INTRODUCTION In recent year, the design concepts of spinal implants alternation from traditional stable fusion to restore normal spinal range of motion (ROM). Therefore, the method of the spinal implants in vitro test was advanced from traditional load control method (LCM) to displacement control method (DCM) [1-3]. In real life, it is still not clear whether to use LCM or the DCM to evaluate t...

We describe an approach to optical lithography using light-scattering contact masks with protruding elements that couple light into a photoresist. This method differs from conventional contact lithography in two important ways. First, because portions of the light-coupling mask ~LCM! are made from a polymer, intimate contact with the resist occurs over large areas without additional load. This ...

Laser capture microdissection (LCM) facilitates the isolation of individual cells from tissue sections, and when combined with RNA amplification techniques, it is an extremely powerful tool for examining genome-wide expression profiles in specific cell-types. LCM has been widely used to address various biological questions in both animal and plant systems, however, no attempt has been made so f...

Abstract In multivariate Geostatistics, the linear coregionalization model (LCM) has been widely used over last decades, in order to describe spatial dependence which characterizes two or more variables of interest. However, spatio-temporal multiple modeling, identification main elements a space–time (ST-LCM), as well latent structures underlying analyzed phenomenon, represents tough task. this...

Laser capture microdissection (LCM) is a technique by which individual cells can be harvested from tissue sections while they are viewed under the microscope, by tacking selected cells to an adhesive film with a laser beam. Harvested cells can provide DNA, RNA, and protein for the profiling of genomic characteristics, gene expression, and protein spectra from individual cell types. We have opti...

Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) is a powerful tool to isolate and study gene expression pattern of desired and less accessible cells or tissues from a heterogeneous population. Existing LCM-based methods fail to obtain high quality RNA including small RNAs from small microdissected plant tissue and therefore, are not suitable for miRNA expression studies. Here, we describe an efficient and ...

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and sera from 129 patients of a study population of 139 were tested for antibody to herpes simplex, measles,and mumps viruses. Herpes simplex virus antibody was found in three of five patients with laboratory-confirmed herpes simplex infection and in eight patients without serological or virological evidence of current infection with this or other common neurotropic vi...
