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.
