The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the effect of ancrod, a fibrinogenolytic protease from Malayan pit viper venom, locally delivered through a photopolymerized biodegradable hydrogel in preventing postoperative adhesions. The experimental ...
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a potent inhibitor of neurotransmitter release through the Y2 receptor subtype. Specific antagonists for the Y2 receptors have not yet been described, Based on the concept of template-assembled synthetic proteins we have used a cycl ...
This article presents the first example of a microfluidic chip for heterogeneous bioassays using a locally immobilized biospecitic layer and operated electrokinetically. The reaction chamber has picoliter dimensions and is integrated into a network of micr ...
In vivo spectrofluorometric analysis during photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a tool to obtain information about fluorophore bleaching kinetics in tissue. Using a cylindrical esophageal light distributor for PDT with an integrated sensing fiber, together with ...
The pharmacokinetics (PK) of the photosensitizer tetra(m-hydroxyphenyl)chlorin (mTHPC) was measured by optical fiber-based light-induced fluorescence spectroscopy (LIFS) in the normal and tumoral cheek pouch mucosa of 29 Golden Syrian hamsters with chem. i ...
Several parameters affect clin. trials in photodynamic therapy and influence the therapeutic outcome. Beside drug dose, light dose, drug-light interval and other variables, the fluence rate is a parameter that can influence the therapeutic results. In this ...
Exogenous administration of 5-aminolaevulinic acid (ALA) is becoming widely used to enhance the endogenous synthesis of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) in photodynamic therapy (PDT) and fluorescence photodetection (PD). Recently, results have shown that the chemi ...
The present study was designed to evaluate the immunological outcome resulting from experimental conditions involving different corticosterone and prolactin ratios in rats. One set of experiments was conducted to assess the effects of prolactin and cortico ...
