Expression of MT-1 MMP, MMP2, MMP9 and TIMP2 mRNAs in Ductal Carcinoma in Situ and Invasive Ductal Carcinoma of the Breast

We investigated the expression of membrane type-1 (MT1)-MMP, MMP2, MMP9 and TIMP2 mRNAs and their roles in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and T1 and T2 invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast. We further compared these two types of carcinomas for differences in microvessel density, and expression of angiogenic factors and CD44std. MT1-MMP, MMP2, MMP9 and TIMP2 mRNA were expressed in both DCIS and invasive ductal carcinomas. Expression rates of MT1-MMP, MMP2, MMP9 and TIMP2 mRNAs were not statistically different between DCIS and invasive ductal carcinomas, nor did they differ statistically when grouped by tumor size, histologic grade or nuclear grade of invasive ductal carcinoma. Microvessel density and expression of VEGF and TGF-β1 were not statistically different between DCIS and invasive ductal carcinoma. CD44std expression was significantly increased in DCIS compared to invasive ductal carcinoma (p < 0.05) and it was also significantly increased in lower clinical stage, histologic grade and nuclear grade of invasive ductal carcinoma (p < 0.05). Axillary node metastasis was significantly correlated with MT1-MMP mRNA, VEGF and TGF-β1 expression (p < 0.05) and MT1-MMP mRNA was positively correlated with VEGF expression and TIMP2 mRNA (p < 0.05). In summary, patterns of MMP mRNA expression in DCIS and invasive ductal carcinoma suggest that the invasive potential of breast carcinoma is already achieved before morphologically overt invasive growth is observed. As MT1-MMP mRNA expression is significantly correlated with axillary nodal metastasis, it may be useful as a prognostic indicator of invasive ductal carcinoma. Considering the positive correlation of MT1-MMP mRNA and TIMP2mRNA expression, our finding supports a role for TIMP2 in tumor growth, as well as the utility of CD44std as a prognostic indicator of breast cancer

Stochastic thermodynamic production model for shale gas reservoirs

Master's thesis in Petroleum engineeringMost operating companies use Decline Curve Analysis (DCA) for their production forecast on Shale Gas assets (Mongalvy, Chaput and Agarwal, 2011). DCA method is based in empirical analysis and the theoretical background behind DCA for shale gas wells has not been fully proven. In addition to the DCA method, there are methods based in flow equations discretized using finite difference method (FDM). Currently, neither of these methods fully provide a physical thermodynamic description of the processes occurring at the reservoir. Also, none of the models by themselves provide a possible surface desorption area of the of the induced fracture network. This thesis contains a dedicated Stochastic Thermodynamic Production Model for Shale gas reservoirs (named ST Pro model) as a possible novel way of forecasting the production of shale gas wells. This novelty is by means of a stochastic thermodynamic analysis of the geochemical properties of shale gas. The ST PRO Model assumes the free gas contained in the micro fractures flows at the initial production of the well. Once all free gas in the micro fractures has been released to the surface, the well performs uniquely based on the desorption production mechanism. The desorption is modeled by means of the geochemical characteristics of the shale gas combined with first and second law of thermodynamics. ST PRO Model uses an isotherm based on entropy (named RP isotherm) to model desorption. RP isotherm is proposed as an alternative to Langmuir or Freundlich adsorption isotherms. ST PRO Model provides a gas production forecasting of an individual well or group of wells located at a shale gas reservoir. Additionally to forecasting, ST PRO Model gives an estimation of desorption surface area from where the shale gas is desorbing into the well. This is by means of a spherical diffusion model inspired by John Crank’s model. The original model was adapted to our specific process of shale gas desorption, and applied to quantify the surface area of the fracture network from where the shale gas might be desorbing at reservoir conditions. ST PRO Model was applied in a group of wells located at Appalachian Basin, USA. ST PRO Model can potentially provide: 1) Production forecast of an individual or a group of wells; 2)A possible surface desorption area of the induced fracture network . ST PRO Model is a potential novel tool for forecasting and surface desorption area quantification in an individual or group of shale gas wells. A new desorption isotherm based on entropy is proposed. Novel analysis is shown by means of a stochastic thermodynamic analysis of the geochemical properties of shale gas.submittedVersio

Centers of Pedagogy: New Structures for Educational Renewal

This volume in the AgAnda for Education in a Democracy series examines a growing movement of schools and universities collaborating in ways that break down traditional barriers and promote systemic educational renewal. Centers of Pedagogy offers a practical framework for advancing university-school collaboration on educational improvement. The authors draw from their diverse experiences as university deans and focus on the Centers of Pedagogy model, a strategy conceived by John Goodlad and refined by participating institutions in the National Network for Educational Renewal. Under this model, faculty in teacher education, the arts and sciences, and the P-12 schools work together to provide aspiring teachers with a well-rounded education. This collaboration ultimately improves school curricula, teaching practice, and the education of educators. Featuring case examples from a variety of successful partnership programs, this book studies the policies, organizational structures, and other key conditions needed to establish such vital centers

Semi- and full quantitative EDS microanalysis of chlorine in reinforced mortars subjected to chloride ingress and carbonation

Energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS) is a powerful tool for research studies on building materials. Elemental quantification in cementitious phases contained in the concrete microstructure can be performed at an excellent spatial resolution. However, accurate compositional quantification requires a standard-based analysis, whereas currently the most common are standardless microanalysis. Reasons behind this approach lie on the difficulty of finding appropriate microanalysis standards in EDS studies. In standard-less analyses, elemental quantification from an EDS spectrum provides normalized quantification, i.e. an analytical total of 100%. Most EDS detectors cannot provide reliable data for elements with smaller atomic number than sodium, which results in the stoichiometric determination of oxygen. The aim of this paper is raise awareness about the importance of a controlled experimental parameters and the use of mineral standards when performing EDS analysis on cementitious materials. For this purpose, both types of investigation (with and without standards) are performed simultaneously in order to obtain chloride profiles in six reinforced mortar specimens subjected to chloride ingress and carbonation. Results illustrate that differences in element concentrations can be derived by the absence of mineral standards which could lead to inaccurate interpretations of element concentrations such as chlorine.Structural EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience
