Contribution of NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) Pro187Ser polymorphism and risk of colorectal adenoma and colorectal cancer in Caucasians: a meta-analysis.

Background And Aims: The effects of polymorphism of NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1 Pro187Ser, rs1800566) on the risks of colorectal adenoma and cancer have been widely studied and results remain controversial. Therefore, the aim of this meta-analysis was to quantitatively assess the relationships.

Methods: Databases of Medline, Embase and Wanfang were retrieved until May 15, 2011.

Promising fusion protein design to target the U87 MG glioma cell line.

Gliomas, with a poor clinical course, account for 30% to 40% of all intracranial tumors. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies has emerged as a promising area of investigation and recently it has been shown that antibodies utilize complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) of their variable domains to bind to antigens with high affinity and specificity. Here, we designed an antibody mimetic fused with diphtheria toxin to target the U87 MG glioma cell line.

[The effect of protein metabolism and immunologic function of glutamine after operation in elder gastrointestinal tumor].

Aim: To explore the effect of protein metabolism and immunologic function of glutamine after operation in elder gastrointestinal tumor.

Methods: Form march 2007 to 2010, 87 cases of elder gastrointestinal tumor were given parenteral nutrition and glutamine 0.6 g/( Kg x d).

Temperature measurements by coherent Rayleigh scattering.

We demonstrate, for the first time to our knowledge, the utility of coherent Rayleigh scattering (CRS) for temperature measurements in low-density gases and weakly ionized plasmas by measuring the translational temperature of neutral argon in a glow discharge. By analysis of the near-Gaussian spectral profile of the CRS signal, we determine temperatures with an uncertainty of View Article and Find Full Text PDF

Coherent Rayleigh-Brillouin scattering.

Coherent Rayleigh-Brillouin scattering in gases has been studied experimentally for the first time in the kinetic regime and shown to give line shapes that differ significantly from the spontaneous Rayleigh-Brillouin scattering. A kinetic model was developed to obtain an analytic solution of the line shape for monatomic gases, and good agreement with the experimental data was achieved.
