Aim: We investigated whether plasma levels of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) could serve as a diagnostic indicatorfor assessing disease progression in ovarian cancer (OC) patients. Material and Methods: In this study, we enrolled 98 patients with OC, 70 patients with benign ovarian tumors and 75 healthy controls. Plasma levels of LPA and cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) were measured in all study su…
Methane reforming and partial oxidation was studied to evaluate the catalytic effects of coal chars and coal ashes on methane (CH4) conversion, sum selectivity (the sum of H2 and CO), and ratio selectivity (the ratio of H2/CO) in an atmospheric fluidized bed. The kinetics study presented the possibility of CH4 reforming and partial oxidation with a favorable H2/CO ratio, greater than 5. The …
