Simultaneously, the relationship between Popdc3 expression and the survival of the patients was retrospectively analyzed.RESULTS： Popdc3 was detected in 72 （85.71%） of 84 human nontumor mucosa. High expression of Popdc3protein was detected in 78 （25.49%） of 306 human gastric cancer cases, and low expression was detected in 228 （74.51%）. Low expression of Popdc3 correlated with depth of invasion （P 〈 0.0001）, regional lymph nodes （P 〈 0.0001） and distant metastasis （P =0.02）, and tumor, nodes, metastasis （TNM） stages （P 〈 0.0001）. On multivariate analysis, only the patient＇s gender, regional lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, TNM stages, and the expression of Popdc3 were independent prognostic factors in patients with gastric cancer. The Kaplan-Meier plot showed that low Popdc3 expression had a much more significant effect on the survival of those patients with early-stage tumors X^2 = 104.741, P 〈 0.0001）, with a 〉 51.9% reduction in the three-year survival compared with high Popdc3 expression. In late stages, the difference was also significant X^2 = 5.930, P = 0.015）, with a 32.6% reduction in the three-year survival.CONCLUSION： Reduced expression of Popdc3 may play a significant role in the carcinogenesis and progression of gastric cancer. Popdc3 may be an independent prognostic factor.展开更多

This paper develops a partitioning principal component analysis(PPCA) method for process monitoring. A variable reasoning strategy is proposed and applied to recognize multiple fault variables. Compared with traditional process monitoring methods, the PPCA strategy not only reflects the local behavior of process variation in each model(each direction of principal components),but also improves the monitoring performance through the combination of local monitoring results. Then, a variable reasoning strategy is introduced to locate fault variables. Unlike the contribution plot, this method locates normal and fault variables effectively, and gives initiatory judgment for ambiguous variables. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed process monitoring and fault variable identification schemes is verified through a numerical example and TE chemical process.展开更多

The principle, traits, functions, etc., of the electrochemical fingerprint have detailedly been analyzed and discussed by the B-Z oscillatory system using malonic acid as main dissipation substance, characterized by the fact that different influences of different Chinese traditional medicines on the mechanism of the oscillatory reaction cause different changes of the shape of the potential-time curve of the oscillatory system under the conditions of constant tem- perature and pressure. An economical, simple and convenient, easy pushing and effective scientific method for distinguishing and evaluating multifarious Chinese traditional medicines has success- fully been put forward.展开更多

It plays a key role in regulating plant responses to abiotic stress and in controlling seed germination, growth, and stomatal aperture. A rapid, sensitive analytical method for the ABA detection is urgently required for further investigation of ABA signaling. In this work, an immunomagnetic assay combined with CdSe/ZnS amplification of chemiluminescence has been developed for the detection of ABA. The result could be read out in 30 min at least, with the simplified procedure of immunomagnetic assay. Under the optimized condition, a linear range from 1 pM to 10 nM was obtained. An unexpected result induced by the dose hook effect was discussed. This method provided the high selectivity for ABA over other components that might be contained in real samples.展开更多
