INTRODUCTION Current methods to determine HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) status are affected by reproducibility issues and do not reliably predict benefit from anti-HER2 therapy. Quantitative measurement of HER2 may more accurately identify breast cancer (BC) patients who will respond to anti-HER2 treatments. METHODS Using selected reaction monitoring mass spectrometry (SRM-M...

If n is a nonnegative integer, then denote by ∂H the space of all complex valued functions f defined on D such that f, f , f , . . . , f (n) belong to H∞, with the norm

Steroid sulfatase (STS) hydrolyzes several sulfated steroids such as estrone sulfate, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, and cholesterol sulfate. In the present study, we have measured STS mRNA levels in 97 breast cancers by reverse transcription-PCR using a fluorescent primer in the presence of an internal standard RNA and evaluated its association with disease-free and overall survival. The medi...

Data on the chromosome analysis of leukemic cells from consecutive patients with nonlymphocytic leukemia from six independent laboratories in the United States. Europe. and Australia were combined. The karyotypic pattern determined with banding was correlated with the patient’s age and the morphological type of leukemia according to the FAB classification. Of the 503 patients in the combined st...

Acute monocytic leukemia (AML M5 or AMoL) is one of the several types of leukemia that are still awaiting cures. The use of chemotherapy for cancer management can be harmful to normal cells in the vicinity of the target leukemia cells. This study assessed the potency of the extracts from lesser galangal, turmeric, and ginger against AML M5 to use the suitable fractions in neutraceuticals. Aqueo...

Background: Free-living amoebae have various genera that are found in several environmental niches such as soil, freshwater, dust, seawater and hotsprings. Most of Free-living amoebae are normally harmless to humans. However, some ameoba such as Acanthamoeba and also Naegleria fowleri, Balamuthia manderillaris and Sappinia are identified as opportunistic and pathogenic amoebae that can cause ey...

Microbial transformations are key processes in marine phosphorus cycling. In this study, we investigated the contribution of phototrophic and heterotrophic groups to phosphate (Pi) uptake fluxes in the euphotic zone of the lowPi Mediterranean Sea and estimated Pi uptake kinetic characteristics. Surface soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) concentrations were in the range of 6–80 nmol L across the ...

A microfluidic system to determine hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) in individual HepG2 cells based on the electrokinetic gated injection was developed for the first time. A home-synthesized fluorescent probe, bis(p-methylbenzenesulfonate)dichlorofluorescein (FS), was employed to label intracellular H(2)O(2) in the intact cells. On a simple cross microchip, multiple single-cell operations, includin...

Since the start of COVID-19 outbreak, more than four million people have died this disease. Given its ability to provide a precise response, mass spectrometry-based proteomics could represent useful tool study pathology. To end, an untargeted nLC-ESI-MS/MS-based method characterise SARS-CoV-2 proteins, including possible variants, and investigate human saliva plasma proteome in single analysis ...

Leukocytes from patients with acute granulocytic leukemia (AGL), acute monocytic leukemia (AMoL) and blastic crisis of chronic granulocytic leukemia (BC) were incubated with serine-U-C’4 or aspartic acid-U-C’4. The metabolism was followed by determination of radioactivity of CO , lipids, proteins, organic acids, and nucleotides. Leukemic leukocytes in AGL, AMoL, and BC exhibit high serine utili...
