The aim of the present study was to discuss the design of a microfluidic chip consisting of columns, and its use for the enrichment of nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) cells. A microfluidic chip experiment was simulated using FLUENT software. Within the microfluidic chip, aptamers were bound to the reaction chamber (consisting of columns) using a biotin-avidin system.

Methods: ATP-TCA was used to detect the sensitivity of 35 specimens of fresh cervical cancer to six cytotoxic drugs as follows: paclitaxel (TAX), cisplatin (DDP), bleomycin (BLM), gemcitabine (GEM), 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), irinotecan (CPT-11). Consecutive sections from 35 cases of cervical cancer were assessed immunohistochemically for expression of P-gp, GST-pi and TS proteins.

Objective: To investigate the expression and correlation of KiSS-1, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and nuclear factor (NF)-kappaBp65 proteins in primary epithelial ovarian tumors.
Methods: Expression of KiSS-1, MMP-9, NF-kappaBp65 proteins in primary ovarian epithelial tumors (malignant n = 50, borderline tumor n = 20, benign adenoma n = 20, normal tissue n = 10) was evaluated by immunohistochemical staining.
Results: Expression of metastin protein in primary epithelial ovarian cancers was significantly higher than that in ovarian benign adenoma (P < 0.
