Antiangiogenic treatment using bevacizumab in brain tumor patients may cause difficulties in the diagnosis of tumor progression (ie, nonenhancing tumor progression). Newly defined criteria for treatment assessment and diagnosis of tumor progression (ie, RANO [Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology]
Chlorine gas exposure occurs in chemical warfare, industrial and household accidents. In forensic science, the generation of chlorine gas by mixing sodium hypochlorite detergent and strong acid detergent cannot be overlooked because of the possibility of suicide method (NaClO + 2HCl → NaCl +
To evaluate the potential toxicity of l-tyrosine, 4 groups of Crl:CD(SD) rats of both sexes were administered l-tyrosine in water suspension by gavage once daily for 13 weeks at doses of 0 (vehicle), 200, 600 or 2000 mg/kg bw/day. Findings related to l-tyrosine administration were as follows. Edema
O-(2-18F-fluoroethyl)-l-tyrosine (18F-FET) PET is a well-established method increasingly used for diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring in gliomas. Epileptic activity, frequently occurring in glioma patients, can influence MRI findings. Whether seizures also affect 18F-FET PET imaging is
OBJECTIVE
Standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) does not depict the true extent of tumour cell invasion in gliomas. We investigated the feasibility of advanced imaging methods, i.e. diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), fibre tracking and O-(2-[(18)F]-fluoroethyl)-L: -tyrosine ((18)F-FET) PET, for the
The thiazolidinedione class PPARγ agonists as antidiabetic agents are restricted in clinical use because of the side effects such as edema, weight gain, and heart failure. The single and selective agonism of PPARγ is the main cause of side effects. The multi-target cooperative PPARα/γ dual agonist
To a series of 21-desoxy-21-chloro-corticosteroids, a metabolically labile methoxycarbonyl group at C-16 has been incorporated. The approach is to synthesize locally active compounds that are hydrolyzed to inactive and readily excretable acid metabolites upon entry into the systemic circulation.
Focused efforts have been made to increase local-to-systemic activity ratios of potent anti-inflammatory steroids for local and/or topical applications. The approach taken in the present investigation is based upon the concept of "antedrug," defined as a locally active compound that exerts its
Background: Progressive cognitive decline following multimodal neurooncological treatment is a common observation in patients suffering from malignant glioma. Alterations of the default-mode network (DMN) represent a possible source of
a-Methyldopa sesquihydrate is used in the treatment of hypertension; over 20 million prescriptions are written annually for a -methyldopa or a-methyldopa sesquihydrate in the United States. a-Methyldopa sesquihydrate (USP grade, greater than 99% pure) was selected for study because of widespread
OBJECTIVE
To prepare carboxymethyl-chitosan/hyaluronic acid/poly(vinyl alcohol) (CHP) blend membrane, evaluate its physicochemical properties and intraocular biocompatibility and to investigate its feasibility to be applied to glaucoma filtering surgery.
METHODS
CHP blend membrane was prepared using
