Abstract:

Objective:Analysis of phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase catalytic subunit of alpha(PIK3CA) expression in nasopharyngeal carcinoma and prognosis.Method:On normal nasopharyngeal mucosa and tissue adjacent to carcinoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues serine/threonine protein kinase (pAkt) and the expression of PIK3CA status detection,immunohistochemical method,in-depth analysis is made to the relationship between the development of tumor; The expression of tumour stage,prognosis and IK3CA comprehensive analysis of the relationship between.Result:Tissue adjacent to carcinoma,pAkt in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissue,the expression of PIK3CA increased significantly(P<0.05). There was a significant correlation between the degree of overexpression of PIK3CA and clinical stage(T stage: r=0.437,P<0.01;N stage: r=0.318,P<0.05; clinical stage:r=0.496,P<0.01).Compared with PIK3CA-negative patients,PIK3CA-positive patients had a worse overall survival(P<0.01).Conclusion:PIK3CA is highly expressed in nasopharyngeal carcinoma,which is significantly associated with worse clinical stage and worse overall survival prognosis.

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a procedure to remove secretions from the upper part of the respiratory tract that the patient cannot clear independently. It helps maintain airway patency and prevents complications such as aspiration pneumonia.

Chromatin Position Affects Gene Expression

Chromatin Position Affects Gene Expression

Chromatin is the massive complex of DNA and proteins packaged inside the nucleus. The complexity of chromatin folding and how it is packaged inside the nucleus greatly influences access to genetic information. Generally, the nucleus' periphery is considered transcriptionally repressive, while the cell's interior is considered a transcriptionally active area.
Topologically Associated Domains (TADs)
The 3-dimensional positioning of chromatin in the nucleus influences the...

What is Gene Expression?

What is Gene Expression?

Overview
Gene expression is the process in which DNA directs the synthesis of functional products, that is, proteins. Cells can regulate gene expression at various stages. It allows organisms to generate different cell types and enables cells to adapt to internal and external factors.
Genetic Information Flows from DNA to RNA to Protein
A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is made up of nucleotides and proteins consist of amino...

What is Gene Expression?

What is Gene Expression?

A gene is a stretch of DNA that serves as the blueprint for functional RNAs and proteins. Since DNA is comprised of nucleotides and proteins are comprised of amino acids, a mediator is required to convert the information encoded in DNA into proteins. This mediator is the messenger RNA (mRNA). mRNA copies the blueprint from DNA by a process called transcription. In eukaryotes, transcription occurs in the nucleus by complementary base-pairing with the DNA template. The mRNA is then...

Expressing Solution Concentration

Expressing Solution Concentration

A solute is a component of a solution that is typically present at a much lower concentration than the solvent. Solute concentrations are often described with qualitative terms such as dilute (of relatively low concentration) and concentrated (of relatively high concentration).
Concentrations may be quantitatively assessed using a wide variety of measurement units, each convenient for particular applications. Molarity (M) is a useful concentration unit for many applications in chemistry.

Cell Specific Gene Expression

Cell Specific Gene Expression

Multicellular organisms contain a variety of structurally and functionally distinct cell types, but the DNA in all the cells originated from the same parent cells. The differences in the cells can be attributed to the differential gene expression. Liver cells, whose functions include detoxification of blood, production of bile to metabolize fats, and synthesis of proteins essential for metabolism, must express a specific set of genes to perform their functions. Gene expression also varies with...
