BACKGROUND Circulating tumor cells (CTC) and disseminated tumor cells (DTC) are thought to be responsible for metastasis, so the detection of CTC may serve as individual prognostic factor in patients suffering from colorectal cancer. Therefore, a series of immunomagnetic enrichment methods for CTC have been developed using a variety of monoclonal antibodies against the Epithelial Cell Adhesion ...

Batanghari River is the primary source of water for people Jambi. River’s condition nowadays worrying because its color no longer clear. This research focused on determining content heavy metals in River's and sediment. The conducted analysis an ICP-MS to determine level metal (Cu, Cr, Co, Cd, Hg), enrichment factor calculation pollution. value from sediment sample declined with following seque...

â  performance and capacity of sulfur recovery unit (sru) are greatly affected by the h2s:co2 ratio of the acid gas stream. the acid gases in iran contain around 35 mol% h2s and 60 mol% co2. this low concentration of h2s calls for more complex sulfur plant, larger equipments, and higher costs. acid gas enrichment processes (age) is run to upgrade low quality acid gas collected from gas treating...

PURPOSE This study was aimed to identify the expression pattern of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and to explore its potential correlation with the progression of NSCLC. METHODS Gene expression profile GSE39345 was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Twenty healthy controls and 32 NSCLC samples before chemotherapy were analyze...

All cellular processes are regulated by condition-specific and time-dependent interactions between transcription factors and their target genes. While in simple organisms, e.g. bacteria and yeast, a large amount of experimental data is available to support functional transcription regulatory interactions, in mammalian systems reconstruction of gene regulatory networks still heavily depends on t...

Introduction: Work-family conflict is a common problem among pre-hospital emergency technicians. The present study investigates the effects of applying time management skills on family-work conflict and work-family enrichment in pre-hospital emergency technicians. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, eight emergency bases located in Birjand, Iran, were divided into two blocks: block A a...
