane Library databases were searched for published studies i...

Glucosinolates, phytochemicals found in cruciferous vegetables, are metabolised to bioactive isothiocyanates (ITC) by certain bacteria in the human gut. Substantial individual variation in urinary ITC excretion has been observed in previous cruciferous vegetable-feeding studies. We hypothesised that individual differences in gut microbial community contribute to the observed variation in glucos...

We tested the capacity of antibodies RB733, RB734, RB766, RB767, RB768, RB769, RB770, RB771, RB772 and RB773 to recognize by ELISA three different molecular forms human cardiac troponin T isoform 6 (cTnT): an N-terminal peptide (Nter-cTnT), full-length cTnT protein (FL-cTnT) I-T-C complex (ITC-complex). Our results show that RB734 specifically recognizes region as well alone ITC-complex. or in ...

We describe high-level language constructs for specifying parallel programs and show how they may be used to provide modular speci-cation of communication, synchronization and placement. The high-level constructs are translated into actors which provide exible low-level primi-tives for interconnecting distributed components and eecient execution on concurrent computers. We argue that our lingui...
