Does treatment with somatostatin analogs differ in the uptake of normal target organs and malignant lesions on 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT imaging? by Çağlagül Erol, Ahmet Volkan Çelik, Özlem Şahin, Gonca Kara Gedik, Hasan Önner, Farise Yılmaz

“…Conclusion: In conclusion, these drugs do not need to be discontinued before 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT imaging for treatment follow-up in neuroendocrine tumor patients using somatostatin analogs. In addition, these drugs may help report interpretation by increasing the intensity of metastatic lesions in the liver and spleen.…”

X-Ray Performance of SiC NPN Radiation Detector by Jing Wang, Leidang Zhou, Liang Chen, Silong Zhang, Fangbao Wang, Tingting Fan, Zhuo Chen, Song Bai, Xiaoping Ouyang

“…Due to to the low leakage current of less than 1 nA and the fully depleted sensitive region, the bipolar-transistor-modeled SiC npn detector exhibited a clear common-emitter current gain of 5.85 at 200 V (under 0.383 Gy∙s⁻¹), where the gain increased with bias voltage due to the Early effect and reached 7.55 at 300 V. In addition, the transient response of the SiC npn detector revealed a longer delay time than the SiC diode of the same size, which was associated with the larger effective capacitance of the npn structure. …”

Chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of Artemisia annua (L.) essential oil against different fish pathogens by F. Sakhaie, M. Adel, R. Safari, F. Firouzbakhsh, A. Nosrati Movafagh, T. Stadtlander

“…Maximum antibacterial and antifungal activity was observed against Y. ruckeri (22.6±0.6 mm) and Saprolegnia sp. (18.7±0.8 mm) respectively, while S. iniae (10.2±1.2 mm) and A. flavus (12.9±0.82 mm) showed the least sensitivity. In addition, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) test showed that concentrations of the essential oil within the range between 3.2 to 25 μg/L were able to inhibit the growth of the selected bacterial and fungal pathogens. …”

Tumor-Derived Exosomal miR-29b Reduces Angiogenesis in Pancreatic Cancer by Silencing ROBO1 and SRGAP2 by Lihua Wang, Lei Yang, Tingting Zhuang, Xiuqing Shi

“…Furthermore, the downregulation of ROBO1 and SRGAP2 in cocultured HUVECs was also reduced after additional treatment with GW4869. After incubation with miR-29b exosomes, HUVECs had lower VEGF concentrations and reduced migration and tube formation rates; however, those effects were eliminated by subsequent transfection with the miR-29b inhibitor. …”

Effectiveness of aspirin in preventing deep vein thrombosis following proximal femoral fracture surgery in Japan by Takao Ohmori, Kazukiyo Toda, Takuya Taoka, Takeshi Ishihara, Yasuo Ito

“…Proximal DVT incidence was also similar (OR: 2; 95%CI: 0.50–7.00; p = 0.33). Additionally, since use of other postoperative antithrombotic prophylaxis (78%) is thought to have a significant impact on the incidence of DVT, a subgroup analysis was conducted to evaluate the effect of aspirin in patients who did not receive postoperative antithrombotic prophylaxis. …”
