TL;DR
The newly constructed quantitative immunochromatographic strip assay (IAIS) is a simple, rapid, and reliable method for serum AFP measurement and is ideal for outpatient or point-of-care AFP testing.
Abstract
The newly constructed quantitative immunochromatographic strip assay (IAIS) is a simple, rapid, and reliable method for serum AFP measurement. With the simple equipment required, the IAIS can be performed outside the laboratory and is ideal for outpatient or point-of-care AFP testing.

It is shown that every simply-connected object in such a picture has elements which can be deleted without destroying its simple- connectedness, which makes it easy to prove that a well-known "shrinking" algorithm always works--that is, shrinks any simply- connected object down to a single element.
