Vargas, Hebert Alberto published the artcileBone metastases in castration-resistant prostate cancer: associations between morphologic CT patterns, glycolytic activity, and androgen receptor expression on PET and overall survival., Application In Synthesis of 117-96-4, the main research area is .

PURPOSE: To compare the features of bone metastases at computed tomography (CT) to tracer uptake at fluorine 18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) and fluorine 18 16β-fluoro-5-dihydrotestosterone (FDHT) PET and to determine associations between these imaging features and overall survival in men with castration-resistant prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective study of 38 patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer. Two readers independently evaluated CT, FDG PET, and FDHT PET features of bone metastases. Associations between imaging findings and overall survival were determined by using univariate Cox proportional hazards regression. RESULTS: In 38 patients, reader 1 detected 881 lesions and reader 2 detected 867 lesions. Attenuation coefficients at CT correlated inversely with FDG (reader 1: r = -0.3007; P < .001; reader 2: r = -0.3147; P < .001) and FDHT (reader 1: r = -0.2680; P = .001; reader 2: r = -0.3656; P < .001) uptake. The number of lesions on CT scans was significantly associated with overall survival (reader 1: hazard ratio [HR], 1.025; P = .05; reader 2: HR, 1.021; P = .04). The numbers of lesions on FDG and FDHT PET scans were significantly associated with overall survival for reader 1 (HR, 1.051-1.109; P < .001) and reader 2 (HR, 1.026-1.082; P â‰?.009). Patients with higher FDHT uptake (lesion with the highest maximum standardized uptake value) had significantly shorter overall survival (reader 1: HR, 1.078; P = .02; reader 2: HR, 1.092; P = .02). FDG uptake intensity was not associated with overall survival (reader 1, P = .65; reader 2, P = .38). CONCLUSION: In patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer, numbers of bone lesions on CT, FDG PET, and FDHT PET scans and the intensity of FDHT uptake are significantly associated with overall survival.

Helbren, Emma published the artcileCT colonography: clinical evaluation of a method for automatic coregistration of polyps at follow-up surveillance studies., Quality Control of 117-96-4, the main research area is .

PURPOSE: To evaluate the accuracy of a method of automatic coregistration of the endoluminal surfaces at computed tomographic (CT) colonography performed on separate occasions to facilitate identification of polyps in patients undergoing polyp surveillance. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Institutional review board and HIPAA approval were obtained. A registration algorithm that was designed to coregister the coordinates of endoluminal colonic surfaces on images from prone and supine CT colonographic acquisitions was used to match polyps in sequential studies in patients undergoing polyp surveillance. Initial and follow-up CT colonographic examinations in 26 patients (35 polyps) were selected and the algorithm was tested by means of two methods, the longitudinal method (polyp coordinates from the initial prone and supine acquisitions were used to identify the expected polyp location automatically at follow-up CT colonography) and the consistency method (polyp coordinates from the initial supine acquisition were used to identify polyp location on images from the initial prone acquisition, then on those for follow-up prone and follow-up supine acquisitions). Two observers measured the Euclidean distance between true and expected polyp locations, and mean per-patient registration accuracy was calculated. Segments with and without collapse were compared by using the Kruskal-Wallace test, and the relationship between registration error and temporal separation was investigated by using the Pearson correlation. RESULTS: Coregistration was achieved for all 35 polyps by using both longitudinal and consistency methods. Mean ± standard deviation Euclidean registration error for the longitudinal method was 17.4 mm ± 12.1 and for the consistency method, 26.9 mm ± 20.8. There was no significant difference between these results and the registration error when prone and supine acquisitions in the same study were compared (16.9 mm ± 17.6; P = .451). CONCLUSION: Automatic endoluminal coregistration by using an algorithm at initial CT colonography allowed prediction of endoluminal polyp location at subsequent CT colonography, thereby facilitating detection of known polyps in patients undergoing CT colonographic surveillance.

Bakhshi, Sameer published the artcilePediatric nonlymphoblastic non-Hodgkin lymphoma: baseline, interim, and posttreatment PET/CT versus contrast-enhanced CT for evaluation–a prospective study., SDS of cas: 117-96-4, the main research area is .

