METHODS： We examined the tumor differentiation phenotype, the presence of mutations in APC and p53, and the microsatellite instability （MSI） status in 48 gastric adenomas and 171 differentiated-type carcinomas, The tumor differentiation phenotype was determined by examining the expression of human gastric mucin （HGM）, NUC6, MUC2 and CD10, The tumors were then classified into gastric- （G-）, gastric and intestinal mixed （GI-）, or intestinal- （I-） phenotypes, according to the immunopositivity of the above markers, The presence of mutations in APC and p53 and the MSI status were also investigated in all the tumors, RESULTS： Gastric adenomas were significantly associated with CDIO expression, I-phenotype tumors and the presence of APC mutations, compared with carcinomas （66.7% vs 25.1%, P 〈 0.0001; 56.3% vs 14.6%, P 〈 0.0001; 39.6% vs 14.0%, P 〈 0.0001, respectively） and inversely associated with expressions of HGM and MUC6 and the presence of p53 mutations （10.4% vs 62.6%, P 〈 0.0001; 39.6% vs 64.3%, P = 0.003; 2.0% vs 26.3%, P = 0.001, respectively）. The frequency of APC mutations was significantly higher in HGM-negative tumors, MUC6-negative tumors, CD10-positive tumors and I-phenotype tumors than in HGM-positive tumors, MUC6- positive tumors, CD10-negative tumors and G-phenotype tumors （32.7% vs 7.1%, P 〈 0.0001; 27.8% vs 14.0%, P = 0.0182; 37.3% vs 10.4%, P 〈 0.0001; and 38.5% vs 9.5%, P = 0.0017, respectively）. The frequency of MSI was significantly higher in MUC6-positive tumors, CD10- negative tumors and G-phenotype tumors than in MUC6- negative tumors, CD10-positive tumors and I-phenotype tumors （24.8% vs 6.7%, P = 0.0009; 22.2% vs 8.0%, P = 0.0143; and 28.6% vs 9.6%, P = 0.0353, respectively）. CONCLUSION： The tumor differentiation phenotype is closely related to tumor invasion and genetic alterations in gastric differentiated-type tumors.展开更多

The optimized conditions for the fabrication of the thin films were investigated for different types of fullerene derivatives: [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester, [6,6]-phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester, and indene-C60-monoadduct. The spray diameter during the ESD process was observed as a function of the supply rate achieved by changing the applied voltage. In all cases, the spray diameter increased with increasing applied voltage, reaching the maximum diameter (Dmax) in the voltage range 4 to 6 kV. It was clear that Dmax was influenced by the dipole moments of the fullerene derivatives (as calculated by density functional theory methods). Scanning electron microscopy observation of the?fabricated thin films showed that imbricated structures were formed through the stacking of the fullerene-derivative sheets. Atomic force microscopy images revealed that the density of the imbricated structure was dependent on the spray diameter during the ESD process, and the root-mean-square roughness of the film surface decreased with increasing applied voltage. These findings suggest that the ESD method will be effective for the preparation of fullerene-derivative thin films for the production of organic devices.展开更多

However, obtaining an optimum ESD processing condition for nanoparticle pattern relies much on trial experiments because of the lack of reliable numerical simulation. In this study, the deposition characteristics of nanoparticle generated by electrospray were investigated by using a three-dimensional Lagrangian model. Three important process parameters, including solution dielectric constant, applied voltage and surface charge density on mask were considered by fixing the geometrical parameters of the ESD device. Simulation result showed that under the condition of without a mask, the spray diameter increases with increasing solvent dielectric constant, and higher applied voltage makes the spray area wider. Controllability of focusing by changing surface charge density on the mask was confirmed： higher surface charge density on the mask results in more focused deposition. Validity of the numerical simulation developed in this study was verified by comnarison with exoerimental data.展开更多
