styrene/infarction

Rapid assessment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was successfully demonstrated using an improved superparamagnetic polymer microsphere-assisted sandwich fluoroimmunoassay to detect two early cardiac markers-myoglobin and human heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP). This assay used a

We report a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma who developed multiple hepatic infarction after transcatheter arterial infusion (TAI) with a suspension of styrene maleic acid neocarzinostatin (SMANCS) and Lipiodol (SMANCS/Lipiodol). The parameters of hepatic functional reserve were apparently

We report on two patients who developed hepatic infarction after undergoing percutaneous ethanol injection therapy (PEIT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In both cases, liver function parameters deteriorated immediately after the ethanol injection, and enhanced computed tomography images showed

A variety of treatments have recently been introduced to improve the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). These anticancer therapies include the oily carcinostatic agent styrene maleic acid neocarzinostatin (SMANCS). SMANCS is a chemical conjugate of a synthetic copolymer of styrene maleic

Based on the demonstration of mural granulomatous vasculitis in Crohn's disease, it was hypothesized that this vasculitis may account for the discontinuous pattern of lesions in this condition. Accordingly, the present study investigated the histological changes produced by interruption of the

An ultrasensitive electrochemiluminescence (ECL) disposable aptamer sensor (aptasensor) is presented for detection of myocardial infarction biomarker by quantification of troponin I in blood serum. A screen-printed electrode was modified with (a) aptamer-modified gold nanoparticles, (b)

Animal experiments show that intoxication with hydrocarbon solvents influences the vestibulo-oculomotor reflex arc and indicate that the solvents block the inhibition of the vestibulo-oculomotor reflex presumably exerted by the cerebellum. The blood concentrations necessary to elicit oculomotor

BACKGROUND The Firebird 2(TM) sirolimus-eluting stent (Firebird 2 stent) is a second-generation sirolimus-eluting stent which has a cobalt-chromium alloy stent platform, a brand new bracket structure, and two layers of styrene-butylenes-styrene polymer coatings with better biocompatibility. The

Microvascular injury and ischaemia may be factors in anastomotic recurrence after resection for Crohn's disease. This hypothesis was explored in a ferret model of multifocal intestinal infarction. At laparotomy, isolated loops of small intestine were injected intraarterially with styrene

OBJECTIVE A novel trileaflet polymer valve, which is a composite design of a biostable and biocompatible polymer poly(styrene-block-isobutylene-block-styrene) (SIBS) with an embedded reinforcement polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fabric, is being developed with the intention of providing a valve

Recently, subsegmental transcatheter hepatic arterial embolization under balloon occlusion of the corresponding hepatic vein has been performed to treat hepatic infarction in subregion hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, we report subsegmental transcatheter hepatic arterial embolization under

A reliable lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) based on a facile one-step synthesis of single microspheres in combining with immunochromatography technique was developed to establish a new point-of-care test (POCT) for the rapid and early detection of cardiac troponin I (cTnI), a kind of cardiac

A port-catheter system was implanted via femoral artery access for hepatic artery chemotherapy infusion. Implantation was attempted in 90 patients and was successful in 88. Blood flow redistribution was performed using embolization coils. In the first ten patients a soft heparin-coated infusion
