With the recent introduction of HER2 molecular targeted therapy for patients with advanced gastric cancer, determination of HER2 status is crucial in order to select patients who may benefit from this treatment. This paper provides an update on our knowledge of HER2 in gastric and gastroesophageal cancer, including the prognostic relevance of HER2, the key differences between HER2 protein expression interpretation in breast and gastric cancer, the detection methods and the immunohistochemistry scoring system.展开更多

[ Method] Orthogonal design and single factor test were applied to establish the ISSR-PCR reaction system of E. sibiricus, optimize the influencing factors including Taq DNA polymerase, DNA template concentration, Mg2 + , dNTP, primer concentration, and screen the annealing temperature, number of cycles and extension time. [ Result ] The optimal reaction system for ISSR analysis contains 0.2 mmol/L dNTPs, 0.2 μmol/L ISSR primers, 1.5 U of Taq DNA polymerase, 2.5 μl of 10 × PCR Buffer, 1.5 mmol/L MgC12 and 40 ng of template DNA in 25 μl total volume; the amplification was conducted with 35 cycles and extension time of 90 s. [ Conclusion] ISSR-PCR reaction system for E. sibiricus was established and optimized, and then verified using two E. sibiricus germplasrns, demonstrating that the ISSR-PCR reaction system is stable and can be used for the genetic analysis of E. sibiricus.展开更多

It is therefore essential to understand the distribution pattern and the factors influencing such patterns. The present study is aimed at observing the patterns of species richness, abundances and species composition of epiphytic orchids and ferns in two subtropical forests in Nepal. We also studied the relationship of host plants(Schima wallichii and Quercus lanata) and epiphyte species. Data were collected in Naudhara community forest(CF) and the national forest(NF) in Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park. The data were analyzed using univariate and multivariate tests. In total, we recorded 41 species of epiphytes(33 orchid and 8 fern species). Orchid species abundance is significantlyhigher in CF compared to NF. Orchid species richness and abundance increased with increasing southern aspect whereas it decreased with increasing canopy cover, and fern species richness increased with host bark roughness. Orchid abundance was positively correlated with increasing bark p H, stem size, tree age and tree height and negatively correlated with increasing steepness of the area. Likewise, fern abundances were high in places with high canopy cover, trees that were tall and big, but decreased with increasing altitude and southern aspect. The composition of the orchid and fern species was affected by altitude, aspect, canopy cover, DBH, number of forks and forest management types. We showed that the diversity of orchid and fern epiphytes is influenced by host characteristics as well as host types. The most important pre-requisite for a high epiphyte biodiversity is the presence of oldrespectively tall trees, independent of the recent protection status. This means:(i) for protection, e.g.in the frame of the national park declaration, such areas should be used which host such old tall trees;and(ii) also in managed forests and even in intensively used landscapes epiphytes can be protected by letting a certain number of trees be and by giving them space to grow old and tall.展开更多

Interference test is a part of the bacterial endotoxin inspection method, used to judge whether the sample can be applied in BET. However, Limuloid resources are exhausted in China, which is an important source for LAL. Here, we reported 5 simple models for interfering factors test in the BET, and compared new models with the United States Pharmacopoeia 36 (USP36).展开更多

The impacts of several test factors on heavy ion single event MCU in 65 nm SRAM are studied based on the buildup of MCU test data acquiring and processing technique, including the heavy ion LET, the tilt angle, the device orientation, the test pattern and the supply voltage; the MCU physical bitmaps are extracted correspondingly. The dependencies of parameters such as the MCU percentage, MCU mean and topological pattern on these factors are summarized and analyzed. This work is meaningful for developing a more reasonable single event test method and assessing the effectiveness of anti-MCU strategies on nanometer-scale devices.展开更多
