Feasibility of thiotepa addition to the fludarabine-busulfan conditioning with tacrolimus/sirolimus as graft vs host disease prophylaxis.
2020
In classical reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens, including the fludarabine and busulphan (BF) combination, sirolimus and tacrolimus (SIR-TAC) as graft vs host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis has shown acceptable results. The outcomes of SIR-TAC in a more intense RIC regimen as Thiotepa-fludarabine-busulfan (TBF) have been hardly investigated. This retrospective study included all consecutive patients receiving an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for myeloid malignancies (January 2009-2017) conditioned with either TBF or BF and receiving SIR-TAC. Patients receiving TBF presented higher non-relapse mortality (31.6 vs 12.3%,p = .01), along with shorter overall survival …
Ofatumumab Combined With Fludarabine and Cyclophosphamide (O-FC) Shows High Activity in Patients With Previously Untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukem…
2010
Abstract 207 Introduction: Chemoimmunotherapy regimens have become the treatment standard for patients with CLL. Ofatumumab is a human monoclonal antibody that targets a unique small-loop epitope on CD20 and elicits rapid and efficient in vitro complement-dependent cytotoxicity, as well as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. Recent studies demonstrated single-agent ofatumumab activity, with high overall response rates (ORR) in patients with refractory CLL. We conducted an international, randomized, parallel group, Phase II trial with two doses of ofatumumab combined with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide (FC) in previously untreated patients with CLL to evaluate the efficacy and tolera…
Edible Arabinoxylan-Based Films. 1. Effects of Lipid Type on Water Vapor Permeability, Film Structure, and Other Physical Characteristics
2002
Arabinoxylans (AX) are natural fibers extracted from maize bran, an industrial byproduct. To promote this polymer as a food ingredient, development of edible coatings and films had been proposed. Indeed, composite arabinoxylan-based films were prepared by emulsifying a fat: palmitic acid, oleic acid, triolein, or a hydrogenated palm oil (OK35). Lipid effects on water vapor permeability (WVP), surface hydrophobicity (contact angles), lipid particle size, and mechanical properties were investigated. Results showed that OK35-AX emulsion films had the lowest WVP. Emulsified films presented a bimodal particle size distribution; however, the smallest particle mean diameter (0.54 microm) was obser…
Graphical Structure of Attraction Basins of Hidden Chaotic Attractors : The Rabinovich-Fabrikant System
2019
The attraction basin of hidden attractors does not intersect with small neighborhoods of any equilibrium point. To the best of our knowledge this property has not been explored using realtime interactive three-dimensions graphics. Aided by advanced computer graphic analysis, in this paper, we explore this characteristic of a particular nonlinear system with very rich and unusual dynamics, the Rabinovich–Fabrikant system. It is shown that there exists a neighborhood of one of the unstable equilibria within which the initial conditions do not lead to the considered hidden chaotic attractor, but to one of the stable equilibria or are divergent. The trajectories starting from any neighborhood o…
Hidden attractors on one path : Glukhovsky-Dolzhansky, Lorenz, and Rabinovich systems
2017
In this report, by the numerical continuation method we visualize and connect hidden chaotic sets in the Glukhovsky-Dolzhansky, Lorenz and Rabinovich systems using a certain path in the parameter space of a Lorenz-like system.
Looking More Closely at the Rabinovich-Fabrikant System
2016
Recently, we looked more closely into the Rabinovich–Fabrikant system, after a decade of study [Danca & Chen, 2004], discovering some new characteristics such as cycling chaos, transient chaos, chaotic hidden attractors and a new kind of saddle-like attractor. In addition to extensive and accurate numerical analysis, on the assumptive existence of heteroclinic orbits, we provide a few of their approximations.

Marine Anticancer Agents: An Overview with a Particular Focus on Their Chemical Classes
2020
The marine environment is a rich source of biologically active molecules for the treatment of human diseases, especially cancer. The adaptation to unique environmental conditions led marine organisms to evolve di erent pathways than their terrestrial counterparts, thus producing unique chemicals with a broad diversity and complexity. So far, more than 36,000 compounds have been isolated from marine micro- and macro-organisms including but not limited to fungi, bacteria, microalgae, macroalgae, sponges, corals, mollusks and tunicates, with hundreds of new marine natural products (MNPs) being discovered every year.Marine-based pharmaceuticals have started to impactmodern pharmacology and diff…
Evaluation of Two Method to Measure Xylanase Activity in Relation with Rheological Effects of Xylanases on White Flour
2011
Many methods are available to measure the xylanase activity of enzymatic preparation. Most of method uses different substrates from those that will be hydrolyzed in various applications in food industry. This fact will lead to a deformed image about how evaluated xylanases will really act in a specific application. The aim of this study is to evaluate the activity of seven xylanase preparation with two method, a colorimetric method with birch insoluble xylan as substrate and a viscometric method with wheat soluble arabinoxylan as substrate.
Functional evidence for GABA as modulator of the contractility of the longitudinal muscle in mouse duodenum: Role of GABAA and GABAC receptors
2007
We investigated, in vitro, the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) on the spontaneous mechanical activity of the longitudinal smooth muscle in mouse duodenum. GABA induced an excitatory effect, consisting in an increase in the basal tone, which was antagonized by the GABA(A)-receptor antagonist, bicuculline, potentiated by (1,2,5,6-Tetrahydropyridin-4-yl)methylphosphinic acid hydrate (TPMPA), a GABA(C)-receptor antagonist and it was not affected by phaclofen, a GABA(B)-receptor antagonist. Muscimol, GABA(A) receptor agonist, induced a contractile effect markedly reduced by bicuculline, tetrodotoxin (TTX), hexamethonium and atropine. Cis-4-aminocrotonic acid (CACA), a specific GABA(C) …
