Evaluation of ceruloplasmin concentration in prognosis of human cancer.

The serum ceruloplasmin concentration was determined in cancer patients before and after radiotherapy, and after relapse of cancer, The ceruloplasmin concentration in patients who responded to therapy, decreased to the range of normal controls. In patients who did not respond to treatment, the ceruloplasmin concentration was more or less elevated. In patients with relapse of cancer, the ceruloplasmin concentration was higher than before treatment.</p

Solitonska rješenja nelokalne K-P jednadžbe

We have analysed the formation and modulation of solitary waves for the new nonlinear equations - the non-local Kadomstev - Petviashvillee equation, with the help of multiple-scale Fourier transform technique. This equation is a generali¬zation of both the BO equation and KdV equation in three dimensions. We have obtained the equation satisfied by the modulated amplitude and hence the corresponding solitary wave solutions.Pomoću višestruko baždarske Fourierove tehnike analizirali smo formiranje i modulaciju solitonskih valova kod nelinearne i nelokalne jednadžbe Kadomstev-Petviashvilleea. Ta jednadžba je generalizacija BO i KdV jednadžbe na tri dimenzije. Mi smo dobili jednadžbu koju zadovoljava amplitudno modulirani solitonski val

Acriflavine-Induced Surface Changes in Three Tumor Cell Types and Differential Sensitivity to Lectins

Phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and concanavalin A (Con A) were used as probes to detect changes in the cell surface of Dalton's lymphoma, sarcoma-180 and Ehrlich's carcinoma after short in vitro exposure to acriflavine. Dye-treated cells showed enhancement of agglutination both by PHA and Con A, and such enhancement was found to be dependent on the time of exposure and concentration of acriflavine. However, PHA-induced percent agglutination seemed to be much higher than that of Con A among the 3 cell types. There were also marked differences among the 3 cell types in order of their sensitivity to lectin-mediated agglutination. The strength of the response was greater in lymphoma to both PHA and Con A than that of sarcoma-180 and carcinoma cells, which appeared to be most resistant. Acriflavine, which is known as an intercalative agent with DNA, induces cell surface changes by promoting lectin-mediated cellular agglutination. </jats:p
