Multiplex polymerase chain reaction: A practical approach Tập 16 Số 1 - Trang 47-51 - 2002
Panayotis Markoulatos, Nikolaos Siafakas, Maurice L.J. Moncany
AbstractConsiderable time and effort can be saved by simultaneously amplifying multiple sequences in a single reaction, a process referred to as multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Multiplex PCR requires that primers lead to amplification of unique regions of DNA, both in individual pairs and in combinations of many primers, under a single set of reaction co...... hiện toàn bộ Checklist for optimization and validation of real‐time PCR assays Tập 23 Số 3 - Trang 145-151 - 2009

AbstractReal‐time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a frequently used technique in molecular diagnostics. To date, practical guidelines for the complete process of optimization and validation of commercial and in‐house developed molecular diagnostic methods are scare. Therefore, we propose a practical guiding principle for the optimization and validation of real‐t...... hiện toàn bộ What are the cut‐off levels for IL‐6 and CRP in neonatal sepsis?

AbstractNeonatal sepsis, characterized by systemic signs of infection in the first month of life, remains an important clinical syndrome. Despite advances in neonatology, it has high rates of mortality and morbidity. The combine or alone usage of interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) and C‐reactive protein (CRP) has recently been proven to be useful in the early diagnosis of sepsis...... hiện toàn bộ Prostate‐specific antigen and prostate gland volume: Correlation and clinical application Tập 4 Số 2 - Trang 135-137 - 1990
R. Joseph Babaian, Robert B. Evans, Herbert A. Fritsche
AbstractWe studied 103 patients seen in our Prostate Cancer Detection Clinic to determine whether a correlation exists between serum prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) values and ultrasound‐calculated prostate gland volume. Seventy men (68%) had a PSA value ≤ ng/ml (our upper limit of normal). The men were subclassified by prostate gland volume at arbitrary break poin...... hiện toàn bộ Clinical values of circular RNA 0000181 in the screening of gastric cancer Tập 32 Số 4 - 2018

BackgroundCircular RNAs (circRNAs) are recently found involved in cancer occurrence and development. However, their values in the diagnosis of gastric cancers are largely unknown. In this study, we analyzed the values of hsa_circ_0000181 in the diagnosis of gastric cancer.MethodsUsing divergen...... hiện toàn bộ Potential clinical applications of c‐reactive protein Tập 4 Số 3 - Trang 231-235 - 1990

AbstractThis article reviews the clinical applications of C‐reactive protein (CRP). This acute‐phase protein is a distinct and sensitive marker for inflammation and tissue injury. It is a simple, fast, and relatively inexpensive latex agglutination test. The aspects of CRP reviewed include diagnostic support, serial measurements to evaluate disease course and thera...... hiện toàn bộ Cholesterol oxides and carcinogenesis Tập 5 Số 3 - Trang 219-225 - 1991
Robert J. Morin, Bing Hu, Shi‐Kaung Peng, Alex Sevanian
AbstractExperimental evidence indicates a relationship between cholesterol α‐epoxide and skin cancer, and exposure of skin fibroblasts to ultraviolet radiation enduces formation of significant levels of this oxide. Colon cancer is also etiologically linked to cholesterol oxidation products. Higher than normal levels of cholestanetriol have been found in patients wi...... hiện toàn bộ
