Ectopic Expression of Embryo/Cancer Sequence A (ECSA) in KYSE-30 Cell Line Using Retroviral System

Background Human preimplantation embryonic cells share many similarities with cancer cells such as ability to self-renew, unlimited proliferation and maintenance of the undifferentiated state. Embryo-cancer sequence A (ECSA), also known as developmental pluripotency associated-2 (DPPA2), is a cancer testis antigen (CTA) with unclear biological function yet. Objective: CTAs are expressed normal...

Examination of the temporal effect in a flow injection analysis system using multi-channel absorbance detection.

In addition to the Poiseuille effect, a so-called temporal effect was proposed recently to elucidate the commonly observed tailing peak signals of flow injection analysis (FIA). A multi-channel absorbance detector was used in this study to obtain the FIA peaks on both the spatial and temporal coordinates. The temporal effect was analyzed by comparison of the profiles between the experimental an...

Flow-injection on-line electrochemical separation/determination of ions using a two-step oil/water-type flow cell system.

A flow system for electrochemical separation and detection of ions was constructed by connecting two oil/water (O/W)-type flow cells, in which a long polarizable O/W interface was formed at the inner surface of a porous poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) tube. Using this system, acetylcholine and choline ions, whose ion-transfer potentials are different by only 60 mV, could be separated and deter...

Laser Soldering of Rat Skin Using a Controlled Feedback System

Introduction: Laser tissue soldering using albumin and indocyanine green dye (ICG) is an effective technique utilized in various surgical procedures. The purpose of this study was to perform laser soldering of rat skin under a feedback control system and compare the results with those obtained using standard sutures. Material and Methods: Skin incisions were made over eight rats’ dorsa, which w...
