However, to obtain sufficient RNA from laser-capture microdissected cells is quite difficult. The study was designed to determinc a feasible technical routine to isolate transitional cells from bladder membrane, separate carcinoma cclls from stromal cells and to amplify the RNA isolated from laser-capture microdissected cells. Methods: Bladder transitional cell were obtained from frozen sections of bladder membrane applying LCM, by the same token, BTCC cells from frozen sections of BTCC tissue. Then RNA was extracted and linearly amplified in vitro. The expression levels of β-actin in primary total RNA and amplified RNA were detected using RT-PCR. Results: That RNA integrity was good after LCM was confirmed by control experiment Ⅰ; By control experiment Ⅱ, the correlation between the number of LCM-shooting and RNA quantity undcr arranged conditions was preliminarily confirmed. About 0.5-2.5kb RNA fragments were obtained after RNA amplification and β-actin levels were integral. Conclusion: Laser capture microdissection combined with RNA linear amplification in vitro can be successfully applied to obtain pure objective cells for research. The integrity of the amplified RNA is good and can be employed in further research.展开更多

We here give a general frame- work for improving the NLA scheme with arbitrary general local unitary operations. We derive the improvement in the amplification gain in 0 1 photon subspace. In particular, we study if the local unitary is composed of sin- gle mode squeezing and coherent displacement operation. Finally, numerical simulations show that local unitary operation could give a further enhancement in the amplification gain as well as the success probability, making the NLA more feasible in future optic quantum communications.展开更多

The delay resolution is 2 ps and the root mean square jitter of the delay is 4.71 ps, leading to an error vector magnitude enhancement of 1.32 dB.展开更多

An all-digital synthesizable baseband for a delay-based LINC transmitter is implemented. This paper proposes a standard-cell based synthesizable methodology which can be applied in the ASIC process efficiently without performance degradation compared to the manual layout. A scheme to overcome the limited resolution of conventional phase detectors is proposed. It employs alter- native phase detector structures to provide reconfigurability for higher resolution after fabricating, resulting in an 11 ps resolution improvement. Due to the PVT variation, an adaptive calibration scheme focusing on the inherent imbalance between two delay lines is depicted, which reveals an effective EVM enhancement of 5.37 dB. This baseband chip is implemented in 0.13 μm CMOS technology, and the transmitter with the baseband has an EVM of-28.96 dB and an ACPR of-29.51 dB, meeting the design requirement.展开更多
