    摘要: The present invention relates to the identification of biological markers of ovarian cancer. Specifically, cancer-associated autoantibodies to ANXA1, ARP3, SAHH, SERPH, ARAP1, OTUB1, ATP1A1, UBA1, and CFAH have been identified in subjects with early stage ovarian cancer. These autoantibodies can be utilised for a range of purposes including methods for detecting ovarian cancer, methods for screening for early stage ovarian cancer, and methods for assessing treatment response as well as disease progression and recurrence. The autoantibodies also represent prognostic markers of ovarian cancer development.

    摘要: A dual wavelength pumping system and method have been developed to improve the efficiency of laser systems operating in the raid infrared region has been developed, in a conventional system the ions are excited from a ground state to an upper lasing state using a light pump. They then undergo a laser transition to leave the ion in a long lived post lasing excited state from which it eventually decays back to the ground state. In contrast they present system uses a first light pump to pump ions from the ground state to the post lasing state, and a second light pump to pump ions from the post lasing state to the upper lasing state. This system thus exploits the long lifetime of the post lasing state to enable it to become a virtual ground state for the second laser allowing continued cycling of ions between the upper lasing state and the post lasing state. A system using an Erbium, doped fiber generated a 3.5 μm laser output with an average power of over 250 mW and an initial slope, efficiency of 25.4% (previous system have only generates less than 10 mW of power with efficiencies of 3%).

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a device for characterizing a chromatic property of foodstuff. The device includes a light source arranged to emit light having at least two wavelengths or wavelength ranges. The light source is further arranged to direct the light to a surface of at least the foodstuff. The device also includes a detector positioned to detect at least a portion of reflected light and arranged to generate an output that is indicative of an intensity of detected reflected light. The device is arranged such that respective outputs are generated for the at least two wavelengths or wavelength ranges. A relation between the output for one of the at least two wavelengths or wavelength ranges and the output for the other or another one of the at least two wavelengths or wavelength ranges is indicative of the chromatic property of the surface of the foodstuff.

    摘要: The present invention provides biological markers associated with gastric cancer. In particular, the present invention provides a method of diagnosing gastric cancer (GC) in a subject, the method including: measuring an expression level of one or more proteins in the subject, wherein the one or more proteins are selected from the group consisting of vitamin D binding protein (VDBP), clusterin, insulin like growth factor binding protein complex acid labile subunit (IGFALS), and afamin; comparing the expression level of the or each protein in the subject to a reference expression level for the or each protein; and diagnosing GC in the subject on the basis of the comparison. On the basis of the identification of biological markers associated with gastric cancer, the present invention also provides a method of determining if a subject is susceptible to developing gastric cancer, a method of assessing progression of gastric cancer in a subject, a method for screening a candidate therapeutic agent useful for treating gastric cancer in a subject, and a kit for diagnosing gastric cancer in a subject.
