When sweet potato root tissues were infested by the larvae of weevil, Cylas formicarius and West Indian Euscepes postfasciatus, furano-terpenoids coumarins produced in brown necrotic layer formed during infestation. The larval homogenates both weevils also induced tissue production furanoterpenoids coumarins, as well formation layer. homogenate weevil ethylene formation, marker injury tissue. Investigations on furano-terponoid inducing factor demonstrated that was 20mM KCl-soluble,...
Radioimmunoassay of angiotensin I and its appli-cation to the measurement plasma renin activity (PRA) was studied. The assay method consists incubation at 37°C, pH 5.5 for 6 hours with disodium ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) di-isopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP) radioimmunoassay generated during incubation. values PRA determined by present showed a good correlation that bioassay. We examined find ideal conditions in each step this procedure found high specificity, sensitivity...
For stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) of liver tumors, tumor motion induced by respiration must be taken into account in planning and treatment. We evaluated whether at the simulation represents during SBRT, estimated inter- intrafractional changes patients undergoing SBRT. Ten underwent four-dimensional cone-beam computed tomography (4D-CBCT) image-guided SBRT with abdominal compression (AC) fiducial markers. 4D-CBCT was performed to evaluate simulation, pre-, post-SBRT. The...
Urinary kallikrein excretion was measured in 21 healthy subjects and 44 patients with various types of hypertension. The activity determined by the method esterolytic assay. rates normal were 112.9 +/- 11.1 (S.E.) EU/day. decreased essential hypertension, mean estimated values 75.2 10.0 In this disease, however, an enhancement urinary observed after sodium depletion. An obvious increase found primary aldosteronism. aldosteronism renovascular one secondary aldosteronisms, there a good...
Neutral and acidic oligosaccharides were isolated from the milk or colostrum of four great ape species (chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), bonobo paniscus), gorilla (Gorilla gorilla), orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus)) one lesser (siamang (Symphalangus syndactylus)), their chemical structures characterized by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Oligosaccharides containing type II unit (Gal(β1-4)GlcNAc) found exclusively (gorilla siamang) predominately (chimpanzee, bonobo, orangutan) over those I (Gal(β1-3)GlcNAc). In...
The apolipoprotein(a) (apo[a]) gene encodes a protein component of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] whose plasma levels vary widely among individuals. Hyper-Lp(a)-emia constitutes risk factor for thromboembolic disease. We previously subclassified the apo(a) into four allelic types (A-D) by polymorphisms in 5'-flanking region. To elucidate whether these affect expression apo(a), we measured Lp(a) concentrations vivo ELISA and examined an vitro assay using its Homozygotes type C had significantly...
Aim: Our study sought to identify dosimetric predictors of treatment-related lymphopenia during chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer. Materials and Methods: Patients with cancer who had received definitive at our Institution were retrospectively assessed. The absolute volume the spleen, body, bone marrow that 5, 10, 20, 30 Gy mean splenic dose recorded. Results: Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed docetaxel use spleen dose–volume parameters (V5, V10, V20, V30, dose)...
Purpose of this study is to evaluate patient characteristics, treatments and outcomes in bone metastasis radiotherapy practice. Patients for whom was planned at 26 institutions Japan between December 2020 March 2021 were consecutively registered prospective, observational study. Study measures included pain relief, skeletal-related events (SREs), overall survival incidence radiation-related adverse events. Pain evaluated using a numerical rating scale (NRS) from 0 10. Irradiated dose...
Purpose : This study evaluated the effect of die spacer on fit and retention complete cast crowns by using three different cements. Materials Methods Standardized full crown restoration preparations were completed 99 extracted molar teeth, impressions made with poly(vinyl siloxane), stone dies made. Dies covered four layers techniques: (1) covering occlusal 1/3 axial surfaces, (2) 2/3 (3) entire preparation except apical 0.5 mm preparation. Complete metal Pors‐on 4 alloy. Crowns then...
Abstract Background To review a single institutional experience of the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) 8502 “QUAD shot” regimen using volumetric modulated arc radiotherapy (VMAT) for incurable head and neck cancer (HNC). Methods Thirty-four consecutive patients with HNC were treated at least one cycle RTOG regimen. Treatment plans included use VMAT 6 MV photons generated by linear accelerator. Two daily fractions 3.7 Gy delivered an interval h 2 days, totaling 14.8 over 4 fractions....
