Several studies have reported different estimates for forest biomass carbon (C) stocks in China. The discrepancy among these estimatesmay be largely attributed to themethods used. In this study,we used three methods [mean biomass density method (MBM), mean ratio method (MRM), and continuous biomass expansion factor (BEF) method (abbreviated as CBM)] applied to forest inventory data to estimate ...

Conclusion and Discussion The implemented MP-RAGE sequence introduces an interleaved data reordering along a squarespiral in the 2D phase-encoded k...

The absolute quantification of target proteins in proteomics involves stable isotope dilution coupled with multiple reactions monitoring mass spectrometry (SID-MRM-MS). The successful preparation of stable isotope-labeled internal standard peptides is an important prerequisite for the SID-MRM absolute quantification methods. Dimethyl labeling has been widely used in relative quantitative proteo...

Verification of candidate biomarker proteins in blood is typically done using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) of peptides by LC-MS/MS on triple quadrupole MS systems. MRM assay development for each protein requires significant time and cost, much of which is likely to be of little value if the candidate biomarker is below the detection limit in blood or a false positive in the original disco...

BACKGROUND No consensus has been reached regarding the outcome of management of local recurrence after transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap breast reconstruction. This study demonstrated the presentation, management, and outcomes of local recurrence after immediate TRAM breast reconstruction. METHODS A comparison was conducted among 1,000 consecutive patients who underwent imm...

surgery (BCS) to those having undergone modified radical mastectomy (MRM).
 Material and Methods: Forty-four BCS 27 MRM patients have been included in this retrospective
 study. All completed adjuvant chemotherapies radiation therapies. patients
 who received breast reconstruction afterwards, experienced local or distant organ
 relapse, over fifty years old excluded. Each pa...

The accidental or fraudulent blending of meat from different species is a highly relevant aspect for food product quality control, especially for consumers with ethical concerns against species, such as horse or pork. In this study, we present a sensitive mass spectrometrical approach for the detection of trace contaminations of horse meat and pork and demonstrate the specificity of the identif...
