5% (95% CI 65.9%-85.5%) with no remarkable difference between groups (P = .67). Likewise, there was no significant difference in 3-year PFS between tumors regardless of p53 or p16 status. However, in a subgroup analysis for 17 patients with a strong expression of EpCAM, AF showed better 3-year PFS than SF (100% vs 54.5%, P = .07). From the current study, it could not be concluded that EpCAM, p16, and p53 were prognostic factors for early-stage glottic cancer after primary radiation therapy. AF might be an appropriate fractionation for tumors with a strong expression of EpCAM. 3 Laryngoscope, 2020. 3 Laryngoscope, 2020.Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the heart attack happening when the blood flow is terminated to the heart muscles. C-reactive protein (CRP) level is raising significantly in AMI patients after the onset of symptom; also, temporal variations of CRP in plasma of AMI patient have also been found. Quantifying the concentration of CRP helps to identify the condition associated with AMI. Plasmonic enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was utilized here to identify CRP by the sandwich of aptamer and antibody. NX2127 Bare-eye CRP detection was achieved by plasmonic ELISA through the aggregation (blue color) of gold nanoparticle in the presence of CRP, whereas in the absence of CRP, it retains its red color (dispersion). Depending on the catalase presence on the ELISA surface, hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) controls gold growth and differentiates with color changes. To achieve the lowest detection limit of CRP, H2 O2 (200 µM), gold seed (0.2 µM), and streptavidin-catalase (1500) were found optimal. The detection limit was reached at 0.25 µg/mL, whereas it was 0.5 µg/mL in the CRP-spiked serum. This method of detection system is easier to detect the levels of CRP and helps diagnosing AMI.A novel Bacillus sp.PM06 isolated from sugarcane waste pressmud was tested for extracellular α-amylase and cellulase enzyme production. The effect of different substrates, nitrogen sources, pH, and temperature on growth and extracellular enzyme production was examined. Bacillus sp.PM06 was able to grow with starch and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as a sole source of carbon and ammonium chloride was found to be the best nitrogen source. Maximum enzyme production was obtained at 48 H for both α-amylase and cellulase. The optimal condition for measuring enzyme activity was found to be pH 5.5 at 50 °C for α-amylase and pH 6.4 at 60 °C for cellulase respectively. It was found that Bacillus sp.PM06 exhibited halotolerance up to 2 M Sodium chloride (NaCl) and Potassium chloride (KCl). The isolate could produce α-amylase in the presence of 2 M NaCl and 1 M KCl. However, the strain produced cellulase even in the presence of 2 M NaCl and KCl. Concomitant production of both enzymes was observed when the medium was supplemented with starch and CMC. A maximum of 31 ± 1.15 U/mL of amylase and 15 ± 1.5 U/mL of cellulase was produced in 48 H. The enzyme was partially purified by Ammonium sulphate (NH4 )2 SO4 precipitation with 2.2 and 2.3-fold purification. To determine whether early (4-8h) post-operative ACTH after trans-sphenoidal surgery (TSS) predicts long-term hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function and to investigate early morning day 1 ACTH/cortisol variability using rapid sampling. Prospective observational study. Participants undergoing TSS were included; those treated with glucocorticoids pre-operatively received 100mg intravenous hydrocortisone on anaesthetic induction. ACTH and cortisol were measured post-operatively at+4h and+8h after induction and on day 1 every 10minutes between 0700h and 0900h. glucocorticoid requirement at 6months. Nineteen participants (10F, 9M) 6/19 (32%) were treated with replacement glucocorticoids pre-operatively; 4 had ceased by 6weeks post-operatively. One patient developed new hypopituitarism post-operatively me
