Dendrimers have a highly branched nanoscale architecture with low polydispersity and high functionality. Therefore, dendrimers been widely used for nanocarriers in drug delivery systems. This paper gives an overview of the recent progress on the evaluation of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) profiles of PAMAM dendrimers based Simvastatin (SMV) oral formulation in rats. The mechanism ...

Navigator gating techniques can effectively reduce motion effects in MRI by accepting data only when the object is in a small range of positions at the cost of significantly prolonging scan time. A simultaneous multiple volume (SMV) algorithm is reported here that can substantially increase the scan efficiency while maintaining the effectiveness of motion suppression. This is achieved by acquir...

Our main goal in this paper is to investigate stochastic ternary antiderivatives (STAD). First, we will introduce the random antiderivative operator. Then, by introducing aggregation function using special functions such as Mittag-Leffler (MLF), Wright (WF), H-Fox (HFF), Gauss hypergeometric (GHF), and exponential (EXP-F), select optimal control performing necessary calculations. Next, consider...

BACKGROUND Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients frequently present with borderline resectable disease, which can be due to invasion of the portal/superior mesenteric vein (PV/SMV). Here, we analyzed this group of patients, with emphasis on short and long-term outcomes. METHODS 156 patients who underwent a resection for PDAC were included in the analysis and sub-stratified into a c...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play key roles in a variety of cellular processes through regulation of their target gene expression. Accumulated experimental evidence has demonstrated that infections by viruses are associated with the altered expression profile of miRNAs and their mRNA targets in the host. However, the regulatory network of miRNA-mRNA interactions during viral infection remains largely unk...

A DNA complementary to the 3'-terminal 1168 nucleotides of the genome of the N strain of soybean mosaic virus (SMV) has been cloned and sequenced. cDNA sequence and coat protein analyses indicate that the SMV coat protein-coding region is at the 3' end of the genome, and that the coat protein is processed from a larger protein. The coat protein-coding sequence is predicted to be 795 nucleotides...

INTRODUCTION During laparoscopic-assisted colorectal surgery (LACS) for right-sided colon cancer patients, we performed three-dimensional (3D) surgical simulation to investigate vascular anatomy, including the ileocolic artery (ICA), right colic artery (RCA) and superior mesenteric vein (SMV). AIM We also used 3D imaging to examine the shortest distance from the root of the ileocolic vein (IC...
