AIMS To investigate the clinical significance of receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 2 (ROR2) in cervical cancer. METHODS We examined ROR2 levels in 8 pairs of surgically resected cervical cancer and adjacent normal cervical tissues by real-time PCR. Moreover, we performed immunohistochemistry to examine ROR2 expression in 94 paraffin-embedded cervical cancer samples and analyzed th...

Caspases are a family of cysteine proteases involved in the effector arm of physiologic cell death [1]. In 1998, a novel caspase designated ‘‘caspase 14’’ was described in embryonic and adult tissues, especially epidermal keratinocytes [2—4]. Unlike other caspases (such as 3, 6 and 7), caspase 14 is not processed by typical death stimuli or activated during apoptosis induced by ultraviolet irra...

Abstract The corrosion performance of phase change materials on stainless steel was studied using single fatty acid, acid/paraffin mixed and acid/paraffin/graphite composite as media. results show that the paraffin graphite to is very small; among them, stearic acid series are least corrosive can be used ideal energy storage medium for heat exchange devices.

PURPOSE To determine whether, by employing recent advances in immunocytochemical technique, it is possible to identify reliably the product of the retinoblastoma (RB) susceptibility gene, p110RB1, in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded eyes with commercially available primary antibodies. If so, the authors sought to determine the distribution of p110RB1 in normal human eyes and retinoblastomas in...

Objective: Cyclin D1 promotes cell cycle progression during G1 phase, a key event in G1-S transition. It is positive regulator of cycle. Overexpression may lead to disturbance normal control and tumor formation. The objective the study was evaluate expression cyclin varying grades oral squamous carcinoma (OSCC). Methods: Nine formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissues were immunohistochemically a...
