The Use of Cytokine and C-Reactive Protein Measurements in Cerebrospinal Fluid during Acute Infective MeningitisAnnals of Clinical Biochemistry - Tập 31 Số 3 - Trang 255-261 - 1994
M Stearman, H J Southgate
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP), tumour necrosis factor α (TNF), interleukin-6 (IL-6), total protein (TP) and white cell count with differential (WCC) have been measured in 24 patients presenting with acute bacterial or viral meningitis and also in a non-infected, non-inflammed control group ( n = 24). In acute viral meningitis, CRP levels were not rai...... hiện toàn bộ
CSF levels of PSA and PSA–ACT complexes in Alzheimer's diseaseAnnals of Clinical Biochemistry - Tập 46 Số 6 - Trang 477-483 - 2009

Background Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a serine protease that in serum, is predominantly found complexed to the serine protease inhibitor alpha1-antichymotrypsin (ACT). ACT co-localizes with amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain and both PSA and ACT are detectable in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Therefore, we aimed to determine whether PS...... hiện toàn bộ
The Measurement of Insulin-Like Growth Factor I: Clinical Applications and SignificanceAnnals of Clinical Biochemistry - Tập 23 Số 4 - Trang 413-424 - 1986
J D Teale, Vincent Marks
Of the somatomedins so far measured, the selective quantitation of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) appears to have the greatest potential in clinical diagnosis. There have been two approaches to the development of immunoassay systems. One type uses antibodies raised against synthetic fragments of IGF-I which exhibit cross-reactivity with the whole hormone. Such assay systems may be ad...... hiện toàn bộ
Biochemical Differences in Human Glomerular Basement Membrane Related to Diabetes and AgeAnnals of Clinical Biochemistry - Tập 19 Số 1 - Trang 17-21 - 1982
A. De Bats, E.L. RHODES, A. H. Gordon, Dennis V. Parke
Preparations of glomerular basement membrane from diabetic and young and aged normal subjects have been isolated and purified and the component carbohydrates and amino acids quantitatively determined. Diabetic membrane preparations, compared with membranes from young normal subjects, show significant increases in total hexoses, mannose, and galactose and decreases in sialic acid and gluco...... hiện toàn bộ