PURPOSE: To prospectively examine the roles of positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) and conventional contrast material-enhanced CT at baseline, after two cycles of chemotherapy, and after completion of chemotherapy in pediatric patients with nonlymphoblastic non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) who were treated with similar standard treatment protocols. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The institutional ethics committee approved the study protocol, and all patients were enrolled after written informed consent was obtained. Patients with nonlymphoblastic NHL were prospectively enrolled between January 2008 and March 2010. Patients underwent contrast-enhanced CT and PET/CT for staging and for response assessment after two cycles of chemotherapy (interim) and treatment completion. Complete metabolic response versus no metabolic response at PET/CT and complete response versus no complete response at contrast-enhanced CT was analyzed by using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. RESULTS: The final study included 34 patients with nonlymphoblastic NHL (median age, 10.5 years). Baseline PET/CT and contrast-enhanced CT showed concordance in depiction of 112 disease sites; PET/CT depicted 18 more disease sites and two fewer disease sites than contrast-enhanced CT (P = .0003). Disease in five of 34 patients was upstaged, and disease in no patient was downstaged at PET/CT. There was 100% (four of four) concordance between bone marrow involvement at biopsy and stage at PET/CT. The median length of follow-up was 20.3 months. Response at interim PET/CT and contrast-enhanced CT could not predict progression-free survival (PFS) (P = .083 and .18, respectively) or overall survival (OS) (P = .159 and.08, respectively). Posttreatment PET/CT and contrast-enhanced CT findings could predict PFS (P = .036 and .002, respectively) and posttreatment contrast-enhanced CT findings could predict OS (P = .035); however, posttreatment PET/CT findings could not predict OS (P = .067). CONCLUSION: PET/CT depicts additional sites compared with contrast-enhanced CT and results in upstaging of disease. Either PET/CT or contrast-enhanced CT may be used for response assessment and prognostication in stage III or IV nonlymphoblastic pediatric NHL.

Navedo, Juan G. published the artcileAssessing the effects of human activities on the foraging opportunities of migratory shorebirds in Austral high-latitude bays, Category: isoquinoline, the main research area is .

Human presence at intertidal areas could impact coastal biodiversity, including migratory waterbird species and the ecosystem services they provide. Assessing this impact is therefore essential to develop management measures compatible with migratory processes and associated biodiversity. Here, we assess the effects of human presence on the foraging opportunities of Hudsonian godwits (Limosa haemastica, a trans-hemispheric migratory shorebird) during their non-breeding season on Chiloé Island, southern Chile. We compared bird d. and time spent foraging in two similar bays with contrasting disturbance levels: human presence (mostly seaweed harvesters accompanied by dogs) was on average 0.9±0.4 people per 10 ha in the disturbed bay, whereas it was negligible (95% days absent) in the non-disturbed bay. Although overall abundances were similar between bays, godwit d. was higher in the non-disturbed bay throughout the low tide period. Both days after the start of the non-breeding season and tidal height significantly affected godwit d., with different effects in either bay. Time spent foraging was significantly higher in the non-disturbed bay (86.5±1.1%) than in the disturbed one (81.3±1.4%). As expected, godwit d. significantly decreased with the number of people and accompanying dogs in the disturbed bay. Our results indicate that even a low d. of people and dogs can significantly reduce the foraging opportunities of shorebirds. These constraints, coupled with addnl. flushing costs, may neg. affect godwits’ pre-migratory fattening. Hence, as a first step we suggest limiting human presence within bays on Chiloé to 1 person per 10 ha and banning the presence of accompanying dogs in sensitive conservation areas.

McCall, Michael D published the artcileHistopaque provides optimal mouse islet purification kinetics: comparison study with Ficoll, iodixanol and dextran., Related Products of isoquinoline, the main research area is .

Islet transplantation has become a very promising treatment for type 1 diabetes. To facilitate further clinical improvements in this exciting field, rodent islets are used to evaluate new strategies and modifications. One method to purify islets is on a density gradient, although the optimal gradient component can be debated. N=6 separate mouse islet isolations were used and the resulting islets were separated and purified on either a Ficoll, Histopaque, Dextran or Iodixanol gradient. Islets were assessed for recovery, viability, purity and in vitro functionality. Aliquots were transplanted into diabetic mice to assess in vivo functionality and survival. There was no difference in the number of islets recovered across groups nor in the size of recovered islets. Use of a Ficoll or Histopaque gradient led to the most pure and viable islets in comparison to Dextran and Iodixanol. Functionally, islets isolated on a Ficoll gradient had the highest glucose-stimulated insulin release in vitro while performing equally to Histopaque and Dextran gradients in vivo. Using a Ficoll gradient, however, comes at a higher monetary cost. We recommend using a Histopaque gradient, which led to the isolation of viable and functional islets with a reduced cost as compared to a Ficoll gradient.

Toren, Kjell published the artcileEffect of Occupational Exposure to Vapors, Gases, Dusts, and Fumes on COPD Mortality Risk Among Swedish Construction Workers, Synthetic Route of 117-96-4, the main research area is .

