The aim of this study was to investigate the protein content in aqueous humor in eyes with and without pseudoexfoliations (PEX) and to evaluate the quantitative proteomics method, isobaric tagging for relative and absolute protein quantification (iTRAQ), in combination with two separation methods followed by matrix-assisted Laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry and tandem mass s...

One way to profile complex mixtures for receptor affinity is to couple liquid chromatography (LC) on-line to biochemical detection (BCD). A drawback of this hyphenated screening approach is the relatively high consumption of sample, receptor protein and (fluorescently labeled) tracer ligand. Here, we worked toward minimization of sample and reagent consumption, by coupling nano-LC on-line to a ...

the aim of this study was to introduce modified continuous wave compaction (mcwc) technique and compare its obturation quality with that of lateral compaction (lc), warm vertical compaction (wvc) and continuous wave compaction techniques (cwc). the obturation time was also compared among the four techniques.sixty-four single-rooted teeth with 0-5° root canal curve and 64 artificially created ro...

In the food industry microbial contamination of surfaces can result in product spoilage which may lead to potential health problems of the consumer. Surface properties can have a substantial effect on microbial retention. The surface characteristics of chemically different coatings (Cu, Ti, Mo, Ag, Fe) were defined using white light profilometry (micro-topography and surface features), atomic f...

Liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has become a major tool for the study of biological processes. High-throughput LC-MS experiments are frequently conducted in modern laboratories, generating an enormous amount of data per day. A manual inspection is therefore no longer a feasible task. Consequently, there is a need for computational tools that can rapidly provide inform...

BACKGROUND Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (LC) is conventionally performed under general anaesthesia (GA), but there are multiple studies which have found spinal anaesthesia (SA) as a safe alternative. This meta-analysis was performed after adding many recent randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to clarify this issue. METHODS Relevant articles published in English were identified by searching Pu...

A back-gated nonplanar floating gate device based on buried single triangular-shaped Si nanowire channel (width ∼40 nm) and embedded high-density uniform NiSi nano-dots (∼1.5× 1012 cm−2) is demonstrated. Memory properties including memory window, programming/ erasing, and retention are evaluated. The transfer and transient characteristics show clear charge injection, storage and removal effects...

Traditional analysis of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) data, typically performed by reviewing chromatograms and the corresponding mass spectra, is both time-consuming and difficult. Detailed data analysis is therefore often omitted in proteomics applications. When analysing multiple proteomics samples, it is usually only the final list of identified proteins that is reviewed. T...

Circular polarized light is utilized in communication and display technologies a major challenge to develop systems that can be switched between left right circular luminescence with high degrees of polarization enable multiple addressable stable states. Luminescent dyes Liquid Crystal (LC) cholesteric phases are attractive generate, amplify modulate circularly (CPL). In the present study, we e...

In human skin, two main populations of dendritic cells (DC) can be discriminated: dermal DC (DDC) and epidermal Langerhans cells (LC). Although extensively studied, most of the knowledge about DDC and LC phenotype and function is obtained from studying DDC and LC cultured in vitro or DDC and LC migrated from skin explants. These studies have left the exact relationship between steady-state huma...
