The simulation result shows that the component of In in InGaAs in the active region cannot be too small, otherwise the thickness of InGaAs active layer will exceed the critical thickness, meanwhile the asymmetric large optical cavity can decrease the cavity loss effectively. The epitaxial structure was grown by MOCVD, experimental results of varying cavity length showed that the internal quantum efficiency reached 98.57%, and the cavity loss was only 0.273 cm?1. Devices with 4 mm-cavity-length and 100 μm-strip-width were fabricated, 47.4% wall-plug efficiency was reached under QCW pulse condition at room temperature, and the peak wavelength was 1059.4 nm.展开更多

In this study, SKOV3/T4, a metastatic subpopulation of ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells, was enriched to explore potential interventions against metastaticassociated drug resistance. Quantitative genomic and functional analyses were performed and found that slug was significantly increased in the SKOV3/T4 subpopulation and contributed to the high resistance of SKOV3/T4. Further studies showed that slug activated c-Met in a ligand-independent manner due to elevated levels of fibronectin and provoked integrin α V function, which was confirmed by the significant correlation of slug and p-Met levels in 121 ovarian cancer patient samples. Intriguingly,c-Met inhibitor(s) exhibited greatly enhanced anti-cancer effects in slug-positive ovarian cancer models both in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, IHC analyses revealed that slug levels were highly correlated with reduced survival of ovarian cancer patients. Taken together, this study not only uncovers the critical roles of slug in drug resistance in ovarian cancer but also highlights a promising therapeutic strategy by targeting the noncanonical activation of c-Met in slug-positive ovarian cancer patients with poor prognosis.展开更多
