64 patients with extensive non-Hodgkin lymphomas were treated with a modified MOPP scheme. 41 patients had stage IV disease. 59 patients responded to treatment. In 22 cases complete remission was obtained and in 37 cases partial remission. The proportion of complete remissions was the same for reticulosarcoma (9 out of 28) and lymphosarcoma (7 out of 22). The remission rate for Brill-Symmers disease was higher (6 out of 14). For patients with lymphosarcoma the average duration of complete remission was 26.9 months and for patients with reticulosarcoma 25 months. 42 of the 59 patients who responded to treatment survived one year, 33 of them two or more years. After a two-year period there were no more deaths.

Development of Polymer Composites Using Surface-Modified Olive Pit Powder for Fused Granular Fabrication.
Polymers (Basel)
October 2024

In this study, olive pit agro-waste from the olive oil industry is valorized by incorporating it as an additive in a polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) matrix to develop bio-based composite materials for large format additive manufacturing (LFAM). The olive pits were first ground into olive pit powder (OPP) and then functionalized by polymerizing poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) PBAT on their surface, resulting in a hydrophobic, modified olive pit powder (MOPP) with enhanced compatibility with the PETG matrix. OPP and MOPP composites were compounded and 3D-printed via Fused Granular Fabrication (FGF) using 5, 10, and 15 wt.

Multi-agent chemotherapy successfully induces remission in most naïve, high-grade canine lymphoma patients; however, disease recurrence is common. MOPP (mechlorethamine, vincristine, procarbazine, and prednisone) is an effective rescue protocol used to re-induce remission, but is associated with gastrointestinal toxicity and can be a less desirable option for patients that previously failed vincristine-containing protocols. Therefore, alternative members of the vinca alkaloid family, such as vinblastine, could be potentially advantageous as substitutes for vincristine to reduce gastrointestinal toxicity and chemoresistance.

Purpose: To investigate the association between mean ocular perfusion pressure (MOPP), estimated cerebrospinal fluid pressure (CSFP), and changes in diabetic retinopathy (DR) in a Northeastern Chinese population with Type 2 diabetes.
Methods: A total of 1,322 subjects from the Fushun Diabetic Retinopathy Cohort Study were enrolled. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and intraocular pressure (IOP) were recorded.
Analysis of choroidal structure and vascularity indices with image binarization of swept source optical coherence tomography images: A prospective study of 460 eyes.

Purpose: To evaluate choroidal vascularity index (CVI) among normal subjects using image binarization of swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).
Materials And Methods: Four hundred and sixty eyes of 230 normal participants were included. Total circumscribed choroidal area, luminal area, stromal area (SA), and CVI were derived from SS-OCT scans using open-source software (ImageJ) with the modified Niblack method.

Designing atomically dispersed metal catalysts for the nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) is an effective approach to achieve better energy conversion efficiencies. In this study, we designed a series of single molybdenum (Mo) atom-anchored porous two-dimensional Mo porphyrin (2D Mo-Pp) monolayers modified by B, C, O, P and S as efficient NRR catalysts to improve the catalytic performance. We introduced two key parameters, θ (pz orbital filling of heteroatoms) and φ (Bader charge of central Mo atoms).
