Precise measurement for line structure light vision sensor with large range.

High precision and large measurement range are the target of any one three-dimensional scanner. For a line structure light vision sensor, measurement precision depends on its calibration results, i.e.

Down-regulation of MSMO1 promotes the development and progression of pancreatic cancer.

Methylsterol monooxygenase 1 (MSMO1), as a completely unique tumor biomarker, plays a vital role in the malignant progression of various cancer. Until now, the potential function and pathway of MSMO1 in the development of pancreatic cancer (PC) has not been explored yet, to our knowledge. We systematically explored the detail function of MSMO1 in Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cell proliferation of PC and .

Effect of Severity of Liver Cirrhosis on Surgical Outcomes of Hepatocellular Carcinoma After Liver Resection and Microwave Coagulation.

Background: Liver resection (LR) and percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy (PMCT) are both considered as radical treatments for small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, it is still unclear whether to select LR or PMCT in HCC patients with different degrees of liver cirrhosis. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of LR and PMCT in the treatment of solitary and small HCC accompanied with different degrees of liver cirrhosis.

miR-944 Suppresses EGF-Induced EMT in Colorectal Cancer Cells by Directly Targeting GATA6.

Background: miR-944 belongs to the MicroRNAs family, as shown in our previous study, and is essential in the colorectal cancer (CRC) progression. It is negatively associated with invasion depth and lymph node status. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is essential in tumor invasion and metastasis.

Musashi2 promotes the progression of pancreatic cancer through a novel ISYNA1-p21/ZEB-1 pathway.

Our previous studies found overexpression of Musashi2 (MSI2) conduced to the progression and chemoresistance of pancreatic cancer (PC) by negative regulation of Numb and wild type p53 (wtp53). Now, we further investigated the novel signalling involved with MSI2 in PC. We identified inositol-3-phosphate synthase 1 (ISYNA1) as a novel tumour suppressor regulated by MSI2.

Establishment of an adult zebrafish model of retinal neurodegeneration induced by NMDA.

Aim: To establish a model of retinal neurodegeneration induced by N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) in adult zebrafish.

Methods: We compared the effects of three different NMDA delivery methods on retinal neurodegeneration in adult zebrafish: immersion (I.M.

[Calibration Procedure of Laser Confocal Micro-Raman Spectrometer].

As a common spectral characterization technique, Raman spectroscopy is widely used and has a specified calibration procedure. Based on laser confocal micro-Raman spectrometer, in this paper, we briefly introduced the principle, configuration and main components of Raman spectrometer. In addition, the calibration procedures were also presented, with an emphasis on the calibration of spectrometer (spectrograph) and that of excitation laser wavelength.

[Correlation between Gli1 expression and clinicopathological significance in human pancreatic cancer].

Objective: To study the clinicopathological significance and relationship of Gli1, MDM2 and p53 expression in human pancreatic cancer.

Methods: The expression of Gli1, MDM2 and p53 proteins in 57 paired paraffin embedded pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) specimens and adjacent non-cancerous pancreatic tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry. The relationship between their expression and clinicopathological characters was analyzed.

[Clinicopathological significance of the expression of calreticulin in human pancreatic cancer].

Objective: To study the clinicopathological significance of the expression of calreticulin (CRT) protein and mRNA in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

Methods: The expression of CRT protein in 33 paired paraffin embedded PDAC specimens and adjacent non-cancerous pancreatic tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry. Western blot and RT-PCR were used to examine the expression of CRT protein and mRNA in 12 paired fresh PDAC specimens and adjuvant non-cancerous pancreatic tissues.

[Clinicopathological significance of the expression of carbonic anhydrase I and II in human pancreatic cancer].

Objective: To explore the clinicopathological significance of the expression of carbonic anhydrase I (CAI) and carbonic anhydrase II (CAII) protein and mRNA levels in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

Methods: The expression of CAI and CAII protein in 57 pairs of paraffin-embedded PDAC specimens and adjacent non-cancerous pancreatic tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry. The relationship between the protein expression and clinicopathological characters was analyzed.

[Clinicopathological significance of the expression of carbonic anhydrase II in human pancreatic invasive ductal cancer].

Objective: To study the clinicopathological significance of the expression of carbonic anhydrase (CA)II protein and mRNA in primary invasive ductal cancer (IDC) of human pancreas.

Methods: The expression of CAII protein in 33 paired paraffin embedded IDC specimens of the pancreas and paired adjacent non-cancerous pancreatic tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry. Western blot and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were used to examine the expression of CAII protein and mRNA level in 12 paired fresh IDC specimens of the pancreas and adjuvant non-cancerous pancreatic tissues.
