We demonstrate that two spatially separated parties (Alice and Bob) can utilize shared prior quantum entanglement, and classical communications, to establish a synchronized pair of atomic clocks. In contrast to classical synchronization schemes, the accuracy of our protocol is independent of Alice's or Bob's knowledge of their relative locations or of the properties of the intervening medium.

Placental protein 4 (PP4) is a soluble placental tissue protein which was isolated from human placenta. The aim of the present study was to demonstrate the localization of cells containing PP4 in human placenta and in various female genital tissues under normal conditions. PP4 immunoreactive structures were demonstrated by using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase immunohistochemical technique. The samples were obtained from normal human placenta, umbilical cord, uterine cervix, endometrium, ovary and vulva. The most differentiated trophoblastic cells, the syncytiotrophoblasts, as well as the intermediate trophoblast cells contained PP4. PP4 immunoreactivity was present in umbilical cord as well. Occasionally PP4 was detected in normal ovarian, endometrial or vulvar tissue samples. Cervix and myometrium were free of PP4 immunoreactive material. PP4 staining was cytoplasmic. Our findings indicate that PP4 cannot be considered specific for the placenta since it is present in some human adult tissues as well.

The aim of the study was to demonstrate the localization of placental protein 4 (PP4) in different nontumorous and tumorous tissues originating from the female genital tract. PP4 immunoreactivity was demonstrated using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase immunohistochemical technique. Tissue samples were obtained from the cervix and body of the uterus, ovary, vulva and from gestational trophoblastic tumors. PP4-positive cells were present in nontumorous tissues with various pathologic findings, and in many but not all benign gynecological tumors. Similar numbers of PP4-positive cells were located in malignant and benign gynecological tumors; however, PP4 staining intensity was greater in the malignant lesions. PP4-positive cells were found in hydatidiform moles and in choriocarcinoma. PP4 was distributed mainly in the cytoplasm, but it was also bound to the cell membrane. We conclude from these studies that PP4 is located in a variety of benign and malignant cells of the female genital tract and that these cells may be the source of plasma PP4 found in patients with these conditions.
