RESUMEN
VisualiZation detection methods are used for determination of the concentration of unknown target by comparing the color change in the intensity or type of reaction solution by naked eye.VisualiZation detection method has some advantages such as simple and rapid operation, low detection cost, fast reaction speed, and detecting target concentration by means of naked eye.Gold nanomaterials are widely used in the construction of visual biosensors due to its unique optical properties.For example, when changing the distance or morphology of the particles, the plasmon resonance absorption peak of local surface will change accordingly.Herein, we reviewed the application of gold nanomaterials in visualiZation biosensors for the detection of target molecules, summed up the main problems of AuNP colormertic methods in the determination of actual samples, and provided an outlook of the future of gold nanoparticles-based biosensor in application development.
RESUMEN
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze the retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis in epithelial cancer of the ovary and offer scientific indications for lymph node radical dissection.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Fifty-eight patients with ovarian cancer treated from January 1990 to December 2000 were retrospectively reviewed. Single-factor and multifactor analysis with Logistic regression model were performed by SPSS 10.0 statistic software.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The metastasis rates of overall lymph nodes, pelvic nodes and para-aortic nodes were 48.3%, 37.9% and 25.9% respectively, among which no significant difference was noted (P > 0.05). Single-factor analysis showed that tumor location, ascitic condition, clinical stage and the size of residual tumor were associated with retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis. Multifactor analysis revealed that clinical stage and size of residual tumor were independent risk factors for metastasis of retroperitoneal lymph nodes.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>For early ovarian cancer patients, it is extremely important to perform radical dissection of the retroperitoneal lymph nodes. For advanced or residual lesions, radical dissection of pelvic nodes and para-aortic nodes could be considered in the second exploration.</p>
