Structures of Solids

18.4K
Solids in which the atoms, ions, or molecules are arranged in a definite repeating pattern are known as crystalline solids. Metals and ionic compounds typically form ordered, crystalline solids. A crystalline solid has a precise melting temperature because each atom or molecule of the same type is held in place with the same forces or energy. Amorphous solids or non-crystalline solids (or, sometimes, glasses) which lack an ordered internal structure and are randomly arranged. Substances that...

Metallic Solids

20.9K
Metallic solids such as crystals of copper, aluminum, and iron are formed by metal atoms. The structure of metallic crystals is often described as a uniform distribution of atomic nuclei within a “sea” of delocalized electrons. The atoms within such a metallic solid are held together by a unique force known as metallic bonding that gives rise to many useful and varied bulk properties.
All metallic solids exhibit high thermal and electrical conductivity, metallic luster, and malleability....

Blood Studies for Cardiovascular System II: CRP, Hcy, and Cardiac Natriuretic Peptide Markers

614
Cardiac biomarkers are critical in diagnosing, prognosing, and managing cardiovascular diseases. Routine measurement of specific biomarkers such as B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), C-reactive protein (CRP), and homocysteine (Hcy) is common practice in clinical settings to evaluate heart function and predict cardiovascular events.
These markers indicate stress or strain on the heart muscle:
Natriuretic Peptides (BNP)
Cardiac myocytes produce these hormones in response to ventricular stretching...

Peptide Bonds02:43

Peptide Bonds

83.5K
A peptide bond covalently attaches amino acids through a dehydration reaction. One amino acid's carboxyl group and another amino acid's amino group combine, releasing a water molecule. The resulting bond is the peptide bond. The products that such linkages form are peptides. As more amino acids join this growing chain, the resulting chain is a polypeptide. Each polypeptide has a free amino group at one end. This end has the N-terminal, or the amino-terminal, and the other end has a free...

Network Covalent Solids02:18

Network Covalent Solids

16.2K
Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

Molecular and Ionic Solids02:54

Molecular and Ionic Solids

20.3K
Crystalline solids are divided into four types: molecular, ionic, metallic, and covalent network based on the type of constituent units and their interparticle interactions.
Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Oncology
  • Analytical Chemistry

Background:

  • Solid tumors are associated with systemic inflammation, leading to common molecular events.
  • Urinary profiling offers a non-invasive method for detecting cancer biomarkers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify a general urinary marker pattern for solid tumor detection.
  • To investigate common systemic events associated with tumor-related inflammation.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 2,055 urinary profiles using capillary electrophoresis coupled to mass-spectrometry.
  • Statistical analysis and machine learning (support vector machine) to develop a multi-dimensional marker pattern.
  • Independent validation of the marker pattern in a separate patient cohort.

Main Results:

  • A pattern of 193 peptides significantly differentiating cancer patients from controls was identified.
  • The marker pattern achieved an AUC of 0.82 in validation, increasing to 0.85 with age inclusion.
  • Identified peptides included mucins, fibrinogen, and collagen fragments, indicative of cancer-related features.

Conclusions:

  • A general urinary marker pattern for solid tumor detection was successfully developed in this proof-of-concept study.
  • The pattern shows potential for early cancer diagnostics and future monitoring of tumor recurrence.
  • Further studies are planned to assess the clinical utility of this novel biomarker pattern.
