Lipid droplets, the dynamic organelles that store triglycerides (TG) and cholesterol esters (CE), are highly accumulated in colon cancer cells. This work studies TG CE subspecies profile carcinoma cell lines, SW480 derived from primary tumor, SW620 a metastasis of same tumor. It was previously reported total content is dramatically higher cells; however, has not been investigated detail. The pr...

This paper investigates pulse-profile-maintaining characteristics of a gain-switched nanosecond Raman fiber laser (RFL) and its amplifier (RFA). It is found that the pulse profiles can be precisely maintained after conversion, only if pump repetition frequency (PRF) an integer multiple of, unit fraction or fractions fundamental cavity-defined PRF. The produced pulses are then amplified in RFA, ...

Strong impacts of drifts on the divertor plasma in–out asymmetry and detachment are demonstrated in DIII-D with an open configuration. For forward toroidal field, BT, i.e., ion B × ?B drift toward divertor, particle flux to inner as represented by Langmuir probe measured saturation current (Jsat), exhibits a double peak structure, electron temperature, lower at target. Reversing BT direction re...

background: various studies are seeking to find new methods to improve techniques of laryngeal mask airway (lma) insertion and reduce possible complications. in this study, we embarked on a clinical study to investigate the advantages of a new insertion method of laryngeal mask and to compare it with the classic method. materials and methods: two hundred patients aged 20-60 years old in 2012 we...

OBJECTIVES Although fluid resuscitation guided by central venous oxygen saturation (SvcO2) is currently considered the gold standard in sepsis therapy, few studies have described hemodynamic and perfusion parameters during this procedure. This study aims to describe these parameters during septic shock without resuscitation and after 12 hours of goal-directed resuscitation. METHODS Thirteen a...

The ecophysiological response of plants to environmental heavy metal stress is indicated by the profile of its tissue HM concentrations (Cp) versus the concentration of the HM in the substrate (Cs). We report a systems biology approach to the modelling of the Cp-Cs profile using as loose analogy, the Verhulst model of population dynamics but formulated in the concentration domain. The HM is con...
