A fast and sensitive electrochemical lipase-based sandwich hybridization assay for detection of attomole levels of DNA has been developed. A combination of magnetic beads, used for pre-concentration and bioseparation of the analyte with a lipase catalyst label allowed detection of DNA with a limit of 20 amol.

We propose the decay modes B → a0(→ ηπ)π to determine the CKM phase α. One can analyze these modes through (i) the B → a0π isospin pentagon, (ii) the time dependent Dalitz plot of B0(t) → a±0 π → ηπ+π−, and (iii) the time dependence of B0(t) → a0(→ ηπ0)π0. We show that the a0π modes have certain advantages as compared to the ρπ modes, and strongly recommend the time dependent Dalitz plot analys...

Carboplatin, [Pt(NH3)2(CBDCA-O,O')], 1, where CBDCA is cyclobutane-1,1-dicarboxylate, is used against ovarian, lung, and other types of cancer. We recently showed (Di Pasqua et al. (2006) Chem. Res. Toxicol. 19, 139-149) that carboplatin reacts with carbonate under conditions that simulate therapy to produce carbonato carboplatin, cis-[Pt(NH3)2(O-CBDCA)(CO3)]2-, 2. We use 13C and 1H NMR and UV-...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether tissue angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is increased in synovia from patients with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis or chondromalacia patellae. METHODS Sections of synovia from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (n = 7), osteoarthritis (n = 7) or chondromalacia patellae (n = 6) were tested for immunoreactivity for ACE, and for binding of the ACE inhibitor...

BACKGROUND Histiocytic sarcoma (HS) is a rare malignant tumor. Underlying or associated disorders have been reported in some patients with HS. We herein report a very rare case of HS combined with acute monocytic leukemia (AMoL). CASE PRESENTATION A 62-year-old man presented with systemic lymph node enlargement and pancytopenia in August 2012. Bone marrow (BM) aspirate showed abnormal hematop...

Title of Thesis: TERPS: THE EMBEDDED RELIABLE PROCESSING SYSTEM Amol Vishwas Gole, Master of Science, 2003 Thesis directed by: Professor Bruce L. Jacob Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) can have an adverse effect on commercial electronics. As feature sizes of integrated circuits become smaller, their susceptibility to EMI increases. In light of...

BACKGROUND Viral hepatitis is a major health problem worldwide. Change in transmission patterns of hepatitis B makes it necessary to re-evaluate its prevalence and risk factors. OBJECTIVES We aimed to determine the prevalence of HBV infection and its related risk factors in Amol city, Northern Iran. PATIENTS AND METHODS As a population based study, a cluster sampling approach was used and 6...

A new type of IMAC material, with ATP as the chelating ligand, was synthesized and applied to capture phosphopeptides. For the first time, the approach for phosphopeptide enrichment could provide selectivity under 5000-fold dilution by nonphosphopeptides, and sensitivity of on-target enrichment at 3 amol.
