What's the difference between antimetabole and chiasmus?

Antimetabole


Definition:

  • (n.) A figure in which the same words or ideas are repeated in transposed order.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Since two other antimetabolic agents, 6-mercaptopurine and 2'-deoxyguanosine, were also effective in inhibiting these suppressor T cells, it was supposed that Con A-induced suppressor T cells are metabolically more active than the other T subpopulations.
  • (2) The antiblastic effects of the antimetabolites MTS, Ara-C, Bleomycin of the alkylating Thiotepa, of Peptichemio (alkylating and antimetabolic) and of Peptichemio-Bleomycin combination, were compared after 24 and 48 hr of treatment on HeLa cells.
  • (3) In patients continued on MTX twice a week antimetabolic effects appeared sooner in persons with more sustained serum levels.
  • (4) The photodynamic and antimetabolic action of dyes on experimental tumors is reviewed.
  • (5) The present study examined whether 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG), an antimetabolic glucose analogue, which induces glucoprivation and peripheral sympatho-adrenal discharge, would also produce analgesia as measured by either an operant liminal escape or a reflex tail-pinch procedure.
  • (6) In addition, the predictive relevance of the antimetabolic assay on clinical response to chemotherapy was analyzed in relation to the type of tumor lesion tested in vitro in a retrospective correlative study on 57 patients with advanced ovarian and germ cell testicular tumors.
  • (7) The effect seemed to be the result of antimetabolic effect of Imuran acting on the proliferating trophoblast through the maternal blood.
  • (8) This assay measures the antimetabolic and, by using an adequate recovery period for the cells, also the antiproliferative effects of cytotoxic drugs.
  • (9) This study supports the contention that the incorporation of canavanine into proteins in place of arginine contributes significantly to canavanine's antimetabolic properties.
  • (10) Moreover, cell proliferation of tumors that showed these antimetabolic effects was always significantly depressed by lower drug concentration as well as by the highest.
  • (11) These results suggest that controlled-drug-release microspheres with an antimetabolic agent may be promising for preventing fibrosis after surgery.
  • (12) The effect of cycloheximide, an inhibitor of protein synthesis, on temperature regulation in afebrile rats was studied to determine whether its reported antipyretic effect might be attributable to a non-specific antimetabolic effect.
  • (13) The immunosuppressive effect of Cloturin on T-dependent specific antibody production suggests that Cloturin possesses both alkylating and antimetabolic properties.
  • (14) Though functional and morphological alterations show a correlation, they cannot be explained by an antimetabolic-like effect because of the fact that the enzyme function recovers 72 h after application of the drug.
  • (15) Acute administration of 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG), an antimetabolic glucose analogue induces a powerful analgesia which adapts following repeated administration.
  • (16) Antiviral, antineoplastic, and antimetabolic effects were evaluated for the formycin compounds and 4-amino-7-beta-D-ribofuranosylpyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine (tubercidin), its 5-cyano- (toyocamycin), and 5-carbamoyl-(sangivamycin) antibiotic congeners in comparison with their 2'-deoxy, 3'-deoxy, and arabino analogues.
  • (17) antiviral antimetabolic, and cytostatic properties.
  • (18) Based on similar research efforts in cancer chemotherapy, we have prepared a conjugate of the antimetabolic agent methotrexate with an antibody specific for basement membrane collagen, the major protein in the lens capsule.
  • (19) None of the new acyclovir derivatives showed any appreciable antimetabolic or antitumor cell activity.
  • (20) The effect seemed to be the result of the antimetabolic effect of Imuran acting on the proliferating trophoblast through the maternal blood.

Chiasmus


Definition:

  • (n.) An inversion of the order of words or phrases, when repeated or subsequently referred to in a sentence

Example Sentences:

  • (1) But doing so has never been as simple or as uncontested as his neatly balanced chiasmus implies.
