In the first of these versions, the time derivatives are replaced by conformable derivatives, and in the second version left-handed Caputo’s derivatives are used. We show that the solutions obtained with these two types of derivatives exhibit significant similarities, which is an interesting (and somewhat surprising) result, taking into account that the conformable derivatives are local operators, while Caputo’s derivatives are nonlocal operators. We also show that the solutions of the generalized systems are similar to the solutions of the original system, if the order α of the new derivatives (conformable or Caputo) is less than one. On the other hand, when α is greater than one, the solutions of the generalized systems are qualitatively different from the solutions of the original system.展开更多

SCOTS utilizes autologous bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs) to treat optic nerve and retinal diseases. Treatment approaches include a combination of retrobulbar, subtenon, intravitreal, intra-optic nerve, subretinal, and intravenous injection of autologous BMSCs according to the nature of the disease, the degree of visual loss, and any risk factors related to the treatments. Patients with Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy had visual acuity gains on the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) of up to 35 letters and Snellen acuity improvements from hand motion to 20/200 and from counting fingers to 20/100. Visual field improvements were noted. Macular and optic nerve head nerve fiber layer typically thickened. No serious complications were seen. The increases in visual acuity obtained in our study were encouraging and suggest that the use of autolo- gous BMSCs as provided in SCOTS for ophthalmologic mitochondrial diseases including Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy may be a viable treatment option.展开更多

When this failed, autologous stem cells were tried as an alternative therapy. Adult autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells isolated from patient’s own bone marrow and were cultured and placed in the endometrial cavity under ultrasound guidance after curettage. Patient was then given cyclical hormonal therapy. Endometrium was assessed intermittently using ultrasound. Three months later, endometrium partly recovered with improved ultrasonic echo. This resulted in spontaneous pregnancy followed by confirmation of gestational sac, yolk sac, and primitive heart tube pulse on ultrasound. Autologous bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells could regenerate injured endometrium not responding to conventional treatment and can be used as an alternative in females with severe Asherman’s syndrome.展开更多

Depending on the type of transformations considered, different necessary conditions of invariance are obtained. As particular cases, we prove fractional versions of Noether's symmetry theorem. Invariant conditions for fractional optimal control problems, using the Hamiltonian formalism, are also investigated. As an example of potential application in Physics, we show that with conformable derivatives it is possible to formulate an Action Principle for particles under frictional forces that is far simpler than the one obtained with classical fractional derivatives.展开更多

METHODS:After HYNIC and NHS-MAG3 were synthesized, ASON was labeled with technetium-99m using HYNIC and NHS-MAG3 as a bifunctional chelator. The in vivo and in vitro stability, binding rates of labeled compounds to serum albumen, biodistribution of 99mTc-MAG3-ASON and 99mTc-HYNIC-ASON in BALB/C mouse and its HT29 tumor cellular uptake were compared. RESULTS:The labeling efficiency and stability of 99mTc-MAG3-ASON were significantly higher than those of 99mTc-HYNIC-ASON (P = 0.02, and P = 0.03, respectively). 99mTc-MAG3-ASON had a significantly lower rate of binding to serum albumen than 99mTc-HYNIC-ASON (P < 0.05). In contrast to 99mTc-HYNIC-ASON, the biodistribution of 99mTc-MAG3-ASON was significantly lower in blood, heart, liver and stomach (P < 0.05), slightly lower in intestines and spleen (P > 0.05) and significantly higher in lung and kidney (P < 0.05). The HT29 tumor cellular uptake rate of 99mTc-MAG3-ASON was significantly higher than that of 99mTc-HYNIC-ASON (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION:99mTc-MAG3-ASON shows superior radiochemical behaviors and biological properties than 99mTc-HYNIC-ASON. 99mTc-MAG3-ASON is a potential radiopharmaceutical agent for in vivo application.展开更多

The correlation analysis (CA) and stepwise multiple regression analysis (SMR) were performed. The QSAR models indicate that the physicochemical parameters of Qc9, MRR1, ELUMO, ∏R2 and μ have significant influence on the activities of these derivatives. The substitution of hydrophobic R2 and bulky aromatic R1 to form a conjugated system with the frame of those S-DABO series compounds should be considered to design new potent compounds for anti-HIV-1.展开更多

Immunolabelling of PDGFRα^+-cells was visualized using confocal microscopy to assess the distribution of these cells, while Western blot analysis was undertaken to quantify PDGFRα protein expression.RESULTS: Confocal microscopy revealed PDGFRα+-cells within the mucosa, myenteric plexus and smooth muscle in normal controls, with a marked reduction in PDGFRα^+-cells in the HD specimens. Western blotting revealed high levels of PDGFRα protein expression in normal controls, while there was a striking decrease in PDGFRα protein expression in the HD colon.CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that the altered distribution of PDGFRα^+-cells in both the aganglionic and ganglionic HD bowel may contribute to the motility dysfunction in HD.展开更多
