Comparative Trace Elemental Analysis in Cancerous and Noncancerous Human Tissues Using PIXE
The effect of high or low levels of trace metals in human tissues has been studied widely. There have been detectable significant variations in the concentrations of trace metals in normal and cancerous tissues suggesting that these variations could be a causative factor to various cancers. Even though essential trace metals play an important role such as stabilizers, enzyme cofactors, elements...
متن کاملThe concentration of heavy trace elements in pigment and cholesterol humangallstones: Comparative studies by PIXE analysis.
Background: The method of proton induced X-ray emission (PIXE) has been widely used as a sensitive technique to trace elemental analysis in both biological and medical fields. The sensitivity of this powerful method is in the order of ppm .The aim of this work is to analyze structural composition of 4 heavy trace elements with Z greater than 24 (Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn) in two kinds of gallstones and to...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of hippostasin/KLK11 gene expression in cancerous and noncancerous prostatic tissues.
OBJECTIVES Hippostasin/kallikrein 11 (KLK11) is a member of the human kallikrein gene family, which includes prostate-specific antigen (PSA), human kallikrein 2 (hK2), and another 12 members, all localized on chromosome 19q13.4. Hippostasin has two alternative splicing isoforms, known as the brain type and prostate type. We have previously reported that the prostate-type isoform is not expresse...
متن کاملEffect of Static Magnetic Field on Oxidant/Antioxidant Parameters in Cancerous and Noncancerous Human Gastric Tissues
Aim. To investigate the effects of static magnetic field (SMF) on oxidant and antioxidant parameters of the cancerous and noncancerous human gastric tissues. Materials and Methods. Gastric tissues obtained from patients with gastric cancer were used in the study. SMF was created by using two static magnets. Before and after treatment with SMF, oxidant and antioxidant parameters were measured in...
متن کاملDistinguishing cancerous from noncancerous cells through analysis of electrical noise.
Since 1984, electric cell-substrate impedance sensing (ECIS) has been used to monitor cell behavior in tissue culture and has proven sensitive to cell morphological changes and cell motility. We have taken ECIS measurements on several cultures of noncancerous and cancerous human ovarian surface epithelial cells. By analyzing the noise in real and imaginary electrical impedance, we demonstrate t...
