In addition, in this second group of animals, prior to the biopsy procedure described above, aspirate samples were taken from both regions (osteotomy and metaphysis) using a 18 gauge needle to retrieve a specimen containing both cortical bone and bone marrow.
The remaining 227 tumor specimens contained both normal mucosa and tumor tissue.
Failure predictions are compared with the results of experiments performed on single edge notch bend SE(B) specimens containing both cracks and notches of varying notch root radii.
Specimens containing both 2% lime and 6% SBS, have the highest stiffness modulus which is 2.3 times higher than those of the control mixture and showed the least reduction in tensile strength ratio while maintaining 0.70 tensile strength ratio after seven freeze thaw cycle.
c Images of four tissue specimens from four patients: two HER2-positive specimens containing both tumor and normal tissue regions and two HER2-negative specimens (one tumor and one normal tissue).
The metastasis-associated gene signature showed significant overlap with profiles observed in clinical specimens containing both K ras and Lkb1 alterations.
This hypothesis could be appropriately tested by using primary specimens containing both tumor and adjacent normal tissues, not by cultured cells.
As the microbiology of our samples were unknown we chose to follow guidelines outlined by Hugenholtz et al for fixing specimens containing both Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms [ 28].
The limitation of our study lies in the studying of expression levels in specimens containing both normal and blast cells where the results may be affected by the contribution of normal cells.
Sequential autofluorescence surface images of specimens containing both tumour and normal tissue were obtained using a band pass filter (475 ± 25 nm) at a 365-nm excitation (F365ex) followed by a 405-nm excitation (F405ex), as shown in Fig. 1.
