Virtually all real-valued computations are carried out using floating-point data types and operations. The precision of these must be set with the goals reducing overall round-off error, but also emphasizing performance improvements. Often, a mixed-precision allocation achieves this optimum; unfortunately, there no techniques available to compute such allocations conservatively meet given error target across program inputs. In work, we present rigorous approach based on formal analysis via...

The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process results in a loss of cell-cell adhesion, increased cell mobility, and is crucial for enabling the metastasis cancer cells. Recently, enzyme SIRT1 has been implicated variety physiological processes; however, its role regulating oral EMT not fully elucidated. Here, we propose mechanism by which sirtuin1 (SIRT1) regulates deacetylating Smad4 repressing effect TGF-β signaling on matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP7). roles tumor...

Background: Many single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been found to be associated with oral cancer but the biological interactions through SNPs are seldom addressed. In this study, we focused on joint effect for SNP combinations of four DNA repair genes, X‐ray cross‐complementing groups (XRCCs) 1–4, involved in major cancer‐related pathways. Methods: Single polymorphism genotyping was determined using by polymerase chain reaction‐restriction fragment length study (case = 103, control...

J Oral Pathol Med (2010) 39 : 342–348 Background: squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most malignant neoplasms worldwide, and molecular mechanism oral tumorigenesis still unclear. Fatty‐acid‐binding protein 5 (FABP5) was found in our previous study to be upregulated carcinomas by proteomic analysis.

Oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), a leading subtype of head and neck cancer, has high global incidence mortality rates. Despite surgery radiochemotherapy, about one-third patients relapse. Targeted immunotherapy options for recurrent OSCC show limited effectiveness, underscoring the need improved treatments. We generated multi-omics datasets from pretreatment samples (n=137) to identify A3A EGFR as markers precise patient stratification. Survival outcomes were assessed by comparing...

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) accounts for >90% of cases oral cancer, including cancer at the lip and cavity oropharynx. Most OSCCs develop from potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs), which consist heterogeneous lesions with different transformation potentials that make early detection OSCC a challenge. Using targeted mass spectrometry-based assay to compare multiple candidate proteins, we previously identified matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) as one most promising salivary...

Abstract Background Sirtuins (SIRT1-7) are a family of NAD-dependent deacetylases, which play an important role in regulating cancer tumorigenesis; however, their oral has been controversial. SIRT3 is localized the mitochondria, where it deacetylates and activates several enzymes involved cellular redox balance defense against oxidative damage. Results We found that compared with normal human keratinocytes (HOK), highly expressed squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) lines, but enzymatic...

Oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide, and its incidence still increasing. Approximately 50% patients with OSCC die within 5 years after diagnosis, mostly ascribed to fact that majority present advanced stages at time diagnosis.To discover salivary biomarkers for ameliorating detection OSCC, herein, we developed a multiplexed bead-based platform simultaneously detect auto-antibodies (auto-Abs) in samples.Compared healthy individuals, levels...

Oral cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, and there are currently no biomarkers approved for aiding its management. Although many potential oral have been discovered, very few verified in body fluid specimens parallel to evaluate their clinical utility. The lack appropriate multiplexed assays chosen targets represents bottlenecks achieving this goal. In present study, we develop a peptide immunoaffinity enrichment-coupled multiple reaction monitoring-mass spectrometry...
