METHODS: Proteomic spectra of 46 serum samples from patients with gastric cancer before and after operation and 40 from normal individuals were generated by IMAC-Cu protein chip and surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry. RESULTS: Fourteen differentially expressed proteins in serum were screened by analysis of proteomic spectra of preoperative patients and normal individuals. We obtained 4 proteins (heat shock protein 27, glucoseregulated protein, prohibitin, protein disulfide isomerase A3) making up marker pattern which was able to class the patient-team and normal-team. These marker patterns yielded 95.7% sensitivity and 92.5% specificity, respectively. The proteins over-expressed in serum of preoperative patients were obviously down-regulated. CONCLUSION: Specific protein markers of gastric cancer can be used for the quick diagnosis of gastric cancer and judgment of prognosis. SELDI-TOF-MS is a useful tool for the detection and identification of new protein markers in serum.展开更多

The diameters of inner and outer electrode are 0.16 and 4 mm respectively. With a special assembly method, a perfect coaxiality of the two electrodes is obtained. An injection system utilizing a temperature control technique, achieves a constant and stable concentration of the sample, which is critical to the experiment. The formulas of the corona onset voltage of line-cylinder electrodes are also introduced. The experiment results show that negative substances such as formic acid and acetic acid can be ionized under ambient conditions. When combined with micro electrical mechanical system fabricationprocess, the volume of the ion source can be reduced dramatically, but there is an undesirable surface discharge. To solve the surface discharge problem, an improved structure was designed and tested. The simplicity of the interface of the ion source makes it suitable for mass spectrometer, micro mass spectrometer, ion mobility spectrometer, and high-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometer applications.展开更多

The melting point of pickling sludge is about 1350℃ and the viscosity is about 0.14 Pa.s at 1450 ℃, which are comparatively lower than those of normal refining slag. After heat treatment, the contents of sulfur and fluorine in the pickling sludge were reduced, confirming the thermal decomposition of sulfate in the sludge. Fluorine in the sludge is reduced by the gaseous SiF4 and A1F3 generated through the reactions of CaF2 with SiO2 and Al2O3. The preliminary results from the reduction test indicate that the sulfur content in the steel is not affected by the presence of sulfur in the sludge. The recovery of nickel is about 40%, and the chromium content changes marginally due to the protective atmosphere under the reduction condition of chromic oxide. The pickling sludge is a potential auxiliary material for the production of stainless steel.展开更多

The VN molecules were selectively excited to single rotational levels of the intermediate VN(D3H0, v'=0) state by using a VIS dye laser prior to photoionization by employing a UV laser. This two-color scheme allows the measurements of rovibronically selected and re- solved PFI-PE spectra for the VN+(X2A; v+=0, 1, and 2) ion vibrational bands. By simulating the rotationally resolved PFI-PE spectra, J+=3/2 is determined to be the lowest rotational level of the ground electronic state, indicating that the symmetry of the ground VN+ electronic state is 2A3/2. The analysis of the PFI-PE spectra for VN+ also yields accurate values for the adiabatic ionization energy for the formation of VN+(X2A3/2), IE(VN)=56909.5+0.8 cm-1 (7.05588±0.00010 eV), the vibrational fre- quency wc+=1068.0±0.8 cm-1, the anharmonicity constant wc+Xe+=5.8±0.8 cm-1, the rotational constants Be+=0.6563±0.0005 cm-1 and ae+=0.0069±0.0004 cm-1, and the equi-librium bond length, re+=1.529A, for VN+(X2A3/2); along with the rotational constants Bc+=0.6578i0.0028 cm-1 and a+=0.0085±0.0028 cm-1, and the equilibrium bond length re+=1.527A for VN+(X2As/2), and the spin-orbit coupling constant A=153.3±0.8 cm-1 for VN+(X2/k5/2,3/2). The highly precise energetic and spectroscopic data obtained in the present study are valuable for benchmarking the predictions based on state-of-the-art ab initio quantum calculations.展开更多
