The present study was designed to examine the effects of lead nitrate (LN) and whether selenium has a cardioprotective effect on diabetic and non-diabetic rats. Selenium and LN were administered orally for 28 days to streptozotocin-induced diabetic and non-diabetic rats. Animals were divided into 8 groups: control, sodium selenite, LN, LN+Sodium selenite, diabetic-control, diabetic sodium selen...

Abstract The prognostic benefit of primary tumour and lymph node (LN) downstaging after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC) is well described. However, there no robust evidence regarding the effect pathological LN regression despite emerging a discrepancy, in some patients, between grade response regional LNs. aim this study was to investigate relationship regression, ...

Laminin (LN)-5, a heterotrimer of a3, b3, and g2 chains, has been suggested to be involved in tumor cell invasion. The present immunohistochemical study investigated the distribution of the LN g2 chain in 48 different human gastric adenocarcinomas. The immunohistochemical analysis showed two distinct patterns of LN g2 chain expression: (a) extracellular deposition; and (b) cytoplasmic accumulat...

One of the most difficult tasks in analyzing the results of the overall crystallization kinetics, controlled by the equation a 1⁄4 1 e Kt , is the determination of power n. Usually, this is done in double logarithmic coordinates, i.e. plotting ln[ In(1 a)] against ln t. Because of the property of the logarithmic function, ln0N, this method exaggerates the role of initial stages (a-0) as well as...
