چکیده
We previously documented the presence of mutations/deletions in the tumor suppressor gene p16 in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). However, the association of these p16 alterations with clinical outcome is unknown. In this study, RNA was isolated from 19 frozen SCCHN from 19 patients who were previously enrolled in the OSU intensification regimen 2. Quantitative real-time RT-PCR and direct sequencing analysis was then performed on the specimens to detect p16 gene alterations. Clinical outcome for each patient was updated and correlated with the p16 alterations found. Five tumor specimens were found to have no or very low expression of p16 when compared with normal tissue. The remaining 14 tumor samples demonstrated overexpression of p16 relative to the level of expression in normal tissue. Sequence analysis of the p16 RT-PCR product from these specimens allowed identification of mutational changes in the coding sequence of p16 in four of the SCCHN specimens. Subsequent analysis of clinical outcome associated with locoregional/distant failure demonstrated no correlation with either altered expression of p16 or mutational status of p16. Results from this study indicate that p16 alterations are frequently found in this cohort of SCCHN. However, p16 alterations alone do not appear to be associated with clinical outcome.

متن کاملCertain subclasses of bi-univalent functions associated with the Aghalary-Ebadian-Wang operator
In this paper, we introduce and investigate two new subclasses of the functions class $ Sigma $ of bi-univalent functions defined in the open unit disk, which are associated with the Aghalary-Ebadian-Wang operator. We estimate the coefficients $|a_{2} |$ and $|a_{3} |$ for functions in these new subclasses. Several consequences of the result are also pointed out.

Localization Boyan algorithm to detect forest fires from MODIS sensor images
Of phenomena which much damage and irreparable import to forests and natural resources is the fire that each year, more than 100 fires occur in Iran and thousands of hectares of trees and plants eliminates. Given that fire risk is high in most parts of the world, full and continuous monitoring on this natural phenomenon, is essential. Use remote sensing is a way to identify and manage fire. Ahe...
