Our objective was to estimate the efficacy of the measurement of serum YKL-40 alone or with CA125 as biomarkers for the diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) using the YKL-40 ELISA kit. An experimental group of 49 ovarian cancer patients included 42 patients with EOC (53 ± 15 years, range: 19-81 years) and 7 patients (48 ± 13 years, range: 29-36 years) with borderline epithelial ovarian tumor. A control ...
Silicon carbon nitride thin films have been deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering of silicon and graphite targets in mixed Ar/N2 atmosphere at substrate temperature of 300 °C. The substrate bias voltage varied from -50 up to +50 Vand the nitrogen flow rate varied from 0 to 20 sccm. The as-deposited films were analyzed by Raman spectroscopy (RS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The Raman analyses...
