The originality of our study lies in the evaluation of oesophageal transit time parameters by a non-invasive and well-tolerated method of oesophageal scintigraphy.
The aim of this study was to evaluate oesophageal transit time parameters by oesophageal scintigraphy to test the hypothesis that patients undergoing mediastinal RT may develop early oesophageal dysmotility and to assess the relationships between acute oesophagitis symptoms and dysmotility.
Various quality of service parameters like connection establishment delay, priority parameter, transit delay, throughput, residual error ratio, etc., are critically studied for the network.
Influx is given by the efflux of the upstream compartment, while amplification and efflux of compartment X are computed from the amplification-related parameters proliferative fraction a X and amplification A X and the residence-related parameters transit times T X (or in compartment S probability of self-renewal p).
Along with the origin and destination parameters, "driving" and "transit" were used for mode parameter.
We invariably found that the number of LT-HSC divisions is lower when the duration of a cell division starting from G0 is defined by two independent kinetic parameters (quiescence exit and cell cycle transit) rather than a single parameter describing the average division time.
Then, it produces a conditional probability table that represents the transit probability from an initial parameter to a new parameter.
For such cases, the output tracer function is expressed in terms of mathematical elementary functions that only depend on the aquifer mean transit time and the parameters belonging to the assumed lumped model.
All tracks were thus divided into several sections (TRA vs transit) for which behavioural parameters were calculated (see below).
In addition, when post-irradiation perturbation of G2/M transit was compared using the parameter T50 (time after the peak of G2/M delay at which 50% of the cells had exited from a block induced by 2 Gy of irradiation), RAF1 was related to T50 in wtp53, but not mutp53, cell lines.
Perfusion parameters (CBF, mean transit time, time to peak, cerebral blood volume) were measured by either a quantitative method (comparing perfusion parameters in a given part of the brain with the same contralateral area) or a qualitative method (visual inspection of affected hemisphere compared with the contralateral side).
