Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy imaging of live epithelial cancer cells under non-aqueous media.

J. Clin. Pathol. 66(4) , 312-8, (2013)

Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) imaging is increasingly being applied to biomedical specimens, but strong IR absorption by water complicates live cell imaging. This study investigates the viability of adherent epithelial cells maintained for short periods ...

Preimplantation embryo development in the mouse requires the latency of TRP53 expression, which is induced by a ligand-activated PI3 kinase/AKT/MDM2-mediated signaling pathway.

Biol. Reprod. 80 , 286-94, (2008)

A universal response to cellular stress is the expression of transformation-related protein 53 (TRP53). This transcription factor reduces cell proliferation and/or survival and is classed as a tumour suppressor protein. Several stresses (including culture) ca...

Paraffin oil as a "methane vector" for rapid and high cell density cultivation of Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b.

Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 83(4) , 669-77, (2009)

Slow growth and relatively low cell densities of methanotrophs have limited their uses in industrial applications. In this study, a novel method for rapid cultivation of Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b was studied by adding a water-immiscible organic solvent ...

The epidemiology of childhood poisonings in Cyprus.

Eur. J. Pediatr. 169(7) , 833-8, (2010)

Information on childhood poisonings in Cyprus is limited. Our objective was to examine the epidemiology of poisonings among children in Cyprus. All children up to 15 years of age admitted for poisoning to the Archbishop Makarios Hospital in Nicosia, Cyprus be...

Does the exposure of urine samples to air affect diagnostic tests for urine acidification?

Clin. J. Am. Soc. Nephrol. 7(8) , 1211-6, (2012)

For accurate measurement of pH, urine collection under oil to limit the escape of CO(2) on air exposure is recommended. This study aims to test the hypothesis that urine collection under oil is not necessary in acidic urine in which bicarbonate and CO(2) are ...

Fire-eater's pneumonia: two case reports of accidentally aspirated paraffin oil.

J. Emerg. Med. 42(4) , 417-9, (2012)

Fire-eater's pneumonia is a chemical pneumonitis that can develop after accidental aspiration of liquid hydrocarbon-based fuel during a flame-blowing or a fire-eating performance. Typical findings of the patient are similar with any infectious pneumonia: ches...

Conformational mobility of small molecules in glass-forming solutions studied by FTIR spectroscopy.

Spectrochim. Acta. A. Mol. Biomol. Spectrosc. 91 , 184-91, (2012)

Small molecules with two or more stable conformations when embedded in a glass-forming liquid (matrix) serve the role of "conformational probes", i.e., their conformational transitions are used to follow local mobility in the matrix. In the present study, con...

Characteristic adverse skin reactions to antiseptic bath oils.

Med. J. Aust. 186(12) , 652-3, (2007)

In situ synthesis of molecularly imprinted nanoparticles in porous support membranes using high-viscosity polymerization solvents.

J. Mol. Recognit. 25(6) , 320-9, (2012)

There is a growing need in membrane separations for novel membrane materials providing selective retention. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are promising candidates for membrane functionalization. In this work, a novel approach is described to prepare c...

Immediate extended latissimus dorsi flap reconstruction after skin-sparing mastectomy for breast cancer associated with paraffinoma: report of a case.

Surg. Today 41(12) , 1680-3, (2011)

Paraffin oil injection into the breast, which had been used for breast augmentation in the past, can cause various complications. Complete removal of paraffinoma lesions with immediate breast reconstruction using autogenous tissue is a very satisfactory treat...
