Abstract Background New biomarkers that replace or are used in conjunction with the current ovarian cancer diagnostic antigen, CA125, needed for detection of presurgical setting, as well disease recurrence. We previously demonstrated upregulation leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein-1 (LRG1) sera patients compared to healthy women using quantitative mass spectrometry. Methods LRG1 was quantified by ELISA serum from two relatively large cohorts and benign gynecological disease. The expression...

Expression of variants associated with clinically aggressive behavior in some human tumors. The purpose the present study to define expression ovarian cancer and investigate whether these molecules adverse prognosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six specimens normal surface epithelium (NOSE) 31 separate cases newly diagnosed were studied by...

Abstract Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of death for women in US, yet survival rates are over 90% when it diagnosed at an early stage, highlighting need biomarkers detection. To enhance discovery tumor‐specific proteins that could represent novel serum ovarian cancer, we depleted highly abundant which can mask detection present low concentrations. Three commercial immunoaffinity columns were used parallel to deplete from 60 patients with serous carcinoma and non‐cancer controls....

We sought to investigate the expression levels of S100A1 in ovarian cancer cell lines and tissues correlate with subtype, stage, grade, relapse-free survival. messenger RNA protein were up-regulated tumors compared normal by gene microarray analysis, reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, quantitative Western immunoblotting. In study, 63.7% serous, 21.2% clear cell, 11.2% endometrioid, 3% mucinous (1/31) cancers S100A1+ immunohistochemical staining tissue microarrays (n = 500)....

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy, with majority of cases diagnosed at an advanced stage when treatments are less successful. Novel serum protein markers needed to detect ovarian in its earliest stage; detected early, survival rates over 90%. The identification new biomarkers hindered by presence a small number highly abundant proteins that comprise approximately 95% total protein. In this study, we used pooled depleted reduce dynamic range proteins, and thereby...

We present exact analytical solutions of the discrete nonlinear Schro\ifmmode\ddot\else\textasciidieresis\fi{}dinger equation for N-site systems by generalizing methods employed previously quantum dimer and trimer. The transition from localized to delocalized states is markedly different that in dimer. A transition, which there no analog, occurs an initial excitation partially over a group sites found be these same or depending on strength nonlinearity asymmetry lattice.

Claudin 4 is a cellular adhesion molecule that frequently overexpressed in ovarian cancer and other epithelial cancers. In this study, we sought to determine whether the expression of claudin associated with outcome patients may be involved tumor progression. We examined tissues cell lines, as well by immunohistochemical staining tissue microarrays (TMAs; n = 500), spheroids present patients’ ascites, formed vitro. was expressed nearly 70% differentially across subtypes, lowest clear...

We report the first observation of ESR negative ions in liquid $^{3}\mathrm{He}$. The signals exhibit pressure-dependent integrated signal intensity and line shape. These data are tentatively interpreted by considering hyperfine coupling bound electron with surrounding $^{3}\mathrm{He}$ nuclear moments.

Solution-processed bulk heterojunction organic solar cells fabricated with 1,3-bis[4-(N,N-diisopentylamino)-2,6-dihydroxyphenyl]squaraine and phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester were found to exhibit unexpectedly low external quantum efficiency in the squaraine regions upon annealing. X-ray diffraction (XRD), spectral response, time-resolved microwave absorption all used characterize materials devices prepared from them. An explanation for drop is proposed using Marcus–Hush theory tie...

An intermediate-bandwidth theory of charge-carrier mobility is developed with a focus on finite-band effects and scattering by phonons. Wide-band behavior recovered as limit. Two applications the are discussed: in one dip predicted temperature dependence mobility, other recently reported observations ultrapure organic crystals addressed.

The quantum mechanical energy-mismatched two-state system with cubic nonlinearity in its governing equation is surprisingly rich dynamics and has relevance to a number of subdisciplines physics ranging from polaron phenomena Bose–Einstein condensation. We review some them that have been discussed recently describe new results not, pointing out their possible experiments.

Abstract Exact analytical solutions of the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation for three‐site systems are presented by generalizing methods employed previously quantum dimer. The transition from localized to delocalized states is markedly different that in

A simple electronic correlator for two-time photoelectric correlation measurements has been developed. It functions by registering the distribution of time intervals between pairs pulses. Its basic elements are a clock that is started first pulse and used to digitize intervals, pair fast counters counting subsequent pulses, set data registers. The pulses directed one or other counter alternately at regular intervals. operation described tested randomly modulated light source.
