There are numerous reports of the effects of antioxidant vitamins on transformation. Vitamin C suppresses x-ray-induced transformation when CSHlOTy cells are treated daily for one week following irradiation (97), suppresses transformation by y-rays or neutrons, and prevents the promotion of radiation-induced transformation by 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA), but has no effect on cell survival (98). In these studies, the continuous presence of vitamin C for a critical period appears to be necessary for suppression of transformation. Vitamin C may act on the promotion stage of... 

Tissue Plasminogen Aetivator (tPA). While streptokinase and urokinase can effectively induce clot dissolution in the majority of patients if given early, they lack clot specificity. Treatment with these enzymes results in a systemic lytic state attributable to their degradative action on circulating fibrinogen. Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) was developed to achieve rapid and specific thrombolysis.

These guns were developed to attain much higher impact velocities than those available with powder guns (Crozier and Hume, 1957 Curtis, 1962). Peak velocities in the 7-8 km/s range can be routinely attained, with peak shock pressures approaching 1 TPa in high impedance materials.
