Therapeutic effects of cyclophosphamide, dsDNA preparations and combinations thereof against Krebs-2 ascites cancer cells and various cancer transplants by E. A. Potter, E. V. Dolgova, A. M. Minkevich, Ya. R. Efremov, O. S. Taranov, V. V. Omigov, V. P. Nikolin, N. A. Popova, A. S. Proskurina, E. I. Vereschagin, A. V. Kozel, V. A. Rogachev, D. B. Petrov, A. A. Ostanin, E. R. Chernykh, N. A. Kolchanov, S. S. Bogachev

“…When Krebs-2 ascites are treated with human DNA 1-12 hours post CP injection, this results in either elimination of cells that internalize TAMRA-labeled DNA (TISCs) or alters their phenotype, which is accompanied with the loss of surface expression of CD34. Next, we show that the timepoint 18 hrs post CP treatment is critical to the ongoing repair process in that it divides the repair into two phases: nucleotide excision repair + dsDNA break repair and homologous recombination. …”

Numerical Simulation of the Influence of Natural Fractures on Hydraulic Fracture Propagation by Song Yaobin, Lu Weiyong, He Changchun, Bai Erhu

“…However, in the case of natural fractures with a high tensile strength, the natural fracture surface is closed, and the hydraulic fracture directly passes through the natural fracture, propagating along the direction of the maximum principal stress. (4) Under the same principal stress difference, a longer natural fracture corresponds to the easier initiation and expansion of a hydraulic fracture from the tip of the natural fracture. …”
