High prevalence of asymptomatically poor muscle perfusion of lower extremities measured in systemic lupus erythematosus patients with abnormal myocardial perfusion

Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) may develop premature atherosclerosis, notably peripheral vascular disease (PVD) presenting with intermittent claudication or gangrene. Therefore, it is importa...

Comparing the Relationship of Taxol-Based Chemotherapy Response with P-glycoprotein and Lung Resistance-Related Protein Expression in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Our aim was to compare Taxol-based chemotherapy response of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with P-glycoprotein (Pgp) or lung resistance protein expression (LRP). Immunohistochemical analyses were performed...

Using Technetium-99m Tetrofosmin Chest Imaging to Predict Taxol-Based Chemotherapy Response in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer but Not Related to Lung Resistance Protein Expression

In vitro studies have shown that technetium-99m tetrofosmin (Tc-99m TF) is a transport substrate for the P-glycoprotein (Pgp) pump. Therefore, Tc-99m TF uptake of tumors can be used to predict chemotherapy respo...

Random Lasers with Coherent Feedback

In a random medium, optical scattering may induce a phase transition in the photon transport behavior [1]. When the scattering is weak, the propagation of light can be described by a normal diffusion process. ...
