Impact of Plasma Focal Adhesion Kinase, Ephrin Receptor Type A4, and Adiponectin in Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia
...Show More Authors
Abstract<sec> <title>BACKGROUND:

Focal adhesion kinase (FAK), ephrin receptor type A4 (EphA4), and adiponectin (ADPN) are important indicators in inflammation, tumor growth, migration, and angiogenesis in some cancers. The predictive impact of their concentrations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients to be identified remains. The research sought to explore the effect of FAK, EphA4, and ADPN as prognostic biomarkers, and their influence on patient survival, and to look for any potential correlation between their levels with hematological parameters in AML patients.

PATIENTS, MATERIALS, AND METHODS:

The study was carried out on 65 newly diagnosed adult de novo AML patients and 15 controls. Plasma levels were assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay at diagnosis. The overall survival (OS) was determined after 12 months.

RESULTS:

The FAK concentrations were significantly (P < 0.001) higher among AML patients than the controls. EphA4 level was insignificantly lower in AML patients than in control (P = 0.902), and insignificantly higher ADPN concentrations among AML patients than the control (P = 0.352). There were no significant differences between monocytic and nonmonocytic AML patients in FAK, EphA4, and ADPN levels. Regarding the OS, cases with lower than median levels of FAK were associated with a significant (P = 0.002) higher OS time in days, and cases with higher than median levels of EphA4 and ADPN had a significant (P = 0.007 and P = 0.039, respectively) higher OS time in days.

CONCLUSIONS:

FAK, EphA4, and ADPN can be used as noninvasive prognostic markers in AML patients with a possible role in AML pathogenesis, and resistance to chemotherapy.

Abstract<p>We report a new theranostic device based on lead sulfide quantum dots (PbS QDs) with optical emission in the near infrared wavelength range decorated with affibodies (small 6.5 kDa protein-based antibody replacements) specific to the cancer biomarker human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), and zinc(II) protoporphyrin IX (ZnPP) to combine imaging, targeting and therapy within one nanostructure. Colloidal PbS QDs were synthesized in aqueous solution with a nanocrystal diameter of ∼5 nm and photoluminescence emission in the near infrared wavelength range. The Z<sub>HER2:432</sub> affibody, mutated through the introduction of two cysteine residues at the C-terminus (</p> ... Show More

Enhancing Asphalt Performance and Its Long-Term Sustainability with Nano Calcium Carbonate and Nano Hydrated Lime
...Show More Authors

Nanomaterials enhance the performance of both asphalt binders and asphalt mixtures. They also improve asphalt durability, which reduces resource consumption and environmental impact in the long term associated with the production and transportation of asphalt materials. Thus, this paper studies the effectiveness of Nano Calcium Carbonate (Nano CaCO3) and Nano Hydrated Lime (NHL) as modifiers and examines their impact on ranges from 0% to 10% through comprehensive laboratory tests. Softening point, penetration, storage stability, viscosity, and mass loss due to short-term aging using the Rolling Thin Film Oven Test (RTFO) were performed on asphalt binders. Results indicated a significant improvement in binder stiffness, particularly

Rapid, reproducible and accurate method has been developed for the assay for of mebendazol (MBZ) residual assay. The method is based on alkaline hydrolysis of MBZ with sodium hydroxide then oxidation with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) followed by coupling with 4-Bromoaniline (4-BA) to yield a highly colored product absorbed at maximum 434 nm. Regression analysis of linearity range was found (0.6-2.8) µg.ml-1.  The optimum conditions that affect the oxidation were studied. The developed method was found to be precise with mean value of relative standard deviation (1.153- 1.303) and accurate with relative error (-0.5940-1.7821) .The calculated molar absorptivity and sandal sensitivity values of (29825 L.mol-1.cm