The aim of the present study was to elucidate whether occupational exposure to vapors, gases, dusts, and fumes increases the mortality risk of COPD, especially among never smokers. The study population was a cohort of 354,718 male construction workers; of these, 196,329 were exposed to vapors, gases, dusts, and fumes, and 117,964 were unexposed. Exposure to inorganic dust, wood dust, vapors, fumes, gases, and irritants was based on a job-exposure matrix with a focus on exposure in the mid-1970s. The cohort was followed from 1971 to 2011. Relative risks (RRs) were obtained using Poisson regression models adjusting for age, BMI, and smoking habits. There were 1,085 deaths from COPD among the exposed workers, including 49 never smokers. Workers with any occupational exposure to vapors, gases, fumes, and dust showed an increased mortality due to COPD (RR, 1.32; 95% CI, 1.18-1.47). When comparing different exposure groups, there was a significantly increased mortality due to COPD among those exposed to fumes (RR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.07-1.36) and inorganic dust (RR, 1.19; 95% CI ,1.07-1.33). Among never smokers, there was high mortality due to COPD among workers with any occupational airborne exposure (RR, 2.11; 95% CI, 1.17-3.83). The fraction of COPD attributable to occupational exposure was 0.24 among all workers and 0.53 among never-smoking workers. Occupational exposure to airborne pollution increases the mortality risk for COPD, especially among never smokers.

1,3-Bis(trifluoromethyl)prop-2-ene 1-iminium triflate salts were prepared for the first time and some synthetic applications as 1,3-biselectrophilic building blocks were established. They were found to react with dimethoxybenzenes or methylene-1,2-dioxybenzenes to furnish vinylogous trifluoroacetylation products (4-aryl-1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoropent-3-en-2-ones) and 1-dialkylamino-1,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)-1 H-indenes. With aniline and ring-substituted anilines, 2,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)quinolines were formed. An unusual 4 H-pyran, formally a condensation product of the N, N-dimethyl-1,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)prop-2-en-1-iminium ion and its enaminone precursor, is also reported.

Hammond, Sean published the artcileT cell mediated hypersensitivity to previously tolerated iodinated contrast media precipitated by introduction of atezolizumab., Computed Properties of 117-96-4, the main research area is T-lymphocytes; adaptive immunity; lymphocyte activation.

Many adverse reactions associated with immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatments are immunologically driven and may necessitate discontinuation of the ICI. Herein, we present a patient who had been administered the radio contrast media amidotrizoate multiple times without issue but who then developed a Stevens-Johnson syndrome reaction after coadministration of atezolizumab. Causality was confirmed by a positive re-challenge with amidotrizoate and laboratory investigations that implicated T cells. Importantly, the introduction of atezolizumab appears to have altered the immunologic response to amidotrizoate in terms of the tolerance-elicitation continuum. Proof of concept studies demonstrated enhancement of recall responses to a surrogate antigen panel following in-vitro (healthy donors) and in-vivo (ICI patients) administrations of ICIs. Our findings highlight the importance of considering all concomitant medications in patients on ICIs who develop immune-mediated adverse reactions. In the event of some immune-related adverse reactions, it may be critical to identify the culprit antigen-forming entity that the ICIs have altered the perception of rather than simply attribute causality to the ICI itself in order to optimize both patient safety and treatment of malignancies.

Alyahya, Mashael Y. published the artcileReplication stress induced by the ribonucleotide reductase inhibitor guanazole, triapine and gemcitabine in fission yeast, HPLC of Formula: 1455-77-2, the main research area is S. pombe ; Cds1; Chk1; Rad3; gemcitabine; genome stability; guanazole; hydroxyurea; oxidative stress; ribonucleotide reductase; the DNA replication checkpoint; triapine.

Schizosaccharomyces pombe is an established yeast model for studying the cellular mechanisms conserved in humans, such as the DNA replication checkpoint. The replication checkpoint deals with replication stress caused by numerous endogenous and exogenous factors that perturb fork movement. If undealt with, perturbed forks collapse, causing chromosomal DNA damage or cell death. Hydroxyurea (HU) is an inhibitor of ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) commonly used in checkpoint studies. It produces replication stress by depleting dNTPs, which slows the movement of ongoing forks and thus activates the replication checkpoint. However, HU also causes side effects such as oxidative stress, particularly under chronic exposure conditions, which complicates the studies. To find a drug that generates replication stress more specifically, we tested three other RNR inhibitors gemcitabine, guanazole and triapine in S. pombe under various exptl. conditions. Our results show that guanazole and triapine can produce replication stress more specifically than HU under chronic, not acute drug treatment conditions. Therefore, using the two drugs in spot assay, the method commonly used for testing drug sensitivity in yeasts, should benefit the checkpoint studies in S. pombe and likely the research in other model systems.
