Analyzing extracellular vesicles (EVs) is an attractive approach to diagnosis of prostate diagnosis. However, existing methods of EVs isolation have low efficiency, purity, and long process time, and therefore have low diagnostic ability. To solve these the problems, a two-phase system is adapted to isolate EVs from a patient's urine. Urine from 20 prostate cancer (PCA) patients and 10 benign p...

The objective of this study was to determine the thermodynamic parameters (Delta(tr)G, Delta(tr)H and Delta(tr)S) associated with lysozyme and conalbumin partitioning in aqueous two-phases systems (ATPS). Influence of salt type and polyethylene glycol (PEG) concentrations on the partition coefficient of lysozyme and conalbumin from egg white was studied. The evaluated ATPS were composed of PEG ...

Here, we produce poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) based microparticles with varying morphologies, and temperature responsive properties utilizing a Pluronic F127/dextran aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) assisted self-assembly. The PLGA polymer, when emulsified in Pluronic F127/dextran ATPS, forms unique microparticle structures due to ATPS guided-self assembly. Depending on the PLGA concentrati...

This paper reports on an exploration of Boolos' Curious Inference, using higher-order automated theorem provers (ATPs). Surprisingly, only suitable shorthand notations had to be provided by hand for ATPs find a short proof. The lemmas required constructing proof are automatically discovered the ATPs. Given observations and suggestions in this paper, full automation related examples now seems wi...

An extractive bioconversion with Bacillus cereus cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase, EC 2.4.1.19) in aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) was investigated for the synthesis and recovery of cyclodextrins (CDs). Optimum condition for the extractive bioconversion of CDs was achieved in ATPS consisted of 7.7% (w/w) polyethylene glycol (PEG) 20,000 and 10.3% (w/w) dextran T500 with volume ratio (VR...

Momordica charantia, commonly known as karela or bitter melon, is used as a vegetable in Chinese, Indian subcontinent. However, in Chinese traditional medicine, the plant is usually used as an antidiabetic agent. One of the active components is charantin. Aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) were used for the purifying saponin because of their low cost. ATPS can reduce amount of organic solvent and...

Die Tagung dient dem Austausch zwischen Forschern, Entwicklern und Anwendern, die sich mit Themen aus dem Bereich der Programmiersprachen beschaeftigen. Alle Programmierparadigmen sind von Interesse: imperative, objektorientierte, funktionale, logische, parallele, graphische Programmiersprachen, auch verteilte und nebenlaeufige Programmierung in Intraund Internet-Anwendungen, sowie Konzepte zur...

Previous studies have suggested a pathogenetic role of autoantibodies (Abs) against ATP synthase (ATPs) in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Using a mouse model, we found that intracerebroventricular administration of anti-ATPs-Abs, purified from AD patients, leads to poor cognitive performance and pronounced cell damage in the hippocampus, a brain region specifically involved in learning...

Low back pain in patients with myofascial pain syndrome is characterized by painful active myofascial trigger points (ATPs) in muscles. This article reviews a novel, noninvasive modality that combines simultaneous imaging and treatment, thus taking advantage of the electrodermal information available from imaged ATPs to deliver localized neurostimulation, to stimulate peripheral nerve endings (...

Computer algebra systems (CASs) and automated theorem provers (ATPs) exhibit complementary abilities. CASs focus on ee-ciently solving domain-speciic problems. ATPs are designed to allow for the formalization and solution of wide classes of problems within some logical framework. Integrating CASs and ATPs allows for the solution of problems of a higher complexity than those confronted by each c...
