The emission intensities of gamma-rays associated with the decay of 229Th have been determined by HPGe gamma ray spectrometry with accuracy and precision. The results are in agreement with current literature data.Four I-131 production methods including irradiated TeO2 target and uranium target in the irradiation channel, batch-wise extracted…[Read more]

Furthermore, CSE significantly induced ROS production. However, treatment with ROS scavengers, specific PI3K/Akt inhibitors, NF-κB inhibitor, and glucocorticosteroids significantly decreased MMP-2 expression and increased TIMP-2 expression. Our results suggest that steroids inhibit CSE-regulated MMP-2 and TIMP-2 production and activation through…[Read more]
