Augmentation of hepatic doxorubicin extraction with extracorporeal filtration avoids the dose-dependent, nonlinear increase in AUC observed with systemic administration
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 1997-12)
Purpose : Regional therapy of primary or metastatic liver cancer with low hepatic extraction ratio drugs such as doxorubicin is constrained by development of systemic toxicity. To examine the effect of augmentation of ...
Cell cycle of Chlorella vulgaris can deviate from the synchronous binary division model
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman and Hall ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-06)
Conditioned medium from high density Chlorella vugaris cultures was freeze dried extracted into ethanol. The ethanol was volatilized and the resulting powder then introduced with C. vulgaris photoautotrophic cultures which ...
Synthesis and characterization of precursors for group II metal aluminates
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 1997-10)
Precursors to Group II metal aluminates (MAI 2 O 4 , M=Mg, Ca, Ba, Sr) are synthesized from inexpensive starting materials including Group II metal oxides/hydroxides, Al(OH) 3 , triethanolamine (TEA) and ethylene glycol, ...
Isolation of a novel plant lectin with an unusual specificity from Calystegia sepium
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman and Hall ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-01)
A novel plant lectin has been isolated from the rhizomes of Calystegia sepium (hedge bindweed) and partially characterized. The lectin is a dimeric protein composed of two identical non-covalently linked subunits of 16kDa. ...
Development and characterization of a biodegradable polyphosphate
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1997-01)
A biodegradable polyphosphate polymer (M n = 18,000, M w /M n = 3.2) matrix system was developed as a potential delivery vehicle for growth factors. As a model system, release of recombinant human osteogenic protein-1 ...
Synergistic inhibition of calcification of porcine aortic root with preincubation in FeCl 3 and α-amino oleic acid in a rat subdermal model
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1997)
Postimplant calcific degeneration is a frequent cause of clinical failure of glutaraldehyde crosslinked porcine aortic valve bioprostheses. We demonstrated previously in rat subdermal and circulatory implants that α-amino ...
Purification and carbohydrate-binding specificity of Agrocybe cylindracea lectin
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman and Hall ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-01)
A lectin was isolated from fruiting bodies of Agrocybe cylindracea by two ion-exchange chromatographies and gel filtration on Toyopearl HW55F. The lectin was homogeneous on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and its molecular ...
Real-Time Measurement of Thin Film Thickness During Plasma Processing
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-12)
An in situ single point two-color laser interferometer is used to monitor in real-time the thickness of thin transparent films during processing. The instantaneous change of film thickness is determined by comparing the ...
Purification and characterization of a new mannose-specific lectin from Sternbergia lutea bulbs
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman and Hall ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-01)
A new mannose-binding lectin was isolated from Sternbergia lutea bulbs by affinity chromatography on an α(1-2)mannobiose-Synsorb column and purified further by gel filtration. This lectin (S. lutea agglutinin; SLA) appeared ...
Effects of metal ions on osteoblast-like cell metabolism and differentiation
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1997-01)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of metal ions, which may be released from orthopedic or dental implants, on osteoblast metabolism and differentiation. ROS 17/2.8 cells were cultured in F-12 medium ...
