Lab Note #2 The first experiment

 

Lab note #2

Experiment date: 2020.08.28

Material: phospholipase A2 from honey bee venom (Apis mellifera), 5-Fluorouracil, colorectal cancer cell. (WIDR and HCT 15). Pipette, plate, sucker (?),

 

Before I start an experiment, I observed cells using a microscope. I could see that compared to WIDR, HCT 15 has grown a lot and more compacted. The shapes of cells were both round. Several WIDR cells were compacted together, and this made the sizes of each cell different. (I could see that compacted cells are separated from each other after I put TE buffer.)

 

1. Making stock solution

*The concentration of stock solution is determined after reading several similar studies about PLA2 and 5 FU

Concentration 5 FU-1mg/ml / PLA2-1500u/ml

(I assumed the unit of PLA2 that I bought is __, the medium of the range mentioned in the selling site)

Method:

5-FU stock solution  

1.     Measure 0.015g of 5-FU powder

2.     Using a pipette, put Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in tube filled with 0,015g of 5-FU powder (organic solvent)

3.     Mix thoroughly with a machine about 5 minutes

PLA2 stock solution

1.     Put PBS in 1mg of PLA2

2.     Mix thoroughly with a machine about 5 minutes

Finally, I stored them in refrigerator.

 

2.

The purpose of experiment was to observe (1) the impact of PLA2 on colorectal cancer cells that have EGFR mutation and those that do not have the mutation (2) the impact of 5-FU , the most common colorectal cancer drug on colorectal cancer cells that have EGFR mutation and those that do not have the mutation according to the concentration time.

The setting of the experiment is determined after reading several similar studies.

Approximate final volume: 500ul

I planned to examine the result after 72 hours later.

 

Method:

1.

RPMI 1640= glucose + buffering chemical + PH indicator+ FBS + PS

TE buffer

1.     Suck RPMI 1640.

2.     Put TE buffer and wait 7 minutes (5-10minutes)

TE buffer is for getting cells that were originally adjoined in the floor of plate.

(cells should not be with TE buffer more than 10 minutes because cell can get damage.

3.     Separate cells and TE buffer using centrifuge

4.     Suck TE butter

Leave a little amount of buffer. (Cells can be sucked together if I try to suck entire buffer)

5.     Put RPMI 1640

6.     Put 500ul of solution (RPMI 1650 + colorectal cell) in small plates.

7.     Put PLA2 and 5 FU (chart. 1)

8.     Store the completed plated in the culture medium

Why you should...

Speech 2 Prompt: Why you should.... Come up with a title using the above, and state it at the beginning of your speech. Keep in mind that this is basically open topic, and can be either a warning against something or a positive piece of advice. I suggested KMLA, but you mostly voted to make it open. My advice: Write it out completely and follow a Journey/Character Arc and segment it into a Memory Palace with CLEARLY defined segments. Requirments: You must use ONE MEANGINGFUL PAUSE in your speech. I will demonstrate this. You must make use of at least one segment of DIALOGUE.0  You must use the expression - "For the love of god" one time. 0 You must use REPETITION at least once. Ex: "Maybe it was because the weather was rainy. Maybe it was because my shoes were wet. Maybe it was because my umbrella was broken. But clearly, the weather made my mood only worse, so I screamed at my brother." 0  Have fun, don't be afraid to read from a paper if you aren't fully c...

To God.

  To God. God, I decided not to trust you anymore. I feel like you are merely an illusion now. I feel like ‘full faith on you’ that people talk about is a result of self-brainwashing. When I confessed this to mom, a committed Christian, she seemed to be very angry. Maybe, she felt like I was telling her like this. ‘congratulations! You succeeded brainwashing yourself into believing that a fake is a real!’ Of course, I didn’t mean it, but everyone whom I confessed this reacted similarly. In fact, there was a person who showed a different reaction from others. My friend, B, told me that a faith is not what I can have just because I want it, but what you present to people who crave for it and all I can do now is to pray for that faith. But I can’t believe it either. What is faith exactly? Isn’t it just a result of giving up having a question on your existence and hypnotizing myself that you are a real? I can’t even believe that millions of people who don’t be...

Now I know.

 A grim-faced girl who is waving her hands violently to get a taxi on streets. Her red face was soaked with tears continuously falling down. Because she couldn't breathe properly, she had to keep making weird noise trying to breathe. Everybody passing her by was glancing at her wondering what is wrong with her. Some of them might have wondered whether they should help her, but they could not get close to her easily because she seemed to be out of mind. She seemed literally crazy.   This was how I looked when I heard that dad collapsed and was rushed to the emergency room from mom on the phone. Because she told me that I should keep it secret from my little sister, I had to suppress my surprise in house and burst into tears on streets, getting taxi to go to a hospital dad's in.   "God, please secure him."   In a taxi, I kept praying to god wishing him to be safe. I wished it was a slight sickness.   "Mom! Is he okay? Can I see him?"  I as...
