  • Publication number: 20250084527
    Abstract: The disclosure belongs to the technical field of trace organic matter detection, and relates to a substrate holder for mass production of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates. The substrate holder includes a ring-shaped body and a support frame thereof. A plurality of cones are disposed on the ring-shaped body, and a plurality of substrates are pasted on both surfaces of each cone. The substrate holder disclosed in disclosure allows for simultaneous deposition of silver nanorods on a plurality of substrates by glancing angle deposition method. An array film composed of the silver nanorods of a plurality of substrates has good product homogeneity, and the production efficiency of a traditional preparation method can be improved.

  • Publication number: 20150275315
    Abstract: Tyrosine phosphorylation, regulated by protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) and kinases (PTKs), is important in signaling pathways underlying tumorigenesis. A mutational analysis of the tyrosine phosphatase gene superfamily in human cancers identified 83 somatic mutations in six PTPs (PTPRF, PTPRG, PTPRT, PTPN3, PTPN13, PTPN14), affecting 26% of colorectal cancers and a smaller fraction of lung, breast and gastric cancers. Fifteen mutations were nonsense, frameshift or splice site alterations predicted to result in truncated proteins lacking phosphatase activity. Five missense mutations in the most commonly altered PTP (PTPRT) were biochemically examined and found to reduce phosphatase activity. Expression of wild-type but not a mutant PTPRT in human cancer cells inhibited cell growth. These observations suggest that the tyrosine phosphatase genes are tumor suppressor genes, regulating cellular pathways that may be amenable to therapeutic intervention.
