Therapy with mFOLFOX6/FOLFIRI used in treating colorectal cancer is typical of the regimens performed in outpatient settings. In this therapy, 46-h continuous infusion of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) with concomitant oxaliplatin and irinotecan hydrochloride is conducted. The portable continuous infusion pump that makes continuous infusion possible has a non-electric structure, so variation in the infusion rate is seen.

Methods: Sixty-seven patients scheduled for cesarean section under spinal anesthesia were randomly allocated to receive either LR ( n= 35) or HES ( n= 32) infusion before cesarean delivery. Infusion of the fluid was started immediately after arrival at the operating room, through two fully open i.

The transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels are thought to be involved in the entry of calcium ion into cells. In this study, we isolated a cDNA clone, HrTRPV, that shows high homology to Caenorhabditis elegans OSM-9, a TRPV subfamily member of the TRP family, from a Halocynthia roretzi fertilized egg cDNA library. We analyzed its properties using HrTRPV-transfected cells.

Methods: Forty adult patients undergoing abdominal total hysterectomy were studied. The patients were randomly assigned to two groups.
